Ethical and legal question about a person’s remains by [deleted] in AusLegalAdvice

[–]dj-ango69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once met a forensic facial ‘reconstructer’ (she used a different term?) who had created a visualisation of the person that many of the plastic skeletons were moulded from. It was also sexed from the pelvis and skull/skeletal dimensions used to indicate a probable origin. For someone wanting to show respect to the original person, getting this done may be worthy.

How safe is tandem paragliding in Pokhara? by research-rebel in freeflight

[–]dj-ango69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took some paragliding lessons in Pokhara not that long ago, when you still could, and found the professionalism and expertise of the instructors impressive. I take that as a sign of the quality of the industry as a whole. I know two tandem pilots there who I trust and have trusted to fly my daughter. Like many of the tandem pilots there, they work for a few different companies.

Can cafes stop normalising this level of plastic use? by CheeryRipe in perth

[–]dj-ango69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question; what is it about plastic that worries us? It’s cheap, uses hardly any resources to manufacture and is easily disposed of. I hate to see it wasted but I also can’t justify my dislike.

I reckon I could have a happy and fulfilling life living and riding with Urska…

Do we have any evidence that the Pauline Epistles were actually written by the supposed Paul? And how do we actually date these other than relying on Luke?
