I once saw a man in Delhi with a literal cloud of flies permanently stationed above his head. I thought that was just a cartoon trope but I realised then that it was an actual thing.
Never been to India, huh?
27 Harley Street is now an ear, nose and throat specialist with a reputation for treating people who can’t burp.
It’s hard to read the Torah without understanding that Judaism emerged from a sea of competing religions.
Moses only went up a mountain for five minutes and the Israelites started worshipping a golden calf. And the first three commandments he came down the mountain with are basically a ban on polytheism.

Mehta has been described as an avid fan of hip hop music. In a 2015 copyright case regarding the similarity of two songs, Mehta noted in a footnote that he was "not a ‘lay person’ when it comes to hip-hop music and lyrics,” and noted he has "listened to hip hop for decades". American rappers Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye West and Canadian rapper Drake are among his favorite artists.

Given that young people have a much bigger stake in the future, we should probably do the opposite — let kids vote and disenfranchise the elderly.
We’ve got enough to make sausages with it.
The Home Assistant community is very responsive and can help with this kind of stuff if you can't find the answers you need just from searching around.
It's even worse than that. X is used so widely in trademarks that it's guaranteed to attract lawsuits. Facebook had to settle several claims over the change to Meta, and the use of X is a much bigger problem than that. And Musk is so dumb that he'll probably try to fight them and end up paying a fortune in legal fees anyway.
