Google translate came up with absolutely nothing. Do you have to input Chinese in Chinese characters for it to work?
I guess it's one of those situations where the new use is far more common than the old one, so we might as well acknowledge it.
Fine, so we have to use another more cumbersome phrase instead, thanks to the laziness, ignorance and illiteracy of a bunch of morons on the internet. Great. Newspeak gets ever closer.
Sometimes, I wish we could go back to everyone using Latin in any sort of formal communication. You try saying that "petitio principii," now means simply suggesting a question rather than referring to fallacious circular reasoning.
I don't disagree, but the fact is that a plane crash killing a few hundred people at once is bigger news than a couple of hundred road traffic deaths in aggregate.
There is a reason why the 9/11 terrorists chose planes and large, famous targets, rather than assassinate a few thousand ordinary citizens one at a time over a period of years.
If you must, feed them white noise to drown out what remains.
As an added bonus, you'll soon be driven insane, and have a genuine illness to worry about rather than the largely imaginary First World Problem of ADHD.
By the time you've memorised the not-exactly memorable mnemonic, made a mental note about the (s) and learned how to translate the number of letters in a word into a number instantaneously [*] (and so on) you might as well just learn the actual digits by heart. A 14 long sequence of numbers is really not that hard to remember, it's not like you're going to have thousands of other irrational numbers to remember.

The only way to die with dignity of degenerative disease is to help with research into its cure, even if that means dying because of the treatments you've taken.
Suicide helps nobody but yourself. I suppose it's your right, but it's totally selfish.
Bollocks. You do not have a moral duty to suffer for the sake of other people you don't even know. Before life becomes intolerable, and while I am still capable, if I want to end it, I will.
I would welcome the advance notice. I'd like to have a chance to get my affairs in order and do a few things before I'm unable.
I've no time for being depressed, that would come much later. Or perhaps not, if I lived everything to the best of my ability. I could perhaps be happy and at peace.
You sound very rational and emotionless now, I bet it wouldn't be the same if you actually did have advance notice. Me, I'd rather not know. It's too much like those stories when someone is told the exact time and place of their death and they basically spend the rest of their lives making sure they aren't anywhere near that place at that time, but it turns out there's a postcard with a picture of that place hidden in an old clock that falls on their head at the stroke of midnight (or something).
They didn't they got two colossal teacher's unions to devote efforts to moving them between schools so they could continue to molest children. If you examine the incidence of child sexual abuse between the Catholic Church in the United States and the public schools in the United States at the time the sexual abuse in the Catholic Church was at its highest the incidents were higher on a per child basis in the public schools involving teachers than in the Catholic Church.
Maybe in the US. In countries with a decent state education system, the Catholic priests had a far higher hit rate.
What is not compatible about thinking that God thinks that homosexual behavior, abortions, and contraception are wrong while also having a humble opinion of yourself and submitting to God and others?
Nothing. Humility is a useful tool for the power elite: "look, it's nothing personal, I'm just following the will of God/our Great Leader while I torture you to death".
Jeez, I thought that, whatever their faults, the Nazis (a) built good straight roads and (b) destroyed the power of organised religion. So now we're down to just the Autobahns.
Yes, but the believers won't allow a fair debate about what they believe in. They fall back on "because the Church/God/Pope/Bible says so and if you disagree you're trying to impinge on my religious freedom", which is pathetically inadequate.

There was a girl I liked back in college who I took out a few times, but it turned out she was ineffable.
You dated Jaycee, the daughter of God?

I wonder what is meant with US Assets, and when (not if) it will include US Intellectual Property.
Put away the tinfoil hat, I doubt you're going to have cyber-marines on your ass because you downlaoded a couple of Justin Bieber tracks.

That's not very helpful if you know no Chinese.
That's pretty funny.

In terms of founding a religion, you face the slight problem of the charisma vacuum found in most IT experts.
The "community" also includes hackers/crackers for hire to governments and criminals, so I wouldn't big it up too much.
The trouble is, you might well be serious.

Perhaps Iran can sell Plutonium to NASA.
Let the free market sort it out. Whose business is it where NASA gets its raw materials from?
What doesn't kill you never made Nietzsche consider Alzheimer's.
Nietzsche died of syphilitic madness. I seriously doubt it made him stronger in any way whatsoever.

That's not irony.
A black fly in your Chardonnay - now that's irony. Oh, wait, no it's not.
"Productized" is not a word, and if it is, it shouldn't be.
If the Roman Catholic church wants to remain relevant, the Pope should sound like it's someone you'd go out on the lash with after the match.

filled with people with advanced degrees and who speak at least two languages
Most educated people in Europe speak their own language and English. Here in the UK we also follow this rule.
