My urologist told me that cystoscopy patients mostly fall into one of two groups: those who remember Lamaze training, and those who scream.

Fox looks rather more real. This plunges into the Uncanny Valley.

Yeah, that's a nice muskchete.

What's the file suffix on the images? I'm guessing .raw. That gets you absolute maximum possible quality at any given resolution, but eats space.

Ukraine can respond that they are not answerable to a mythical court. (The court that issued the in-absentia sentence is officially sited in Moscow, but the Ukrainian government has revoked the charter that a predecessor Ukrainian government issued several centuries ago, under which Moscow exists.

And that tradition held that when the jester spoke to the king, the jester was immune to any penalty for his words other than possibly being dismissed from that role. Of course, not every royal court had a jester. And when the guy whose word is law wants to violate a tradition that only involves one other person...

No, that's why they labeled those monstrosities as weapons. What I'm asking is why we so rarely even hear of the existence of any other variety of bagpipe.
