According to Catholic tradition, the apostolic see of Rome was founded by Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the first century. As neither of these saintly men ever did anything wrong, we should clearly expect the same of their successors.

Grifter "visionaries" with messiah complexes can indeed find common ground across "party lines".

I don't understand the goal of this comparison. In what ways is "driving a classic car 1200 miles each year for 37 years" some kind of substitute for "producing one EV"? Is this just about making classic car enthusi

At least in the parts of the company I've worked -- always on product teams -- the majority of my coworkers were not born in the United States. Given that, even if all the other parts of the world were represented proportionally you&#x

I used to have an autographed copy of this article -- one of only two autographs I ever received. The other was on a check from Donald Knuth :). Sadly, I seem to have lost both of these at some point in the last 15 years :(.

I definitely haven't found anything better which is also relatively available in the US. But I think that Königsberg-style marzipan is way better than Lübeck-style (and would do so even if my mother weren't from East Prussia. :)

There is a term "femcel"... I think the difference (no matter what you are or what kind of person you're attracted to) is in the way you choose to deal with failure.

Why is it, then, that people in traditionally progressive countries—my native social-democratic Sweden being a prime example—can believe the same things, read the same books, and propound the same ideas as their American counterparts, with

Yes, I remember the primary way to buy tickets was as packs. Invariably, you'd have leftover A and B tickets (which couldn't be used for nearly anything) and you'd have to buy extra E tickets because the pack came with just o

I've been a huge Zelazny fan since the mid-80s, and it's a bit of a shame that his catalog hasn't caught the imagination of showrunners and moviemakers. Because while his style is somewhat literary, it is so largely in the se
