Also possible, it is not clear to me. But thinking about it a bit more I think that Rashid was planning an attack to prevent the Syrian army from attacking Israel. And now that there is no attack from Rashid's men the Syrian army is not stopped.

I need some clarification. Rashid's men and the Syrian army were planning to attack together? And since Rashid's men did not get the order, the army goes solo? Or are Rashid's men the Syrian army?

I did only come across this story today. I find it refreshing that this is not a story about hormonal teenagers. Don't give up, there is an audience for your stories.

I am genuinely surprised you weren't already a signature author. Congratulations!

How delightfully passive aggressive of you 😘 Even though you won't read this, I wish you a peaceful day.

I wholeheartedly disagree with you. edit: oops, I did not read the exchange wit pvtguy before I wrote this. I did not aim to re-awaken your trauma with this comment.

What I do not understand is how easily Giacomo and Emilia are dumping Marco. At lunch time he is sitting within eye sight, obviously not feeling well and they just don't seem to care. No invitation to come over, not even a few words are exchanged. And then for their little trip nobody thinks about inviting him along?

Stronzi is correct. Or "stronze" if it is aimed at solely females. 😇 Now you can change the subject 😂

You are very right in warning against using Google Translate without sufficient knowledge of a language/culture. The word stronzo has a similar meaning as "asshole", stronza for a woman/girl. Fico is being used in a different way: "sei fico!" is similar to the english: "you are bad!" (as in "you are cool!") "Sei fico" is a positive thing. Daniele certainly thinks Giaco is fico.

A 42 footer pulled by a Ford Mondeo? I am surprised he even got it to move away from wherever he got it. 😂

This was a happy chapter. Thanks Dodger!

No, sorry that definition of astrology is too limited. Astrology claims to be much more than just calculating a celestial map. Astrology is a type of divination that involves the forecasting of earthly and human events through the observation and interpretation of the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets. edit: definition source; encyclopedia britannica

It does not imply that others can't question one's beliefs.

You write faster than I can read. I will put it on my list 😀 Scientists being human is not an excuse, just an observation.

As long as one is not bothering others one can believe what one wants. Now you are getting in my field: random number generators, white and pink noise. I am not familiar with the University of Virginia research. What Google tells me after a quick search is that this regards pseudo-RNGs. No surprise that the results will be predictable and possible biased then. But maybe we are getting off topic with our very entertaining (for me at least) slow chat. ☺️
