Yes, indeed, there's always some portion of a saint (or something having touched a saint) in the altar, stemming from the early days of the Roman church when, during Roman persecutions, the church would hold Mass/Divine Liturgy ov

I'm not sure why it would be unexpected. Almost any Catholic cathedral of any import (even the new ones) bury people immediately underneath the floors. It's part of the planning of any church. It would have been even more common a

Is it so unreasonable to believe that Hunter Biden, who grew up in Delaware and whose father has to live in delaware, since he has been the senator from delaware for almost fifty years, ended up with a laptop in need of repair in Delaware?

It doesn't really matter though, because in California, the state constitution explicitly states that privately owned spaces open to the public (so twitter) must guarantee freedom of expression. The case law is pretty absolute and sett

If it's more complicated than 'move this one file from folder A to folder B' it gets very complicated very fast. On linux, the 'normal' way to move files is using the terminal using 'mv'. On Windows, the t

(1) I do have children, (2) your statements assume, without possibility of falsification, that such mental illness is not at all due to environmental factors. This unfalsifiable nature makes these statements religious in nature, so I'm

I would imagine there's a U shaped curve. If you have too little and can't feed yourself / meet basic needs, I imagine suicide is a problem. If you have too much and can't spend time with your kids because you're wo

It's sad but when I read about children who are 'precocious', I think either their parents are driving them too hard, or (because of the example of a 4th grade boy bringing a girl to a school event...) there's been some

I think you should give the guy above the benefit of the doubt and restrict yourself to ST. IO and STM are different beasts, and still they're not imperative. The issue with IO and STM is global state. Mutation of global state can be d

ST is not 'imperative'. The monadic interface can look imperative sure, but then you can also use Applicative and friends and that's back to being functional. Of course, I prefer to think of what you call 'imperative&#x2
