modern problems require modern solutions

It's not really a good point, it's just classic cherrypicking. Jesus himself said in Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." so clearly the old testament law should still apply. Christians are just faced with the reality that they could not live their life in accordance with old testament law in todays age, and have therefore chosen to ignore laws from the old testament.

reminded me of the meme "Switch up your swear words. Keep them potent.

Call someone a piece of fuck. Tell them to go shit themselves.

Keep the magic alive."

Replace the last speech bubble with this meme and it works again.

The math part of the state-wide high school final exam is always what causes most students to fail.

In the months leading up to the exam, once a week one very talented math teacher took a few hours of his own time to tutor everyone who wanted to attend. He went through previous final exams and explained how to approach them and did the calculations step by step. He did this every year for the multiple decades he worked there.

There is no doubt in my mind that he saved many students from failing those exams, and that brought him a lot of respect both among students but also colleagues.

A few years back, my department at work went to a cabin for a Christmas celebration. It was very nice of them to organize (and pay for) something like that. But after the mandatory team-building events, I was stressed out and looked to retreat somewhere less crowded. I ended up spending the rest of the night with 2 cats in the breakfast room, one even falling asleep on my lap. All three of us were just hiding from the commotion. Cat tax:

Her name was "Blume", which translates to "Flower" :)

I'm interested in how they've allegedly achieved this working without anyone but you having access to the unencrypted messages.

Don't get me wrong, I want none of this shit in a messaging app, but I'm at least interested in how that is supposed to work.

This is the language equivalent of the "I have a small issue with this software." - "Have you tried switching your OS to Linux and using a FOSS alternative?" conversation lol

Big Pretzel is probably way to busy keeping the tasty European baked goods away from the Americans instead of spending time on proper Pretzel rotation. Also, every kid knows that pretzel sticks have a top and bottom, don't be ridiculous! :P

Number 2 is not upside down. There seems to be no real consensus on what is "up" for a pretzel, but one alleged origin indicates that the pretzel was shaped after praying hands in the middle ages, which would mean 2 is right side up. Also, when they are made in a bakery, due to how the technique is done, they are placed like in 2, and that direction is also reflected on some more traditional bakery signs.
