The first one I ever received? I'm pretty sure it was either Flashback: The Best of The J. Geils Band or some Alan Jackson CD (my parents were really into country at the time; I think there may have been one song on it that prompted them to get it for me or something). Considering I still have...

I've been using it since the middle of 2016 during/after a stretch of six weeks where I didn't get any hours at my job. It invests the money in the account in a selection of index funds based on the aggressiveness level the user designates - I'm pretty sure it's just Vanguard funds, but maybe...

Bay News 9. After spending the day boarding up the windows and making sure essentials are accounted for/packed up if we have to get out of the house. Probably won't really calm down until it makes landfall and we know exactly how strong it'll be when it gets near us. We're in a non-evacuation...

Probably this one. To be honest, the first time I ever saw that thing was here on CF, although afterwards I did notice it in the Methodist parish we grew up in. The intent in creating it back in the 1890s might have been 'good', but it's just so...cringe-y. I take a pretty hard line on...

The Birthday Massacre - Under Your Spell The whole album. It's more or less been on a loop since Friday.

Most of things that came to my mind were too cheeky for their own good. Or just as vague as the current title, even if a bit more pointed - like "In omnibus caritas". I don't like the idea of using any variation of the term safe space, though - that would just be catnip for trolls.

Personally, the presence or non-presence of Unity means nothing to me. It was little more than a toy as far as I was concerned - and one of the articles about the decision to drop them confirmed that insisting on Unity and Mir ended up costing Canonical millions of dollars in revenue, so it...

See below. Yes, they have. Ubuntu makes releases every six months, in April and October. This is referenced explicitly in the version numbers: YY.MM (16.04 was released in 2016 April). The only exception to this was the very first LTS release, 6.06 "Dapper Drake". It was supposed to be a...

IMO, the original Rolling Stones version is too upbeat for the subject matter.

Because the world isn't perfectly balanced on the backs of all those turtles?

Easy: the [entire outside world|government|society|Democrats|Illuminati] is a giant conspiracy to persecute [you|Christians|racists|Republicans|fuzzy bunny rabbits] and turn us all into [Communists|sheep|atheists|fascist anarchists*|jaywalkers]. Given the kind of perfect marginalized high and...

Heliocentrism is simply that the Sun is the center of our Solar System, not the center of the galaxy or the universe. Our neighboring star systems orbit the same thing our system does - the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.

For people other than the FES believing it, a couple fringe figures or conspiracistic personalities pop up from time to time. It is a thought-provoking discussion to broach the reasons why people would believe that in this day and age, and how we as a society have failed to properly educate...

Considering this is the Methodist section of this forum, it would make sense to quote directly from the United Methodist Church's statement on Science and Technology: The UMC is the largest Methodist denomination, and like other Mainline churches, it isn't hostile to established science. It...
