Only when they have gathered for the ritual at the annointed hour, when the cleric speaks the incantation does the transubstantiation occur, that they may feast upon the flesh and blood of their god.…
From a philosophical perspective, if your goal in life is to be happy, you will find it to be temporary at best or illusory. Better to strive for a meaningful life, with all the highs and lows that come with it. You…
Articulating why a certain function is bad design or is actively harmful is not the same as gatekeeping. I have lost opportunities because I chose to follow my ethics over my bank account. I do not regret those…
I can't think of anything more demoralizing than being hired simply to warehouse my talent to keep me out of competitors' shops while feeding me bullshit go-nowhere projects or leaving me to twiddle my thumbs.
You are 100% spot on. States are weakening worker and child protection laws around the country. Destroying oversight of child protection: no need to check that kids are at least 16 before they are hired in Arkansas.…
And it isn't for the peons doing all the work...
Thanks, though there are Mexican militias in the US. The Brown Berets (Los Boinas Café) were not a gang, they were a militia. On another note, if anyone could provide any hints as to why my comment made in good faith…
It's hard to give up the black oil, er, soda. I don't really like plain water. I can't take anything with most artificial sweeteners, they are migraine triggers for me. I bought a SodaStream, a 10 lb. bottle of CO2 and…

You're right, probably not harmful at all: "The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said some or all of the emails deemed to implicate “special access programs” related to U.S. drone strikes. Those who sent…
Yes, USA. Damage and behavior was disclosed. I was told by my insurance company that the problem was "in my head" as the vehicle's body and alignment were within specifications and their road test found no issues. This…
I've had a car in a crash that should've been totaled. I was rear-ended by a truck while stopped about two months after my previous car was totaled (t-boned by an drunk driver). The insurance company balked at a 2nd…
Try making friends outside of work when you get older. It's hard. Really hard. It takes on average 200 hours of interaction for people to become "good friends". As an introverted, very private person, I would say that's…
I have a UV index card I keep in my wallet (for no good reason). If you are receiving a UV index of 3 or higher on your skin, it is sufficient to induce endogenous production of vitamin D.
>Seems like everything old is new again. I remember reading similar things in misc.fitness.weights about 20 years ago, and a workout routine called Hypertrophy Specific Training was the suggestion. The idea is to do…
The true freedom of living under a bridge because you have no income? The tech bros are not coming to save humanity from the toil of labor. There will not be a post-scarcity society where everyone's basic needs will be…
That would seem likely, as loneliness and social isolation have a much higher risk of mortality whether they have underlying conditions or not.
So what you're saying is that before the invention of the lamp, people had respite from work. Worker productivity has increased enormously in the last 100 years. My job entails putting good people out of work through…
Sorry? Could you please identify what, specifically, you found homophobic about the comment? I think your comment reflects more upon you than it does upon my comment.
Like I said, don't take it the wrong way, I've been snobbish, too. I spent a lot of money over the years chasing the "best" gaming experience. I've seen VR come and go since Sega's VR Shades that never made it to…
I think it's actually good that Oculus has an easy-to-use solution for people without an expensive gaming computer. That will attract a wider range of people to VR so they can get their feet wet without spending…
Now that Ethereum moved to Proof of Stake, the price of high end graphics cards has descended from the stratosphere. A 12GiB 3080 is around $700USD, that's $300-500 cheaper than an Index or Vive Pro. VR will be…
I'm not a fan, this looks like terrible advise. If you want to do high quality work, solder header pins onto the board and use crimp-connectors on your lead wires. I don't use flux-core wire, I prefer to apply flux…
One person's established religion is just someone else's cult. They all engage in indoctrination and belief in magical thinking with absolutely no proof in the existence of its deity or deities.
