I think Judaism and Islam have more in common with each other than with Christianity.

Christianity's belief in the divinity of Jesus is shared by neither other religion. The Jewish jurist Maimonides ruled that Christians were idol worshipers because of their belief in the trinity and Muslims were not (Menachem Meiri rules otherwise).

But more than that, in terms of practice, Muslims and Jews share a great deal. Praying in a certain direction. Praying several times a day. Specific dietary requirements, including banning pork.

And Jewish and Islamic thinkers were in constant dialogue, I'm not sure why anyone could say there's no philosophical continuity.

Can't you get a plugin induction? It takes up counter space, but theoretically could be placed on top of the coil burner

That still remains to be seen.

I think we can turn Ideators Anonymous into a successful business - seminars, book deals, retreats, rehab centres, the works!

We're about to have rail strikes in the UK. I asked a taxi driver in London whether he gets more trips/surge, and he said it gets more than negated by the added traffic.

And that really brought home how a public transport infrastructure also massively benefits drivers. Cities without it (I'm thinking of LA specifically) are gridlocked.

Usually passwords or keys are stored in a config file, and that is stored in a place outside the repo.

I clicked on a few "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past" is about English snowfalls, and it is true that we don't have heavy snowfall, not sure why this is a failed prediction, it's more of a statement of fact.

Some of these other predictions aren't necessarily falsified.

Peak oil may have already occurred. The fact that we have to resort to offshore drilling shows the low hanging fruit have already been taken.

Another example of a debatable prediction is "Fifty Million Climate Refugees by the Year 2020" - this is something that environmental groups claim is a correct prediction as they attribute certain current wars (e.g. Syrian Civil War) to have been caused by droughts caused by climate change.

Some of these predictions were not made by scientists or were clearly just meant as a slogan to galvanise action - e.g.

I was born on the 30th of Cheshvan which as he explains is one of the days that doesn't show up every year (I guess is the equivalent of February 29th). I've always wondered how many birthdays I've had - does anyone know of a list of which years are chasar/maalei?

The missing years are also interesting:

Or any sort of CAD

I'm not constitutional lawyer, but those sound like things only the legislature can do, which is beyond his control. The things he has done are things the executive has in it's power.

Interfering with a traffic signal is a crime in many jurisdictions.

They would also rub out the ink and reuse the paper. The term for this is Palimpsest:

I came across this practice when reading the Chapter of Fathers in the Mishna:

"Elisha ben Abuyah said: He who learns when a child, to what is he compared? To ink written upon a new writing sheet. And he who learns when an old man, to what is he compared? To ink written on palimpsest. Rabbi Yose ben Judah a man of Kfar Ha-babli said: He who learns from the young, to what is he compared? To one who eats unripe grapes, and drinks wine from his vat; And he who learns from the old, to what is he compared? To one who eats ripe grapes, and drinks old wine. Rabbi [Yehuda] said: don’t look at the container but at that which is in it: there is a new container full of old wine, and an old [container] in which there is not even new [wine]."

Electric bikes solve that particular problem

Nearly a quarter of Brexit leave voters (23%) say they prefer their steaks well done, compared with only 12% of remain voters. Source: https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/docume...

A red light district is for sex work. Sex trafficking and sex work can be distinguished (i.e. one can have sex work without sex trafficking).

I'm not a lawyer, but isn't this going to be a pretty big obstruction of justice case?

The article says to use both - not a preference for using absolute numbers at large scales.

That's a mitigation strategy but there are many open tickets at any one time. The employee can just go through open tickets and wreak havoc.

Surely all those guns can also put people behind North Korea type gulags, and caused a few hundred million to be occupied by the USSR?

> I haven't heard of the psychedelic chemist who had a mental breakdown, I think that's a myth. The biggest risk to mental health for a psychedelic chemist is ending up in prison.

Anecdotally I do know someone who had a psychotic episode on psychedelics and spent awhile in recovery. They eventually did recover, but that did make me wary.

As for your point about doses - low doses are hard on chemicals because you don't know what you're getting. Using mushrooms, well dosage varies wildly per gram depending on what you've picked. It wasn't a point about addiction.

I have had great experiences on threshold doses of mushrooms (and experimented on much higher doses of acid in my past), but I do think a healthy amount of caution is generally good.

I really enjoyed Sasha's books. That said, I'm not so sure it's easy to replicate his experience:

1) Sasha generally took low/threshold doses. Drugs are all about the dosage. It might not be so easy for you to replicate that.

2) He was an extraordinarily talented chemist and would make the drugs himself. You would need to either use shrooms/peyote (harder to take low doses( or buy from the darknets (with questionable safety and dosage)

3) He is an anecdote/small sample size, we don't have a large scale study here

4) There is an element of survivorship bias - you've never heard of the chemist who made LSD in their 30s and had a mental breakdown because, well, they didn't write a book

I'm not saying the economic motivations justify the invasion. I'm saying the economic motivations make more sense to me as the root cause of the invasion compared to military reasons.

I'm no geopolitical expert, but the economic concerns are there. Ukraine is a 'breadbasket', if they were to join the EU's common market (with export tarrifs) then presumably Russians would face rising food costs.

The motivation to keep Ukraine in Russia's military sphere probably has as much to do with economics as anything else.

Whistleblowers are protected from retaliation due to disclosure by law (they don't need to risk their job), I'm not sure a golden parachute would afford much extra protection.

I bought a folding bike, never bought a lock and that worked for me.

My partner recently bought a folding ebike for 600 GBP and it wasn't even their entry level model. It is a great bike. 2-3k EUR is not entry level.

Even if you understand the Hebrew, much of the original meaning has been lost. I'd recommend Kugel 'How to read the Bible' for this.

The Hebrew part (depending on what you consider cannon) was more likely composed/compiled over a few hundred years. Although the stories may be older, the spelling and other elements are from the Babylonian period.

The poems do retain the older Hebrew though.

£1000 is relatively cheap for a one off transport cost. An annual tube fare is between £1480 and £2708 depending on how many zones you want to travel in.
