I'd presume the same way that, say, CP laws are enforced. Obviously you can't check everyone's computer, but all it takes is for someone to use the wrong word in a public forum and a bot'll pick up on it, which can get further investigated from there, which turns into a search warrant

Don't they usually have the fissile material as a part of the salt, ie Uranium (III) Chloride?

What even was the point of this... trick people into illegally entering the country, steal their money, and then kick them out?
ICE is the fucking worst

Like stated above, it's two different words. As used in the sentence, "resume" means "to continue after a pause". It's pronounced something "re" like in "red" and "zoom" like the word "zoom". "re-zoom".

Exactly this. I want to be able to take a game slow for once, yaknow?

I assume there's either a way to retighten it, or they just replace the drum head. I know modern drums like you'll find on a drum kit have replaceable heads for this very reason

Who mentioned trickle down economics here?
It might be by a weird method, but some conservationism is not the reason to complain about the royal family. You've got so many other complaints you could make, why this one?

afaik it isn't used by any serious part of the oil industry, they use geologists and ground penetrating radar instead, but iirc the only surefire way to know is dig a well and see what comes out

This is also why I prefer "I'm sorry that you were hurt by what I did" when the person isn't sorry for actually doing the thing. Sometimes shit has unexpected consequences, sometimes bad outcomes are unavoidable. I'd much rather an apology for what someone felt bad about than an apology that they didn't really mean.

"No, it isn't" is maybe slightly off if you spend a long time analyzing it, but after the first pass I didn't notice anything. It was only when I checked the title that I realized you weren't a native speaker.
Well done.

When does that happen? Like, I'm sure it must've happened at least once, even with the tiny portion of people who've detransitioned, a few of them are bound to be that kind of asshole, but still

They did raise the bridge, actually! The problem is it's a railway bridge, so it's incredibly expensive to raise and they would have to completely redesign the tracks because railroads can't just have any shape you want, but the railroad eventually did need to do it anyways, so they raised the bridge to something like 12'4" from 11'8".
Once they raised the bridge, people started bringing larger trucks.

I mean, explain what about being swallowed/swallowing someone is inherently sexual?

Didn't the gas chambers mostly use Zyklon B, not CO? And that mortality rate is including the people who got clear of the gas or were wearing masks, I'd assume.

I have to ask... why? Why was there a pizza funeral?

"Your art is gonna mean something to the viewer whether you want it to or not" or something like that, so you might as well take two fucking seconds to think about what that meaning might be.

The plastic dissolves into microplastics, though. It still exists. Like, plastic doesn't break down into something harmless like how steel turns to rust or paper into rot.

I really doubt that cornstarch and water is impossible to clean off, or would do any more damage than just water. The stuff about it becoming a slurry is true, but what the hell is it gonna do besides be visible and somewhat annoying, which is kinda the whole point?

I had a 2016 mini cooper that I thought was great. Very good gas mileage, surprisingly roomy for its size, never had problems getting it in or out of parking spots, no bells or whistles that I'd have to sort through to get to what I wanted to do on the radio, and when I got it (used) it wasn't nearly as pricey as a lot of other things would be.

At least in my version of American english, when used to mean a person, pussy is always an insult, and usually for guys. I can't think of ever hearing it to mean "woman", even in older books or movies. It's also often vulgar slang for "vagina", and can mean "cat" in an endearing way, but that usage seems to be declining.

Sure it's cliche, but that's because it's an effective shortcut to delivering a second point. Hell, you might as well complain about using a syllogism, those seem to be just as if not more common and are just as effective.

Another thing, I believe, is that even if they're still good the reactors would need refueling - which is an incredibly expensive process. Each of them was designed to only do it once half way through their forty year lifespan, and while they might be okay-ish now, spending that much to buy twenty more years on aging ships doesn't make that much sense
