Divorce in the Bible kinda wild.

  • Moses permits a man to divorce his wife except when a man provably falsely accuses his wife of not being a virgin (literally if her father presents to the town a bloodied sheet from the wedding night) or if a man rapes an unbetrothed virgin (he must marry the girl he raped though)
  • Jesus says, "Yeah, Moses said you can divorce people, but that wasn't God's plan. God just changed his mind cause y'all were removed too much. Unless one of you cheats then it's chill to divorce." The disciples in response quip about how it's better to stay single then and Jesus responds, "yeah it's better not to fuck around."
  • Paul, acknowledging neither precedent, then comes along and says if your unbelieving partner wants to leave let them.

In conclusion God allows divorce unless your husband is shit, but actually he hates it and it was never part of his perfect plan unless you cheat, but he changed his mind cause people were hard to deal with, but really it's totally permissible if your unbelieving partner wants it.

This clearly demonstrates the acclaimed love and deep understanding of a God who is forever unchanging, "the same yesterday, today, and forever," and who is the single source of objective morality.

I can kinda see it for a DSL or a transit medium for carrying permitted commands from a client to be heavily assessed prior to executing on a server.

There are other ways to accomplish the same, but it's certainly not the worst way to handle it.

If you're a developer

I am. The company I work for was recently bought. I'd been there 8 years so I got a couple of months they're still keeping me on.

But the guy that had 1 idea 30+ years ago got $30,000,000 for all the risk he assumed in hiring other devs with money he already had to build his idea.

Is a primary not "Democrats ... [coming] together and [deciding] to support whichever candidate has the most support among them?"

This seems to be the case with connected cars in general, not exclusively Chinese models. There are multiple reports of Tesla remotely disabling cars or reducing battery range, for instance. Also the fear mongering over subsidies being a violation of the rules of fair trade is laughable given that is the exact way the US car market operates too. I don't even have the choice to buy a cheap Chinese car here in part because of government protections for domestic markets.

Speaking of not teaching things kids have to unlearn later, I've often wondered why we don't just start teaching math with the expectation that you solve for "x".

i.e. Instead of

2 + 3 = 

Write

2 + 3 = x

This would prime the child to expect that math is about finding an unknown and you've already introduced the unknown that will be most prominent in their academic career. This will also reduce the steps necessary when teaching how to balance an equation as you no longer have the "well actually you were always solving for 'x' we just didn't write it, so you didn't know, also we're never going to use 'x' for multiplication again." stage.

But I'm not a teacher, parent, or child psychologist and this is just my blathering hypothesis based on watching my peers struggle with math for years.

Well there's Senator Thom Tillis who was the only one who actually voted to keep Cruz's amendment.

I've never been able to make up my mind on whether or not the character has its hands raised or just has prominent ears. Frankly I prefer to believe they are its hands and the character is quite pleased with its star.

Is there a canon answer?

No high-iq individual will work 2 weeks per week with no pay in a society that requires money to live.

Because schools cannot forcibly out students to their parents SpaceX is now incapable of working there? Seems like there's something else going on.
