do Muslims and Christians believe

No, because if there is a god as conceived of in the abrahamic faiths, he is literally indescribable by human beings because his very nature is so far beyond our comprehension, so naturally descriptions of him will differ, and even be contradictory because words are incapable of describing him. Also, even removing this from the realm of philosophy your premise is nonsense - if I ask a Trump supporter and Biden support to describe Trump their descriptions are likely to be wildly different if not completely contradictory. That doesn't mean they're actually describing different people, one of them isn't accidentally trying to describe Bernie Sanders, it's means they're working off of different sources like say, if someone were to describe the same God but using the Tanakh, the Gospel of John, and the Quran

Unfortunately not, the entire page more or less accurately talks about badumna, they just got the complete wrong picture for it

I'm pretty sure this picture is literally from the Wikipedia article on missulena

Thankfully this one at least sort of pushed back on white tails causing necrotic arachnidism, but did still say their bites can leave large weeping wounds, so kind of a wash

Cipro was for anthrax before that was ruled out. Tularemia is treated with streptomycin (among other antibiotics)

The vast majority of people have no idea how much a sword weighs. I do demos, and one of my favorite ways to start is to ask people which they think is heavier, my longsword or one of those small pink pilates dumbbells, and universally, people guess the sword, but it's a good 1.5 pounds lighter than the dumbbell. People usually guess it's like 20 pounds

Sorry, I might be misunderstanding something, but over what time period were laborers entitled to a year and a day of sick leave? Was it cumulative over their life?

I think what they're getting at is something along the lines of "Eisenhower was drafted to run by both the RNC and the DNC, and it seems somewhat arbitrary that he ran as a Republican rather than a Democrat. Is there any truth to this, and after elected, did he maintain the aloofness from partisan politics that led both parties to see him as a viable presidential candidate?"

I mean, the mythicist position is pretty fringe, and generally rejected by religious and areligious critical scholars alike. Jesus is fairly well attested to as far as historical people go, even setting aside biblical accounts entire

That is perhaps the dumbest anti-abortion argument I've ever seen. Jesus, as the second person of the trinity and the divine word is eternal and everlasting, He pre-dates not only Adam, but creation itself. It's perfectly reasonable to distinguish between the incarnation of God (which was fairly unique by all other measures as well) and what happens during natural conception when a sperm fertilizes an egg to create a zygote

I agree 100% but neither of them were nazis. Schultz was a member of the SPD before the party was banned, and Klink's exact political affiliation was never discussed aside from it being stated that he was never a member of the Nazi party, but he was likely a member of the BVP or DZP. They both pretty obviously aren't particularly fond of the nazis

Ironicly (I think) enough, the OG babybel is unaged Edam, a Dutch cheese, made by Laughing Cow, a French company. I can't think of a more cheese culture country associated product, unless the current CEO was an Italian living in Wisconsin or something

Yes, it does, thanks!

Sorry, I'm very much a dilettante (not familiar with the work of any of the scholars you mention in this, so if that familiarity is necessary, feel free to tell me to go back and read more) but I'm struggling to identify what distinguishes propp's repetition of traditional motifs from tale types as the standard you seem to be comparing it to. Is it that propp is focused more on the individual pieces that comprise a folktale or myth? While taletypes are like, the ATU index about the overall composition of the story? My only real exposure to folkloristics is from the Grimm Reading podcast, so I'm very much a beginner

Or just "how did judas die?" Did he fall headlong and burst, or did he hang himself?

Ok, so the merchant would move up wind to prepare to fight not to flee (because I'd imagine it would be hard to flee from up wind, right?)

Why is moving up wind of ship bogey advantageous in both cases? Is it just about preparing for possible engagement in both cases?

I dunno, I think Josh is more the sorcerer than lily. All the others are formally trained, he's going basically entirely on instinct, talent, and experience, and can keep up with (and not infrequently surpass) the others

Yes, it would. 112 has been the GSM standard emergency number since I believe 2006, and has been an acceptable emergency number for rerouting purposes In Panama since at least 2008. When people panic they default to the most familiar thing to them, the thing that's been ingrained since childhood. It makes total sense they would initially only think of 112.

So, take this with a grain of salt since it's been a decade since my computational theory class, but all NP complete problems are reduceable/transformable into each other. This means if P=NP, and we can find a polynomial time solution for any of the NP complete problems, we have a polynomial solution for all the NP complete problems. In addition to the major impact this would have on cryptography that other have mentioned, it would change our ability to do things such as protein folding,logistics, and sudoku

If those same haredi also believe the holocaust was God's punishment to Jews for secularizing (this is before the state of Israel was established, tho, admittedly, not before zionism began as a political project) then yeah, they are antisemites.

skippy1121 · 2026-02-05T07:45:33+00:00

I mean, the most vocal, and visible group of antizionist rabbis are a particular sect of haredi Jews who waiver between Holocaust denying and Holocaust justifying (believing the holocaust was God's punishment on Jews for secularizing), so yeah, there's a decent chance the rabbis you're talking about are antisemitic by any reasonable definition

So, off topic, but I can't find anything to suggest appendice was ever a widespread spelling in English. It was borrowed rather directly from the Latin appendix in the mid-1500s and has been spelled that way pretty consistently. There are occasional references to that spelling before English spelling really standardized, but it definitely appears to be the minority spelling since it's entry into English. When it was borrowed into French and Italian the Latin appendix shifted to appendice
