All we had was our fallen out teeth, so we'd see who could pitch theirs closest to the rock. The winner got to kiss their sister. That was hoity toity...
I looked that one up. Winter wheat is planted before winter and then goes dormant in winter and can survive winter and then can be harvested after win...
I'm not sure. To be sure, you don't have the freedom to play it if you don't know how to play it. But I think if we look at it as license, surely no l...
Why would I choose to die so that my replica can live? I don't understand that. You've not cured my illness. You've just created a new person just lik...
I can't fully agree with that because I do think they are an important addition to many stews. I will agree that baking them with chicken and pot roas...
Roasted acorn squash cut in half with maple syrup and cinnamon. Sugar goes with everything. It's a southern thing. Zucchini as a source of pasta viola...
I do like me a questionaire. I don't resort to philosophical analysis for determining what is ethical. I find ethical theories post hoc attempts to de...
I see exactly where this is going. We are engaging in a tuber naming contest where everyone chimes in with varying tubers that might suffice for my di...
I do enjoy me some beets, but I found the canned sort are so much cheaper than the fresh that I find myself suffering the lesser beets. Don't get me w...
Wittgenstein discusses how language is used, not the mystery in your head. So it's not that he's denying your inner world. He's just saying it can't b...
You can't know what the other person's beetle is like. You can speak about your experiences, but ultimately the words you use are defined by how you u...
I've not argued a physicalist worldview. I've only argued that paranormal experience doesn't offer proof of substance dualism. My basis isn't just tha...
A rutebega story for you: When traveling through Iceland, I encountered kjötsúpa, a lamb and root vegetable stew, chock full of rutebega. It was all y...
This makes the H2O - water point, right? The scientific term means something different from the common one, but they collapse under the same set, losi...
At my grocery store, a rutebega is a large round root with purple on all parts, for some reason with a very waxy exterior. A turnip is smaller, shown ...
That's an interesting point, but doesn't this reference a distinction in categories between analytically defined and empirically defined? If sorting i...
I've been furiously boiling these rutabegas in chicken broth for quite some time, and they're finally softening. I read they are a healthier alternati...
If redness is all things that are red in all possible worlds, then that set is infinite as is the set of of all things we're not sure are red. If ther...
So when you say everything must have a referent, you're speaking modally, meaning it has a hypothetical referent in a possible world? I didn't get tha...
There are properties that exist that are not of a referent, like the property of being the King of France attaches to no object, yet being the King of...
I agree with this generally, but I don't think it's a fair criticism of @"Sam"'s position. That is, in court, if the physical evidence contradicts the...
This makes an assumption that NDEs or any paranormal experience involving disembodied spirits (ghosts, reincarnation, etc) challenges Cartesian dualis...
Well, you have the burden here of proving NDEs exist. It's not upon me to go through the volumes of claims and cross them off the list one by one. So,...
Let's talk then about how testimonial evidence is typically accepted as proof of a fact. Testimony is the primary method used in courtrooms for fact f...
Started "The Ant Trap" by Brian Epstein. A book on social ontology. If I'm following (and there's always that), his thesis is that marriage (for examp...
In some cultures grain turns to flesh and wine to blood. In my religion that I'm thinking about creating, I'll put a grape on your tongue and it will ...
I've not taken an anti-strong drink position. I just questioned the thesis thar pruno production was an example of human perseverance over adversity a...
I am well aware of the history of my company. We began in Hanover, MA, then expanded into Pennsylvania, where we started the famed Snyders Pretzel Com...
Here's a quick refernce guide so that you can know the difference between the different sorts of fruit treats: Jelly: fruit juice + sugar Jam: chopped...
"Both jam and marmalade are made through a similar process of cooking fruit and sugar. In the end, the difference lies in two things: the amount of fr...
I read with great interest your discussion of jam. Do you hold the same opinions of jellies and preserves? My mother limited us to jam when we were yo...
The old tu quoque fallacy. To be clear though, you can use AI, just not: "AI LLMs are not to be used to write posts either in full or in part (unless ...
I do appreciate your thoughts, and no one's objective is to make anyone's life more difficult, but the rule has an important purpose in assuring we ar...
