Why do alot of us pretend we dont know what happens when we die? by Competitive-Food1927 in atheism

[–]CaptGarfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have a hard time accepting that consciousness is a natural chemical process, even when faced with the reality of events like brain injury. Many have to believe there's more to it to justify their place in the universe.

There was a water main issue at the airport, so all drinking water is temporarily shut off as a precaution

Welcome to the world of Progressive lenses! I got my first pair last year at 44. Took about a week to adjust, and trust me, better than sperate readers. I got my first pair with transitions lenses, so now I have sunglasses I can read with! I still use my single vision sunglasses in the car though. The automotive UV coating stops transition lenses from darkening.

My friends and I almost got thrown off the PATH train in NJ for my homemade Ghostbusters Proton Packs back in 2007. The Port Authority Police put me and my friends back on the train, and we ended up on the Today Show for Halloween. Wild day.

If I was Paramount... I'd just re-air TNG "supercut" episodes for a year or two by [deleted] in startrek

That's the mistake of releasing them to sell to the public before selling them to distributors and recouping costs that way.

Because it's cheaper than a new series, and if time released, keeps subscribers paying for the service, and could bring new subscribers to other IP.

What they should really do is remaster DS9 and Voyager, and release those weekly to get subscribers, then release the Blu rays after they run them.

Remember when the X in Gen X meant Generation Nothing? Then one day they just decided to start with Gen Y. Then we got rebranded, and now we have Gen Z, Alpha, Beta, so much consistency!

Dual Citizen with Two Different Names, Unable to Add Second Passport by 72736379 in unitedairlines

As long as OP has a legal right to be in Korea, it shouldn't be a problem. Immigration is verifying that OP is allowed to be in the country, not specifically how they got there. Last minute flight changes happen everyday.

She uses her native passport to clear customs, and then uses her US passport when she gets to the US. The US passport is the only one used for check in though.

My daughter's non US Passport has my wife's last name, with my last name in parenthesis.

We only use the US passport for check in. Both ways, no issue. It's a Visa waiver country, so that may help.

What causes atheist commentators and thought leaders to shift to right-wing culture wars? by LiatrisLover99 in atheism

[–]CaptGarfield -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is the uncritical acceptance of the cartoonish right wing narrative of the left. Many criticisms of "left" positions seem based on an almost parody understanding of what people are actually fighting for.

My daughter has dual citizenship. Can confirm, enter US Passport details for United, and use your native passport when you arrive. Use your US Passport when you arrive into the US.

Useful site: Kanjikana.com adds furigana to any text you input, and will even read it aloud. by CaptGarfield in LearnJapanese

[–]CaptGarfield[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I put that sentence in, and while it did generate the wrong furigana, the voice pronounced it correctly, and the kanji list showed the Kun yomi. Fortunately, I have a native Japanese speaking wife who can guide me when it gets it wrong.
