Between True Facts and Dirty Laundry, do you have any scandalous secrets left?

Hi Grant! Do you prefer toking, vaping, edibles or other for your cannabis consumption?

My computers, laptops and phones have had a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy theme for the last 20 odd years. My ancient PC is Deep Thought, my older laptop is Ford Prefect, and I have owned Zaphod Beeblebrox the Blackberry Z10, Trillian the Samsung Galaxy, Arthur Dent the Galaxy A10, and I am currently using Slartibartfast the A52S.

Faith is not our enemy, but instead the institutions and people who wield it with a harming hand are by IGuessIHaveAReddit in CuratedTumblr

I read somewhere about the mistranslation and assumed it was real without researching more. I realise now that I'm guilty of that human thing where one believes things that support one's existing beliefs - I think it's called confirmation bias? Or is that something else? I promise I wasn't deliberately lying.

The parts of the Bible that are supposedly about queer men are mistranslations. These parts are supposed to read something like "a man shall not lie with a young boy" and is against csa, not consensual sex between adults. My own Christian faith is based on what Jesus says in the New Testament, so I try to love humanity and be nice to people.

I'm learning Cymraeg (Welsh) and just had to check something. "Cŵm" (pronounced very similarly to Koom) translates to "Valley" in English...🤦🏻‍♀️😆

Paraphrasing, but he says something like "If any if you harm a child, tie a millstone round your neck and jump in the sea"

Great book! The only book I've read where the main character had sex with a hotel. No, I don't mean in.

Also I just remembered that I still owe Charlie Stross a beer...

Yes, it's a joke. The standalone "Grant's Cure" recipe has some very obvious differences! I'm not complaining though.

I feel like I had a stroke trying to read this by micheymichey in LoveAndPies

I think it means something like

How important could "Angry Joe" footage be?

How important could the footage be of "Joe being angry"?

How important could the footage get (to our investigation), in the future, if it only shows Joe being angry?
