How much d'you want to bet that Putin was waxing lyrical to him about Hannibal (the Carthaginian General and great military tactician), and the ignorant fuckwit assumed he meant Lecter?

Edit: typo.

OP is clearly a troll:

In fact, trolls traditionally count like this: one, two, three . . . many, and people assume this means they can have no grasp of higher numbers.
They don't realize that many can be a number. As in: one, two,three, many, many-one, many-two, many-three, many many, many-many-one, many-many-two, many-many-three, many many many, many-many-many-one, many-many-many-two, many-many-many-three, LOTS.
Terry Pratchett - Men at Arms

Before he moved to the BBC, Graham Norton had a late 90s/early 2000s show on Channel 4, which (amongst other things) featured random shit off the internet.

I swear, half the weird internet stuff would be prefaced with 'So, Carrie Fisher sent me this email- '.

"...unfortunately, they can no longer move anything else."

'Hmmm - what can I bring in return? No cool shiny things around here- ooh! Gizzard stones! They're useful! Hope this one's big enough 'cause they're much bigger than I am!'

I've been working in Primary School IT for the past 20 years - I can guarantee that IT (if they were asked at all) told the school how many PCs would fit, and were ignored because they 'need enough for a full class!'

It's infuriating.

Gran Theft Auto - same as the original, but you play as an 86 year old woman named Mildred.

Andy Crush - dating sim.

I mean, I'm not saying I like it, but it probably looks much less garish IRL.
The estate agents have clearly taken the photos on an overcast day, then (with their usual cack-handed approach to photography) fucked with the sliders in Photoshop until the pictures look less dingy.

Not sure I'd categorise us as a civilised country at the moment, but in the UK it's a full week before your employer can ask for a note: https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave

I can't find the original study, but according to this NPR article they were all scheduled for surgical abortions.

The abortion pill is a two pill process - the study was to find out if progesterone injections could reverse the effects of taking the first pill only.

It depends - are you Inigo Montoya?

It's not my fault! The bigger boys tricked me!

Half-Lie - conman simulator

That's certainly one way to climb the corporate ladder...

We've only had it over here for about 10 years or so - Amazon started it and all the other companies jumped on the bandwagon.

My guess (assuming he has any sort of plan at all)? Tax farming, Roman style.

Private tax collection companies bid for government contracts based on how much money they think they can extract from the populace. Any amount they manage to collect above that they keep as profit.

On around the 12th October last year, there was an interview on the BBC World Service with former Israeli PM Ehud Barak.
He confidently estimated it would take 'about 4 weeks' to completely destroy Hamas.

For people like this, money isn't a resource that they need to survive, it's just a way of keeping score.

It's like playing an idle game - you tweak the various settings and resources to get the most gain, and your reward is watching the numbers go up.

They're no more connected to the numbers themselves than someone sitting at their computer playing Realm Grinder.

I got the Oasis/roll with it bit (probably because I'm old), but I had to look up what oasis soup was.

OASIS (Oldways Africana Soup In Stories) is a celebratory anthology of culturally-informed soup recipes that seeks to foster and expand conversation about nutritional knowledge and Black women’s wellness.

Edit: Though the book may have been based on the original joke, come to think of it...

For Enterprise/Education you can disable the 'recommended' section entirely via group policy. Doesn't work for Pro/Home versions though, from what I remember.
