I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement

The phrasing of “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died” implies that just a nibble of his brain was so toxic that it caused the parasitic worm to die. Hopefully RFK Jr. gets proper treatment and any lasting effects are healed. With a presidential race where the candidates’ mental faculties are such a point of contention, it seems like RFK Jr. will avoid much of the armchair doctors’ criticism despite his affliction because he’s not either of the two main candidates.

Steely Dan - The Second Arrangement; cassette tape of original recordings presumed lost for 40 years (m.youtube.com)

This tape was originally owned by recording engineer Roger Nichols and recently played and released by his daughter Cimcie. Infamously, an original mix of “The Second Arrangement” was accidentally erased by a studio worker and re-recording was ultimately abandoned despite the song having huge hit potential. This is the Holy...

Creating a URL to host an image prior to publishing a post/comment seems like a security flaw

When using the web browser to draft a Lemmy post/comment that contains a direct image upload, the instance creates a self-hosted URL that publicly shows that image prior to the user deciding to publish that post/comment. This creates a liability in several ways:...

Underpaid high school teacher: “Any questions on the lesson?”

Student: “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Is the Notre-Dame de Paris the first time since 1957 that Lego has made a set with a direct and specific religious basis? Not counting Advent calendars or Indiana Jones [edit: or Thor] sets. As far as I can tell at the moment, 1309 Church was the one and only religion-based set. I don’t think the Taj Mahal sets would qualify since the building seems to just a mausoleum and not a temple per se?

Are you implying that a negative categorically cannot be proven?

Ok, just verifying that that fallacy wasn’t the crux of your argument

Let’s start with clarifying an element of the question:

Which characteristics define a god? Do these characteristics violate the laws of physics and/or internal logic? If these characteristics do not violate the laws of physics, then what aspects distinguish a god from a mundane or natural entity?

Teenager finds ‘holy grail’ Lego octopus from 1997 spill off Cornwall coast (www.theguardian.com)

The octopus is one of nearly 5m Lego pieces that fell into the sea in 1997 when a storm hit a cargo ship 20 miles off Land’s End, Cornwall. While 352,000 pairs of flippers, 97,500 scuba tanks, and 92,400 swords went overboard, the octopuses are considered the most prized finds as only 4,200 were onboard.

To clarify, the octopus mold itself isn’t particularly rare or expensive. The article refers to this individual piece as a “holy grail” because among the parts of the Cornwall flotsam, the “octopuses are considered the most prized finds as only 4,200 were onboard” in the lost cargo. The family in the article has been scavenging for years to collect the various parts, so this is something that is valuable to their subset of collectors but not really valuable to the typical Lego collector or fan.
