Actually it's not that unusual. Consulates and embassies have different functions. Consulates are all about mundane services for your citizens like getting your kid a passport; embassies are all about negotiations between governments. The French consulate and embassy in Washington D.C. are in...

Hook

Yep. AFAIK they didn't kill anyone from the embassy. Tortured them though.

If bombing an embassy counts as a direct attack on a country, then no essentially about it -- Iran started its war with Israel in 1992. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/12/world/middleeast/argentina-iran-1992-1994-attack.html

Ladies and gentlemen, I can envision a day when the brains of brilliant men can be kept alive in the bodies of dumb people.

Don't Look Up

I now see the error of my mistake.

Intermission (2003)

Certainly. She didn't have to pay; the IRS determined it was identity theft and withdrew the charge. But that took them three months. They determine the truth of who owes what afterwards; it doesn't enter into the initial decision to send people bills. The IRS is by design a ready-fire-aim...

Gurlz: Not Your Average Girls

Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

The IRS isn't paid to believe or disbelieve; it's paid to feed data into computers and follow up on discrepancies. When the computer hiccups they automatically send the taxpayer a bill, and if it's bogus then the taxpayer will push back. Eventually a human will think about a case, but what...

Gone With the Wind

Penrose (provisionally) embraced it in The Road to Reality.

They haven't exactly been ruled out, but there's a lot more to it than they must not exist because we didn't find any when we looked. What were ruled out were local hidden variables, i.e., variables whose effects propagate from one place to another by transferring energy from point A to point A...

No, always taking the path of least action is pretty much the definition of classical particles. "An infinite number of superpositions exist between these two states, so the researchers repeated the experiment 1 million times to determine the most commonly occurring path. The results revealed...

You program a robot to be female by giving her female interests, like going out in the wilderness to collect specimens for scientific research. I think Dr. Widnar is the only Futurama fembot that isn't a sexist stereotype.
