Wasn’t it already decided that police are not obliged to help anyone? How can this go anywhere?

Let’s see … seven letters, starts with an F, ends with a T …
Fuckwit?
Monk doesn’t go that far, and it’s still obvious. “Here’s a joke before commercial!” Pause. Fade back in to a new scene. Pause. “Here’s a little cliffhanger before commercial!” Pause. Fade back in to a new scene. Pause.
I’ve been watching Monk recently, without ads, and it’s very interesting how television shows used to be written and edited for commercials. It’s dead obvious where the commercials used to be, and even that detracts from the overall experience.
Taking up two parking spaces? Prison is good enough.
Life without parole.
From the little we know about Frisian, yes, very similar.
Those are all arguably fair - but they seem to apply to national military judicial systems as opposed to civilian criminal courts.
Edit: And when it comes to the United States, those offenses would be federal ones, found in the Federal Death Penalty Act of 1994 - an Act which I still think goes too far. Above, I used the word “state” in its general sense. US States have no purpose applying capital punishment beyond revenge.
The only purpose executions serve is revenge, and the state should not be in the revenge business.
It’s not a bribe, silly. It’s selling legislation.
It starts with proto-Indo-European (PIE), and is a fantastic mixture of history and language and how the two intersect. And no ads!
Of course, you know the difference between a Garbanzo bean and a chickpea.
I forget the numbers I’ve heard, but that sounds right. It’s also important to remember that in the 11th century, English vocabulary was much smaller than it is today, so those 10,000 words were a much larger proportion of the English language than might be apparent.
Another thing to know is that English was heavily influenced by Old Norse prior to the Norman Conquest, too. The mixing of those three languages, each having some differences in grammar and inflection, ended with English dropping a lot of inflections and turning to word position in a sentence to determine what’s subject, object, verb.
I did motorcycle safety crew for a charity bicycle ride last weekend. It’s one of the best things I have ever done.
If you make hummus in a mailbox, and eat it later, you are eating it posthummusly.
This is exactly it, and it has to do with the Norman Conquest. After 1066, French was the language of the hurling ruling class and English was for commoners. As such, a lot of French words got borrowed into English, and they usually carried a higher status. Cow vs beef, deer vs venison, that kind of thing.
I’m gonna go with absolutely.
