- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Sure. Can you provide sufficient liquid F~2~ whose gaseous form can achieve 500 ppm over a diameter of 50 kilometers? A sufficiently powerful smoke machine which can achieve this concentration over that area using the provided F~2~ is also required. These materials must be transferred to the center of Moscow undetected.
Think you can whip up that grocery list for me? Or do you have an excuse?
You've got the credit card, get cracking!
I think we're done here.
The F~2~ sellers will have me killed if I try to buy it from them, since I'm on the US government's kill list. It would be impossible to use my credit card, since the government would drop a bomb on my head as soon as I go to collect the goods.
Got it. You're so dangerous you're on the government's kill list, but too moral to do a little credit card fraud.
John Brown was a wanted man when he went to Harper's Ferry.
Ol' John Brown didn't envelop the entire Eastern Seaboard with toxic psychedelic gas, putting him on said kill list, though.
No one in history has needed to touch grass as hard as you do.
Are you sure?
I'm sure you've gone from mildly amusing to boring and borderline creepy.
Isn't that a contradiction? Creepy is undetectable with sufficient boredom.
I bow to your expertise.
I'm sure you know more about being creepy and being a bore than anyone else.
