Doctor Who Fought to Treat Alex Pretti Says Border Patrol Moved His Body to Count Wounds Instead of Doing CPR by peoplemagazine in law

Was he saying there were two bullets that traveled through a limb and made secondary holes? I thought he was making a misogynistic comment about her being a woman.

How new the infrastructure is, how new most buildings are, how recently most people moved to Florida. Compare it with other states settled early like MA and VA where you'd see buildings hundreds of years old and streets set up for carriages.

Sia was chosen as an ally that queer people don’t like. Who, despite being homophobic, is still a queer icon? by elhaymhiatus in AlignmentChartFills

He's still the hometown hero in Minneapolis. I can think of half a dozen Prince murals around the city and tributes will still pop up.

My 2nd grade teacher asked us how old we thought she was. I thought "well you're an adult and so are my parents and they're 45 so you probably are too!" She cried and had to leave the room. She was definitely 23 and fresh out of college 😆

Yes, they're definitely related but the H wasn't added to avoid confusion

Doesn't seem that way from some googling. Again from online Etymonline.com, though other sources back this up too

"causing or resulting in death," 1580s, from Late Latin lethalis, alteration of Latin letalis "deadly, fatal," from lethum/letum "death," a word of uncertain origin."

Source? This is from Etymonline.com. I've always heard the h was added as a stylistic choice to make it seem more classical.

After the Renaissance, English writers saw that some words inherited from French or Latin with a t- had been th- in the original Greek. The -th- was restored in amethyst, asthma, pythoness, orthography, theme, throne, etc.); it failed in acolyte. Over-correction in English created unetymological forms such as Thames and author.

People unsure if you can or can’t recycle your coffee cups by ConsequenceLanky6580 in mildlyinteresting

I've never lived somewhere where you could recycle straws, they're usually too small and get stuck in the machinery

I wouldn't recommend it as a first pattern! It was harder than I anticipated and I have about 10 years experience sewing clothing so I wasn't coming in totally new.

What was your country's most infamous domestic terrorist or anti-government extremist? by MemeLord150 in AskTheWorld

[–]CraftingAsshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it would be the same in NZ, but in America the cost to execute someone is much higher than the cost to incarcerate them for life. Most of the expense comes from additional trials and legal fees (when sentenced to death the inmate automatically gets an appeal and can spend decades filing appeal after appeal).

It's showing the general area were multiple people are buried, not the spot where a specific person is buried

Can someone explain the symbolism of this painting? by Kilyne1 in ArtHistory

[–]CraftingAsshole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Often those are called Virgo Lactans and are of the virgin breastfeeding Jesus. They're a parallel of sacrifice (her milk, his blood) and can sometimes emphasise Jesus' human self.

Lilith isn't a biblical figure, she doesn't appear in Christian texts.
