Once again, this ball is entirely within China's court. If they don't invade Taiwan, then there won't be a war. If they do invade Taiwan, then there's gonna be a fucking war.

I'll bet the author doesn't know how many operating nuclear reactor there are in very close proximity to quite a few major US cities, and there has not been a nuclear incident in over 60 years of the US NNPP.

Strictly speaking, the losing bidder offered more cash, but the victims families offered concessions in the amount of damages they'd seek as part of The Onions offer, which would bring the total value of The Onions offer to higher, and that's why they won.

Hopefully it would've just been "[full name], an [occupation] from [city, state]", but I suppose we never know

South Park s9e12 actually does a decent job rounding up and illustrating their beliefs. Might be worth a watch, if you don't mind South Park.

It's real. The Onion won the auction for "Jones’s company’s intellectual property, such as its website, customer lists, inventory and certain social media accounts, and the production equipment" (from The Guardian), and worked with the Sandy Hook families to make the finance for the bid work (I think the families reduced their awarded damages to allow the Onions bid to be viable).

Jesus christ you know it's bad when you agree with John fucking Bolton. Those two are, at best, treasonous Russian assets.

Less likely, as those aren't piston engines. This is the kind of fuel used by single engine Cessnas and the like. Nearly all propeller/turboprop planes, as opposed to jets.

If it was meant in a "lay off me" or "get off my back" way, I think "stop busting my balls" would be an accurate translation

Could that be translated more colloquially to "stop busting my balls"?

In the offhand chance this is a genuine question, it's because a large number of people in this country are essentially traumatized at the prospect of a pedophile, convicted felon, rapist, fascist in the white house, and schools know that students who are so preoccupied won't be able to learn/pay attention in class, so they give them a break to allow time to focuse on processing the trauma from the election.

In contrast to the rest of the commenters, I don't think so. I've got the Z Flip 5, and the battery life isn't great, after a year of use, the hinge is a little looser than I'd like, and the phone is just slightly narrower than the last couple phones I've owned, which means I've somehow not managed to adjust to the keyboard size after a year, and my typing accuracy is awful.

 

There are so many gems in this one, least of which are the bathrooms.
