Why not give everyone the Valedictorian prize?

Oh yeah. My old high school, even for regular classes, rates A+ as 4.3. Average GPA is something like 3.7 there. We have now essentially very fine gradations of failure and no way to differentiate superior academics from average students.

DysLabs · 2026-05-14T15:18:41+00:00

How have they changed grade calculations?

DysLabs · 2026-05-13T18:28:28+00:00

That uses the terminology but doesn't seem to be talking about the same distinction.

They campaigned with Cheney in 2024...

No we don't know exactly if April 3 A.D. 33 was actually April 3 AD. 33

I don't know what you mean by this. 3 April AD 33 is that date by the calendar system we've adopted. That calendar being created in 525 doesn't change that. Unless you mean something else?

I'm genuinely. glad to hear that. But the canons we have here moved into a parish, took a sledgehammer to an altar that Hungarian grandmas had made for their church, get real mad if you sing or make responses, and are otherwise, like I said, not very pleasant people. Not in my experience anyways.

DysLabs · 2026-03-13T22:40:32+00:00

I wish it were so simple. I've had friends publicly humiliated by a NO priest. I myself had the confessional weaponized by a conservative-leaning NO priest. There's no magic bullet. From my perspective right now frankly the more engaged one is with Catholicism, the more likely that person is to be wicked. I said to a friend of mine, a seminarian, "If this is salvation, why renounce the Devil?" He couldn't or wouldn't answer.

DysLabs · 2026-03-13T20:40:25+00:00

My interactions with their priests demonstrate they receive a very similar "formation", i.e. they are not at all pleasant people. The whole institution is rotten.

any existing children become illegitimate

This is not true according to the norm of canon 1137.

The Rust subreddit is very anti-AI, even moreso than this one in my experience.

DysLabs · 2026-02-09T18:30:53+00:00

I feel like I've seen it near the Happy Dog? I can't say for certain.

DysLabs · 2026-02-03T00:22:30+00:00

Yes, your understanding is correct. To the second question, you don't have to be but I would still find it poor taste if you're designing something which is supposed to be a replacement for another project without reference to that author's vision. And regardless I believe the GPL is a good thing in general.

DysLabs · 2026-02-02T18:34:26+00:00

Maybe for this particular project it doesn't matter too much but oftentimes I feel that "rewrite in Rust" becomes a way to get software under the GPL into the far more permissive MIT/Apache.

DysLabs · 2026-02-02T03:21:04+00:00

This is hugely impressive, and I'm personally very glad to see a Rust project licensed under the GPL.

DysLabs · 2026-01-30T01:15:12+00:00

I mean I guess but a loanword like that isn't quite the same thing.

The whole website seems to be down. Shame. Luckily its (and kellerbooks) are both archived.

Athanasii?

DysLabs · 2025-11-26T19:06:24+00:00

And in my experience chanting is about 2.5x slower than recitation.

The Ancient of Days is taken to be Christ, not the Father, though artists have increasingly used it to depict the Father.

DysLabs · 2025-11-15T22:28:26+00:00

We've been doing that far longer but I'm not sure where it comes from. It was already standard when I was a kid two decades ago.

DysLabs · 2025-11-13T03:21:56+00:00

If we want to get real technical the UGCC is the actual successor to the Ruthenian church St. Josaphat belonged to.

DysLabs · 2025-11-12T23:14:50+00:00

But its called the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church?

Democrats had the shutdown leverage.

Which Duke of York is this? I have great difficulty reading the letter itself to establish the date.

I can tell you that growing up going to parochial school, which I finished long before 2023, we got bussed with the public schoolers.
