One of the versions I have heard about this analogy comes from corn silk. The corn fed to pigs is usually of the lowest quality, and if you use the silk from cheap ears of corn, you won’t be able to make a useful purse out of it

Welcome to Muphry’s Law!

Don’t look for snake tits

Not use it, as much as I don’t use all my other numbers

Agreed. People don’t take into account the fact that historians have existed for a long time and probably would have noticed a person as revolutionary as the one mentioned in the gospels - miracles or not. The Romans were excellent record keepers, and that is how we know for a fact - for example - that Herod’s timeline does not jibe with the virgin birth myth, nor did the Roman survey methodology jibe with the Bethleham journey myth, to cite two examples among so many others

Silly me - wondering if there was a contemporary, unbiased historian who maybe could have heard of him

Source?

By truth do you mean that Santa doesn’t exist, that the whole Christmas celebration is an adaptation of Roman pagan traditions, or that Jesus never existed?

Coincido con wiikifox. Si quieres rolling release, quédate con Arch. No hay distribución que se le compare

It sounds OK if you say it in French

For a minute there I thought you were a foie gras goose

Sure, if people suddenly switched languages and then laughed in my face, I would feel bad.

But if it’s like the other comments in this post, and it’s a couple having a quick word about a private matter, I wouldn’t mind. It’s not like I should be a part of that conversation

It’s rude for spouses to have a private conversation? Would whispering be better? Would it be better if they hid in a cupboard where no one could see them?

Censorship is censorship

Right. Speaking about people in the third person is rude

I had a similar issue, and no changes made in Linux would stick. Bootice is a Windows program that allows you to make changes in UEFI boot order and was the only solution that worked for me. Good luck!

You can also fix it by running the following command on your Linux machine:

timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

We were both supposed to be taking Halidol but hadn’t for a few days.

We decided to change out our meds for some really potent weed with some PCP, LSD and meth mixed in.

Don’t see how that’s relevant to the story, though

The fact that you enjoyed playing with a ouija board and took metaphysics classes shows that you are open-minded and suggestible. These practices help you notice micro-expressions of the other participants and help you attune to the “vibe“ that other people are projecting.

The metaphysics teacher is also trained in these sensibilities, and noticed how you were all out of sorts when he arrived at your house

It’s even worse. The original US Constitution does not prohibit slavery. It wasn’t until the Thirteenth Amendment was passed seventy years later - after a Civil War tore apart the country - that slavery was abolished. With the express exception of punishment for a crime. No qualifications for the severity of the crime. And that exception gets frequent use to this day in the penal system
