| My younger brother is a computer animator. He had to display significantly better drawing skills than Adolf Hitler just to be admitted to Animation school - even though drawing by hand is done much less often in animation today. So what may seem as "brilliant" to outsiders could very well ... |

| This passage (1 Corinthians 34-35) is widely considered by historians to be an interpolation not written by Paul (but a later addition which was not part of the original text). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Epistle_to_the_Corinthians#Authorship You're very likely correct, though the exact ide... |

| From what I could find, the admission rate at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna at the time of Hitler's application was less than 25 percent. Hitler failed his entrance exam... along with another 84 of the 113 applicants. https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/8551/what-were-acceptance-criteri... |

| Well a lot of women were basically treated as cattle at the time... It seems that inequality was just normal to the ancients. Pastoral governance, the "flock," and St. Paul's recommendation that women shouldn't get a speaking part in church. This passage (1 Corinthians 34-35) is widely co... |

| I remember some guy once told me a story, about a woman whom God sent to Hell because she didn't forgive her husband for cheating. The reasoning was that not forgiving her husband is bad because God forgives. But. like seriously, when?! When did God ever simply forgive anyone? Notice how even in th... |

And both into bacon, and vice versa.
Then one machine could fulfil all the needs of the entire human race for all eternity.

| So each new variant of of COVID is invulnerable to the current vaccine and new vaccines will need to be produced for each new deadlier version? Why did some earlier virus such as the Spanish Flu keep mutating into more deadly versions? Why doesn't every virus? No, most new variants so far have been... |

| I just attended a wonderful jazz concert last night with 100+ people packed in a small basement venue. Most of the people present were above the age of 60, and thus more at risk from serious illness or even death if they contracted COVID. The only reason the concert could be held was due to the fact... |
