Yes, it’s true. This man has no dick.

No, no, it was originally “Taking God’s name in vein,” as saying the name of God out loud would allow Him into your blood. If you say the name of God, you allow him to inhabit your blood, gain your power, and become even more mighty. The ancient Hebrews feared God gaining too much power, as He would be able to destroy the world. Then Christians figured out that if they took Communion and instead drank the blood of Christ, they could reverse the Hebrew God’s power and slowly increase their own until they could ascend to the heavens and do battle with the Almighty, empowered by His blood in their veins, rather than weakened by taking His name in vein. In this seventeen-part essay, I will describe how we can defeat God by

Handmade puzzles, i.e., puzzles crafted intentionally by a real person almost never require guessing. However, a lot of “extreme” difficulty puzzles (or similar difficulty terms) in apps, newspapers, puzzle books, etc. are not handmade by a real person, but computer generated. There’s probably a logic chain that’s like 15 steps long that humans couldn’t reasonably follow, but a guess is likely faster and more enjoyable.

Someone else recommended Cracking the Cryptic on YouTube, which is a great source - the daily puzzles are nice because you can follow along in the video if you’re stuck, but they also have lots of apps with Sudokus that never require guessing. Another good source is Logic Masters Germany, which has lots of handmade Sudoku and other puzzles: https://logic-masters.de/

Letze Woche habe ich gelernt, dass mussten und müssten sind anders. Duolingo akzeptiert beide, und jetzt habe ich keine Idee welche ist richtig.

Es tut mir leid für meine Grammatik. Mein Deutsch ist wahrscheinlich nicht so gut.

“Suck, suck, suck!”

Celebrity gossip. I’m just not interested in who married who, who’s wearing what, who’s doing who.

And reality TV, but if ratings are any indication, I’m the weird one on that.

One of my favorites! She is just so incredible with making you think about concepts.

My man R2-D2. Took no shit from anyone, did what he thought was right, was around from the beginning, and survived practically everything. Plus was a loyal friend to Threepio even when he was acting like an idiot

I loved the SW card game as a kid, but everyone wanted to play Magic instead. I will admit, however, that the rules probably weren’t the greatest. You just played for that 1 game out of 20 where you actually managed to get the right cards out to blow up the Death Star or superlaser a planet, or had a Vader vs. Luke fight.

Also IG-88 had a whole backstory in the EU (now SW Legends) where there were FOUR of him

“My neighbor Jerry wrote his password on a post-it note and stuck it to his monitor that I can see through the window. Let me just add it to the database…”

LARGEST PASSWORD LEAK EVER RELEASED BY BOB SMITH OF 123 MAPLE ST!!!

And he (Admiral Motti) got the first name of Conan by George Lucas while on the Conan O’Brien show!

No thanks, I’m not into Pokemon

I don’t think this is the original album cover. I remember that Weird Al was on the CD I had.

Estuans interius, ira vehementi, Sephiroth!

Das ist auf Deutsch, nicht var?

They do have courses, but there’s also a lot of good quizzes to evaluate your critical thinking skills at ClearerThinking.org

I don’t like porn. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

Having one of these calendars in every book was amazing! I remember marking up one of these timelines in the later novels (Yuuzhan Vong, maybe?), so I could make sure I’d read (or owned) every EU book available. And then new books came out, so I had to write them in. Great little addition, rather than just a list!

Space is hard. You’re strapping something inside a big tube with basically directed explosives at the bottom, hoping it survives the trip, then subjecting it to constant radiation, huge temperature swings, and other brutal environmental factors like micrometeoroids. Just because we’ve been sending satellites and people up to space for nearly 70 years doesn’t mean it’s gotten easier; we’re just better at knowing what to expect so we can test for it. Failures in rockets or satellites or even manned spacecraft are going to happen as much as we work to prevent them.

I don’t usually wear dress shirts to work except for big presentations, but how on earth does it only take you two minutes? Are you only counting active time ironing? Or ironing 10 shirts in one session and giving the per-shirt average?

Start to finish, from getting out the iron, plugging in to start up, setting up my ironing board and laying out a shirt, waiting to heat up, ironing the shirt plus flipping it around and ironing again, then putting everything away after the iron cools down, it’s usually like 15-20 minutes for me. Maybe you can do something else when the iron is heating up, but it still seems like at least 10-15 minutes. Still a short enough period to not be a huge hassle once a week, but way too much to do every morning.

Dear Quora, I ate this sandwich but now I haven’t pooped in 23 days. Should I go see a doctor, or will my friend’s MLM elderberry quinoa enema rinse help?
