They address this a bit in the article: > Francis said there needed to be a distinction between sin and a crime when it came to homosexuality. The Catholic Church considers homosexual acts “intrinsically disordered” and a sin, but believ

The interesting thing to me is that if morality is constantly improving, then we'll all be terrible people to the future no matter what.

This puts it in a weird place because if you interpret the evidence in light of the theory, it's not really usable as evidence that the theory is right, because it ends up begging the question of why we should believe the theory in the

It's kinda light on evidence for some things, which isn't great when we're talking about someone they describe as an "activist" challenging mainstream history. For example, it just drops assertions like "The a

North Korea is still like this. People who have escaped are most impressed by the abundance of food. Having enough to eat is foreign to them. They're actually starving, right now: https://www.38north.org/2023/01

People are using a different version of 'considered' where it's not just a passing fancy, but something you would be likely to do.

I don't have a copy of the screenshots any longer, but they did not appear to be using hypothetical statements, just going for raw output, unless that could've happened in an earlier part of the conversation cut off from the rest.

NI3 isn't hard to make, there are only two ingredients and I also made it in chemistry class by pouring ammonia on the crystals which we left on filter paper. The real 'trick' is not to use that much iodine crystal so you do

I'd agree with you that it should be surprising. I don't think it is, but it definitely should be.

I'm just pointing out that federal agencies have done much worse, so it should not be terribly surprising if they're caught doing bad things.

I mean, the FBI once blackmailed MLK - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93King_suicide_lette... There was also a lot of uproar about abuses back in the 1970s.

I have an electric stove at home, but a family member has gas. I was surprised that it's so much easier to cook an omelette on a gas stove.

Fun thing is that one of the authors of the MDPI piece doen't seem to realize that there's a problem if you add up a bunch of PAFs and get something over 100%. How, exactly, does anything cause more asthma than actually exists wit

It wouldn't work for everything, but you can cut that time by preemptively reacting to conditions. Say you're going around a blind corner, you can start slowing just because your visibility is lower and you don't know what&#

Lightning frequently hits the same places because they offer good paths to ground. Tall buildings, trees, etc. get hit all the time.

Was there no chance that the rocks were due to a rock slide, or was it out in the middle of nowhere such that it could only have either been put there or fallen off a truck?

This actually goes the other way, if you believe the science: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0886260513504646 A lot of these people are in touch with prison ministries trying to get them to repent, so th

That's one way to frame the issue, but the other side of it would be that they want moderation to be more inclusive so as not to further other somewhat less than half the population and worsen the political divide. It isn't neutra

I use something called a Tushy. It's purely mechanical. Downside is it's not heated, but that's proven fine for me. Took me about 15 minutes to install and I'm no plumber. No leaks, though I did have to check for the

No idea. I think there's a real problem with the whole design of premium numbers because I'm not sure how one is even supposed to know when payment is required or meaningfully accept it, though at least the API apparently allows

Down thread someone pointed out that their API allows you to set a max price: https://www.twilio.com/blog/2015/08/introducing-max-price.ht... Apparently a lot of people could really use that info.

by Natsu 4y ago
You'd think they'd have an option simply not to let you connect to those toll numbers at all.

To be honest, this always made the most sense to me. If they want a non-compete, fine, but it should have money attached because it has value they should pay for.

The hospital said they're doing it to protect the mother's health due to complications. So it's more like they're trying to avoid making things even worse. It is horribly lacking, and that should be fixed, but trying to

The analog would be forcing him to see a specialist against his will. Another poster pointed out that the hospital said they were required to do this to protect one of the mother's health. I don't know whether that was true, but
