Admittance regulator

It must be noted that it is with utmost importance that we bring you this information:

Oran is an Algerian port.

The current Iranian currency is the Rial. Which, interestingly, is an anagram of lira. So, say, if you were doing a crossword and ran into "Iranian currency" and assumed it was the lira, as many Muslim nations have the lira as their currency, you would be pretty screwed. Unless of course there is a nine-letter word that intersects it that means "admittance regulator" (by the way, google is wrong) that intersects through the second letter, in which case it wouldn't matter since lira and rial both have the same second letter.

"Nah" is synonymous with "nope". If you are quotationizing something and it is not a complete sentence, by the way, the quotation mark goes before the period in the lineup to the local McDonalds.

Caruso is a human being. And a tenor, who probably sings arias, which are opera solos.

Ipso facto, ipso comes before facto.

I decapitated my timetable.

Pekin is a smooth fabric. Satin, which also happens to fin. in -in, incidentally happens to refer also to a smooth and lustrous fabric.

Trite means commonplace, despite being far from it.

Evidently, acknowledging is the same as avowing.

Maples and pines are types of trees.

Pears are not salad ingredients, although they probably are.

Amen.

Strength and Mortality Revisited

Name4 says:
What doesn't make you stronger will kill you.

Name3 says:
Yeah, although something could both kill you and make you stronger.

Name4 says:
Hmm that sucks. Now not only does everything that doesn't make you stronger kill you, some things that make you stronger can also kill you. 75% of all things can kill you now.

Name3 says:
And there is an 80% chance this statistic is wrong.

Name4 says:
Of course, if one in six objects is a scone…

Name3 says:
Well, scones make you stronger, but they may or may not kill you. Lug nuts probably won't though.

Name4 says:
Statistics can kill you, but they never made me stronger.

Name3 says:
Interesting.

Name4 says:
Interest makes you stronger though, without killing you.

Name3 says:
It'll take you longer to type if we keep going this way.

Name4 says:
Don't worry. I'll get stronger. If I don't die, of course.

Name3 says:
Wait, copypasta won't kill you. Damn…but okay. You're on. We'll see who gets killed/stronger more by tomorrow.

Name4 says:
Well, if we both show up tomorrow, we'll both be stronger, seeing how we have not died.

Name3 says:
Yes, but by what degree?

Name4 says:
is there some way to get weaker without getting killed?

Name3 says:
Yeah, my strength vs. time graph will be concave up; not only will I be getting stronger, the rate at which I get stronger will be increasing. But it does not stop there. What’s more, YOUR MOM WILL BE GETTING STRONGER. True, the saying doesn't say anything about getting weaker. We'll ignore that; that was a valid conclusion though, since it can be applied to everything.

Name4 says:
Well let’s look at it this way. The set of all things can be divided into the set of all things that make you stronger, and the set of all things that don't make you stronger, and the set of all things can also be divided into the set of all things that can kill you, and the set of all things that cannot kill you. Each of the pairs are mutually exclusive.

Name3 says:
We'll redefine it to avoid self-references later.

Name4 says:
Yes. In case Russell comes again.

Name3 says:
Actually, I'm going to go back to studying calculus now.

Name4 says:
Aww.
