If they raped your ancestors, which by the way I believe is disingenuous, as Im sure much mixing was consensual (not denying rape though), you are as much the offspring of the rapist as of the raped, you’d do well in starting to acknowledge that you are part of that which you hate.

If a black person has an offspring with a white one, the offspring has the same right to be callen white or black, even though society has’nt realized that yet.

Perfectly valid behaviour. He is the symbol of the state. People are pissed at the state for being slow to react. He is simply dealing with what comes with the job. If he doesn’t-t like it, he can always abdicate.

Hergé, the father of Tintin: “Next to him ( Franquin) I am but a poor illustrator”

Franquin took the comic to art level. The way he was able to draw movement has no equal, for example.

If you want to have your mind blown, read the “Ideés Noires”, an adult oriented strip, black on white, (hence the ñame), created while he was under severe depression. I think Goya would have approved.

Wouldn't a flatter form factor be better for rear mounting?

There are a few ruggedized phones out there. I bought some cheap Oukitel phones to use as an order pad in restaurant I used to run, because I was fed up with two waitresses dropping and breaking pads. When I sold the business, I kept one. I use it mainly in my boat, as GPS, plotter, speedometer, weather...

The thing drops, gets wet, handled without care.

These phones exist. They are not top performance dogs, but can be quite decent. Why arent they in the front line? Because demand

True, but with the insulation upgrade you'd basically end up with a DIY fridge that will probaby cost more, work less well and fail sooner.

Modern heat pumps, which use the same principle as A/C, can achieve 4 to 1 efficiency. Old fridges can be tanks, but are horribly inefficient. A new high efficiency unit could probably pay itself off in 2 3 years.

Israel has been weaponizing the guilt card since it’s inception.

Try octopuses. Essentially liquid. Think Odo from Startrek DS9. Watch them go from a beige cucumberish shape to a dark green/brown lump that looks like a jagged rock
