Disgusting.

Two please.

Ah, we were taught to avoid the NIV as it was like the Merrium-Webster of translation; a bit more adapted for the modern Pentecost, so obviously it would be lenient compared to traditional translations.

You shall make no idols to yourselves; and you shall not set up for yourselves graven images, or a memorial pillar. And you shall not set up any image of stone in your land in order to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.

He went pretty ape shit about the golden cow—as believable any part of that story goes. Catholics seem to be all about idoloc knick-knacks and getting all stabby and controlling over them… Like, the opposite of what a Christian is meant to do.

It’s hard to tell if it was/is logistically effective vs. everyone shitting in it because that’s trendy rn.

With knowing absolutely nothing, I can only assume it’s an excellent concept that will (unfortunately) help a lot in a broad range of situations.

At the moment, plenty of creases to iron out, but it’s not a failure and humanitarian aid can definitely bolster with it.

Gee. Would hate to be the crew meant to be returning on that thing. Was a bit of a shitshow getting up there.

I think it’s worse here.

“The grass is blue.”

“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”

“Oh.”

“The grass is blue.”

“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”

“Bro, your own source says it’s the chemicals in grass that make it green LOL.”

“That’s correct.”

“So you think just because it appears green from the chemicals, it’s green?”

“Yes. It’s certainly not blue.”

“Actually without the chemicals it would be translucent which would be reflective of the sky, making it blue like how the ocean does.”

“Sure. Except there’s chemicals that make it green instead.”

“I don’t see how you’re not understanding how stupid that is. It’s not the grass that’s green.”

“And in your analogy it’s not the grass that’s blue.”

“You clearly don’t understand science and I pity you. I won’t waste any more of my time. Good day, sir.”

It sounds like you just did, but you’re playing it off.

Dean Buchanan?

“Ohh, you’re a Dean.”

“Yep.”

“Wow. You must know your academia.”

“Did you know they put horse urine on buildings to stain the copper domes?”

“That’s so interesting…”

You gotta remember World Wars take a bit to warm up first. Skirmish here, escalation there, lots of sitting on thumbs for a while, and then everyone piles in after the rate of occupation starts to get out of hand and the aggressors show deft multi-tasking skills.

A collection of reactions from the oil industry…

No, datum is the noise after launching Netflix.

I’ve cleaned my shoes ≠ His shoes are clean now.

The only thing linking the two statements are lines drawn from the shows, not language.

But with arms that short and legs so long, I get his expression of great accomplishment.

The dilution of “anger from China”.

It’s as long a running joke as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China’s_final_warning

Seriously, they could be genuine some day. Like warn the world against some major catastrophe, but we’ll assume that if China’s upset, it’s nothing to worry about or may even be something we want to happen.

And how did the planet handle their diet? Just nibble on the plentifully available 2km tall bags of crisps?1

There’s a few birds I love. Their calls, how they behave. It’s especially great out at camp and they show up in the morning. Just sit there and enjoy their company.

So, I totally get it. I’d never get to the levels of going out to pursue it, but sometimes I’m in a situation where bird watching is more interesting than people watching—and we all love that.

I’m good with warning labels, so long as I can take most of them off. You know the ones, they make you yearn for the backstory, but also make you depressed every time you see it. Like this one. Many people would know things surrounding fire are hot. Plenty would’ve unintentionally touched it, “Fuck! Ow. Duh.” and hope no one saw. But someone had a Skinner moment, “No! It’s the manufacturer that’s wrong. Where’s a lawyer?!”

My Laphund hauls me on a longboard. He gets into a really good long-distance pace while I also assist with kick pushes uphill or on slow surfaces.

Bungee leash, bit of mushing wax on the paw pads, great way to cover the 10km lake circuit. The breed loves pulling for starters, but I think he loves the freedom of running around in “the wild” and covering such distance. He does big hikes too, but obviously only gets to go walking pace, so the “mushing” lets him cut loose.
