I'm sure you knew it was a play on words involving 'impossible' && her name. Probably anything ending w/ '-im' would've worked. 'Tim', 'Jim', etc.

No Network Wants TV Rights for Spain's Women's Football League

Italian Nuns Fight to Keep Their Patch of Beach

A battle has broken out in a coastal town in northern Italy between a local order of nuns and the municipal government. For years the nuns have managed a small stretch of beach, renting out sunbeds and parasols to raise money for charity projects.

The mayor of Spotorno, Mattia Fiorini, now wants to...

I imagine the nuns have so little, already. Let them have the beach. Chances are the mayor gets a nice cut from the deal to be made.
All that said, haven't really interacted w/ the nuns, so who knows how good they really are.

Tesla started this bullshit. New Jersey, USA has a right to repair law that states any person should be able to buy any part or tool a dealership can purchase. Teslas don't have dealerships, they're direct to customer, so they get around the rules. People are too stupid to properly research and not buy shit unrepairable cars that track your every movement today.
