> And one of my more radicle, radicle friends would say, "we will eat the vegans first, they are slow and weak"... A radicle is an early plant growth stage. No wonder they would hate the vegans most!

You are repeatedly asking for proof of a negative, which can't be done, so your requests are meaningless. You made the original claim (that Franklin was a member); now the burden of proof is on you to provide evidence.

If this merely put the minutes and seconds in a readable font size along the "hour" arm, it would be cool and useful. I could glance and see it's about 1:30 pm. I could look for a second and see I have four minutes to my 1:30

This is exactly what a delay accomplishes: a trivial annoyance to legit users, but a real overhead to bots trying to hit-and-run users. Much like micropayments could solve the text spam problem.

And their answer is caca. It's trivially easy to bury like-sized cuts of cotton (an old dress shirt would source several), while cotton underpants will vary in fiber content (none are 100% cotton today; they have elastic bands), size,

The 5th has been distorted by the courts so much, that I wouldn't assume any novel interpretation would stand (and wiping data to avoid self-implicating is novel). For instance, apparently answering questions up until a point at whi

Sorta. Neither the human orphan nor the widow is fixed by your description; they simply aren't alone either more. The child is still an orphan; the woman a widow.

And you wouldn't see it from the POV of a natural citizen, not being one, but I assure you it has nothing to do with immigration. Cash is one of the few ways the "little guy" can sneak things past the IRS.

I'm speaking biochemistry, not nonsense, and you are conflating carbohydrates with "foods containing carbohydrates" (which is: all food).

That's a great point! The ritualistic "dressing" of sushi makes it seem ancient and enshrined.

It is the brutal truth for an atheist, but not for most people. (I am an atheist, but I believe a logically derived set of rights can largely be agreed upon. These are, however, sadly still just an agreement.)

You can manipulate the meaning of "good" to suit your purpose, but it generally refers to quality. Cost is a different aspect entirely. A one-dollar scoop of ice cream and a $100 scoop are both good.

Not all opposing opinions are reasonable, nor "symmetrically unreasonable". When a reasonable human being and a xenophobe or racist argue, the truth is not somewhere in the middle.

I think it was the "immigrants" comment. To me, it's like claiming "black people like chocolate!". They do. So do most people. Why single out black people?

That's how it works in established US communities, too. Contractors often give cash discounts (off the record). My lawn mower asks me to write "gift" on checks when I can't pay in cash.
