If there are correlations between queerness and neurodivergence, walking faster could be explained by ADHD

TCF = Terminate and Catch Fire?

If the gold is in an accepted standard form, such as krugerrands, you just need to find a precious metals dealer. If it’s just a pile of gold, then there’s a lot of hassle. I imagine ingots of the sort national gold reserves hold would be somewhere in between.

Shifting a large quantity of gold may require a non-optional explanation of its provenance, with “I woke up and it was just there” or “a genie gave it to me after I did an online quiz” not being adequate, and an inadequate explanation resulting in its forfeiture if not more serious legal hassles. With a large pile of gold and no good explanation, you may be reduced to smurfing small pieces of it to different dealers, moving around a lot and avoiding the attention that such a pile would inevitably draw.

“I’m not that kind of girl”

“…but, surely, you must be!”

Has this been audited? It’s easy to claim that something is secure, but there have been products that made such claims and were trivially exploitable.

I wonder if, as he was being nailed up, some part of his attention was devoted to critiquing the carpentry of the cross.
