Also, you can totally have a lawn. It’s a great place to Do Things in your garden, and it’s better than bricks or concrete. I can’t host a bbq in between the shrubs after all.
Just, turn the bits where you don’t Do Things into some other plant than lawn grass. At the very least you don’t really need those corners.

Also, depending on where and when in the middle ages, currency would vary hugely and work with several dozens of different coins. Travel to another region would involve money changers, scales, entirely different systems of coinage with (by modern standards) absurd breakdowns of coins and wholly new names and words.
And having pure coins would be easy, so obviously you’d have fun stuff like “new dollars” being worth 7/16th of an “old dollar” because they have less silver in them.

95% is the lower limit of being fine.

Easy to state but do you have any proof of the connection?
How about the abstract of the paper, which mentions “association” three times and “cause” zero times.

“Fraud” is a legal definition.
“Defraud” is basically defined as “doing fraud” but from context it just means “swindling someone in fully legal ways”

Ah, it’s Muslim belief that the original Quran is sacred and a work of god, but a translation is made by humans, and is thus not the truly correct version and only an interpretation.
Its not that you can’t read a version of text in another language, but it won’t be the sacred text.
- Comment on language learning 4 weeks ago:
Yes, but Muslims are rather particular about translated versions not reeeeaaally counting.

How readable is the Quran in modern Arabic? Or is it translated?

Using lasers to track earth curvature across a big lake for example, absolutely fascinating to see why it doesnt work as you may expect.
Why would it not work as I expect? I’m expecting some beam decoherence, and possible deflecting due to temperature differences over a cold lake.

Only a rich crackpot could distribute pamphlets claiming colloidal silver cures cancer, and then they’d still only reach people in walking distance.
Now, any moron can reach literally the entire world at no cost or effort.
