If you are sufficiently paranoid about having to destroy the notebook, tissue paper and water soluble ink go a long way to making it easier. I made about a dozen for a murder mystery party about two years ago and still have one lying around

This is in the UK, but is vaguely applicaple to the situation you describe, so take with a pinch of salt. A friend of mine had an accident about two months back and is unable to work. Despite having been certified as such by at least two ps

The message(s) are the point. Misgendering people isn't nice, especially after someone has specifically laid out how they wish to be addressed. But yes, I will conceed I have been a little spammy and probably could have gone about it w

Interestingly, I've found that a significant part of my own addiction is behavioural. If (for whatever reason), I know I'm not going to be able to drink tea for a few days, as long as I have something to replace it with that has a

Lab grown fur is an interesting prospect. We've got (almost) industrial scale lab-grown skin and a quick check with a friend who knows much more than I informs me that she can't think of any barriers to growing fur this way. You c

A better analogy might be someone selling armour piercing rounds marketed as "cop killers", espousing their efficiency at getting through standard issue police vests, with a tiny disclaimer that you shouldn't kill cops.

Of course not. But our politicians tend to have all the charisma of a pile of gravel, as opposed to our royals who are usually pretty decent orators.
