  1. False. "The Coriolis effect is so small that it plays no role in determining the direction in which water rotates as it exits from a draining sink or toilet. The Coriolis effect produces a measurable influence over huge distances and long periods of time, neither of which applies to the typical terrestrial bathroom. " https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/coriolis-effect/ Also, they got the direction wrong.
  2. quoting someone else's tired old trope of flawed logic. The reality is like the "fire triangle" we are taught in fire safety courses: to start a fire you need fuel, oxidizer and heat. Remove any one and the result is no fire. With firearms there's also a triangle: the weapon, the person firing it, and the person getting shot. Same logic applies, but ease of removal is different.
  3. veni, vidi, vici? or perhaps vidi, veni, vicerunt would be nearer the mark?

  11. and even in the "straight" ones you can often guess which performer the cameraman was really interested in 🤩.
  12. I've always thought of it more as a "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" kind of place. And still those voices are calling from far away Wake me up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say Welcome to the bars of Boyztown Pattaya Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room in the bars of Boyztown Pattaya Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here ... Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before "Relax," said the night man "We are programmed to receive You can check-out any time you like But you can never leave!"
  13. I wonder how many people could name the musical it's from, or who wrote it? (If it comes to that, I wonder how many people even know it's from a musical )

  15. I hope you mean B1,500 🙂
