My ancestors are also Galacian, but a different Galacia I think. Here's their dance: https://youtu.be/z4nYWBH3OzQ?si=xFE5PaK_aulPC5Gy

Did he have the 5.0 V-8 version? Always thought that was a bit much for a subcompact, but it makes since that a 90s grunge icon would need it.

I speak in riddles and say, "Coincidence? I think not."

I'm almost through Man and his Symbols. Synchronicity?

Listening to NPR this morning, this woman told the story of her first flight. She asked the flight attendant how much longer until they started gettin...

Was his name Kurt by any chance? That's the guy I knew, and I remember thinking back then he seemed like he'd be the cousin of someone on TPF I'd be t...

At the Smithsonian they have a measure of a foot that they will always be able to go back to to know what the standard foot is. They also have a recor...

Your denying I think it's right doesn't make it not right. It just makes it where you don't think I do think. But think about this: Suppose I said "I ...

(X+X+X)/X = 16. 3x /X = 16 3=16 Or cross multiply: 16x = 3x 13 = 0 I think that's right.

You lost me at "collective." That's not because I don't think individuals aren't benefitted by those that preceded them, nor that a collective might a...

I actually just looked this up and found this: "Named by Muskogean Indians as "Ulcofauchatchie," meaning "river among the bog potato," which was later...

I was surprised to learn that it's a 60 hour car ride (61 if you stop for snacks) from the Volga to the Nile. I had always thought it was 58 (59 if yo...

Guys, thanks for the set up on that one.

I used to live near a blue lagoon, and there was brook there that they named after a man named Shields. We called it: /uploads/resized/files/s9/h16fxl...

Rivers and creeks get names here, like the Chattahoochee River or Potato Creek. A stream or brook wouldn't, like there wouldn't be an official Appalac...

If meaning is use, then it is regardless of whether you believe it. Thinking meaning is use wouldn't change how you obtain meaning or change how you a...

This seems too harsh though because there are instances where you might say "my truth" to acknowledge the comment is less than universal truth and som...

You've come to right place with your halachkic questions. The prohibitions you ask about deal with two prohibitions: eating meat and milk together (fl...

I also think reading French i(and probably most languages) is easier than understanding it spoken because of the speed and pronunciations,. When I was...

The ironic question beg is to assume "ontology" itself relies upon what "really" is for meaning. If the result is the same, what explanatory value doe...

I do think the way we teach second languages in school is ineffective, where we start from grammar and the written word. Kids learn to speak first, wr...

This is the critical line and hundreds of posts have centered around this confusion. This comment is often read to mean "there is no ghostly extra," a...

Errors will always occur in understanding, and the meaning is use model works by continued interaction within a community with error correction and ev...

It would remain a threesome until enough vibration and heat causes the bond to snap off.

If meaning is use, then there is no better way to determine meaning than locating the proximity of one word to another and locating its relationship t...

This is what I learned: "Carbon dating a live animal involves measuring the ratio of radioactive carbon-14 (\({}^{14}\)C) to stable carbon-12 (\({}^{1...

My opinion is that carbon dating shows how long ago something died, not how long a living organism has been alive. So, I call bullshit on this whole c...

Well, we now have a logical inconsistency. On the one hand, you don't want women pigeonholed into specific roles, but you want them to live fully to t...

But wouldn't that reveal itself differently through different women, where some would have full buy in to a progressive way of living and some being f...

I still haven't.

Okay, so I'll step back and explain because I really don't mean to be obscure or confusing. I say, "I see an apple." There are two questions that can ...

Musing: Blame at misunderstanding rests in the author, not the reader, particularly where the former is intentionally obscure, as evidenced by the cla...

You mean to say that if you didn't have this diversion, you'd spend your time making stupid rules at work? That might be clearer, but clarity might no...

Semantics references meaning. The words chosen, syntax. Are we not asking what I mean when I say "apple"? You say no. I say yes. You ask "what causes ...

What is the light? Brightness? What is smell? Molecules in your nose receptors? Does the scent of the flower live in the molecule? Does it make sense ...

Why isn't the light an object that requires a data medium between it and your eyes?

The physical question of how we see things isn't metaphysics. You're just telling me how scientists say we see things. That's not in dispute. The meta...

How can what I said remind you of a proverb you made up after you read what I wrote? I just feel like you're a woman of no standing on this.

So, three distinct questions when asking what is an apple: (1) metaphysical, (2) physical, and (3) linguistic. As to each: (1) Kant convincingly tells...

Chicken nuggets are smaller than strips. I think of tenders as the generic term. Dino-nuggets (which we've not talked about yet) are stamped out in th...

The philosophical question is not of the physical, but of the metaphysical. How the light bends and the mind processes is whatever it is, and I'm sure...

That's a tangent. The central question was: Same question.

Very well, then how do we falsify indirect realism as you've defined it? If direct realism (as it is absurdly defined here) requires a part of the app...

"LOL" does not mean laugh out loud less than "laugh out loud" means to laugh out loud. The latter is not what is meant by the former. The meaning of L...

I mean lay out the methodology of this experiment, show me what we're measuring, and show me the results we have to arrive at to prove direct realism ...

What experiment would prove the validity of direct realism as you define direct realism?

Even when there's a specific question?

You beat you personal best time which was "did not finish." It says DNF for your time when you drop out or your time goes too long. Friendly ribbing.
