Reply to comment by elmanutres in TIL that beans are banned in Spacecraft because they can produce "1-3 cups of flatus" in an environment where there are no windows by April_Spring_1982
I proudly volunteer to eat these things in great magnitude in space so as to set the court precedent for future generations.
Also because I've been accused of my farts being a war crime in the past and I would love to see that in a courts transcript. I will frame that on my kitchen wall.

had a similar experience at a Deer exhibit in Colorado (I don't remember what city). None of the locals cared and I heard a kid ask "are those the same ones that we saw in our yard?"

Reply to comment by locks_are_paranoid in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87
Not at all iff you considered history, statistics, or logic. But sure, blame the economy on police so that you can empower the same politicians that actually caused the issues. Seems to be the "'Merican Way" of thinking.

it also tends to backfire.
But not to mention in no way at all addresses any actual issues. Blaming the police for homelessness, violence, etc.

pretty sure then they just look for a way to fund themselves.
not to mention that makes no attempts to solve the actual root problems, just blaming the people meant to be helping(meant to doesn't even imply its what they do)

In California there was a case of an armed truck transporting cash seized on the grounds "the truck might be related to the legal sell of Marijuana" because a similar truck used by a different company (not the same truck, driver, company, etc) was previously seen parked outside a legal dispensary. Even after they proved that vehicle did not have any illegal funds and did not even service any Marijuana facility, not to mention Marijuana is legal in California, they refused to return the millions stolen.
They literally robben an armored truck at gunpoint, assaulted and kidnapped the guards, falsified charges, stole the money, then only released their prisoners when they were forced to because their false charges didn't stick, then had to be taken to court to get the money back (because they refused).

Reply to TIL the phrase “you can’t handle the truth” was created/ improvised by Jack Nicholson. The movie's original screenplay boasted the line "You already have the truth," which Nicholson trimmed to "You can't handle the truth." by SixedSigma
