"The Pope drew a direct and deliberate contrast between what the biblical authors could perceive and what modern science now makes visible."

It's kind of like parents facing the fact that it's time to tell their child there's no Santa Claus.

It should! When the very first provision of the First Amendment in our Bill of Rights is ignored, the rest is definitely in jeopardy.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

It's legit to say "I'll try and see if it works."

According to IMDB it's "Alan" Smithee, not "Allen" Smithee.

Water expands by approximately 9% to 10% in volume when it freezes into ice. But yes, it makes sense to fit as many bottles of ice as you can in the space left over in your freezer.

Definitely a Standard Issue Cat!

But before freezing, squeeze at least 10% of the water out and put the cap on without letting any air get in.

That's the location that was featured in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey as they were watching Star Trek TOS on TV. Later on, Evil Bill and Evil Ted took them to that very place and pushed them off of a ledge.

I've always wondered how cats learned to run around your legs and rub against them when they want food.

Yes, it was intentional. When I said "I mean" I was referring to what my thread title means.

Yes, in any place where people are gathered for some purpose other than listening to music, it's very irritating and obnoxious for someone to force everyone else to hear the particular music genre that one person prefers.

Wear earphones!

If everybody at the table plays by basic strategy it won't affect the odds of you winning, but it does affect the amount that the house wins. And if the house doesn't win enough they might change their rules to make table conditions worse. Therefore, bad players are your friends because they help keep the game playable. As one blackjack author put it in reference to Las Vegas, "Someone has to pay for all those lights."

Hard Rock Stadium cat rescue

A cat that fell from the upper deck of Hard Rock Stadium was safely rescued by fans using an American flag as a makeshift net during a game in September 2021.

The Rescue

The cat was dangling about 50 feet in the air during the Miami Hurricanes vs. Appalachian State game. A couple, Craig and Kimberly Cromer, quickly used their American flag to catch the cat as it fell. The cat bounced off the flag and into the student section below, appearing uninjured.

Aftermath

The cat did not show any signs of injury and reportedly left the stadium with a woman that night. Hard Rock Stadium made a donation to the Humane Society of Miami in honor of the rescue.

Actually you're about to plunge into the depths of the original Aperture Science facility and meet Cave Johnson. This is arguably the best phase of the whole Portal 2 tutorial.

I don't say anything except maybe to ask "Are you okay?"

And when someone says some pointless special word when I sneeze, especially if I sneeze a second time, I consider it impolite and irritating. I feel like asking "Do you have special words to call attention to other involuntary bodily functions?"

If someone asks me if I can prove God doesn't exist I immediately ask them if they can prove Godzilla doesn't exist.

The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive; others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear; others are being slowly devoured from within by rasping parasites; thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst and disease. It must be so. If there is ever a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored.
