The said "Christian leaders" lack the wisdom just like AI lacks being human.

What you say is true but don't let the article divorce the sexual connotations from this practice so easily just because the article begs you to. It is centuries old dirty laundry coming to light so the article is an eyewash.

Which is easier to say, "let your women be bare in front of us men" or to say, "let all of you bare yourselves before a higher person."

I'm an Indian I understand that the "higher" castes are less in number than the "lower ones" so lots of social and cultural stratagem are used to maintain the hierarchy

According to the book, "The House of the Blue Mangoes", written by a man hailing from Kerala (a state in India) and rooted in its rich culture, pointed out to the bare breasting problem as one to the rigid social hierarchy in India and especially in Kerala. The women of the lower castes had to keep the breasts bare in front of the men of the higher castes. That was brutal but also a right fiercely claimed by the men of the higher castes. I didn't read the article beyond the first few lines but it felt as if the "Nair" helper woman was ridiculously rigid in keeping her upper parts bare but if your read the book, The House of the Blue Mangoes then you'd realise that the people belonging to the Nair community were considered lower to some other castes and therefore it's not the helper woman that was ridiculous, it's just the casteism. She was just being traditional as she was old. I'm not at all versed in the social structure of Kerala. My only source is the book that I mentioned twice.

The trees are not unusual at all for the people living in tropical climates. Fun trees Yes but unusual no. Most people of the world live in tropical climates so for most these are not unusual

Zen Z doesn't types to store knowledge. They would rather record the lecture or the meeting. I put aside my fone and put it on record while I am carefully listening to the meeting. I'm not even zen z. I would rather write than type

Van Allen belt (consisting of very high energy particles) extends somewhere from 400 to 600km above earth's surface so it's not that far from the space station

Just wanted to clarify: Here "space" means merely 300km above earth's surface and not thousands or millions. Even 300km is very difficult to survive (space station's zero gravity, etc.)

All space programs is about weaponizing space through attack capabilities or defense capabilities or spying capabilities. All other things tv and media coverage and grandstanding is to fool the public into continuing the funding or to avoid the public ire. Only the novice buy into the interplanetary travel dream

For my use case, you are making mountain out of a mole hill. I use AntiX linux with XFCE. I have to use zoom professionally with writing tablet on my laptop for hours daily. Never faced even tiny bit of a problem. Never have to install any drivers for tablet. Nothing. AntiX is fully usable and very fast Debian based OS and doesn't uses systemd. It uses runit.

AntiX-26 released Fast, Tiny, very Useful OS: Debian based, systemd free

James Joyce wearing his bottle bottom glasses (thick glasses) would like to have a word with you. You can call him genius, dirty, knowledgeable in many languages but certainly not gibberish. He used to hold long book club style readings of his books among the prominent literateur in his times to exactly impinge in their minds that what he writes is clever and not gibberish. In our book club we often discuss for hours what he was trying to say on a page. Sometimes he says things in 3 different dimensions by writing a single sentence.

New comment by Guestmodinfo in "Ask HN: Will US send ground troops to Iran?"

Guestmodinfo — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 06:39:55 +0000

One thing apalling in the western and especially US mindset is that middle East ppl are terrorists. No Iran was never involved in any acts of individual or planned terrorism. Covert CIA like spy operations: Yes because everyone is it's enemy (I'm neither a fan of US nor Iran. I don't care who wins. I don't care who survives. But the bloodshed troubles me) It's just face-palm moment to realize that whoever has other sensibilities is an extremist or maybe terrorist.

Not a chance. Iran is much much bigger georaphy than Iraq. And now all countries are better prepared for their traditional foes than bygone era. US has done a misadventure thinking it is the middle East of early 2000. No now everyone is prepared thanx to Russia and China taking turns to equip traditional foes. Even though the Indian media did not say outright but even India and Pakistan war last year was a tough one for India. It was no easy victory. Rather there was no victory. Just ceasefire. Now everyone is prepared.

i have no background in Greek. But it looked nice. How ancient are we talking about. Will it cover the ancient Greek that Bible Theologians and Bible students study or will they have to look elsewhere?

Don't say unsinkable just say hard to sink. Because someone will make shops and the shops will hit icebergs. Or you can imagine some miniature scenario where the tubes will be loaded with payloads and they will hit something and their texture will get crushed sink. So I feel hard to sink is a better word

He is trying to save the club from enshittification. He is not blindly trusting anyone but needs proof of trust to hand over the keys. But yes anyone can fork the project.
