They could put him on a little island. No overthrown leader has ever come back from that.

There was a not very good TV show Seven Days that used this well. They had a time machine that could go back in time seven days. The pilot had to fly the machine chasing the earth as he traveled back in time.

He would usually end up crashing it somewhere and have to find a phone to call for pickup.

There is Star Trek the Motion Picture. It’s the first Trek movie.

It produces more rare tritium fuel than it uses from other fuels that it consumes. So in theory as long as you keep supplying the common fuel you get the tritium you need for the higher power reactions.

As a kid growing up in Florida the sand that turns you into sand freaked me out.

Yeah generating a steam key to sell yourself isn’t free but last time I last time made some it was less than a buck. I’m going on an old memory but I think it was $0.17 each.

So any stainless steel will do that. No need for a special disk. I use a stainless steel cocktail shaker to peal garlic. Then when I rinse it clean it also removes the smell from my hands.

No. The heat from peppers is an oil. Dry finger tips absorb the oil. So either gloves or rub a drop of neutral oil on your fingers before handling peppers.
