Not really relevant, but: word processors were just starting to be used when I went to college, but I still mostly preferred using my portable electric typewriter. During my junior year the G key broke off and disappeared, so all my papers from that point on have the Gs written in by hand. If they ever invent time travel, I'm going to assume that enough other people are going back to kill baby Hitler and I'll slap the shit out of 20-year-old me.
The best description of her I've read is that she looks like a serial killer who is wearing the face of one of her victims as a mask.
At least he was in Greece and not Moscow - like some congresscritters I could name.
I'd go with Marjorie The Gathering myself. Yeah yeah you're not supposed to hit a woman, but I'm not convinced she's even human let alone a woman.
from even before the pre-BC times
Uh, isn't all of time the pre-BC times? How could you be before that?
Jesus moved to Japan until he died of old age
Ah, that explains the "resurrection" - they faked his coming back to life so they could keep collecting his benefits.
"I've read some more of this book. Apparently, if your neighbors show up at your house wanting to rape your guests, you should send out your daughters to be raped instead."
We do seem to enjoy locking up and deporting the people who do the actual work around here.
most of the people don’t have access to clean drinking water and stuff
Believe me, we're doing our level best to get there.
In the US we literally spend twice as much per capita on healthcare as the rest of the developed world, while having the worst quality of healthcare in the developed world. That extra money all goes to the insurance companies. Muigi Langione is all I can say.
Ya’ll literally live in a hellhole with paintjob
Fuck you - that paint job flaked off decades ago.
capturing the rules as tests is a great way to make sure that rules remains true
Capturing the rules as documentation is also a great way to make sure that rules remain true.
Lol just kidding! Documentation ... can you imagine?
You condense people into a smaller and smaller space until they produce a black hole - of Calcutta, that is.
Wikipedia politely labels persistence hunting as "conjecture". It's interesting that pretty much everything important from our ancestral past (e.g. fire-making, flint-napping tools, spears, skins and furs etc.) can be and regularly is reproduced by modern people. But somehow you never see modern people jogging down deer and killing them - even with the benefits of modern footwear, portable water containers, a carbohydrate-rich diet for energy, and GPS trackers.
somehow made it into popular science
The "somehow" as far as I can tell is the David Attenborough documentary bit that supposedly shows a Khoi-San hunter doing it. Richard Lee and a team of Harvard anthropologists extensively studied the !Kung (a Khoi-San people) during the '60s and '70s and there was never a mention in any of the literature this produced about these people engaging in persistence hunting. What they did describe was the practice of hunting with poisoned spears and arrows and then tracking the wounded, poisoned animal for days until it dropped and could be butchered. Needless to say, this is not persistence hunting.
The popular anthropologist Marvin Harris also featured Krantz' work is his final book Our Kind (which is where I first heard of it), but I don't think enough people read that book for it to have been the source of the idea's current popularity.
She claims that she was never interested in women until she met her current wife. She is the absolute archetype of a butch lesbian so I don't know what to say about that.
I like how the top Google response to "what are the ten commandments?" lists eleven of them.
