I’d be more worried about rare earth metals like ruthenium or iridium. They’re used in many industries, not least in chlor-alkali electrolysis which is often used for water purification.

Detectorists. A delightfully quaint and funny series.

Doing anything with someone who clearly isn’t enjoying it generally won’t work.

No, they wouldn’t. Nobody wants their cat to die through being dumb.

I’m not sure what you expect here. It’s Ike asking why you’re not singing two songs at the same time. They are individual issues and news moves on to other individual issues.

Nobody cares where your hat is placed. Nobody is going to see it on your handlebars and think ‘what a twat. I’m going to tell everyone how big a twat this guy right here is. Unbelievable! The audacity.’

You’ll be just fine.

The earliest known use of “thank you kindly” is from a 16th-century theatrical work. It was an elaboration of the phrase “I think of you kindly” before it was shortened to “I thank you”.

That’s teeth though. The corn husk works its way right down to the root of your tongue, in a convenient cleft where it meets the throat. If you know, you know.

Teeth, yes. All of those. This is more when the husk gets stuck down at the root of your tongue, down behind your molars.

I have one playlist with all my music. Every song is there because I like it, no matter the genre, tempo, tone, or mood.

Depends on context, but it usually means give it your absolute best, ‘don’t leave anything out there’.

It can simply mean don’t slack.

I don’t think it usually means ‘do this to the obvious detriment of your health’.

What kind of machine never lies?
