A Christian church, theologically, is the embodiment of the community of faith; it has very little to do with a physical building. However, said community of faith has, as an general article of faith, the belief of bringing others to follow

If you stroll through an art museum with a decent stock of art that runs between 1870 and, say 1950, you can mark off the WW1 artists generation without bothering to look at the date. The works scream in horror, constantly. Another commenta

This is a dramatic shift from the mid-90s viewpoint, which held an incredibly youthful optimism that has long fed into Google's culture. I want to bring that to one's attention. That said, this also reads like a thoughtful and

There are lawsuits against the makers of Oxy for misrepresenting and pushing Oxy as such a miracle cure. It seems to be well understood by now that opioids are/were highly over prescribed, and there are a ton of addicts now whose lives

I would stringently urge any evangelical who hasn't attended a high energy secular concert - a good one - to go. After you've had that kind of experience, it is like subtracting the noise from the signal. gave me a permanent dista

Managers need to evaluate the strength of the claim of the experienced person - are they really underpaid? Has the person done their homework? I've had those conversations and they've worked out positively for me, but I've sp

A book on barbell work for older (> 50y/o) adults defines a particular symptom set as "Sick Aging Phenotype". Diabetic, overweight, and physical inability are hallmarks of that symptom set. One of my aims as someone who sp

An alive genre would be having albumns that people know ; it would be scintillating with new work and its defenders not having to mine niche areas to claim relevance. Unreleased work would be cool, but it should not be dominant , because

> The fact that this 55-year-old recording is the year’s most significant jazz release tells you all you need to know about the health of jazz in 2018. Writer has a point. As much as I like jazz, it's ossified badly as a genre. Love

I'm afraid I must disagree: Python packaging is as bad as its ever been; but now with more nuances to trip one up and occasionally work.

Yep. Yep. Yep. I once rewrote a Python program into Java just to avoid those problems. 10/10 would do again.

I do not believe this is a thing. I've seen a lot of migration between company sizes. I would, however, believe that you are presenting in such a way as to not harmonize with the expectations of the interviewer. I've done a fair b

I pay for Google drive and use it heavily for many documents. It has similar issues, at a lower level, but isn't as tightly integrated as OneDrive. I also use CrashPlan, because cloud storage isn't backup. :)

Crap happens. That's the point of the courts; to enforce remedy. If you've ever dealt a little bit with funky titles, you'd know that having a central authority managing all claims to title would be a big deal and massively
