If you actually do anything like this, what will happen is that 2 of the counters will see it. Maybe if there is someone tallying (it doesn't always happen in the presidential), they'll see it. It will count as spoilt and it will be put in a pile of spoilts, and no one will ever think of it again.

Of course! Central Paris, where bicycle rides outnumber car + taxi + scooter journeys: The perfect place to use to illustrate a bad point!

The best bit of AI slop that I've run into recently, I suspect that the amount of confusion that occurs between Globulin and Goblins is higher among AIs than doctors

Yep, but the source is a Garda quote.
I don't think that vehicle is road legal here at all, given the way they market it.
It's pretty clear what an ebike is though, the Gardaí shouldn't be making this kind of mistake.

I honestly can't imagine what goes on in the heads of these people as they get up in the morning, get dressed, have their breakfast, and step out into the world ready to make it a colder, harsher, more danger place for vulnerable people

I'm talking about the ones called "small", which you'd find on boomers, icebreakers, and aircraft carriers. Obviously civilian NPPs don't use weapons grade uranium, but they are also not small.

All this is true. And hitler'd agree with you. When asked about using the term (despite his movement being the antithesis of socialism), his response was to say that he meant something completely different, and racist, to everyone else that uses the term.

I see that Americans are, apparently, renting chickens for hundreds of dollars, ostensibly for food etc.
But chick's cost a tenner each.
Are they just paying for someone to take them away at the end for the murdering bit?
