Many academics believe Judaism was originally polygamist, according to r/academicbiblical. Interesting stuff.

>The only filter anyone has for this stuff is to actually read the Bible to know what is in there. Otherwise you’ll have no basis for questioning the weird things that people tell you.

True, but this is also how fundamentalism/evangelacism/etc came about. You have to choose what to believe regardless of how you read it.

Many Americans believe the earth is 6000 years old, which they derived from the bible.

>Firefox can't even open Bookmark manager in a new tab, whole bookmark feature hasn't improved in 15 years.

For me this is a strength.

I couldn't possibly agree more

I really do pray that this "modern", "flat" craze is just a fad.

I dream of a future when normal interfaces and drop-down menus return.

To use email.

It's pretty much what the words say. And it's likely what the authors meant.

Fellow T420s lover here. Yay us!

I thought I read about one such study. IIRC it said women use more personal pronouns in academic papers. Take with grain of salt.

Windows 3.1 at least didn't hide buttons and tabs from your eyes...

So that's what those thin units are in Hong Kong pics. I just figured they were regular AC.

Yes and x264 is such an improvement that it was worth it. HW support became nearly universal. DivX and Xvid didn't have that.

So it was kind of a magical codec upgrade and now it seems more incremental to me.

I agree. Strong emotions cause memories to imprint deeply. I would argue that the "lightbulb moment" may use this effect.

"Wifi and wires are cheaper" is your argument.

>The main benefit of cellular is when you're away from WiFi.

For you maybe.

The billions you mention are a result of government auctioning, it doesn't mean anything to users besides added cost.

I couldn't like Aero until I disabled opaqueness. Then it was good.

Doesn't the eye do some object tracking itself?

Water will shield you I suppose.

Sorry, but why are you asking?

Well they're already doing the B-21.

Google Talk was an instant messaging system that replaced others for many people. It was XMPP so you could use any client with it (Pidgin was popular). It was great because not everybody wants to use web based IM.

The thing is, what if the universe our simulation exists in has completely different laws of physics? It's almost impossible to speculate on I think.

Foobar2000 my friend

I don't know, it seems like running a router over USB kinda defeats the point.

Lol, that's probably where in the past explorer would just lock up. They probably just converted a spinlock into "return null".

I remember sometimes XP would do a full, multi-minute lockup (including keyboard) when the C drive was trying to recover a bad block.

Also, is it legal to posses a ROM that you own physically? I would think legal precedents for archiving or ripping (format conversion) might apply.

>And in a proper Chinese hotel, even orange juice in the breakfast table is hot.

I believe that is due to a cultural aversion to cold drinks.

He conquered the "known world", I believe is how it goes.

I'd like to point something out that I never see mentioned...

Some common medications make people hotter. Amphetamines, antidepressants, and some narcotic painkillers for example.

Know any places to work in NY? I've been thinking of moving to Brooklyn myself.

That is a most excellent explanation.
