Wait until you hear the real shenanigans. Remember the cards against humanity fricassee with elon musk's company down near the border? It's not all that uncommon. I lived in an area with less people than cows for a few years, and there was a famous (true) local legend of a construction company that had put heavy machinery (I think some sort of road roller) in front of a farmer's front land/gate, then refused to move it when asked. The farmer stacked about 30-50 round bales of hay around said piece of equipment, and told them just what would happen if they tried to 'steal' his hay. 6 years later, that equipment was still sitting there, and I'm betting it still is.

I think it was something like $30 out of my brother's wallet. Boy did I get in trouble for that one. In my defense, he had just left it lying on top of his bed's side table! You can't expect a five year old to not steal $30 out of a wallet just lying on a side table in a room with a closed door!

I don't even know what I spent it on, thinking back. Probably those little styrofoam airplanes you could put together from the little store out in the country that was nearby.

People revel in their stupidity. I have to hold conversations with several family members regularly where my jaw hits the floor as they refuse to put even the slightest thought into the things they do everyday. Just today I tried to explain the simplest of ideas of a browser and they won't even listen.

STAR, or even the simple approval voting? They fall into the 'but one vote!' statement so fast that it leaves a crater.

Does it fall somewhere between a stutter and the 'ke ke ke' of my manga reading youth?

Question for the doctor, especially due to your location of work. Have you ever been approached for shadowing? How would you prefer to be asked?

I suppose it's possible. The amount of absorption is going to depend on what specifically is 'in there.' Most vitamins (for example) have been separated from their pre-eaten location/environment by the physical mastication, churning, and compression; and by chemical means by chelation agents, acid/enzyme digestion, or other molecules that break apart lipid blobs and such; and even more importantly, are done in areas designed for absorption with lots of villi to give a million times the surface area. Alcohol, the oft-given example of a substance absorbed by the rear part of your gastric tube, is a fairly 'ready to be absorbed' compound. Suppositories are also similarly in a state that makes their active agents easily absorbed.

A whole bananal probably is going to be absorbed like a rock through a 5mm sieve. The bacteria in the rectum might start the process, breaking down the cells and matrix of the banana into readily absorbed compounds, but if you've ever seen an organic object like an apple or banana rot outside somewhere, it is a very slow process. You'll be much more likely to suffer some form of infection/sepsis from the bloom of bacteria (or the smaller chance of a fungal infection) long before enough of the banana is absorbed.

All of this is even more true if the OP was shoving them still in their skins in. The bananal skin will definitely be a very slow degradation, and absorb like an intelligent thought into the president elect.

2 people trying to stab you, not greater than 1

From the Hollywoo rule of attackering protagonists, more attackers mean more ways to foil them by misdirection and mutual banging each other, therefore 2>1.

I'll do you better, and someone out there may know it's me.

I once was in a river,

downstream from many givers,

and then began to shiver...

I felt a slide go past my liver.

There I was alone;

the house far, and across stone;

and my south began to groan;

from my lips I droned, "oh no."

I tried to climb the rise,`

while tightly clamping thighs,

but as I soon surmised,

I couldn't hold the surprise.

All the river floaters watched,

as my privacy I botched,

there right upon the stony swatch,

what horror flowed right from my crotch.

Worst experience of my shitting life was when I didn't defecate prior to the monthly jog. Luckily I could squeeze through the fence of the golf club I was near, and it was early enough nobody was around to 'report' me, AND they had the course's bathroom door unlocked. Now I just exercise at home where there's a bathroom within safe jumping distance.

That's the best answer.

spoilerI feel you've got a good personal reason behind it that most don't. I haven't seen anything from you about your health recently, so I hope you're doing great, and that the move to the UK goes swell!

I mean, I get it, but this is the same logic that is sometimes used for school shootings. It's abhorrent to ignore a large increase compared to other places just because it is still a small chance, and therefore do nothing.
