I was guessing. Thanks for the correction.

But the point stands. German police are famous for being no-nonsense, but not for being torturing murderers.

It also doesn’t look all that uncomfortable. She might even be able to enjoy the aspect of being carried.

A British retail store famously had this slogan:

[https://www.johnlewis.com/customer-services/prices-and-payment/never-knowingly-undersold](https://www.johnlewis.com/customer-services/prices-and-payment/never-knowingly-undersold)

I’m thinking if we get tired of the “fighting ignorance” thing, an alternative SDMB slogan could be:

> Never Knowingly Underanalyzed

Meh. @Spice_Weasel 's understated comment had me laughing, but Conan just seemed like infantile stereotyping for a cheap laugh.

So basically he’s in a Romanian jail, which is pretty much what you’d expect.

Jails and prisons everywhere are awful places, far more than even prisoners deserve.

The story does say that the email was _apparently_ sent by Tate. It might just be from whoever has access to his account.

In the latest news, Tate’s agent apparently tried to pretend he had terminal lung cancer in order to get him out of jail, but his ego wouldn’t allow him to let anyone claim he was less than the Healthiest Person Ever.

I love how the headline as presented in your post cuts off and reads _”Andrew Tate says jail cell in Romania is dark and infested with…”_

Because I immediately mentally filled it in with “…_Andrew Tate_”😁

I can’t find a link to back this up, but I do remember reading about 1980s serial killer Bob Berdella, who was in the Kansas City area, and after he complained that his jail cell was infested with insects, a local DJ started a “Bugs For Berdella” campaign. People actually brought cockroaches, etc. to the radio station.

Oy, the Internet is really great (\*) but it has the defect of letting me know what Great Minds like him and his lawyer are up to…

I mean, I suppose in a sense he’s technically correct. To the extent that I maintain my current strength levels, I too expect to survive indefinitely. Unfortunately, I cannot rule out that ageing, disease or somebody getting annoyed with me and stabbing me might affect my strength levels.
