That might be a bit tricky - perhaps he could simply distance himself from both dry land and boats, by “Maxwelling” himself into the sea?

Sadly there currently only appears to be purchasable closed source blueprints, or fairly vague historical instructions.

Lemmy users say a vast citizen-powered guillotine system can ensure ‘billionaires will be on their best behavior’

I did find that a little odd, I wondered if he had an elaborate z-shaped cigarette-holder, or as you say, had a smoking exhaust installed in his chin/cheek.

“To meditate secretly whilst going about your day, breathe slowly in through your pipe and then slowly out through your cigarette”

It is often traditionally considered to be an achievement in Britain, yes.

Ideally you don’t get drunk though - you should be able to drink as much alcohol as possible, whilst showing as few effects as possible, for some reason. If you become drunk after too few alcoholic drinks, you “can’t handle your drink” and you are a “lightweight”. These are both negative characteristics in a person.

I’m not saying I necessarily agree with this, I’m just saying it exists :)

Yeah, I’d like to actually know, rather than just guess. I always felt it might merely be a case of “it’s the sort of thing liked by the type of people we don’t like”.

To be fair, I’m doing exactly the same thing back at them.

“Shock and surprise as Tory riots, with people chanting Tory slogans as they smashed up the city centre, found to be connected to Tories”

It might take quite a bit of wondering to work out specifically who, but I think you can gather the general gist of whose agenda they’re promoting without too much wondering :)

They turn the fog up so they can lower the draw distance whilst they update all the assets for the new 2025 versions.

From the mid to late 1990s, definitely. Not so convinced after that.

With most selection boxes, you get a shit one that nobody likes, but Fox’s Classic Biscuit Selection is “all killer, no filler”.

Honourable 2nd place to “Jacob’s Biscuits for Cheese”.

You’re right actually - I guess all those Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg types all have about 12 kids each, so it’s likely an even smaller number.

I suppose other than the odd scholarship/inheritance bits here and there, I guess it must generally be somewhere between the top 1% and top 5% using the private schools system.

Well, the article says “approximately 93%” go to proper schools, so I suppose it must be very slightly made up?

I also made a slight assumption that 100% minus 93% would leave us with 7% - but I didn’t go to Eton, so I assume my maths is likely incorrect.

Anyway, to be fair, I am making an assumption and I’m missing out on those who are home schooled, as well as those in referral units or special education or those who don’t go to school at all.

As a side note - do home schoolers and non-schoolers recieve special tax breaks for “not using up a state school space”?

Anyway, it can’t affect the numbers that much, as it still shows as “7% actually use these schools” on the government’s own website:

gov.uk - Elitism in Britain (2019): “Just 7% of British people are privately educated”

Note that this is your Tory friends from 5 years ago - it’s not the current Labour Government who are proposing removing the tax breaks on private schools.

I mean the richest 7% of people in the country, who according to the article, actually use these special schools.

That would be ideal, yes :)

A tiny amount of tax on the luxury “schools” for the ultra-rich can be used to invest in actual real schools for the education of the entire country.

There’s a short summary in this article:
IFL Science: Pavlov’s Dog Experiment Was Much More Disturbing Than You Think

I’m not certain on the accuracy of everything it’s saying, but other sources at least seem to agree he was originally studying digestion, and cut holes in the dogs’ throats so the food would fall out when they ate.

Thank you, and I shall do so. Very much appreciated :)

Is it worse that I still call them “telephones”?

p.s. I am British, which gives me some allowance for using strange, historical words.
