Mostly tradition. Asteroids have had their volatiles baked off their surface, or never had them due to forming inside the frost line. But it’s not a very intrinsically meaningful distinction—it’s more about what they look like from the vant

Yes but those aren’t civil asset forfeiture cases, which this discussion is about.

To be pedantic, I don’t think they can hold you in contempt without also involving you in the process, giving you some legal say to fight it. The whole issue with civil asset forfeiture is that it divorces the property from its owner, legal

Yeah but this subthread discussion is regarding "are those passages taken out of context by preachers?" And it is interesting to note that the quotes given are all examples of 1st century preachers attempting to apply Jesus'

Air Traffic Control. It’s a matter of public safety. Strikes are not allowed.

It’s worth noting though that all your quotes are from the various post-gospel letters, not quotes from Jesus.

The 2nd mortgage on my house is a perpetual loan, so it very much is still a thing. Some context: I could only go 5% down but wanted to avoid PMI, so the other 15% for 20% down on the first mortgage was taken from a 2nd mortgage, which had

You have no way of knowing that it diverged decades ago. That's a guess based on the number of mutations. But as we've seen with COVID-19, these viruses have more of a punctuated equilibrium behavior around mutations. "Decade

There is direct evidence of a similar disease outbreak in 2012 among miners who came in contact with bats in caves. Maybe even the same disease. It was being studied in the Wuhan lab. The theory that there must be intermediate hosts is atte

Fusors are room temperature. It’s the electrical gradient which produces the reaction, not temperature.

There are cases in Wuhan which predate the wet market cluster. That appears to have been a super spreading event but not the origin. The bats this disease come from we’re not being sold in the market at this time. They’re out of season. So

Wuhan is around thousand kilometers away from where this virus supposedly originated from. But the Wuhan lab did receive samples in 2019 from miners who died in 2012 from an infection of a novel coronavirus that resulted in symptoms very si

Depends. Public employees in Bavaria are allowed to have up to 2 liters of beer for lunch. Is that drunk?

This is correct. If you don't have the right to quit at any time, you are legally a slave / indentured servant. And that is very, very illegal.

My point is that even a young and fit person has a higher chance of dying of COVID (10x or 100x higher) than by blood clots from the vaccine, given what we know about that risk.

Any cause of death is very rare if you get hyper-specific about the details.

by garmaine 6y ago
Would you rather your mum / sister / kid died of COVID? Because that's more likely.

by garmaine 6y ago
No the point is that there should be on average ~4 people dying of these sorts of fatal blood clotting anyway .

"Free beer" is often used to describe a social or work gathering. If the host/company pays for drinks, it's "free beer." As in, "hey come to the seminar with me on Thursday: there's pizza and free bee
