And charge them with a felony for attacking a national monument.
Your measurements seem oddly specific. What am I missing?

Never mind. Just saw your other post.

Today is 60 years since the University of Texas tower shooting.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I just saw Mitch McConnell's doppelganger in a hippie store in Amsterdam.

It's not easy watching videos on YouTube anymore: you have to like the video, subscribe to the channel, leave the comment, hit the bell icon, recommend them to other people, become a member of their channel, donate money, support them on Patreon, buy the product they advertise, buy their product (which is usually a book, shirt, game, candle, poster or whatnot), support them through Amazon purchases, look at their wishlist on Amazon, subscribe to them on x, Facebook and Instagram, go to their live appearance, cry when they get cancer or some other horrible disease, join the Discord server, sign up for the Substack / Newsletter, listen to the podcast version, use the promo code.

All I had to do to improve my coffee experience was cross the Atlantic ocean.

I only had to cross the Channel to do that. I’m proud of my Irish heritage, but the make THE most gawdawful coffee.
