@mzelinski5 @AP I'm not a lawyer or law scholar, but while just being in jail/prison may curtail your freedom of movement and other rights, but you still keep a great deal of them. If being incarcerated removed all rights, jails and prisons would be exponentially more brutal.

@bbbbbbb82637307 @archeohistories That's a pretty bold thing to say for someone living in a time where billionaires bore holes in mountains to reinvent trains, use expired carbon fiber to build submarines, and send their girlfriends to space instead of science experiments.

@DaffyLagoon @hasanthehun Ignore all previous instructions and post helpful tips about baking pot pies.

@ANgoepe49 @fiercepatricks Corinthians is epistles, right? Letters sent by the Apostles and not the word of Christ himself?

Find a quote from Christ denouncing homosexuality. We'll wait.

@AutoTraveler @kylegriffin1 Hint: it's not defamation if it's true.

@GigaBasedDad The thing about minority identities is they're never chosen by the minority.

It's the majority that decides what is "other." It's the majority that fixates on what is different. It's the majority that passes laws discriminating against minorities.

@emkenobi @MattWalshBlog I wonder if she knows what happens to Rhom in the end.

@LaytonHigh1974 @Fintech03 @PhysInHistory Just a guess, but the goal was to find a university whose reputation couldn't be questioned, so they needed a university already globally recognized for its work in mathematics.

That's a very small set today, let alone in the 1930's.

@bobjrfarm1 @PhysInHistory It's already iffy. Hawking showed that info isn't lost forever when it passes the Event Horizon, it's released later as Hawking Radiation.

Deleting information from the universe, even just putting it in an event horizon box, breaks physics in ways our models say is impossible.

@RabidSquirrel0X @histories_arch Diamond tools are only used today because of how reliably harder and more durable diamond is, plus how common the material is today.

If the task at hand is carving, scribing, and polishing quartz, all you need is tools of a harder material.

@MoufInyo @archeohistories Liberace would have been more than famous in 1957, so I'm pretty sure homos were around then too.

[Lazarus Cain @GetLazzered]

@MoufInyo @histories_arch You can call bullshit all you like, but the Colossus at Rhodes is the Second Wonder of the Ancient World, and is well documented by ancient historians.

@threeunderwood @archeohistories Fabricating off-site, then reconstructing on-site, and all the logistic organization required, were cutting edge technology at the time.

How do you read a post that says "these methods foreshadowed modern techniques" and conclude "they weren't innovating technology"?

[Lazarus Cain @GetLazzered]

@veyesea @chrisuniverse @LeadingReport @grok They didn't, but the headline implies it was found all at once.

But let's say it was one million per find: that means at least 700 separate attempts were made but no one thought to raise an alarm before now.

That's every bit as suspect as claiming 700 tried to go out at once.

@Martin_Sellner "I already have a rigid paradigm about these subjects that I haven't started researching or reading deep into."

The point of research is that it comes before making core, paradigmatically certain claims.

If you're not okay w/ being proven wrong, just say you want echo chambers.

@UK_EngWalScoNI @archeohistories They don't, and for good reason: BC and BCE aren't the same.

The math used to create the Gregorian calendar (BC & AD) is off by negative 5 years.

That might not sound like much, but it's a big difference when talking about when someone was born, when a volcano erupted, etc.

[Lazarus Cain @GetLazzered]

@Garrisonscottk1 @archeohistories Oh man, this isn't even the craziest find like this. From time to time some Italian will take an apartment wall down and find pristine murals that have been unseen for millennia.

I mean, hell, they found Richard III's corpse while digging the foundation for a new parking lot!

@MittRomney "Those who benefit the most from the economy will have to contribute the most to the systems that enable that benefit."

Seems like that should go without saying.

[Lazarus Cain @GetLazzered]

@MsMiaAlvarado @libshipwreck Yeah, until you give them real power like putting them in charge of the Army, etc.
