Thanks, it turns out I didn’t know what goth music was.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
I don’t think it’s accurate to only indicate the Roman catholic church. The creation of the bible was a process of curation and editing intentional and accidental.
But the Roman catholic church is defo responsible for the inclusion of the Johannine Comma in the KJV.
- Comment on I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers 1 week ago:
Me friend recently told me she was caned (rapped with a ruler to be more specific) on the back of her hand for writing on the chalkboard with her left hand.
1989 Anglican Sunday school in rural Canada. They never went back.
- Comment on Alchemy is so hot right now. 1 week ago:
It’s a neat idea for sure, but the out of place artifacts are rarely/never as mysterious as people like Graham Hancock would suggest.
Younger Dryas wasn’t as catastrophic either. Nor are flood myths as unified.
It’s fun to imagine possibilities like that but I can’t conceive of how a society could advance to a nonphysical/digital technology paradigm without impacting the earth in enormously detectable ways.
I think it’s interesting to imagine a scenario like what if European explorers shipwrecked on a place like Rapa Nui, the most isolated inhabitable place on the planet. How many generations could they maintain knowledge of the globe, and their culture.

I was going to say you can envision Tau as a carpenter’s square measuring the diameter of the circle

The third option that’s like a combination of the two.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 3 weeks ago:
Ambient air temp when the bottle is cooling probably also plays a role, more or less shrink before it “freezes”
Yeah I agree with that. Also maybe inconsistency with the plastic batch.
But also milk jugs are blown directly from pellets, no threaded blank. Water bottles and pop bottles go from threaded blanks though.
I don’t remember seeing washing but I guess that would be on the filling side, (jugs are made on one side of the plant then go through a wall to the clean side) I don’t think I’ve seen that for milk.
- Comment on The ID_10_ts 3 weeks ago:
I was wondering that too, fake redaction on false allegations and unverifiable allegations, real redaction on allegations that can be corroborated.
- Comment on Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? 5 weeks ago:
I think they might. We should find someone from Dunedin.
- Comment on Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? 5 weeks ago:
They reference sleighs because they are (were) a practical and fun way of getting around in winter. Sleighs are associated with Santa but the songs aren’t about his sleigh.
- Comment on Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? 5 weeks ago:
Lots of Christmas songs are actually just winter songs.
Frosty the snowman
Jingle bells
Winter wonderland
Sleigh ride

Aspen: you can tell it’s an aspen because of the way that it is.
- Comment on Anon is a linguist 5 weeks ago:
Honestly I agree, I only pointed it out because of the irony of a pedant insisting others ought to use words according to their formal definitions while misusing formal English.
“Right” is a bad word to end a sentence with“Right” is a bad word with which to end a sentence because it can be mis-parsed as as an invitation to agreement.
- Comment on Anon is a linguist 5 weeks ago:
I feel like I’m walking into a trap here but:
This pedant is using an adjective as an adverb.
(…)you don’t conjugate your verbs right.

- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 1 month ago:
The sooner they hire someone the less time they spend understaffed and the more they have to pay whoever the hire. It’s not a huge difference but it is also not zero.
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 1 month ago:
It just won’t affect the company whatsoever.
When does a company decide to recruit? It’s when current employees can’t handle the workload and/or move projects ahead on schedule.
Not being recruited increases the hiring cycle time and means the development falls further behind schedule.
It’s not nothing.

- Comment on Is Baofeng flagrantly lying to the FCC and endangering users? A deep dive 2 months ago:
I’m not even a ham and I know Baofeng are infamous for spurious emissions. Have they been getting away with it by just not telling the FCC that they’re selling transmitters?

Most modern scholars consider this epistle to have been written after Paul’s death, although a small and declining number of scholars still argue for Pauline authorship.

- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 3 months ago:
Same model year doesn’t mean same condition.
A used car with lower mileage, documented service history, and a dealer warranty is worth a lot more than one without those things.
But also OP is right insurrance will generally offer the least they think they can get away with.
