He was a secret Marxist all along. The Daily Mail was right!

Just nationalise it already.

My advice is to try it out at an indoor gym first! And also never to free solo anything! Ever!

Yeah, free soloing is the one. I climb all the time, totally happy doing anything at any height with a rope but without one? Nah.

Here are the Encyclopedia Britannica pages for Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney, which have the same dates of birth for both individuals as cited above.

Yes.

Dick Cheney is 83 (born 1941).

Liz Cheney is 58 (born 1966).

83-58=25

So Dick Cheney was 25 when his daughter was born. This seems pretty normal and certainly not impossible.

There used to be a very similar shop near me that was actually just a front for selling cannabis.

Do you mean where people use it as an adjective? E.g., ‘This house is very aesthetic’ where they mean ‘beautiful’?

How deep does the rabbit hole go?

Oddly, it’s also true of me and my wife. Maybe I was on to something?

I thought that women drank tea and men drank coffee, because that was what my mum and dad did.

Whether or not George Mallory summitted Everest.

Mallory was a great climber. People who knew him think he had the ability. Another member of his expedition saw Mallory and his partner, Andrew Irvine, close to the summit, but not close enough to be certain whether or not they made it.

Neither man returned from the mountain. Mallory’s body was later found, many decades after he died. but Irvine was never seen again, dead or alive.

There are various other bits of circumstantial evidence, but the fact is we’ll simply never know for sure. I like to think they made it.

Try to learn Russian really quickly.

You raise a fair point: what exactly is a zombie? To me, a zombie is not a sapient thing, so if it remembers its previous sapience, it’s not a zombie. But zombies aren’t real, which makes it difficult to define them precisely.

No. Jesus had his intellect and personality intact, which zombies do not.

NB: I’m taking the Gospels as gospel, here. I do not think the man himself rose from the dead.

You may well be right and that’s why it’s vital not to be complacent. Donate, volunteer, vote. Get out there and make a Harris win happen!

That may explain why they didn’t abolish slavery, but does not justify the fact that they themselves owned slaves.

Having strong morals is mutually exclusive with compromising your morals to enrich yourself, which we’ve established is something they did.

True, but one that conveniently allowed them to do what they were already doing anyway. As I say: not titans of moral probity.

Personal power, leadership abilities, integrity and morals were much stronger with these people, and in their times in general.

There’s just no reason at all to think this. Most obviously, people who signed their names to the idea ‘all men were created equal’ while themselves owning slaves quite obviously did not possess a high degree of moral integrity.
