disclaimer this is from circa 2020 but feels relevant to the people dancing to mariachi getting tear gassed today

          Well, I think I’m still somewhere in Europe, so maybe something low atmo will suffice, avoid some of that friction:-? Dunno, maybe tin foil?:-?

              Eh, we’ll figure it out somehow!:)) If not, at least I doubt anyone around here would mind if I were to… procure the books through other means:"

                  Hmm, fair point:-? I think you had it the first time, a trebuchet would cover the distance if the payload weighs as much as a book:-? Just have to make it aerodynamic!

                    (alarms blaring)

                    Sir, two icbm’s have been stolen.

                    oh my god. This could be world war thr-

                    no, no sir. Just the missiles. They left the warheads right over there.

                    I… Well, have we found them?

                    yes sir. They stopped briefly at the local library, found it was closed, and are frying to launch from the parking lot behind a used book store. Our guys can’t figure out what to do.
