This anticlimactic non-sequitur timing of death is classic Goddard.

George III lost 13 of the American colonies
He also lost his mind.
That was the same George? With the clocks?

@DogsB said in The Official 2022 Death Pool:
The causality may go in the other direction, though. The villagers had been trying for decades to get him to take a bath, and maybe as he neared his death he became too weak to fight them off any longer.
-
@jinpa I had to double-check you didn't write "casualty".

-
@remi Where was Anish Kapoor when this happened
-
@remi well, fair enough, I suppose. Really only thematically demanded between
Against The Day
and the actual production of Vertically Aligned NanoTube Array black.

The Telegraph is one of those where just disabling JS is enough to bypass the paywall, with no ill-effect (that I noticed).
-
@remi Alternatively, you can use 12ft.io:
Not much of a onebox, but the full article loads and stays readable
-
@hungrier yes but on sites where it works, disabling JS has the advantage that you do that once (in your browser's setting) and then all links to that site always work, without having to do anything. A net win for !
That said, 12ft is great for many other cases.

from tje article

@DogsB I suppose we'll all have to... uh... le mot abdicé... um... well, something - as best we can under these sad circumstances.

@PleegWat does TFA0 headline say he overslept?

@Arantor well, there goes the deepest reading yet to exist of that character. >FOOM< one might say. in a different series

@Gribnit
He's dead

@Luhmann said in The Official 2022 Death Pool:
@Gribnit
He's deadThanks, yes. Also Gallagher. He's not Gallagher, but, they're both dead. Specifically though,
overleden
? Is thisburied
or or is it a euphemism?
-
@Gribnit
No just the formel way of saying he's dead.
-
@Arantor What a sucky birthday.

@Luhmann said in The Official 2022 Death Pool:
@Gribnit
No just the formel way of saying he's dead.What is the closest literal meaning? From here it looks like
overlaid
,overburdened
,overslept
orout of hitpoints
.

@Gribnit
Deceased, Dutch only makes a distinction between the state and a person.

@boomzilla well, that's what you get for being a living metaphor for international distrust via uncontrollable happenstance.

@boomzilla That site is why ad blockers exist. It's literally unreadable on my phone. Banners top and bottom, with ads between every paragraph of the article — that change size as they are replaced by other ads. Scroll the next paragraph into view, and before you can read it, it's shoved off the top by an ad that pops in below it. I read enough to get the gist but gave up on trying to get the details.
-
@HardwareGeek ghoulish, indeed, that the ads overshadow the news.

@boomzilla "Mehran had lived off the money he received for selling his story to Spielberg, spending the past few years in homeless shelters in Paris, before returning to his bench in terminal 2F several weeks ago. He was allegedly found with a couple of thousand euros in his pocket."
