Thanks, it turns out I didn’t know what goth music was.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
I don’t think it’s accurate to only indicate the Roman catholic church. The creation of the bible was a process of curation and editing intentional and accidental.
But the Roman catholic church is defo responsible for the inclusion of the Johannine Comma in the KJV.
- Comment on To independently invent the concept of writing in which sounds are encoded into symbols from which an infinite number of words can be assembled, you must be a genius 6 days ago:
I think it’s unclear if it was developed wholly indepently or if it was done after some exposure to European writing.
IMO it’s likely to be undecipherable because of small sample size, and the probability that the sample we do have was from a period of rapid evolution.
- Comment on I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers 2 weeks ago:
Me friend recently told me she was caned (rapped with a ruler to be more specific) on the back of her hand for writing on the chalkboard with her left hand.
1989 Anglican Sunday school in rural Canada. They never went back.

The third option that’s like a combination of the two.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 4 weeks ago:
Ambient air temp when the bottle is cooling probably also plays a role, more or less shrink before it “freezes”
Yeah I agree with that. Also maybe inconsistency with the plastic batch.
But also milk jugs are blown directly from pellets, no threaded blank. Water bottles and pop bottles go from threaded blanks though.
I don’t remember seeing washing but I guess that would be on the filling side, (jugs are made on one side of the plant then go through a wall to the clean side) I don’t think I’ve seen that for milk.
- Comment on The ID_10_ts 4 weeks ago:
I was wondering that too, fake redaction on false allegations and unverifiable allegations, real redaction on allegations that can be corroborated.
- Comment on Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? 1 month ago:
I think they might. We should find someone from Dunedin.
- Comment on Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? 1 month ago:
They reference sleighs because they are (were) a practical and fun way of getting around in winter. Sleighs are associated with Santa but the songs aren’t about his sleigh.
- Comment on Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? 1 month ago:
Lots of Christmas songs are actually just winter songs.
Frosty the snowman
Jingle bells
Winter wonderland
Sleigh ride

What is that like 10am on Christmas day?
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 1 month ago:
The sooner they hire someone the less time they spend understaffed and the more they have to pay whoever the hire. It’s not a huge difference but it is also not zero.
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 1 month ago:
It just won’t affect the company whatsoever.
When does a company decide to recruit? It’s when current employees can’t handle the workload and/or move projects ahead on schedule.
Not being recruited increases the hiring cycle time and means the development falls further behind schedule.
It’s not nothing.
- Comment on There should be a "last used combination" faucet handle for sinks so you don't have to balance hot and cold everytime during winter 2 months ago:
Yeah, and obviously if the ‘hot’ water isnt hot, there isn’t anything it can do.
- Comment on YSK: A simple trick to keep your bananas ripe for a lot longer. 2 months ago:
A single person could just use each strategy with half of their bananas each time.
- Comment on YSK: A simple trick to keep your bananas ripe for a lot longer. 2 months ago:
There’s just no way to know! It’s impossible for a lone person to generate even a single data point.

1 trillion dollars is like $3000 per american right? How can they have that much money to pay him?

Hey I just thought you might be interested to know Dan McClellan elaborated on why he blocked Inspiring Philosophy in a recent video around minute 11.
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 3 months ago:
Same model year doesn’t mean same condition.
A used car with lower mileage, documented service history, and a dealer warranty is worth a lot more than one without those things.
But also OP is right insurrance will generally offer the least they think they can get away with.
