That was Snagglepuss catchphrase. The Pink Panther didn't speak. Yes, I am that old - and that pedantic!

I'll start by saying that I am very proud that my country (UK) provides sanctuary for genuine asylum seekers, and gives aid to people/countries in distress. At heart I am a Liberal/Socialist, but I have to credit the Tory party for a perfectly reasonable and workable solution, which was to send asylum seekers immediately to a safe country (Rwanda) while their applications were assessed. Safety and a reasonable standard of accommodation guaranteed. Pass the asylum test, get accommodated in the UK, fail the test, go back to their own country. This,as far as I can tell, is similar to the Australian system. The arrangement would benefit Rwanda (income, employment), and discourage false claims of asylum, whilst not compromising the safety of genuine applicants. I can not understand why anyone could object to this arrangement, however the new Labour government cancelled it as one of their first measures.

Some really heartless people on this board. Why not just skip to the next topic if you don't have anything to contribute.

Is OP fleeing a war zone?

It happens when you highlight something from within a quote that another member has quoted. If you go back to the original post (in this case from KhunLA) and highlight it there, it will be attributed correctly.

Pedant alert! For an object in free fall, m (mass) has no relevance - Galileo. But I think your guesstimate of 30mph could be pretty close. vf = g * t would be the formula, but we can't calculate the time without knowing the height. Guessing a 15m fall (1.75 seconds) would give 17m/s or 38mph.

Was that a 100% turnout?

It's a very sad situation, but I think that euthanasia is your only reasonable option. From remarks here, it seems that most vets won't do it, but some posters have found vets who are willing. Perhaps if you give your location someone might be able to recommend a sympathetic vet.

"There is no legal obligation for the King or Prince of Wales to pay tax. Since 1993, however, the Monarch and her or his heir has voluntarily paid income tax on income from the Duchies and earnings from personal investments but not on the Sovereign Grant. Capital gains and inheritance tax are also paid in certain circumstances. Similarly, local taxation is paid on a voluntary basis. This is set out in a non-statutory Memorandum of Understanding between the Treasury and the Royal Household." https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9807/

The article states that the ambulance was on its way to pick up the patient, so that 60 seconds of receiving no medical attention may have been crucial.

That's a lot more than $100,000

Are heat reflective paints available here?

Hearing is one of the senses. A hearing is a pretrial court session.

Dam! *Bieber

The kid is wrong, no argument, the mother (parents) neglectful too (again, no argument). But, if it is true that the police officer punched the kid several times, that is a blatant abuse of authority.

A Yorkshire man rushes his dog to the vet. "It's an emergency, my dog has swallowed a condom". The vet says "Leave him with me, I'll operate immediately". Two minutes later the Yorkshire man bursts into the operating room and shouts ... "Cancel the operation, I've just found another condom in my wallet".

True, the boy definitely committed traffic violations. But, "the officer chased him down and punched him 4 or 5 times". That is way beyond the scope of his authority.
