The more I learn about the Jewish religion and morality and the afterlife the more I'm convinced they have way better ideas on how to live life.
Also their weddings are fucking dope.
True that, Jewish weddings are A+ It's like tradition dictates everyone takes a shot to start the event. What? ok let's get weird.
Other than my own wedding, there are 2 weddings that I've been to that I consider the best I've ever attended. 1 was my brothers wedding at a bowling alley, the other was a Jewish wedding I accidentally attended while I was at an Art gallery and the really drunk father of the bride mistook me for someone else.
There's a interesting symbolic power to the idea of bureaucracy in some societies. Part of the king and his government being invested by god, i guess. Also ok too hard to phone post this one nvm.
Interesting though.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Everyone picks the long one too.
Oh my god, it is the worst.
Gotta find a nice Jewish girl to settle down with I think.

For all the Jewish lawyer jokes there is a part of Judaism that purposely avoids solid answers and encourages argument and discussion
The Talmud is pretty much just a collection religious chat threads from thousands of years ago
I had a long talk with SKFM about this many moons ago - and yeah, the "stereotype" is born out of an honest thing where arguing your case, playing devils advocate and pushing right up against the boundaries of rules while still staying to the letter of the law fosters minds that are well suited for the trade. And it is not a bad thing at all except for the fact that endemic and omnipresent racism has made it so.

Even Half mast is rough.
Full mast it's like you hate everyone don't you? Even the Priest doesn't want to do a full mast.
When are you having your wedding in this church with insufficient AC? Oh you always dreamed of being a June bride, fantastic. My wife (GF at the time) was handing me a full flask before we started for us to make it through to the reception.
We are no longer going to use the kilogram as the true unit of measurement for kg any more. Come the 16th, we will rely on pure math instead of the physical object.
Fun sidenote: USA sort of uses the metric system whether it wants to or not, it just slaps imperial units on top of metric definitions.

There will not be an international standard derived from a physical object - they will be relegated to the history books and museums.
This means that the constants of nature will define weight, and therefore all units of measurement derive from that, not a "kilogram"

um.... not quite? The artifact is gone but the kilogram's measure is still what you derive a pound from.

There was a push to use Metric in the 60s and 70s (I'll have to double check that timeframe, I'm going off memory) and no one really wanted to commit full steam because everything was so entrenched.
You can see the remnants of it. Soda is in liters. School science courses are taught in metric (the ones in non garbage areas anyways). Medicine, races, some roadways, food labels all usually contain a lot of metric components.

The only Catholic wedding I attended had the groomsmen as me (a nihilist), a Jewish guy, a Greek Orthodox guy, and two also-Catholic cops.
The groom gave us loaded flasks before we got in the limo to go to the church, and I don't think it was accidental. We got to watch him death-stare the priest for a lot of the ceremony.

I'll take a baptist wedding over a catholic wedding any day.
They are more to the point of let's get these unwilling teenagers married so we can get drunk at the reception. Everyone's getting pregnant tonight.
more hardline believers have some weird, troubling pillars of belief, as always

Also as a person who used to play the trumpet fairly well, and was also super Catholic, I participated in Catholic weddings of all manner of mass length (not mast).
They are beautiful ceremonies with tons of history that run waaaaaaay too long.

Yup. Since like 1948 the inch is, by definition, 25.400 millimeters. If a millimeter somehow changed size so would the inch.

You could base imperial on physical constants as well... but metric is right there already having done it for you.

do you or have you ever collected ww2 memorabilia 'purely out of historical interest'
are you extremely interested in the history of the tank
Interesting though.

those armbands are valuable collectors items that are important to preserve, lest we forget the past
