I’m puzzled by all these headlines about a Ryanair flight landing with 5-6 minutes of fuel left.

Surely the reserve worked perfectly as it failed to land at Glasgow (plus a go-around), Edinburgh as the alternate, and got to Manchester and onto the ground?

I have endless circular arguments about this.

Me: “No, it’s written something tuned to look like a summary.”

Them: “But it looks like a summary.”

Me: <sigh>

We're up to Aeneid 6 in our group, and this is yet another line that makes one reflect on the impossibility of "accurate" translation...

technically only within the Roman Catholic Church - if you take the Anglicans, having interrupted apostolic succession back to St. Peter at the time of Henry VIII "by removal of bishops", you can still have a Church, just not the RC one "within spec".

given the average age there would be serious rheumatism and pneumonia repercussions. Unless, of course, that was your plan to begin with, in which case I apologise for breaking it to the world.

It depends, do you feel a sense of accomplishment? A feeling of independence from machines? Do you consider yourself a "thinker"? If so these are normal consequences that you should not worry about. The onset of a migraine is also a known side-effect in 63.5% of cases.
