Right, but they are churches in Germany.
- Comment on Why is Greg, Pastor of the Promised End playing guitar??? 2 days ago:
Almost all of which were built before the reformation.
Ulm Minster, Cologne Cathedral, Speyerer Dom, the Berlin Cathedral, all originally Catholic.
England is a better example since their brand of Protestantism really favored big works to rival the Catholics.
- Comment on A long-ass way to write 'not parmesan'. 2 days ago:
Yeah, that is probably something that can’t legally be called “Parmesan”.
Like it could be basically anything. The only thing we know for sure is that it is NOT Parmesan, because if it was it would say so.

Are you suggesting that my definition of a population of orca as “hillbillies” is not an evidence based scientific opinion?
- Comment on It's called fashion, sweaty, look it up 1 week ago:
Right, which is why they are backwards hillbillies.

Except that we are talking a group of animals within a species.
Other, genetically identical, Orcas literally swim into the same habitat as Southern Residents and eat all the other shit in puget sound while the resident orcas sit there and starve in the same environment.

Given that they are facing extinction because they are starving to death while surrounded by food? They haven’t had a surviving calf in a decade because they are malnourished. Yeah, it is.
The Salmon hats are probably them expressing displeasure and mourning in their starvation since it is the same behavior that they use when they express mourning for a dead calf:
- Comment on It's called fashion, sweaty, look it up 1 week ago:
Southern Residents (puget sound orcas) are the toothless moron hillbillies of the Orca community. They starve in a weird little place that is FULL of food that they are too stupid and backwards to eat.

It’s true. They also issue a pistol as part of the kit and as far I know still so, but it is apparently optional and most cosmonauts choose to leave it behind.

That story is apocryphal.
Pencils aren’t suitable in space because the last thing you want are little wood and graphite shavings floating around the capsule.
Both the US and Russia used grease pens.
The Fischer space pen was developed by a private company with no public investment and was marketed to the government and public.
- Comment on Wake up sheeple 1 week ago:
Russian capsules have returned to land since their very first launches.
The decision has more to do with geopolitics than physics. Russia does not have a robust Navy with access to equatorial waters on which to land a spacecraft, the US does. Given the historical accuracy of landing a capsule it is actually a hell of a lot easier to drive a big ship to the eventual location than it is to drive a big truck into the middle of a desert. The reason western nations return capsules to the sea is because its easier to recover them there.
Both approaches have technical challenges. Returning to land requires a slower landing speed (although as a percentage of the starting velocity of a spacecraft its a pretty insignificant difference) and landing on the sea requires the carrying of flotation devices and designing a capsule with buoyancy in mind.
In other words this post is completely inaccurate.

The cost of building a gaming PC has also gone up dramatically.
A whole ps5 is about the current price of just a decent “value” video card. Toss in your ram and storage and you’re looking at three times the price.

- Comment on If a revolution started tomorrow in the US to get rid of Trump, could the majority of society use hit and run tactics successfully? Or what would be the tactics the rebels would use? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not what condition for victory would be achieved by nuking Washington DC for anyone. Seems like that would be a win for the people opposed to the existing government to me.
- Comment on If a revolution started tomorrow in the US to get rid of Trump, could the majority of society use hit and run tactics successfully? Or what would be the tactics the rebels would use? 5 weeks ago:
The US has 300 million people in it. If even one percent of them decided to pick up a brick and go to Washington DC there isn’t an army on earth that could stop them.
Revolutions are fought by a tiny minority against another tiny minority while everyone else just tries to stay alive.

For every fun thing you get to test there are a dozen miserable little things that you get spend entire days plodding through. And they pay you absolute dick to do it.

I think the best modern civ is either IV or V depending on how much you just want to do a military conquest victory.
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 1 month ago:
ALWAYS play one generation behind with Civ because they don’t actually finish the last game until the new one comes out. Civ 7 will probably be fine, in like a year and a half.
Honestly, one could probably just keep playing Civ 5 without missing much unless there is a specific mechanic in Civ 6 that you enjoy. If you just use it to play risk (i.e. military victories only) Civ IV is probably the best version.
