Guess the cheque cleared

So... if anon took those papers and just taped them back together, would they still be legally binding if submitted?

Would this depend on the jurisdiction/country? I've never thought seriously about whether tearing up signed legal documents constitutes a refutation after they're signed. (a pile of torn-up papers doesn't carry any proof of which, either or both, parties agreed to the tearing-up). And thankfully never been in a situation where this question would arise. Also assuming 'tearing up' wasn't enough to prevent taping them back into a mostly-complete state.

Americans rejected The Crown, but missed vapid royalty so much, they had to invent their own.

Individual does this -- CFPA indictment instantly.

MegaCorp does this -- Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they're doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)

It's good to be paranoid, but for years I have had periodic sign-ups for lists I never wanted, services I never asked for, medical appointments and plane ticket reservations(!) I didn't make ... you name it.

All because I was an early gmail invitee, so my account is just 'firstinitiallastname@gmail.com' (with no '123', or other decorations) -- I was the FIRST. And I'll be damned if I give it up!

So, so many people with my first initial and surname forget to add whatever crap they added to their signup after they must have gotten the error message at sign-up that told them 'sorry, but firstname.lastname@gmail.com is already taken' and they then forget whatever they added, and keep using my email address when they register for whatever crap they do. So bloody annoying.

I've taken to just logging into the numerous sites they helpfully send me registration links for, and if there's a profile section I may (if I'm feeling cranky) set their profile photo and bio to unsavoury things, before locking the account. If I'm not feeling cranky I just unsubscribe/delete the account.

So that's what inspired Giger's Alien mouth-in-mouth horror then? Yikes.

I cannot imagine not being able to inspect my navel, at the end of a hard day, and have confirmation of what colour of shirt I wore.

The lint collected reminds me of the way of the universe; everything slowly sheds its substance and shuffles imperceptibly towards oblivion.

The molecule detected is called dimethyl sulphide (DMS). According to the article, on Earth, at least, this is only produced by life. (The AutoTL:DR bot's summary missed that bit.)
