They butchered and ate them (in the case of the Norse). They knew what they were down to the bones. Makes sense that their description to the Greek artists gave them mammal like qualities. One has what looks like front paws.

>The Cleo Parker Robinson Dance school served as both the sponsor and venue for the debate, which was facilitated by the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s Office.
>Denver Clerk Paul López ... said his office reviews and approves applications for venues looking to host debates. Cleo Parker Robinson Dance’s application, obtained by The Denver Post through a public records request, indicated that its “theater is ADA accessible via our back entrance.”
I really don't know where folks are coming up with this shit. The venue is the one who applied to host the debate. The clerk didn't do due diligence in actually figuring out the application was appropriate, but you'd also figure the venue would actually try to understand who the hell is coming if they're the ones applying to host it.

Which is hilarious because he's the incumbent. They straight up didn't seem to care who was coming.

Sounds like he disrupted a gang of british army crooks, but those crooks were the only people with guns. Bad move.

Turning hair into soap removes the clog. There only long term solution is to remove the source of hair, and that's usually illegal.

It's almost like it's in the name that they need to protest everything.
Edit: On a more serious note, what you're describing is general ingroup/outgroup mechanics. If too many people conform to the ingroup, they need to create new rules in order to maintain an outgroup.

If you're going through the trouble it'd just make more sense to go ahead and build a magnox reactor like North Korea did. Not like the plans are secret.

Oh it would allow you to breed plutonium. It would also allow you to fission some of the blanket. That might not be the best idea for your magnets behind the blanket.

Ones an island, so the walk might be perilous. Pretty big trek from Anatolia to Iraq as well.
