As opposed to Victorinox, that is?
#40 Wait, so how did he pay for it?
I guess you could call the field _Argent, five barrulets gules_ but that seems a stretch
#27 Argent, a lion rampant chequy of gules and sable, armed and langued vert. The lion doesn't just have a mani-pedi, it's also had its tongue done.
If she does that, just make sure you marry her and not a princess from Cameliard, or else ruin may befall you and the realm.
They're probably burning gas and/or diesel in power plants. Less AC = less fuel burned to make electricity.
I'm not from those countries, but the news here in Australia has been covering it; e.g. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-20/iran-war-asia-cost-of-living-tech-ai-industries/106467872
I'm guessing your calculation is: 20% of world oil and gas passes through the straight of Hormuz; 10% of that volume is gas; therefore (20% x 10%) = 2% of of global supply goes via Hormuz. Is that right?If so, remember that's not 2% of global *gas* supply -- it's 2% of *oil and gas*. The percentage of specifically-gas supply will be higher.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Natural-gas-production-by-region-terawatt-hours-twh.svg, the Middle East produces about 15% of global supply. At least if I'm reading the chart right.
Umm ... not that we aren't dependent on oil in a zillion ways, but:rubber literally grows on trees.
If you're talking about seeing them in the news, keep in mind we've put a good amount of effort into detecting near-earth asteroids in the past ten years or so.
"Armadillos can hold their breath for six minutes"The first word has the same first and fourth letter, and likewise the seventh and eighth. Not many words fit that pattern. Once you have armadillos, the rest is quick to follow.
You're assuming, of course, that you would be a member of the Party
How big is that compared to a sulphur-crested cockatoo?
It's about the same size as Tobias from Animorphs, then?
I did not read this correctly, and thought that ocean was named Chloe
How big of a tree?If a full-size Eucalytus regnans or something approached me, I'd be terrified.
The hole in the ozone layer's still around, it's just smaller than it's used to be --- just Antarctica and maybe far South America I think?I was going to say it still causes skin cancer in Tasmania, but I just googled that, and apparently it doesn't.
I believe things like catalytic converters, that neutralised the acidic compounds before they get into the environment. I think coal power plants have a similar system nowadays to reduce sulphur, though I'm not sure how it works.See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rain#Prevention_methods
And it's also obviously not a jersey fabric like OP's post
I wear something like https://www.cityclub.com.au/products/shima-1007-trouser-black, which are dress pants with elastic on the inside of the waistband, but a stiff waistband on the outside so they still look dressy on the outside.That is a mens' cut though, which I'm not sure is what you or the OP are looking for
Don't you have to pay Red Hat for that?
#29 what if she's the kind that grows _only_ after a forest fire?
I don't know ... ice skates and ski boots are both pretty bad to walk in, but they work well for their respective sports.
#30 For some reason I thought Socrates was a cobbler, but on doing more research it sounds like he just inherited his parents' wealth, and maybe was a stonemason for a bit before he became a full-time philosopher.
Umbrella?
The US has those taxes as well, although I'm not sure if it's as much: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/understanding-employment-taxes
Except the occasional weird hand santiser that uses some a non-alcohol disinfectant --- I haven't seen that kind for a while but they were definitely around during COVID.
This is true, but be aware that some transparent wood finishes (e.g. shellac) are alcohol-based themselves, so using an alcohol solvent on them will mess up the finish
It's got to be lower than one billion.Divide up the wealth of all the world's billionaires, share it out equally, and it only comes to a couple of thousand USD per person on the planet. I'd think the socialists would need more than that to accomplish much. (https://www.forbes.com.au/news/billionaires/forbes-worlds-billionaires-list-2025-the-top-200/)
