  Dogma blooms like a flower, but discipline can change as the need arises. Cremation was avoided originally because it was associated with disbelief in the resurrection.

  Is it possible Paul is referring to the accidents, not the substance?

  I beg to differ. If it’s not a CoViD test, where would you urinate?

  Too bad Hindi isn’t listed. I’ve found many a “Hearing Impaired” subtitle stream listed as such.

  I’d argue it doesn’t accurately show the relative value at a cursory glance. The chart shows the area under the curve having decreased roughly 80-90%, but when looking at the y-axis, you can see that initial assessment was misled.

  I agree, it’s infuriating.

  Probably people who have heard of these scientists being credited for their work.

  [In my best nature documentarisn voice] Behold, what appears to be moving goalposts to the outside observer is actually a side-effect of the first-past-the-post system’s tendency towards two dominant parties.

  qt(333/106) and qt(355/113) are closer approximations anyway, with 4 and 6 decimal digits of precision, respectively.

  There’s also 22/7, which is slightly more precise than 3.14 alone, but if you ask me, the first two nines which appear in pi lend themselves to a nice rhythm in English that are easily worked into a sing-sing mnemonic that keeps up until the “79” after the 12th decimal, when that falls apart and you have to memorize a whole lot more digits in order to get any sort of pattern.

  …hospitals sell your information, too.

  I feel so sorry for those of you living in places with for-profit healthcare.

  I edited for clarity to explain that I’m referring to the subgenre pop punk, which one could easily argue is not punk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks like something straight from Warhammer 40K⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d disagree. Stuff like this springs out of acts of popular piety. When you teach that the relics of people in heaven can work as prayer aides, it’s a foregone conclusion that some may want to to wallpaper a prayer space with the highest class of relics.

  It’s an unanticipated reaction to authority, ergo punk.

  Was it one of the sketches in Square One TV?

  Yes.

  Also, it was grape flavour, not cherry flavour Flavor Aid.

  There’s a reason why every encounter with an Angel starts with them saying “Do not be afraid.”
