The claim is men that martyr themselves get 72 virgins when they die.
I've never understood the appeal for this. I mean, it's the afterlife. I would assume that STD's are no longer an issue. I would think that two ridiculously attractive whores would be preferable.
Or maybe we've really misunderstood the true meaning of this. Perhaps Islam is really opposed to martyrdom. It could be such a bad thing in Islam that if you do so, you will nagged for all eternity by 72 women with whom you can never have sex.
What do the women get when they martyr themselves?
They get to be one of the 72 women who nag some stupid man to insanity for all of time. Hell, there's 72 of them and not an AK47 in site. They can stone him to death over and over.
Sorry, I already filed a patent for doing this from an app on a phone. As soon as I can figure out how to require a 3D printer, something to do with graphene, and use solar panels that are 30% more efficient than current panels, I'll make billions.
When I bought mine I fully expected to meet a lot of jerks. But I was pleasantly surprised that most Porsche owners are simply people who love motorsports and genuinely love driving a proper driver's car.
Try driving a Corvette around Porsche owners. I love cars and like many different types for different reasons. I enjoy working on them too. Unfortunately I don't have the time for it like I used to. But I can't get over the hate I get from Porsche owners when driving my Vette . They're both great cars for different reasons. A Vette is nowhere near as refined as a Porsche, but it has enough strong points too.
Meh, it's a timing chain (or chains in this case), not a belt. As long as the oil is changed at the proper interval, I doubt most owners will ever have to worry about those. Granted, I've seen them go before, but most timing chains outlast the rest of the car.
I buy all my meat from the grocery store where no animals were harmed. They also don't cause any of the fertilizer run off that farms do, or take up all of that land. It's much more sustainable.;-)
Of course, the angry redneck and the stupid sophomore both have one thing in common: You can't tell either one of them a damned thing right now which refutes their little dreams.
That's not limited to "the redneck and stupid sophomore". Damn near the entire population of the US is like that anymore. It's strange how we have better communication and more access to information than ever before in this country, and people are more narrow minded than ever.
Has anyone every run a an IBM buckling spring keyboard through a dishwasher, and then let it air dry for a good long while, maybe in front of a fan or even sealed in a bag with a metric shitload of silica gel?
See my post above. I ran mine through the dishwasher every 6 to 12 months for years. I ran them at the lowest heat setting and shook the water out. I usually cycled through them as I had/have a bunch of them. But I've hooked them up and used them after air drying for less than a week. Never had an issue.
While keyboards CAN last a long time, dude....no. Think about it; they are the recipient of your grimy fingers, day in/day out. They are more disgusting than *anything* else in your house, pillows and toilets included.
Keyboards should be replaced yearly given how disgusting they are.
Perhaps a sissy modern keyboard. I have about a dozen Model M keyboards in my closet. I finally retired them, but I ran them through my dishwasher about twice a year for 15 years or so. I didn't use any detergent (of course), and would let them dry for a couple of days after shaking the water out.
I always figured that would be handy in case I bludgeoned a burglar to death with one too. The last thing I wanted to do was clean skull and brain fragments out of my keyboard by hand. Those things are heavy as hell, and solidly built.
It could be the air. Dolphins are mammals after all, and this was in NJ. Or some high ranking political hit it with his boat and it left an imprint of the boats registration on the dolphins skin.
ZERO. For everything else, there's Cuban Express Card...
Actually the marked it "Return to Sender" and gave it back to the US Post Office. It's anyone guess what they did with it. It's probably been sitting in the back room of some remote post office in Nebraska all this time.
Did he want her to join him bad enough to chance getting killed? He had already stated earlier that she was strong with the force and knew that she was able to resist him reading her mind. You'd think he'd be able to tell that she was trying to channel the force to attack him. Especially for as long as that scene went on.
Darth Vader was also trying to convince Luke to join him. It didn't keep him from chopping his hand off to disarm him.
I found the mind trick thing to be somewhat annoying too. But at the end of her light saber battle with Kylo-Ren what did he thing she was doing when she closed her eyes while they crossed sabers for what felt like a ridiculous amount of time? I suppose he was injured pretty badly already from being shot earlier. But you'd think he would have figured it out and not wait for her to be ready to attack.
Still, it's Star Wars. I don't really look for it to all make prefect sense. I thought it was one of the better movies in the franchise in some time.
Wasn't this a feature in the 60 minute Viper commercials [wikipedia.org] in 1994? I seem to remember that among the absurdities it had the ability to launch a flying drone type thing from the trunk.
Before that, it was a feature of the Mach Five in the Speed Racer Anime from 1967. Except that was before the term "drone" was popular. I was called a "Go Homing Robot". But essentially was a drone.

There is no proven cure for Stupid,
Sure there is. You can even buy it at Walmart. Or you can go old school Doom, with no pesky waiting period.

in summary, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.
Hey, you just described my weekend.
Gotta run, a couple of ghosts are following me.

As soon as tree style tabs work on Pale Moon, I'll happily switch to it.
what's whoosh made out of?
Graphene and fairy dust.
And dead people aren't required to have health insurance.
That seems a little extreme just to get out of paying for health insurance.
How is health insurance different from auto insurance? You're still required to hand over money to a private company whether you want to or not.
I know many people who live in cities who do not own a car. So they don't pay car insurance.

It wasn't swiping. Swiping is clearly defined on page 125.
Also, he made his saving throw vs. swiping.
And not be part of the problem.

I'm not sure what you are reefering too
It looks like you figured it out to me. ;-)

There are places that allow you to be buried in a pet cemetery [philly.com]. Cheaper.
I saw that movie. It doesn't turn out well.
I wound up replacing it with a "gamer" keyboard with Cherry switches. It's decent (even has glowing key bling
I've been temped to get one of those. My daughter has a Razer Black Widow Chroma Clicky.
It's not a bad keyboard. But for that kind of money I prefer a Kenesis Advantage these days. I don't really have time to play games much anyhow.

It is not the older is better.
OK. So older is not better.
It is that tested and vetted is better. That takes time.
So older is better then?
Never get the newest and greatest unless you are willing to deal with the chance of it breaking or acting in appropriately.
Yep, older is better.
I think I know what you are trying to say, and I mostly agree. But the way you phrased it seems a little contradictory.

How does the Jedi force reconcile notions on the conservation of energy? Is a Jedi knight a perpetual motion machine?
You might be one to something. I think it was in Revenge of the Sith that Obi Wan commented about Anakin, "Always on the move"
