I’ve recently learned about bourdaloues. I wonder how many of them had a second life as a gravy boat.
5·7 days agoAre you two telling me getting into political arguments on internet forums is not gonna make me the ruler of the world??? I thought I was really getting somewhere here.
I’m not sure the Catholic Church would agree that Martin Luther changed everyone’s opinion.
Yeah, I do. I’m really lazy and need some pressure to get going. It also gives me this nice kind of thrill and clarity. I also really enjoyed doing exams and tests in school and at uni.
That being said, I don’t think I could deal with a constant pressure. Every now and then is nice to get this thrill and to get validation when doing well. But under constant pressure I would burn out quicker than a barn doused in gasoline.
From the line “Never gonna run around and desert you” we can gather that when a relationship came to an end, the person ending the relationship would run around frantically and burn all possessions of their former partner, thus turning their property into a desert, or “deserting” them.
In a few thousand years…
“We finally deciphered the text on it. It’s a monument to love, to undying loyalty and affection! How amazing! Here, it reads: ‘Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down’”

Well that sure is a bit larger than a church.
Interesting question. Are we talking about the volume or the floor area? For volume maybe a church? Then St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City would be the largest. I don’t know the layout though, but I assume a large portion of it is the main “room”.
Or do stadium with a roof count? Then maybe one of these?
Edit: I don’t think I really thought this through. I was thinking too much of more roomy rooms. Most convention centers probably have larger exhibition halls.
If you’re anywhere in North America
I am not and every argument in this thread seems to assume I am and argues with some rules in the US or Canada. This was exactly my point. The situation seems to be wildly different than my experience.
- I realised afterwards that I said nothing about executing landlords. I’m also not in favour, in case anyone was wondering.
- Hm, I guess it comes down to what is meant by “make it easier”.
The only way to reduce the proportion of single-family houses around here seems to be by adding rules and restrictions. Adding more rules is usually not what people mean when they say “make it easier”. But I get your point.
I don’t think you live where I live. Because where I live there is just no room to build many more houses without demolishing other houses first. There is a lot of discussion about moving away from single-family houses and increasing the density of living space. I don’t see how this would be solved by making it easier to build.
ETA: Just to be clear, I absolutely am not advocating for deporting immigrants.
7·19 days agoCoffee can reduce how much iron get’s absorbed. This doesn’t have anything to do with the caffeine and the resulting stimulation though, but with something in the coffee binding the receptors or something like that. Don’t know if this happens with other nutrients as well.
Mostly puffing up their feathers. On warm days they are suddenly smaller again.
421·28 days agoIn Germany marital rape is punished in the same way as any other rape since 1997 (which to me always seemed horrifically late). But one of the guys who voted against it is his party’s candidate for the post of Chancellor in the election next year.
Maybe we are not as far beyond these misogynistic worldviews as we like to believe.
I’d prefer if it already was decimal time. As you said it would integrate with the rest of the metric system much more smoothly.
But as a software developer the thought of changing it now gives me anxiety. Time is so much more immediately integrated into systems than distances or currencies.
Much as I love the metric system, I kinda think the moment for changing time units has passed. At the latest when computers became a thing, probably even before that.
And 12 based systems have the advantage of having having many divisors which is very neat as well. You can divide an hour by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60 and end up with an even number of minutes. Then again with a decimal system fractions wouldn’t be so bad.
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with being a bit angry or jealous sometimes.
You shouldn’t throw your rage at the people around you or let your actions be driven by anger alone. But there are a lot of things one can very justly be angry about. I would even argue that some things one should feel angry about. Like when someone is mistreated.
Denying yourself negative emotions is not entirely healthy in my opinion, it’s more about the way you act on them (or don’t act on them).
