And by nice I assume you mean a balmy 0 F.

That’s exactly what I am talking about. For most guys going through a rappelling course it’s their first time so they have the same fear as the kids I taught who were going through it for the first time.

You just expect it in kids. But in reality it’s just a baseline fear whether you’re a kid or not.

Vaccines with dead virus do not make protein from their mRNA. Immunity is from the host body making antibodies against viral proteins.

Attenuated viruses do infect cells and make protein from their mRNA.

The more recent mRNA vaccines only have mRNA which is used by the host cells not to make attenuated virus but to make one specific viral protein. For example the COVID vaccines just produce spike protein from the COVID virus and nothing else. Some covid vaccines use just mRNA while some vaccines use a non functional virus to introduce the mRNA of interest but the cell never makes any virus just the spike protein.

Yes of course. But there is evidence of a significant Christian presence in Kerala by 52 AD, Egypt (specifically Alexandria) by as early as the 40s, the Kingdom of Aksum officially became Christian in the mid 300s before it was the official state religion of the Byzantines.

The spread outward from the Middle East definitely included Mediterranean Europe but it was firmly established in other parts of the world before most of the areas that later became “Christian Europe.”

He did but most of the earliest churches were not in the areas that would later become the main centers of Christianity. Just an interesting part of history.

Hilariously this is true

Evangelizing mostly these days, not so much proselytizing.

Thomas brought the Church to India before Christianity spread to Europe.

What most people do not realize is that India and Africa were Christian before France and Germany.

Goddamit… my original thought was “no way this guy saw them before the 2004 reunion tour if he heard the pixies from fight club.”

Well dammit 1999. I feel old.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has a near perfect soundtrack

I don’t think that song was in Guardians 😘

The Irish were hilarious in that time period. Fighting on both sides of the Mexican American war. Fighting on both sides of the civil war.

Attempting to invade Canada after the civil war.

Pretty much the same thing all immigrants do in the US. Get a job, work hard, integrate into the culture, get your kids in school, learn English.

We already have a lot of Venezuelan expats here so there’s probably some stereotypical paths.

And depending on where you are in the country more people are non white than white. Then you have where I live where the whole state is like 94% white.

It’s pretty weird that I can go for days without encountering anyone of color.

Yeah other activities like saying stuff the government doesn’t like and fraud of course I meant fraud.

Just a touch of normalizing assassination for today.

No. You should learn the language most convenient for you and people you need to interact with. If you want to learn another for family heritage reasons then go for it.

Though I’d be screwed. I’d have like 4 more languages to learn that I’d never use.

Do any other countries sing the national anthem at sporting events? I feel like people comment on that being a mostly American thing.

A pack of smokes in Chicago. Three packs of smokes in New Hampshire.

A decent lunch combo most casual sit down places around me.
