One reply to this is that God can do anything possible.

Now, ideas about what is possible vary. For example Descartes could not conceive of a triangle where the angles did not add up to 180°. However, even in Descartes’ time it was known that a triangle on a sphere will have angles that add up to more than 180° (you can make a triangle with 3 right angles on a globe and those angles add up to 270°).

So the idea might be refined to be more that nonsensical things remain nonsensical. As in, you can ask the question, “Can God change the color of a flower to Tuesday?” But even though it is perfectly correct English, it doesn’t make sense, and your question is bogus, not God.

GPLv3 comes out to 5215 words, so pretty long.

I’ve read many contracts which explicitly state that any part being invalidated does not invalidate the remaining parts.

That’s a nice summary, but the GPLv2 is about 2500 words…

The GPLv2 comes to about 2500 words, which puts it at about 10 minutes read time according to this infographic.

Saying “please” when asking someone to do you a favor isn’t excessive, IMHO. It indicates that you are making a request and not issuing an order, and recognizes that you are grateful for the assistance.

That and the century of humiliation.

Presumably you had to travel to get there. It’s likely you didn’t have anything to drink while travelling. So they offer you a drink.

Also, it’s nice to sit and chat while enjoying a drink, whether that is a warm drink (coffee, tea, whatever), a cold drink (water, juice, soda, whatever), or an alcoholic drink (beer, wine, whatever).

Edit: Also why are you annoyed? If you don’t want anything a simple “nothing for me, thanks” is fine and shouldn’t put you out too much!

Totally off topic, but man that is one terrible table design. 😆

The people in the trolley problem aren’t necessarily tied to the track. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Possibly because in the past there was a notion that doctors would lie to their patients “for their own good”, and that the doctor’s decision about your care was something you had to just accept.

The notion that patients could advocate for their own care arose during the boomers’ lifetime.

Didn’t the Ultima series start in the 1980s? My friends and I spent ages on Ultima III!

As a general rule, it’s always too close to an election to prevent Republicans from disenfranchising voters, but never too late to prevent Democrats from making voting more accessible.

We can’t take care of these little things. These scams you got going on…

Amazing that the health and education of the people are simultaneously little things, scams, and unaffordable by the federal government.

I seem to recall a warning that bloodthirsty people would get reincarnated as tigers. I mean, I don’t want to hurt anyone, but tigers are awesome. 🤔

The Kurtzgesagt team made a video based on this. I think it’s called the egg?

You can still wiggle your butt and dance, sister!

Oh wait. That’s honey bees. Do bumblebees do anything fun?

In fact, they boost their own alleged legitimacy by occasionally ruling against the regime.
