Perhaps you should grow some scales instead of the easily bruisable skin you are currently sporting.

A grass fed dragon might be your best bet for a somewhat comfortable pillow, since there'll be connective fibers with a somewhat pleasing smell in the mix. And maybe the dragons digestive system will be bad at absorbing and processing the stuff.

In case you missed it, some deductions can also be made from the flag in the parents handle.

"The children must not be shown the old gods" This is true only in the most direct way. There is the effigy known as the save icon, which is in very widespread use. Sometimes this leads to questions of "why does it look like that?" and answers of "clouds used to be plastic rectangles with a metal clicky frame you slotted into the big off-white box".

Fair point, apparently judgement, reaction time, concentration and control of vehicle can all be reduced.

Driver not maintaining proper distance is a conclusion as shared by the cyclist family from their privately hired traffic expert. 4 months after closing the case the police expert ruled the car driver not at fault. Both are circumspect.

In Belgium distance to the bicyclist when overtaking is codified as being 1m within a built up area and 1.5m outside built up areas. In the Netherlands this is just defined as overtaking needing to be done safely. I doubt this rule is observed and penalized much in Belgium. According to the hired expert if proper distance was observed in the overtaking the front wheel would still be clipped. No clue about how much cannabis use and effects on reaction time would have changed the situation.

A tragedy which is not clear cut. As such, should have been in the courts hands or handled within time limits by the police. Now the family is filled with uncertainty, kept out of the loop, denied closure, trying to pursue the matter themselves, and getting sued? That's a sad comment on Belgian policing if I've ever written one.

As I said above: You are downplaying a very real and sad state of affairs with "but money must be made". Sadly that is the state of things, but you put it as if this is as it should be.

You are excusing predatory business practices and growing income divide. You are apparently okay with businesses having so much political power they can dictate laws. Regulations and actual sanctions, anti monopoly laws and corruption, unions and raised minimum wages would severely lower the amount of money for investers across the board and the world would be a better place for it.

You present as something without any empathy. Someone laments the state of things and you say: good way to make a profit and draw investors! Tone deaf.

The people who did the work? Like the researchers at Novo that mainly just get salary? Let them have their salary, patents and scientific recognition. That is their credit.

Indeed Novo has built upon a lot of research and most of that is publicly funded. The price of the drug of course should recompense the organization for costs in research, trials and approval.

Still it is strange that costs to the consumer are 9 times higher on the US market than in Europe.

Also, it's strange that capitalisation is so free in making money that high prices are required to attract capital for helping and healing people. Human lives are worth less than profits. Gross amounts of money are making their way to sociopaths. You are downplaying a very real and sad state of affairs with "but money must be made". Sadly that is the state of things, but you put it as if this is as it should be.

Insulin was named as an example which you gloss over, where research wasn't needed and production could be optimized for larger profits, but prices were raised to the point of people cutting back on their intake. This has caused bodily damage, loss of eyesight, loss of life. This wasn't to the benefit of the working people, and to the deficit of patients.

Maybe some AI generated lighting

Sounds a lot like Roald Dahls story Esio Trot. Protagonist makes downstairs neighbors tortoise "grow" with a magical spell (tortoise backwards, replacing it with other tortoise) to win her heart. In the end, tortoise is too big so he "shrinks" it again so it'll fit back into her house.

Sounds more like the fee they directly use for lobbying to reduce oversight on ISPs.

More like pipe stems, no? As in the stems of pipes for smoking tobacco.

Very small nipple at best. Using wolfram alpha it gave me: 0.85 cm / (8.849 km / 12742.018 km) ≈ 12 m for length of nipple / (height of tallest mountain / diameter of earth). Mount Everest is to the diameter of earth what the average nipple is to a chest with a depth of 12 meter (40+ feet).

According to https://www.engineersedge.com/calculators/human_body_dimensions_typical_16424.htm the average chest depth is about 24 cm. Mount Everest is a nipple 1/50th of average size.
