On the upside, it could also be used to finally murder Tuvix

Yeah. I grew up near one of Germany's largest open-pit lignite mines. Had a tour of the mighty Bagger 293 as a kid and was allowed to touch some coal.

Are we sure we're doing Ea-Nasir justice? Perhaps he was a perfectly fine copper salesman but had a weird and totally unhinged customer review (or complaint) he found funny displayed in his home.

If the market clears the price is equal to the marginal utility of getting licked

Back in the day you could afford both med school and running an elaborate murder hotel with some gruesome custom made contraptions. Now you can't even afford a simple murder house. What has come of this country.

With my first prepaid phone in Germany texts did cost 0.49 € per text. So I did not use them super often. Years later around 2011 that price had decreased to 0.15€ and I was texting friends a lot during uni. Around the same time me and my friends got our first smartphones with contracts for 30-40€ per month that included a small bit of data (below 1Gb). Texts still did cost 0.15€, but the data for a WhatsApp message was in the low kilobytes. So a lot of people switched to WhatsApp

Lick the null and keep on with your life. Lick the phase and suffer. Lick two phases and die.

"Why does my cigarette I left on the lab table taste sweet?" is absolutely the question an inattentive scientists asked himself before he discovered an artificial sweetener.
