Dude’s a Christian Zionist.

I actually doubt that. Zionism is usually an Evangelical Protestant trait, this notion that we need to force prophecy to be true isn’t associated with Catholicism.

I realize that from the outside all flavors of any given religion look pretty similar, but there is a stark difference between your average Catholic and your average Evangelical. And between various flavors of Protestantism, some of which are far more similar to Catholicism than they are to the more “Evangelical” Southern Baptists, Pentecostals, or non-denominational megachurches.

Point is, I would be shocked to find that Zionism is a religious belief for J’Biden. It’s far more likely that his position regarding Israel is more rooted in realpolitik support for one’s allies at any cost, which is also reprehensible.

SPATULA CITY!

Mildly interesting coincidence that this administrator shares a last name with the man who wrote and starred in the musical.

Blasphemous. Dipping fries into the Frosty improves both the fries and the Frosty.

Nah, Magic Head’s uncle!

Ah, yep. I have very little knowledge of keyboards in other parts of the world, unfortunately.

Thanks for the correction!

Thanks for the gratitude!

Modulation fluctuates in popularity. About a quarter of number one hits from the 60s through the 90s utilized it, whereas in the 2010s only one number one hit did.

Why the key change has disappeared from top-charting tune - NPR - All Things Considered

Edit: I realize this doesn’t answer your question, but I’m not sure there really is an answer. It’s such an old technique, musically speaking.

That style actually pre-dates the 80’s by at least a few decades. In more traditional music, particularly Christian hymns, that’s referred to as a “descant”. It was popularized in church music in the early 20th century by Ralph Vaughn Williams.

Descant is a vocal harmony above the melody, whereas in hymnody most harmony is below the melody. They show up in final stanzas, most frequently.

What they’re talking about here is modulation, where the key shifts by a step or two (or maybe a half step). It’s sometimes seen as a bit cheesy nowadays, but I love a good modulation.

just like how they replaced prostate exams for us yeah?

1: They did, digital recital exams are no longer recommended as a screening for cancer.

2: I’ve had one, they’re mildly uncomfortable but not painful.

I had forgotten the name of his Vision Pro app, so I was very confused. Is it 1998 and they’re banning my dial-up internet/email service?

Juno: Because email was meant to be free!

We use ! because keyboards no longer have buttons for ¬, which is the other logical not.

This isn’t even the first time Boeing has had major rudder issues with the 737. Last round happened before the merger. They tried to cover it up then, too, IIRC.

Ah, an individual of culture.

Like I said, “within reason.” Obviously worse things could happen. They probably won’t.

An item of importance is to try not to put too much pressure on the situation. Just be friendly and see if you hit it off.

In practice this is difficult when you’re new to dating, but honestly you want to find someone you’re comfortable around (to a certain value of comfortable at first).

Most dates in my life were great. You’ll probably make some embarrassing mistakes, but the worst that can happen (within reason) is that you’re back where you are now.

So do you decry senseless violence from Hamas and Hezbollah or are all you complaints one sided.

Wow, your reading comprehension is as bad as Senator John Kennedy’s hearing.

Of course I decry senseless violence from Hamas and Hezbollah. And I would oppose sending weapons to them.

Fun fact, they let you tell them what kind of vehicle you have for the fuel efficient route. So when we told it we have a PHEV, it started recommending more surface streets than highways. Kinda cool.

Fascinating, I’ve found better results with Apple Maps lately than Google Maps. Which blew my mind, because Apple Maps was a complete joke when it launched.

I loaded a deck joist into my Scion tC when I realized one of mine was rotten (while replacing the boards). I put it through the sunroof into the “trunk” (it’s a hatchback) and drove home like a majestic blue unicorn. It was beautiful.

Got home and my neighbor said, “You could’ve asked!” while gesturing to his pickup truck.

I said, “I wanted to see if it would work!”
