  • I like some of the stories in the Bible but it’s still pretty hard to read. I don’t know why, I don’t have that problem with other, even older writings. There is nothing confusing about the Enuma Elish, for example. I think the Epic of Gilgamesh is freaking great.

    But when the Bible steals a story told in the Epic of Gilgamesh and makes it Noah’s flood, it loses all meaning. The original wasn’t all that exciting to begin with but there was a deep meaning to it being in the Epic. But in the Bible, what is the meaning? What’s the moral to the story? It just doesn’t work.



  • I knew the OP couldn’t be right because how do you add a dimple after the jug is full?

    But I’m not sure ambient air temperature during molding is the whole story either, although I expect that is a concern that is taken into consideration and the article below leaves it out.

    The article says "*The high-density polyethylene plastic jugs are made of shrinks slightly over time. It also shrinks more in hot temperatures than cold temperatures…

    Producers must make jugs slightly larger to offset inevitable shrinkage if they are exposed to summer heat in transport and/or go to long-term storage before being filled, but they want to keep the jugs smaller in cold months and if jugs go directly to be filled.*"

    It’s saying the dimple is to adjust the size of the jug depending on what shrinkage it’s likely to see before being filled. So you can presumably have small dimples in summer if they go directly to be filled, and large dimples in winter if they’re going to be transported and stored first.

  • I don’t think we can read that much into it. “Ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing bubba like I made up last week when we were joking about what Putin might have on him.”

    Regardless if it’s true or not, this would be a great time for Clinton to take one for the team and say it happened. “He even introduced me to something called analingus, which I had never had before. He was really practiced at it, he said it was his favorite thing in the world.”

    I like that millions of people are asking if Trump was giving blowjobs but this looks like a joke to me. This isn’t Epstein letting it slip that Trump likes to have dicks in his mouth. He’s with Bannon so his brother is joking “ask him what blackmail Putin has on Trump, photos of him blowing somebody or something?”

    Unless maybe Jeff told Mark that Trump gives BJs so Mark is saying “ask Bannon about that thing you told me about.”






  • When I was 15 in the 90s, every adult in the family, and adult friends of the family, said “You’re 15? Let’s go drive for an hour or two!” I’m pretty sure that, legally, a parent was supposed to be with me, but I guess any random adult was close enough.

    I just added up 14 different vehicles I “learned on,” including an old pickup with “three on the tree”, a Corvette, a 280z turbo, a 68 Chevelle, an International Scout. The rest were boring vehicles. If I remember correctly, 9 were manuals.
