This chart is easier to understand if you make the following substitutions:

• Toy Lang --> high level language (except brainfuck really is a low level toy language)
• System Lang --> low level language
• Obsolete Lang --> old programming language, regardless of obsolescence status
• Nu Lang --> newer programming language

After understanding this construction, I fail to find any humor in this.

Why is ECMAScript here and not JavaScript?

Among other things, “JavaScript” is a trademark of Oracle.

Louisiana sheriffs are basically God within their parishes. There’s just no way to touch them, legally.

If I recall correctly, the photon sphere orbit is unstable, so there may not be a ton of photons there. “Unstable” in this sense means that photons in adjacent orbits tend to diverge away from the photon sphere orbit rather than toward it.

For Schwarzchild holes, the lowest circular orbit for massive objects is at 3 event horizons, which is above the photon sphere. There are unstable circular orbits down to 2 horizons. Black hole rotation reduces this altitude for prograde orbits asymptotically down to 1 horizon.

His attorney is absolutely top tier talent, and extremely well respected.

My aunt did not like eating peas. And she hid them behind the refrigerator for more than a year.

Moral of the story: be glad it’s the underside of the table and not behind the refrigerator.

I think, even after reading and understanding the books, Hitler would still fuck it up. And I also think that, following the Hari Seldon school of history, that Germany is doomed in any case, unless they turn around and make an alliance with USA/USSR. (For instance, by honoring and strengthening Ribbentrop / Malotov). In that case, they can be a junior partner in the cold war. (Or maybe not. Maybe USSR Barbarossas then a little later).

Truly a Solomonic decision.

holding up the peace by demanding a ceasefire.

Exactly what is “peace” if there’s no ceasefire to it? Did you mean he’s holding up peace negotiations pending a ceasefire?

Even if you went to some asteroids that have low escape velocities, a spacecraft still has all of the mass of a spacecraft–probably a few 1000 kg. So you probably can’t get it going fast enough, even if you can escape yourself by jumping.

Deus is translating “elohim” which is plural. Note the -im suffix for plurals. Modern Arabic has a similar suffix.

Elohim is frequently translated into a singular form to support monotheism. But it’s definitely not a grammatical construct, like English’s royal we.

Now, plural gods in Genesis 1 do not imply that the Genesis 1 creation only covered Jews. I don’t understand that part.

In any case, I was really asking what modern biblical literalists say to resolve this “Seth picking up a wife in Nod” issue. I’m sure they have some kind of story or explanation, and frequently I find those kind of hilarious.

But then how were Cain’s wife’s ancestors created (in Nod?), if not from Adam? Is there at least one other act of creation? I get if it’s not mentioned, but surely someone has written fanfic to fill in the gaps.
