What religion do you practice?
Then there was the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac who lay awake at night wondering if there was a Dog.

What religion do you practice?
I don't agree. There are plenty of "lay" atheists, agnostics and non-theists. Probably more than the "evangelical" type you imply are the majority.

What religion do you practice?
Yep. For me the main take away is these experiences are subjective. They are not repeatable. It might as well be Yuri Geller bending spoons.

And, in non-dogmatic fashion, altered the poll to suit instead of starting a Holy War.

What are these? One of the ways science makes progress is by proving itself wrong (validation of observations of phenomena without a scientific explanation), then modifying itself to account for these phenomena. These phenomena are crucial to the advancement of the body of scientific knowledge. It's neatly summed up by Karl Popper's idea that science proceeds by falsifying ideas. Some go so far as to state that any statement cannot be scientific unless it is falsifiable. This property is the main difference between science and organised religious dogmatism, where apparently there is some book that, despite its age, contains no errors, is the Word of <insert name of your favourite invisible friend> and completely explains all of Creation including, presumably, the antics of 3I/Atlas.

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Are you sure they are going through such a cost analysis in the first place? My wife thinks they often go into hock to get something that serves as bling. Keeping up with the neighbours stuff. Which doesn't just happen in Thailand.

England hit by fall COVID wave, deaths & hospitalizations up
Which is what I meant by the below. Thanks for the clarification.
-
England hit by fall COVID wave, deaths & hospitalizations up
So "died with X" is medical-speak for "was killed by X" or, more plainly, "died of X"?
-
England hit by fall COVID wave, deaths & hospitalizations up
Where does it state that?
-
England hit by fall COVID wave, deaths & hospitalizations up
They're not necessarily COVID deaths. They are deaths with COVID mentioned on the death certificate.

She is one thing you won't be coming across.

Big C promotions
That's almost sous vide. All the ones I get from Makro end up in a block like that. Even if they are in an igloo within a couple of minutes of leaving the checkout.

Moderna Claims Its New mRNA Shot Is “Myocarditis-Free”
As in "not in the same way", rather than "at all".

Need High-Resolution Heavy Wired Mouse (right for my hand)
I entirely agree. Wired is best. Apple meeces can't easily be both charged and used at the same time. How to simultaneously use and charge a magic mouse.

Need High-Resolution Heavy Wired Mouse (right for my hand)
Um, did you think I read the whole thread? Did you ever try using one in the manner of a sewing machine pedal? More often done with Apple Mighty Mice due to only having one button.

One for each hand makes two. With what will you control the third?

King Charles Honours Brave Officer After Knife Attack on Police
Whalley Range? Did the assailant have a history of mental problems &/ or a record? What do we get for our trouble and pain?/ Just a rented room in Whalley Range.

What did you have for breakfast?
One of those sticky rice + beaten egg fritters. As did my child. I hand-fed her because she was scrubbing shoes and safety flip-flops in the sink. No photos. If there's interest I'll photo when I park it (I won't! It's a joke! For goodness' sake!).

How often do you get an unknown call?
I get maybe one call from an unknown number every 2 weeks. I get 10s of SMS SPAM per week. I wonder how long or large my SMS manager's blacklist DB will grow before the device is filled or the DB hits a hard-coded limit. Based on some of the calls I answered, and gave to my wife to deal with, I suspect my current number was recycled from someone else who didn't practice good privacy hygiene.
