I’m ok with most British English spellings of words (ex. colour, tyre, draught), but my brain cannot accept “paycheque”

I still think about how my Cuban former coworker pronounced Popeye the Sailor as poh-pee-yay

I did consider that. Using standard notation, the lowercase “he” as opposed to a capital “He” would mean that Judah is the subject, not God. Nevertheless, the first sentence implies that even with God, Judah was incapable to affect those with iron chariots.

Referencing Judges 1:19 - “And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.”

And Chrysomallon squamiferum, “the only known extant animal that incorporates iron sulfide into its skeleton (into both its sclerites and into its shell as an exoskeleton)”.

The first 300 customers received this custom printed torso. Even though the queue to enter stretched to almost behind the building when I got in line and I had to wait 1 1/2 hours after the opening to even enter, I was still able to acquire one of these torsos. To celebrate the opening, there was a giant inflatable(?) minifigure in the parking lot, a live string band outside, free coffee and build-a-minifigure, displays by MichLUG, and Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader cosplayers. So glad to have a B&M nearby (but my wallet won’t be happy about it)

Wouldn’t be the first time. This was him on 9/11/2018 shortly before giving a memorial speech near where Flight 93 crashed:

Rice confirmed sentient and sapient. Vegans everywhere are in tears. International governments are drafting a Bill of Rice to ensure the rights of these beings. Churches are redirecting rice purchased for weddings to be given directly to their missionaries. Little do we know, the grains will soon band together and revolt, and the Rice War will be upon us.

I just had to deal with my new electric company telling me that I couldn’t log in because my email was not in their system, but I couldn’t create a new account with that email because it was already in use within their system.

If you’re going to rip top Reddit content, at least update the passage of time. That was an obvious tell of repost bots.

The correct answer is an unlucky sentient manhole cover, that incidentally was thinking “Oh no, not again”.

To clarify, the octopus mold itself isn’t particularly rare or expensive. The article refers to this individual piece as a “holy grail” because among the parts of the Cornwall flotsam, the “octopuses are considered the most prized finds as only 4,200 were onboard” in the lost cargo. The family in the article has been scavenging for years to collect the various parts, so this is something that is valuable to their subset of collectors but not really valuable to the typical Lego collector or fan.

This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!
