I use it too. Tried a few different ones and like boost the best. I finally just paid for the non-ad tier. One time cost of 3.99. I would have been turned off by a subscription.

They’re relating what it feels like to be a college aged person during that time period. There are many parallels.

You’re right, that comparison is incongruent. And looking at it again, I can understand the dad’s reaction. It just struck me as funny that he said “almost hit” and then that the kid was two rooms away.

I see your point, it is fucked and if I were him, I’d probably be just as outraged about the risk to my child.

Respectfully, I don’t think that’s how I would react emotionally/psychologically. I’m sure I’m not alone here. I’m a lucky guy, but what’s the chance of space debris hitting my house twice at different times?

“It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,”

I mean, relative to coming from space I guess it almost hit his son. How does he feel about every car he drives past on a two lane road? “Oh shoot! Almost collided with that one too!”

You’re describing a fixed menu meal. That’s completely different from preparing meals to order.

Totally. That’s what I’m imagining, a 17 year old calling the minimum age to be president too high. Can’t even vote.

35 is “old”?

There are things in those books that are demonstrably true, but that doesn’t necessarily prove everything in them just as those things that are demonstrably false don’t necessarily disprove everything in them.

It’s just a matter of not being able to observe, measure, or physically test a god’s existence. From an objective standpoint, believing whether a god exists or not is still just a belief.

I’m only trying to show how a scientific person could compartmentalize their beliefs from their studies and to that end, I think we agree that they aren’t incompatible. What someone chooses to believe after that is up to them, because as you point out, there’s no peer reviewed published evidence one way or another.

The big difference is that many religious beliefs can’t be tested. They are just believed in faith. In science, nothing is believed. It’s all evidence based and tested. A scientist doesn’t have to reconcile their religious beliefs with their scientific ways because their beliefs are outside the realm of the scientific method. They accept that they don’t have a way to measure or test those things.

I asked my parents for wool socks for Christmas twenty years ago and they gave me a few pairs each of three or four different brands. The ones that have lasted the longest and include a lifetime warranty is Redhead from Bass Pro. I’ve only exchanged them once or twice. They’re tall and thick with high pile wool. I’ve worn a pair almost every day for probably nine months out of the year, sometimes year-round, ever since I got them.

As far as I can guess, stones of shungite estimated to be about two billion years old.

That’s not making sense to me. Would you be willing to find your sources? Larger particles would not spend more time in the air as far as I know. It’s almost like you’re claiming it’s better to sneeze wild straight out everywhere instead of into your elbow, handkerchief, or tissue.

Lighten up. This is no way to have a productive discussion. If you aren’t in the mood, then maybe you shouldn’t be commenting right now. Take a breather. We all have bad days. Hope you feel better.

I just told my wife Mint was shutting down and she gasped, frozen in shock. I was thinking she was taking it really hard. Took me a minute before I realized she thought I was talking about our favorite Indian restaurant.

Unsolicited free advice is often worth what you pay. Thanks for the strange effort in trying to find problems where there are none.

Why does this matter to you? You keep making assumptions and then trying to solve them as though it’s an issue. I’m just agreeing with OP that’s it’s easier to eat salad with chopsticks and especially for someone who has a beard. If you don’t have a beard and don’t fully understand why it would be easier, then it’s not really relevant to you, and that’s okay.
