In the UK you can’t even buy that many at once 😆 without a prescription at least - paracetamol and ibuprofen are usually 16 per pack and they don’t let you buy more than one of each

Most of the major newspapers (this is from a UK perspective but I’d imagine they’re accessible in other places) have a live news page for big developing news stories - the BBC site is probably a good unbiased-ish one

I’m a big fan of -ussy as a suffix, especially when it’s wildly unsuitable for the purpose

It’s utterly ruined ales describing themselves as “citrussy”

(Not sure why but I can’t see or reply to y’all’s comments on Boost - but yes, it is Padley Gorge)

In that picture? It’s a bee, contemplating leaping from the edge and ending it all after reading that article

Hold the newsreader’s nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers.

The Dollop

Particularly the 1908 New York Paris Car Race episode

“Jean-Luc, what have you done?”

Oh I completely agree, just made me giggle

Scunthorpe

Just never go to Scunthorpe

Anyone who swims out to it gets immunity from elimination

Literally was telling my friends about the loopy water slide while we were looking at this

I get that, but also, it’s always seemed like the purpose of the ring is to signify the state of being, so engagement ring to show the state of being engaged, wedding ring shows the state of being married, or wed, I guess it works both ways

Not a strongly held view by any means 😆

French as well - le bague de mariage
