She might find the film a little freaky...

Want to go back to Iceland - this time with my family and do a trip around the ring road.

One of my life ambitions is to visit every continent, so I'd like to also take a cruise to the Antarctic. Not sure I'll ever be able to afford that though.

I use git flow as a model for development. Never have unfinished code in a release - you might think no one will see it, but it muddies the waters.

Sing the memory into some sort of AI music finder and see if it finds anything the same. If it doesn't, or you're sure you've never heard the song it produces, your tune is probably genuinely yours.

I'm 46 and for as long as I can remember I've used "half past" and "quarter to" etc. Even during the years when I used a digital watch I transferred to do this now often than not. I'll use it with my Kuga as well and they understand and often do the same.

The worst thing about these (apart from all the dead bodies obvs.) is that the timer is never long enough for a decent dump. You're just about ready to start cleanup and all the lights go out!

Snape was never a good guy though. Very brave, yes and he had some good qualities. He was also vindictive and a bully - willing to put his petty dislikes above the quality of his teaching.

If it's accidental I don't entirely understand how it's not manslaughter.

I told my wife she had to propose to me - which she did on bended knee. I then refused her because I'm already married!

It hasn't answered it because it simply isn't within the scope of science to be able to answer it. As has been pointed out elsewhere, you can't point to any peer reviewed papers listing the evidence against a soul.

At best you can play the "no evidence" card, which underlines my point that science cannot prove/disprove it because it's out of scope.

You're right that we need a definition, but that doesn't mean it has to be based in the natural world. Science could never conclusively prove/disprove the existence of a soul because it's inadequate in this context.

The only scientific way to do it would be to compare a large group of people who definitely didn't have a soul with another large group too see if there's any consistent differences. Given that the experiment itself implies the existence of a soul it all becomes a little circular.

I think so, but, to be fair, it simply isn't a question that science could ever actually answer.

Instructions unclear - moved to Newport. Not the experience I was hoping for...

I thought this, but, like many worlds, it seems like it isn't so great if you don't have plenty of money. There are places where this is less true, but still...

If, however, I could be a bender (sremoveds in UK) then that would actually be pretty cool...

The thing that makes this seem unlikely to me is simply that a normal toothbrush is so much cheaper and doesn't do that much worse of a job.

I've been a Java dev for roughly 20 years and still find it a very comfortable way to write code. Most of the complaints I hear about it (e.g. verbose) are wildly overstated or just plain wrong (e.g. slow).

Of course, a lot of it comes down to the developer - anyone can write bad code in any language.

I disagree - Java seems like the ideal choice for this. I might be in the minority in that view, though. Java seems to get a lot of hate.

Another recommendation for getting an aeropress. It makes (IMHO) better choice than a french press and is still cheap, easy to clean and makes great coffee.

The next purchase you want is definitely a decent grinder that'll go fine /course enough that you can make any type of brew method you might want to in the future. It should also grind consistently size wise. As a setup that could do you for years (it's more or less what I use, though I also use a Bellman stovetop steamer) before you decide to down any further rabbit holes - e.g. espresso.

Does anyone have any experience with Firefox on Android?

I don't think I'm doing that. I do believe the cousins about the babies. Whatever one thinks about Israel and the whole situation there - from full throated supporter right through to anti semitic holocaust denier - I and convinced Hamas are utterly evil and in no way a friend is the Palestinian people. If Israel are committing genocide (and I don't believe they are, though I'd like to see them put much more effort into not hitting civilians) then those poor people are being destroyed by two groups either side of them with no where to go to escape.
