Won't he need to resign first so Abbott can appoint a replacement who can vote for him? And so win or lose there's a special election for his Senate seat?

Reminds me of the scene in The Vor Game where Oser finds out that Stanis Metzov got cashiered out of the Barrayaran Imperial Service for brutality

Would anybody like to read one of my long threads about a 2.5bn year old rock, bacteria that could produce oxygen but not consume it, and tank production in wwii

Lots of great topping options, but my mom used to put onions, capsicum and cut-up Mafco pork sausages and that remains one of my favourite pizzas to this day

Pizza made from a pre-baked crust (Monginis?), store-bought pizza sauce (I like Fun Foods) and grated Amul cheese

California Burrito (India) - Wikipedia

There is also a "Mexican" food chain in India founded by a white American man named Bert. This seems to be a very popular thing for white people to do!

No, it's super easy - barely an inconvenience. Just have the NiedersΓ€chsiche Landtag declare him not to be a descendant of Sophia of Hanover and he won't be eligible in the first place

Sajid Nadiadwala: I'm tired of this Mumbai Mafia in Maruti Omni trope, Vishal. I hope there's some Matadors in our new movie.

Vishal Bharadwaj: There sure are, boss. I even gave the Dawood-analogue a real sexy Traje de Luces outfit like you asked

O'Romeo was an absolute trip, but whatever else you say you've got to appreciate how much fun Rahul Deshpande was having playing his role

The perfect place to have a singing road around Pune is the northbound exit to the Katraj tunnel that is super accident-prone because people speed there

Just set up rumbler strips that play 'Zingaat' if you driver over them at 40kmph and accidents will go way down

Like, I know that isn't the only issue or even the worst issue - but what do you mean "a collection of caliphates"

That is not a thing. It cannot be a thing. Why would you even say that unless you're extremely racist and wanted to deprecate something by implicitly associating it with brown people

We went to an Egyptian cafe where I found out she does not like mint tea. Then she asked me if Romania was a Balkan country (it was relevant to something she was dealing with at work at the time) and had to listen to me expound on the topic for 15 minutes
