What's the most convincing combination of Monkey and Sheep?

What on earth prompted you to consider this question?

^{What doth life?}

But thou must!

As a Scotsman, it is my duty to inform you that you can fry anything.

Fried pizza is a common one around here, though I've never tried it.

Tried a deep fried Mars bar once.

It was… not very pleasant.

I’m sure there’s a chippy somewhere that will allow you to bring in something and they’ll deep fry it for you.

I get what you’re saying, but that time saving adds up.

When I still cared about it I used to stay at work an extra 7 minutes in order to get a bonus at the end of the year for having worked a certain number of hours. It basically worked out as an extra hour a week (the earliest I could punch in was 5 minutes prior to my scheduled start time, so 12 minutes per day * 5 days per week = 60 minutes) which meant I could also take extra time off later in the year if I happened to work beyond that 7 minutes, which I frequently did, though that tended to amount to taking my time cleaning up and then going for a pee as the bathrooms were conveniently far away from the punch clock.

As it pertains to using extra gas though, maybe not worth the extra pennies that get spent, but to each their own I guess *shrug*

I came for the dwarves and stayed for the humans I met along the way.

Was surprisingly touched by this

You should report it.

I didn't want to say anything Dwarfy, because I don't want to be judgmental or discriminatory against your, eh, "hobby", but can you, like, keep it down? I'm certain that the neighbors can hear, and you're interrupting my DF playing.

Okay this worries me because I did start practicing the keyboard recently 

Edit/Random observation: If you're being discriminatory based on that, are you then a pianist?

Excuse me you little sh-

Oh, pianist.

*nervous chuckle*

They’ve asked for military support (weapons, presumably) and economic support.

From a BBC report on one of those live pages:

Asked about media reports that Russia was asking China for military help, a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington says Beijing is focused on keeping the war in Ukraine from "getting out of control".

Reuters quoted embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu as saying that "the situation in Ukraine is indeed disconcerting".

"The high priority now is to prevent the tense situation escalating or even getting out of control," he said.

Earlier on Sunday, the Financial Times and a number of other media outlets reported that US officials believe Russia has requested Chinese military supplies to help with the war effort, as well as economic support.

When asked about the reports, the spokesperson said that he "never heard of that".

US officials have warned that China would face consequences if it takes steps to help Russia evade sanctions.

China has so far publicly remained neutral in the conflict and refused to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
