Little known facts

Found one!

In 2018 an argument was made that the rectangular altar found in the early 1980s wasn't Joshua's altar; there was a round altar underneath the rectangular one that was identified as Joshua's altar. A major piece of evidence was a lead tablet inscribed exactly as the Bible describes in association with Joshua's altar. The info on that wasn't published for several years during which plaster found with the circular altar was scanned using UV and lasers and found to have been written on; fragments contained parts of the Ten Commandments, which also matches the Bible's description of the site. So the announcement was about the evidence that the round altar was Joshua's altar; the only argument in favor of the rectangular one is that its form matches that of later Israelite altars, such as the one in the Temple and one at Shiloh.

The evidence for the rectangular altar being Joshua's is incredibly weak compared to this find of the lead tablet with the curse inscription matching what was written down in the Bible, so the information from the 1980s is not the same as this -- this is new.

evidence?..you've posted no evidence

is there any reason why you don't post links to your sources?

is it just beneath you or something?

laziness?


what?!

Driving the length of Ukraine, which people keep calling "a small country", is the equivalent of driving from London to Vienna.

Half brain dead that night... my search for a new pup to train as a new service dog is not going well. I think these were the main two.

Small country? All countries in Europe are "small", and Ukraine is the second largest after Russia, above France and Spain, way beyond little countries like the UK, Italy, or tiny ones like Ireland.
Little minds...

According to Patrick Hernandez himself, his [only] hit "Born To Be Alive" makes him earn between $1000 and $1600 a day.

So why do the media keep calling it a "small country"? Just in comparison to Russia, which is small in more important ways?

^ What media? Fox?

The whole world is suffering disruption out of the lack of supplies from or through Ukraine, so on no account it can be consid... oh, wait, no cultural relevance or sentimental attachment (through social habit more than anything), you know, like that stupid Irish-American mythology about a great country and people from Cloverland.

First day of fucking sultry full summer in BCN...

Three to four more months to enjoy

If you scratch the inside of your ear canal you can hear the Pac-Man sound. (If you do it properly.)

In mid-February, a typical jar of instant coffee in Moscow cost 100 rubles, which was about equal to one U.S. dollar.

Four months later, the same instant coffee costs 500 rubles, which is about equal to one U.S. dollar.

Oh, yes: I forgot there that the greatness of Ireland is perpetuated today through its tax-fiendly legislation.

All 4 gas giants in our Solar System (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have rings. Only Saturn's rings are made of highly reflective ice, which is why we can see them.

Since Neptune was discovered in 1846, it has only recently completed a single orbit of the Sun.

I remember notices about "Neptune Day" because of that first completed Neptune-year since discovery -- not to be confused with the "Neptune Day" ritual for people sailing across the equator for the first time. Only 154 years to the next one!

Firearms training classes, not unrestricted compulsive firearm peddling and hoarding.

 

[Kulindahr]

Firearms training classes ....

The NRA regularly offers free defensive firearm training to women.

A friend used to joke about pretending to get a sex change so he could get a free class!

And I once got a $75 scholarship to an NRA training class (cost $90) for a defensive handgun course through a partnership between the local NRA and the Pink Pistols.

Why do not focus more on that than in selling as much ammo as possible? More about real ability and less peddling, bickering, parading, faking and useless institutionalization.

Um, what?? The NRA doesn't sell ammo.

They do sell a bottle opener that looks like ammo....

Oh, so they just peddle stuff for exhibition.
