Ah, close but that's actually Oscillation. Orgasm is when you juxtapose two concepts with opposite meanings in one word or phrase, often for humor..

If it isn't the consequences of their own actions

This person would break the sound barrier on their way out. Mostly on account of the last smart guy trying this.

Not in anything Petrochemical. They rulebooks habe a very clear restriction on "anything that is, or appears to be" (a cigarette).

Yep, Submarine launched ballistic missiles from Arianegroup, which is joint venture by Safran and (surprise) Airbus.

And air launched missiles by MBDA. Which is a joint venture of BAE, Leonardo and I'll let you guess who the remaining 37% share.

It unlocked the cheats. So you could enter other codes, like Scourge and Mitzi, which gave infinite health and all weapons (or the reverse).

I played that game SO much, and was so terrible at it.

You can set up a genetic engineering lab for under 5000 bucks in your garage, and I would prefer you not being able to google how to DIY some super-ebola, thank you very much.

I’ve been saying it for a while, even if we figured out fusion, it wouldn’t see the light of day.

Fusion reactors would be absolutely massive, hugely expensive, centralized facilities that provide something of great value for very little labour input. They're the PERFECT tool of capitalism.

I do larp, so I wear an above average number of capes and cloaks. It's super inconvenient, but at historically capes would end up at the lowest around your calves, because yeah this gets dirty.

And historically, that meant you'd drag it through literal shit that was in every street, not just road-dirt. It would get destroyed pretty quickly too. Also, as a dutch person, capes have the problem of not letting your a bike, which is a terrible thing of course.

True, but you're allowed to have both.

... Where's the joke?

I think there's a word "paying into the budget in exchange for closer ties and access".

It starts with the letter M, I think.
