'Then there was the "Why did god save your life" question.'
For those who believe in G*d, that's a good question: why the hell did He?

@w7voa We need to know how likely they are to vote. If I'm not mistaken, their votes could simply be weighted by that percentage (but it would add an uncertainty factor, perhaps greater than its usefulness. Perhaps if the question were asked indirectly, as "On a scale of 0-100, How important is voting?")

Thanks. Snopes has edited the entry and added another page to discuss the images. They have been in touch with the hoaxer, who has explained that they simply edited a pirate copy of the e-book to insert the page 180 (couch) material. The owner of a first edition also reports the passage is not in it. The page 21 (M&M container, hotdogs) passage is not discussed.
There are more important things happening at the moment, as Kamala stands up to Bibi.

The funny thing is that it's not actually a heritage, like Dannevirke and Norsewood or Dunedin or Waipu. A homesick Dutchman built a windmill, then the cafe followed and the museum got in on the act, then the town started celebrating Queen's day. It's all authentic enough, but quite recent.

Snopes has marked the story as false. I have sent this image to them.
For further confirmation, you should post the copyright page with the edition number.
Please also show us page 21.

But is it? Kanala didn't waver for a moment, and his speech declining the poisoned chalice the Supreme Court has given him shows he is as sharp as ever.

This is self-evidently absurd. As Ada Lovelace said in 1842, a [computer] can only do what it is [programmed] to do. AI can not invent solutions, it can only pillage the total of human/computer activity and provide plausible answers to questions.
Count the fingers.

"EV or hybrid" is misleading. Non-plug-in hybrids are just more efficient ICEs. All their energy comes from fossil fuels, just less is wasted on brake pad heat and wear. And if the electricity supply comes from fossil fuels, EVs just move the problem.

Fine tuning: A crucifix is not just a posh way of saying a cross, it's an image of a crucifixion, i.e. a cross with Jesus on it, usually Catholic. Protestants usually just wear and wave crosses.

I think we can expect worse from the WP after the recent shake up.
As for the felon, he hasn't yet shown any limit to his depravity. Your quote shows he doesn't believe in the fundamental principle of equality under the law, or indeed in the law itself, but does believe in retribution.

Has there ever been anyone as crooked as this man? The list of his crimes and evils is mind-numbing, yet has anyone had such adulation? The reaction of Catholic crowds to the Pope, or English crowds to Queen Elizabeth in the 1950s, pales in comparison.
The mix of evil and veneration resembles cult leaders like Jim Jones, Charles Manson, and the Heaven's Gate couple, but his numbers on every metric leaves them trailing in the dust.

Global warming was recognised as an urgent issue in the 1990s.
The cost of cutting our carbon emissions, that seems so high today, will appear trivial when it is too late to implement it. The more we delay, the worse it will be.
