That's kind of an absurd statement, isn't it?

If you murder me by shooting me in the back of the head while I'm not looking, that's not torture.

Obviously I still don't want you to kill me, but... It's still not torture, it's a different thing, and we have different words for that... it's murder, or killing, or slaughter.

Please keep in mind I'm not making a moral or ethical judgement, but a definitional one. Torture is a different thing.

If, as you say

there's no way to avoid torturing an animal while taking their life when they don't want to die.

How are you defining torture?

Did I torture my dearly beloved pets when they had cancer or infections bad enough that I had to have them put down? No! What an odd and cruel thing that would be for me to say!

But they still didn't want to die, and I didn't want them to either. That's not torture.

A warning first would have been nice before that ended up on my phone in the work lunch room :/

I'd try the egg pizza. Olives with the pits is a choking hazard, because people won't necessarily be expecting it.

And just to add a little extra confusion (for that sweet and smoky flavour obviously)... Mbin is a fork of Kbin.

Mice is animal

Mouses is computer/human interface device.

"Why aren't girls interested in guys like me?! 😭"

Because you're weird and overbearing.

Guess I'm the 0.1%

Absolutely. There are certain niches where you really do need to focus on portability.

But like you said, a bike like this is extremely expensive, that's because a ton of budget is going into trying to counteract the main downsides of a folding bicycle: They're clunky, they're inconvenient, and they're heavy.

But for anyone who is able to sacrifice the floor/wall space, a standard bicycle will be lighter, and specc'd with higher quality components at the same price point.
