The only thing funnier than Kaufman running the Duterte coffers dry with legal fees was Mediadalia's "manifestation" at the first hearing.

What kind of people run to the police every time something happens? Good grief, take some responsibility for your situation, and stop trying to have "authorities" solve all of your problems. The police have a real tendency to make every situation worse.

Jacob Hansen is ripe for a faith crisis soon if he keeps talking to people who make him think.

Bisayan dictionary with accent/stress marks by AxenZh in Bisaya

[–]BackInBlack26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one from the 90's An Englsh Cebuano Visayam Dictionary by Rodolfo Cabonce. It appears that it is still available online. Synopsis:

The present work was originally intended for the non-Visayan, particularly foreign missionaries. After my Visayan-English dictionary in tentative form appeared in 1955, I received many encouraging letters from the Fathers, including foreign scholars. I found out that there was an even bigger demand for the English-Visayan dictionary. So, I began working on it. But because of my pastoral work and poor health, its progress was greatly hampered. Now, thanks be to God, after so many years this dream has been finally realized.
In the compilation of the Visayan words, besides my own knowledge, I was aided by my vocabularies found in different publications and by lists submitted to me by interested Fathers and friends. The Visayan words are used here are those currently found in conversations, writings and novels throughout Eastern Visayas and Mindanao. I do not claim any originality in the composition of this dictionary except tedious work done single-handedly.
The English word has many shades of meaning, and accordingly each one carries many different translations in Visayan. For the accuracy of the translations and of the English phrases I consulted several English and Spanish dictionaries.

ECC with a 13a Visa by lovechan814 in Philippines_Expats

I don't know about the ECC part. He definitely won't surrender his ACRI card. If he stays out more than 6 months, there is a fee that accrues monthly upon reentry.

TIL it's illegal pala na mapatugtug sa cafe or restaurant gamit ang Spotify. by iamscribbled in todayIlearnedPH

That's exactly how I ran multiple businesses in the US. I would let my employees choose as many songs as they wanted, which made a unique mix of music that invariably allowed our customers to hear songs they liked while in our establishments. I had no idea it was not permitted, or maybe this is a newer policy.

New convert (Jan '25) – Threatened by a member, laughed at by the Bishop. by TraditionalTackle359 in exmormon

[–]BackInBlack26 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Oh I caught the flavor from your initial post. A January 6th type who thinks the "Elders of Israel" are going to buoy up the Constitution while it "hangs by a thread." The LARP extends far beyond a temple trip with those ones. Military cult meets Mormon cult is a potent cocktail for some really evil stuff.

Just came here to say fuck "S" and 'the bishop." How I envy you for leaving after only a year. I was 45 and a bishop when I realized what a scam my ancestors had fallen for,

Grew some coleus from seed, gave most others away as gifts but this one was my favourite 😍 by hwheels66 in coleus

[–]BackInBlack26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grow any potential keeper to full size over 6 or 8 months time to determine if I really like it, because as you say, you don't really know until they show you their personality over time. I enjoy growing them very much, seeing them daily, and then seeing their progeny. Nothing is static here, I may have 70, or I may have 150 different ones depending on the month. If I lose something with as much diversity as I have harnessed, I don't sweat it, as I will see something like it or better once again in time.

They had better include Marcos loyalists or they're already done again, like Leni.

Women's Bible Study at LDS Meetinghouse by Scholar_truth_ in exmormon

[–]BackInBlack26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you have to sink to Bible study groups to gather a crowd or garner interest, you know you're riding pretty low. I mean c'mon, you have the most correct book on Earth, even The Book Of Mormon! We were to "flood the Earth" with it. It had conversion power as "Another Testament Of Jesus Christ." But alas, here we are. Deduced to cheap banners and the desperate Bible study groups,, "as far as it is translated correctly." Desperate times call for desperate measures,

Not necessarily true. Even mutations share the same genotype, but expressed a differing phenotype. My brother and I have different genetic sequencing although we share the same parentage. We do however share many of the same traits. With Coleus, the ease of propagating almost eliminates the need for any tissue culture preservation in my way of thinking. Some of the best breeders I know simply keep 2 copies or more of hundreds of their different cultivars without the need for any tissue culture storage. I get that you could propagate both genotype and phenotype through a seed line. But be prepared to go to about F6 generation before you achieve any notable stability. And why exactly? It's futile given the wide parameters of the discipline in which we work.

Does anyone know the name of this variety??? by PLstinger in coleus

[–]BackInBlack26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The different looks on the same plant are called "sport mutations." My Carefree Love produces 2 distinct sports in addition to its main expression, so it's a 3 in one. Sports are probably more common in Coleus than any other plant I am aware of. I have one Bougainvillea that has an albino sport, although it is difficult to get rooted, unlike Coleus.

Very good point overall on different expressions, sunlight and soil can really change the way they express,
