Found on 4chan:
The British soldier has discovered a new intoxicant. In the October number of the Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps appears a most interesting paper, in which the author details the results of inquiries regarding the consumption of cordite by soldiers. Cordite, the new substitute for gunpowder, is composed of 58 parts of nitroglycerin, 37 parts of guncotton, and 5 parts of mineral jelly. A Lee–Metford cartridge contains sixty “strands” of this material. It has “a sweet, pleasant, pungent taste and is only slightly soluble in the mouth”. It causes “throbbing, headache, flushing of the face, visible carotid pulsation, giddiness, and disordered action of the heart”. The author sucked a fourth of a strand for two minutes and experienced the most racking splitting headache he ever felt in his life, together with hammering and ringing noises in his ears. The headache lasted quite thirty-six hours.…

I) Some kind of technical solution. Exo-skeletons, shopping-as-a-service, whatever.
Relying on technological solutions will not always work.
Why not? Putting a request for grocery pickup with reimbursement on Instacart or Craigslist or the public library's bulletin board or whatever seems very simple and reliable. I assume it's backed up with small-claims court.

My family had a PlayStation 1, a GameCube, and a PlayStation 3.

There is a pie chart of government expenses at the end of the Form 1040 instructions.
A Sopwith Camel fits in a garage and can take off and land on a piece of uneven land 300 m long. And that's with 1910s technology.
See also the autogyro/gyroplane/gyrocopter, developed in the 1920s, which can use 75-foot (25-meter) runways.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics provides some "jobs in field of degree" statistics here. For example, among workers with psychology degrees, the top occupation groups are "management" (15 %), "community and social service" (13 %), "educational instruction and library" (13 %), "healthcare practitioners and technicians" (11 %), and "office and administrative support" (9 %).

I can very easily imagine a situation where the user wants to achieve the specific zoom level that will perfectly frame a certain set of items in a CAD workspace, but is too lazy to open the marquee-zoom tool to do so. In such a situation, achieving an irregular 93.75-percent zoom level by zooming in and out several times with the mousewheel perfectly serves the user's desire.
I think it depends on the terms listed in the fine print of the coupon.
-
If this was your first time using this trick at this store, then I see no problem. Otherwise:
-
If the terms say that the offer is valid only once per person, then you have committed fraud. Otherwise:
-
If the terms have no such clause, or no terms were presented to you at all, then it is reasonable for you to consider the offer valid once per email subscription, and I see no problem (since you did subscribe with a valid email).

You can have a situation where the Court splits 4–2–3 or the like on a given case, where the 4 and the 2 may agree on the outcome of a case (and the 3 disagrees), but they do not agree on a reasoning. The case would be resolved as a 6–3 decision as to the outcome, but with no reasoning, as no opinion carried a majority.
When a fragmented Court decides a case and no single rationale explaining the result enjoys the assent of five Justices, "the holding of the Court may be viewed as that position taken by the Members who concurred in the judgment on the narrowest grounds".
That generally would be the two-justice opinion.

With the "analysis" part, I'm intentionally excluding Reuters/AP; analysis just isn't what they're trying to do.
Technically, Reuters does have an opinion section, Breakingviews.

IIRC, black Aragorn was one of the most egregious instances. I think there have also been some complaints about ugly (overweight) women in the art, but I don't recall any specific examples.

I used the Metro only to show that the idea was realistically possible to execute (e. g., on a new Mirage). I wasn't suggesting that the Metro was comparable to a new Mirage.

Zero to sixty in 18 seconds sounds inadequate for merging onto a highway with posted speed of 65 mi/h. Even the unmodified Mirage can manage an 11-second time.
Also, it's my understanding that obtaining parts for imported cars often is difficult and expensive. That goes double for imported cars that are 25 years old.
As a person who regularly calls other people "murder victims" as a muttered insult despite not being particularly homicidal, I would lean toward option 1.
