Doctrine is revealed slowly and incrementally like the unfolding of flower petals, but discipline can change as the need arises. Cremation was avoided originally because it was associated with disbelief in the resurrection.

That’s exactly it, and I’m surprised more people don’t see it that way. For such fiction, there will almost always be a bigger nerd that eclipses your own knowledge on any particular aspect of canon, and yet someone pays half-attention to a child’s curriculum or reads a Dawkins or Hitchens book and it’s treated as an insult to their intelligence to politely inform them of something they may have missed.

At least fanfic arguments tend to lean more civil, and are generally seen as an expression of zeal between peers who all enjoy the same thing, albeit with differing opinions on the details.

Limbo for unbaptized infants is a theological opinion that has fallen out of popularity in favour of other, more merciful theories.

Is it possible Paul is referring to the accidents, not the substance?

The Onion a little over ten years ago:

Horrified Subway Execs Assumed People Were Buying Footlongs To Share With A Friend

My understanding is that the cost of Extended Security Updates (ESU) goes up every year.

You can blame the Listerine ads for that.

1 asprin […] 1 aleve …

That combination of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatories is probably knocking out more than you think.

If it’s an official decree, then it must be in writing somewhere. The fanwiki is very short on references. One could assume it’s all speculation. Probably just self-censureship rather than a ban.

Chosing not to air is not the same as a ban.

Nice try, sentient escherichia coli.

That’s a false dichotomy.

The principle of double effect allows one to attempt to relieve suffering with treatments having high mortality rates.

Euthanasia is a cost-saving measure to avoid the high costs of palliative care for non-palliative patients, and in the examples cited in the article – healthcare in general.

I run my own email server using mailcow-dockerized. Ironically, the problem is not enough volume.

Yours still works? One of the updates made mine stop working. I had to switch back to WiFi.

It’s enough to say it’s “CLEARLY” not 90⁰.

👍

I get you, but it doesn’t clearly indicate the angle in the middle at the base as much as it suggestively waggles its eyebrows towards 90⁰, it could just as easily be 89.9999999999999⁰, although upon zooming in, you can see the line does shift one pixel over on its way up. You simply can’t trust any of the angles as 90⁰ unless it’s got the ∟ symbol (that’s the official unicode) or you’ve measured them yourself, and with that one pixel off-set, it’s decidedly not 90⁰. That’s why you have to do the math.

I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.

For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.

Of course, that’s less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.

I’ll be checking back here hoping you’ll find a solution.

Ditto. We went from having five channels, one snowy on a bad day, plus a bonus 6th channel when the stars aligned, to two channels at best.

The broadcasters and regulators took a basic fact about digital signals “We can get a better quality signal with less transmission power” and saw it as a challenge to set up their digital transmitters with the most conservative estimate of minimum power required. I haven’t studied well enough for my amateur radio exam to know if I’m comparing apples to oranges, but I’m still shocked to see descriptions of transmitter power go from 100kW in one case to below 20kW.

I still don’t see where it says not to report crimes.
