If you can't think of a descriptive name for your tool or product, maybe you should pause, think on it, and resist the temptation to pick a completely irrelevant one-word noun. Call me a codger. I don't care. This crap was old ten

It's not; indulgences remit the temporal punishment associated with sin (mortal sins incur eternal punishment in additional to temporal punishment; merely venial sins incur only temporal punishment). Mortal sin can be forgiven only thr

Because housing never was, and never will be, a commodity...at least not for people who can afford it, which is most of us in the 1st world.

The irony is that phrases like that are actually the least ripe for abuse because there is a ton of case law concerning them. I.e. they have a very specific meaning in regard to the law/statute/code. They're legalese, and leg

The irony is that for kids that are actually homeschooled, they spend maybe 2 to 3 hours per day doing schoolwork. That kids spend so long in public school is not to their benefit, but to the benefit of those that need to keep their parents

I tried using duckduckgo for a period of about two months. It's great that it's not monetized through ads, but it's main function, search, is not best in class. I do not use duckduckgo anymore.

Tldr: rhoticity was the norm, but the prestige dialect became non-rhotic at a certain point.

You're right...so here's the logical space: A. Video/audio/text of/by person, signed, we have knowledge that this video bears their signature, they endorse it B. Unsigned B1. Unsigned because it's not them B2.

Why isn't this a solution: Everyone has some gpg-like setup. If we see a statement or video or audio by a person accompanied by a public (graphic or audible) key that checks out...ok, done, verified. If we don't, then we can justi
