Right. Keref Hinnom is 600BCE, so a wee bit earlier than the actual reference to ol’ King Shawshank redemption. But there’s oral tradition _probably_ running as early as 1200BCE. - I was talking Abrahamic tradition (as per the dude I was replying to, so not explicitly Christianity… in which case you’re completely correct)

and then you end up with something like Hyacinth, the entire lake dies and you’ll spend a decade fighting it back.

This happened right by where I live.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ por que no los dos?

Bronze Age 😋 #Ackchyually. Root narratives of Judaism and so the Abrahamic tradition from roughly 2000-1200 BCE

Ignore me.

That’s not what he meant by “guess”, so I’m guessing English isn’t your L1. That’s fine. The thing I am gonna give you stick for is getting so riled up by a comic strip you didn’t get that you’re grumping at strangers about it 🤣👉🏼

I knew someone would think about commenting this. Glad to see someone actually did 🤣

This is an excellent point. I’ll chime in here and say I’d never consider using one of these without a proper cover. I got the official sleep cover with the little fold in it for making it a stand and it does the job perfectly.

Durable is an understatement, to be honest. I have the a Kobo Clara BW and it’s fully waterproof. As in, “shit, I dropped it in the ocean lemme run it under this tap to clean it” waterproof.

I’ve dropped it a good many times as well.

The Kobo Clara BW is hands down the best ebook reader I’ve owned, and definitely better than the ones I’ve encountered in the wild with my mates

Who can build a nuclear weapon in two weeks? I’ve hunted for a source on this and can’t find one. Can you help a guy out?

Welp. That’s good enough for me! I’m coming over! 😉

Everywhere does right now :(

Then why on the fuckin’ green earth would you write the words you did directly under my post?

🙄 You’re not retconning your way out of that, pal. Pot calling the kettle black here.

You fucking knob. You realize people who aren’t American are on here, right?

Grow up.

Right. So it’s about breaking the public school system and ultimately replacing them with private institutions?

Okay. Yeesh.

Yeah, maybe. But the rest of us sure fucking don’t. I feel a bit like a some random American I don’t know or endorse voted for me on a few global issues.

I’m pissed about that, I have to admit.

I’m not sure I understand why they’re getting rid of the department of education? Why not change it? Why get rid of it entirely.

If someone could ELI5 that shit, I’d be grateful.

🤣 Abso_lutely_ none of the usual suspects have chimed in here.

A delicate point, thoughtfully made. You’ve convinced me.
