Nah, we don’t need a border with the US.

Does honorary member Australia want in though?

Is this “crappy”? I’d assume it’s meant to indicate “next day”. In 24 hour time systems, you might see 25:00, 26:00 etc to do the same.

Yep. That’s because there can’t be a “0th year after that one geezer was born”. It’s -1 BC (the last year before) and then immediately 1 AD (the first year after).

(I know they did the calculations wrong and it should actually be somewhere around -6 to -4. That doesn’t change the fact that there is no year 0.)

We’re all aware that that’s the original reason but the point is that the franchise made an effort to come up with an answer that makes sense in-universe.

Barrowman is still persona non grata and it’s doubtful if fandom would accept Torchwood without Cpt Jack. Maybe after Rogue is finally revealed to be Jack.

I’ve never sold any of my art but

It is offensive […] on what relative little went into making it

What I find offensive is judging art on how much visible “effort” non-artists think went into it. That’s not how that works.

Owning a piece of art is a luxury, nobody NEEDS it, it’s not food or shelter or anything necessary for survival. Pricing is purely a matter between seller (artist) and buyer, I don’t see how “ethics” come into it (other than when buyers are trying to shame artists into lowering their prices to a point where they can’t live off their own work anymore).

How exactly is this information helpful to law enforcement in this case?

… I know. I’m saying that I was taken aback at what the headline, to me, seemed to imply and that, imho, different wording might have been better.

I was ready to give them the benefit of the doubt and went to look up if Marx maybe did originally spell it with a C (not entirely outside the realm of possibility). No, he didn’t. An outrage.

Dachshund is an English word that also shouldn’t exist.
