It's just to illustrate how little effort it takes to actually read the thing instead of reacting to the headline with points the article already addresses.

That is also mentioned in the article about 12 seconds in:

politicians in Brussels recognising that it is Iranians who should choose their new leaders, and not the European Union's job to endorse specific contenders.

7 seconds into the article:

It features seven people, among them lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi and leaders of other parties and organisations opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran, such as the 7 Aban Front, the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, and the communist Tudeh Party.

Quite unlikely that it dips low enough that you can buy it for cheaper than what you would've paid had you just bought them last year.

I'll see about the compost lid some other day I guess.

With a miter/circular saw. I'm physically unable to cut straight with handtools. Even if I use a square to make guide lines around the entire piece.

You're free to make up your own mind. No need to go with whatever group you identify with tells you you're supposed to do or think.

Payload only accounts for a small part of the missile's cost. It's still going to be really expensive for both parties.

Locals don't seem to mind. At least this one. Just filming and unable to contain her laughter.

Most bridges here do, and often when one needs to be demolished and rebuilt, the military blows it up just for practice.

Edit: Source for the sceptics

The deep demolition, which became a central element in Finnish post-war demolition tactics, and especially the development of readiness to counter surprise attacks that emerged as a threat scenario in the 1960s, received significant support immediately after the wars. The decision concerning structural demolition preparations for bridges was made on January 15, 1946. These preparations meant building charge wells, charge chambers, charge pipes, and charge hooks. Authorities responsible for constructing bridges were required to include the aforementioned structures in their plans, which significantly improved the readiness to destroy the bridges.

If it was not possible to place the charge space inside the abutment or pier, charge hooks could be embedded in the supports during the casting phase, to which the charges could then be attached.

Oh, c'mon now. People are individuals. You're not really doing anyone any favors with these broad generalizations. Not all non-straight men are interesting, and not everyone who joined a fraternity is an NPC incapable of thinking for themselves. You can't just take a massive group of people like that and treat them as if they're all the same.

Which of those vehicles don't even need to exist?

This is genuinely so strange to me. I wouldn't generally mind that one has to somehow prove themselves to be able to join but just to humiliate other because it's something you had to endure few years earlier makes no sense to me and I don't want anything to do with a club that does that. I'm far more likely to find likeminded people within the group who chose not to join for the same reason.

Why would you assume they're all straight?

Not that people having already heard them has ever stopped me from re-telling them anyway.

I'm thinking stuff like a magnifying glass for roasting ants (don't actually do this) or those big hair-clip claws.
