Also: repeatability. Can others reliably invoke YHWH to combust beef? Can Elijah perform it under controlled laboratory conditions? Can the other priests of YHWH? If not, perhaps they too should be taken to the brook and slaughtered.

Well, 1 out of 2 people has below-average intelligence. And the comments you see online vastly amplify the opinions of a small few. Heck, not long ago you'd find a lot of humans saying this about other humans.

What I find is that a total lack of clouds can make the sunlight feel overly bright and intense. The dryness can also lead to a bit of dust in the air. This is pretty minor nitpicking overall, but the middle of the day can feel a little har

It's just because those first couple of Star Wars movies were just so exciting/imaginative etc. The universe was so lived-in and fantastic. Trek has its moments, but it's just more boring. A lot of talky talky and slow and&#x

Yeah for home use, futzing with the stove and rubber gasketed contraptions seems pointless. Pourover works well. I used to use aeropress but the rubber plunger degrades and builds up grime, I also find pourover more fun to use. Having a sou

Even in English, in certain contexts, blue-green middling shades are treated individually (turquoise, cyan). Of course there are many color names in paint/art, but even in everyday situations there is a pretty clear concept of turquois

Yeah the activated carbon filter in my commercial purifier is just a sheet that sits in front of the filter. You can buy one and duct tape it to the DIY solution. It has to be vacuumed regularly and eventually replaced. Also there doesn&#x2

The US outsourced virus research to this lab. The US will share some blame, because gain-of-function research is stupid in the first place. Is this part of the misdirection? Both sides do not want to know. Or let's say powerful interes

Why do you think "war with China" is a potential outcome of determining it was a lab leak? This is not a strong argument. Regardless of all these wild pontifications, those who have run interference on the truth need to suffer the

It's not irrelevant at all, you mentioned them yourself, and he spent more time discussing lithium metal. What's irrelevant is your nervousness.

No, the NFTs are a separate thing which apparently has some sort of sentimental value. The digital artwork is still whatever it was before. I could sell an NFT for my cuckoo clock. It has nothing to do with my cuckoo clock.

Eh, old people can be weird and stubborn. (Or people in general.) Some don't really believe in something and might even be having early stage dementia (i.e. memory loss). My own mother had a dismissive attitude towards dietary intolera

I don't agree with Apple here but I also don't feel too outraged either, I can see both sides and it's their store. I actually think Windows/MacOS should build the most commonly used sleep-gating functionality into the O

"Now you got a big problem, because neither Intel, AMD or Nvidia are going to license their intellectual property to Dell or HP for them to make an SoC for their machines." This isn't quite correct. AMD and Nvidia have made c

The culture starts at the top. It's the CEO who is accountable whether the org large or small. With a sprawling org like Google I sometimes wonder how you could ever expect the CEO to be fully engaged on all of it. It is probably just

Yes, even today the billionaires have set things up so that their children inherit most of their wealth, and these families kill all the other humans.

"humans were far too heavy to fly and in any case lacked feathers" Science has certainly not "marched past" the issue of life (or health) extension. Knowing that it is related to cancer or whatever does not end the story
