It makes perfect sense when viewed from "the credit companies work with lenders to ensure your credit only rises if you're constantly in more and more debt but still paying it like an obedient little wage slave"

I would agree if it weren't painfully obvious the Russian elections that brought put in in weren't heavily influenced by putin-run domestic terrorism and election fraud.

Wait, actually, it still is a good comparison.

Carry on.

Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.

I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.

I have other acids that work much quicker, but I'm having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my "Honey Knife"

Because we have knives already in our kitchens, and they don't take up extra space in a drawer that would otherwise go to another more useful utensil.

Also my cheese slicers have all been cheap as shit and snap after a few months, and the nice heavy duty one I had with a replaceable wire got lost in the move earlier this year and they discontinued it and I'm sad.

So theft and extortion. I remember when those were crimes.

There’s at least cause for a citizens arrest at that point

Yes, but....

gives a reasonable person fear of imminent bodily harm or death

Driver could shoot the HSI douche in the head and I'd say self defense isn't murder.

You hop in my car like that, you're gonna have a bad day.

Why would you give water to a country that has threatened to invade you in recent months?

"Why do you need another warp 5 core? These things are hard to make, you know!"

"Well, we plugged the last two you gave us together.... In case you're wondering, we did NOT hit warp 10, however, we found all kinds of new radiations to study!"

I guarentee that if you murdered someone with a flintlock pistol by shooting them, arguing that “technically its not a gun” would not help your defense in any reaonable way.

No, but if you get arrested for having one, you absolutely can argue it's not a gun.

Plenty of legal cases have been decided on technicalities.

That's the neat part, they don't!

I'd argue that a device that also happens to render the user invisible is not inherently a cloaking device.

A flintlock pistol is not legally a firearm in the US, and that distinction matters to quite a few people around here.

Now, ultimately the end result is the same (invisibility/shooty stick go boom) so in the end, the romulans would still consider it a cloak.
