It does and it doesn't. AFAIK Shia doesn't specifically ban all images outright, but instead relies on context. For example, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)* - Sunni Islam bans all images of him and other prophets, while Shia Islam m

Could Google just circumvent this entirely by making Chrome 100% open source? I realize Chrome is partially open source, but IIRC Google still has some special abilities that no fork has the ability to access.

Or going to their live shows if they happen to come to a venue near you. Or by buying vinyl at a local record store. Sadly, those are dying out, but you can find one or two good ones in any major city. In electronic, hip-hop, and a lot of

Again the DEM party took another opportunity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They should have nominated Mark Kelly. The GOP ran on "this bitch hates America". You can't run on that against a 4 star rear admiral w

Josh Shapiro has also stated in writing that he volunteered with the IDF, which under traditional norms is completely disqualifying for the Presidency or Vice Presidency as it's service to a foreign military.

Not only fake job postings, it's also companies posting fake jobs when they already have an internal or external candidate all but signed. The amount of spam and fake jobs on LI + other major sites is just disgusting and is ripe for go

Yeah! The show itself was pretty neat IMO. Neat world-building, the concepts were cool, the ship designs were cool, some of the acting was good, and overall, I think considering the density and depth of the source material, they did a pre

It's not a matter of if Trump would . He absolutely will. Donald Trump has an ego the size of the universe, and if someone slights him in any way, he will be out for blood.

Their content is OK outside the MLS deal. I will get roasted for this, but I enjoyed Foundation . Decent sci-fi with some cool visuals and interesting concepts. It just had nothing to do with the actual books.

A few issues speaking as someone who lives in the greater 305 area: 1. Marketing is primarily to get people to come to games as opposed to watching the team on TV. Problem is, nobody wants to go because the stadium is 45 minutes away witho

Yeah, that was my thought too - law of diminishing returns is at play. Expanding one's area of literary interest is key here. Look at what Bill Gates does with his quarterly reading list - so many different genres, topics, etc. Keeps

Fair, but NFL feeder programs are not educating their athletes, including a number of athletes who will not make the NFL or NBA. They are getting little to no education and have no shot at turning pro. Worse yet, the chase for more and mor

They aren't being educated. Outside of Stamford and the Ivies, I'd wager that most players, especially in football, are taking easy classes (and in some cases having tests taken for them) and even then, things are quite easy for t

English is basically a dialect of German spoken with French words. The vast majority of our grammar rules come from German, whereas our vocabulary is a lot of French, however, mixed in with several hundred years of cultural integration due

I don't think legalizing it was a mistake. I think allowing the betting houses and websites to advertise as prolifically as they have been (with very little restrictions) was a massive mistake. Advertising for sports betting is fuckin

Agree with other comments regarding play vs. visuals. Don't get me wrong, I've been floored with some of the visuals the PS5 and Xbox have produced, and every generation there's a few titles that just blow my mind with how go

Why has nobody mentioned for-profit entities allowed to run roughshod over our country's students? textbook publishers, for one, are guilty of this. professors get kickbacks to assign a new edition of a textbook each year or few years

And nothing will happen to City. The league itself is very powerless - it's not like the NFL. The Premier League as a corporate organization is effectively a marketing agency that collectivizes revenue from TV deals and distributes it
