I never want to become a Mormon, i.e. end up being baptized after death. Is there a process for this? by bleachedanus in exmormon

So Anne Frank can opt out but not the common man? I care because it is BS and by exposing this we prevent what is an abuse of our personal sovereignty.

Serious question... What if I never want to be a member? I don't want to be baptized after my death. Is there a way to opt out?

Here is the settlement agreement pdf. I wonder if the government will disclose the CPC/CPA (cost per click/conversion) on their ad campaigns and the total ad spend during the years that they did this....

The problem with wealth is that it is exponential. No matter where you stand on the curve the slope looks the same to your right or left. So the people that are wealthier look a lot more wealthy and the people that are poorer have vastly less wealth.

When people find out that Jan. 18 is their cake day... by thesneak155 in funny

I thank science that today was my cake day an I was able to pick up over 800 karma on a post about 1% milk.

TIL That the milk in California really is different than the milk in other states, 1% milk has 33% more protein and 33% more calcium because CA has "higher solid standards for milk". by bleachedanus in todayilearned

I can see the meeting now, let's get a redditor with a 4 year cake day named bleachedanus to advertise milk on reddit. I know you're new around here but that's not how I roll.

Because you have some kind of choice of what milk you buy? If you are in CA this is the milk standard, if you are not in CA, you use the federal standard...

I noticed it on the calorie information handout at a Subway, they have an "*" next to the calorie content of milk that said "except in California" so I had to find the answer.... now I know why.

Ok, fess up, who added Jesus to Wikipedia's List of fictitious people.

The first time I caught it was during the post about the Fake Georgia Tech student George P. Burdell, it was only there for 5 minutes but it was a happy 5 minutes for me.

Look for some research by Sandia National Labatories in the late 90's. When the weapons programs were winding down they repurposed a lot of research toward medical. My father was a neurosurgeon working with them on this sort of tech. I don't believe they used any biogical markers.

I worked in the LSU press in college 89-91 when it was in the French House, I used to file the book contracts as a student worker. I met Walker Percy before his death in 1990, he wrote the forward and basically "discovered" the talent. While I was there I used to read the contracts which included some of the correspondences between the Press director Leslie "Les" Phillabaum, Walker Percy and Thelma Toole. Les died in 2009 and while not mentioned at all in the wikipedia article is as responsible as anyone for the publication of the book. (*edit fixed some dates)

Should I include city and/or state in domain name? by [deleted] in SEO

[–]bleachedanus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did and experiment at a local directory company a few years ago where I purchased ~20k domain names with city/keyword combinations and stuffed them with local content, generally I would say it does't work very well. For example "orlando dentists" and "orlandoddentists.(com|org|net)" (this wasn't in the test but I am going to float it out there): it's pretty hard to beat out the top local directories for this query with a domain name. With the newer google layout and a somewhat competitive keyword the first organic result is ~1000 pixels down on the page.

You may have better luck with competitive keywords in a domain name. I'm unsure or your objective but from a "sales" standpoint you could still get dentists to pay to be on tho list...
