You're all a bunch of self-righteous vitriolic bastards. Loosen up a little.
I'm slightly pissed at the price of electricity going up which is hitting my car charging. One weekend I paid £3 to charge my car, by the next it was £17. But still a fraction of what it costs in petrol.
4K UHDs are unfortunately going for a lot more as the critical mass has dropped as most people don't mind the low quality on low tier streaming. Which is a bit of a shame, but still, for the most part I'd rather pay and keep the physical copy stashed away forever.
What you are talking about is discriminating a group of people based on a characteristic (their faith). In most countries this is protected in the same way as race, sex, and increasingly gender. You may wish to check your bigotry.
I'm old enough not to have already read Discworld before HP. HP is a poor attempt at fantasy, leave it be and follow Rincewind (with two Zs)
Windy in the UK today, with more wind power available than was needed. This meant I had a nice respite from expensive energy and had effectively a day of free electricity.
On Amazon Prime. Fair amount of boobs, it's in English, but the audio is terribly recorded and poorly synced which is quite jarring. Feels like some scenes are missing, not much focus on the plot. Quite amusing, but definitely feels dated. Feels very French (which it is).
I posit that mostly, not enough people care:
Here is a set of essays published by Cambridge University that discus the odd US cultural religion Vs science view and how it is entirely misplaced in the rest of scientific study outside of the US: https://library-search.open.ac.uk/permalink/44OPN_INST/luope7/cdi_askewsholts_vlebooks_9781139801751
Thanks for the articles, I note that where there is resistance, this is chiefly US focused, and while these are religious groups, I posit that this is cultural over religious, as it's not the norm in the rest of the world. Yes, there are some moral objections to certain approaches and ingredients (embryology and traditionally unclean animals), but this isn't anti-science.
Ironically, my science teachers didn't like me asking questions about quarks and gluons when being taught physics. Lilith is a lesser know and not really understood minor character in Jewish folklore and teachers are far from experts - similarly, for me the curriculum didn't go beyond the structure of the atom and my teacher couldn't answer anything beyond that. I hope you'll be glad to hear whilst also being labelled a troublesome child, I didn't lose my interest in science!
I'm not sure that's true, but would be interested in anything you have to support the notion that the old traditional institutions like Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Judasim, Islam, Hinduism have something against the scientific process or that it's incompatible with their belief structures. Though I note that some of these do not have a centralised authority on such positions, they nevertheless feel like supportive practices in the most part.
Yes absolutely, unless you do believe in a god, then of course not. There's a lot of bad people doing bad things, sometimes in the name of religion. Most of it isn't poisonous (well, maybe outside of the US). The arguments here all come from a position of assumed moral supremacy, which is what is being mocked.
Old testament describes the continual failure of man. Telling God what they want, and then fluffing it. Some people get a lot from that, they're called Jews. The sequel is more pleasing to westerners, as it's the foundation of western morals.
To what? The question it's begging is that religion has claimed to have eradicated disease, yet I'm not sure that's a commonly held belief that needs to be educated on. It feels more like click-bait.
It's disingenuous to lump morons entirely on religion, they're going to exist with or without religion.
Science is a process that demonstrates a hypothesis through repeatable evidence. The natural universe works as it does whether you understand it or not. Science doesn't fully understand it, instead if provides our best understanding of things based on the available evidence and is ever evolving.
That's... that's not Christianity. Christ (those that Christians are named for following) made it quite clear that people should be going out and helping others and making an impact. For the most of history, it's the churches that have been at the forefront of medical care - because that's helping those in need - which also comes at great cost to them to run.
Know a teacher who simply teaches a town over.
What's the definition of "hard work"? Working 35-40 hours a week seems the norm for most the world, that feels like hard work to me. And I feel my life is orders of magnitude better being able to afford even meager accomodation and food than not. Does it no longer work like this? Can Gen Z get those things with no work? Or are we just taking about people who do more work for nothing.
What's this post trying to achieve? Has any religion claimed to have eradicated a disease? Heal people, sure, but that's quite a different claim.
I get masonry bees, despite having dedicated bamboo structures for them, they still prefer the vent holes in my brick work, I assume it holds the heat better. Also get leaf cutter bees, which burrow into the ground and take sections of leaf down with them to build nests.
Is this mixing reality/universe/creation with nature? Life is more than the sum of its parts, complex conscious intelligent even more so. Nature created the conditions for humans to rise, but humans have had to organise to create more complex structures and shared ideas and concepts. These things don't tend to follow classical physics (shake up the atoms and get a planet that build politics and space craft).
I'm considering an OLED TV, because it can go completely black - but realising I never watch films in a dark room, I might actually be better off with Mini LED which goes brighter.
Saw in the news B-52s out of the UK laden with cruise missiles. They're not going anywhere near their air defence with that sort of payload. Just sit back, fire and forget.

Foul!
I believe the recent cases in the UK the debate was before they knew which variant was causing the outbreak, and thus what vaccine to give. And also MenB (which it turned out to be) effectiveness doesn't persist, so while they give it to babies who are vulnerable, a blanket vaccination program wouldn't achieve much unless there was a particular risk of it. We do though routine provide other meningitis vaccines that do last.
"the same credibility as a Ponzi scheme", I'm remembering that one.
