What does "catholic" mean as an adjective outside of belonging to the catholic faith? Context was "She was catholic in criticising playwrights" as she'd given bad reviews to not just Miller but also a bunch of other people. So like inclusive or rigorous or consistent?

It means universal. The Catholic Church gets its name from the fact that anyone was allowed to join.

The meaning later shifted to "orthodox" (as opposed to heretical), and the Catholic Church's name comes from this.

Another dumb 'what does this word mean' question but what does 'nonalienation' mean? Most online dictionaries return with 'the failure to alienate' which to me is kind of a lousy definition. Does this word also mean 'the state or feeling of welcomed and included despite another's intentions'? Or am I thinking too much about it?

I don't think there's any inherent implication that someone is trying to make you feel unwelcome. I'm not sure what context you would actually use that word in though.

Context is everything with weird barely used words like that one. My guess it would be most commonly used in business or possibly legal jargon. If it's legal, ask a lawyer to help. If it's business jargon, your only real recourse is to get clarification from the person who wrote/approved it, because business people misuse uncommon words all the time in my experience(this is often a good way to tell if someone is not a good business person to work with- if they are too full of themselves no one will ever correct them so they will go one misusing terminology).

I think it's usually used to indicate a midpoint between alienation and engagement. If I see a sign on a clubhouse that says "No Girls Allowed," I might experience alienation. If I see a sign on a clubhouse that says "Ladies Welcome," I might experience engagement. Clubhouse with no sign = non-alienation, but also non-engagement. At least, that's how it's usually used in the education sector.

For the sake of a lovely laptop, is using Discord and Chrome at the same time more battery-efficient than Discord and Firefox, since in the former case they both run off the same framework, or is it just the same as whatever the usual difference between the two browsers is?

Firefox will be slightly more battery efficient to use at the same time, since it uses slightly less CPU power, but it's unlikely to make a difference to your battery life which you can notice.

A simple google search could yield millions of results so if you threw out relevancy and ordered it simply by date indexed you would have nothing but lovely results up front with a few relevant links mixed in wherever.

Thanks. I understand the difficulty- Perhaps I'm asking the wrong question. Is there a way to search newspaper and magazine articles and order the results by date that doesn't require visiting each individual site? I've been searching various news topics and been frustrated by google's suggestions, which are inevitably a couple of the most recent articles followed by a random hodge podge of articles that presumably got a lot of hits.

If you just want news sources then sure, a service like LexisNexis or ProQuest can do this. They are usually tied to university services or cost money though.

Is it normal for the softer underside of your forearm to be more sensitive to electricity than other parts of your body? When I'm charging stuff and my forearm leans on it I can feel a very mild shock. This doesn't happen with any other part of my body afaik. I'm an idiot so I even tried with my tongue and nothing. but the second I touch it with my forearm I can feel a very mild, consistent shocking sting.

Got this poo poo bike off craigslist and I want to buy one of those things to turn it into a stationary indoor bike. Anybody know if this'll work, like will those trainers work with an old bike with no gears like this one? If so, any recommendations? Cheaper is better. http://imgur.com/a/enPlc Thanks

It should work on any of the simple ones, but you might find you can't train effectively if you can't change up gears. Some of the trainer things can compensate by adjusting resistance on the equipment outside the bike, of course.

I'm an idiot so I even tried with my tongue and nothing. but the second I touch it with my forearm I can feel a very mild, consistent shocking sting. First off, make sure none of your charging stuff has any metal exposed other than screws during the charging process. If it does, throw it away. If the cables are safe then honestly you probably have a nerve issue where your forearms just freak out a bit from contact with things. It's also marginally possible you have a fear of electricity that is manifesting itself with physical symptoms (they've done tests with people afraid of wifi, and they legitimately do get rashes, but only if they think they are being exposed to wifi, regardless of whether or not there is wifi. They do not get those rashes if exposed to wifi when they believe there is no wifi). Either way seeing a doctor might be a good thing. If you legitimately think you're supersensitive to electrical charge, do a test! Blindfold yourself and put on ear protection earmuffs and earplugs and have two friends help you do a test to see if you can determine which power cord is energized. One friend controls the power out of sight of you two, and records himself on his phone doing it so you can get timestamps of your callouts. The second friend is also blindfolded with earmuffs but also ear buds underneath signalling them to poke you every 15 seconds or so, prompting you to test the cables and call out the results so the camera can hear it. This should let you know if you can detect power in a charging cable without external influences. If the experiment tells you you can, then talk to someone at a local college or university about your experiment. It's probable that you did something wrong, and they might be able to figure it out. If you didn't do anything wrong, they'll probably help you run it again, and if it does turn out you can sense current or voltage potential, you can help advance our understanding of how we work. I know the experiment sounds like a lot of work, but it's really rewarding to have a question and be able to get an answer through your own merits.

It's not the cable it is the devices themselves, i.e. My iphone and vape pen (yeah yeah) which both have metal shells. Sometimes I'll lean on them when they are charging on my bed, which is when I feel a little bit of a shock. I should point out that I've only noticed this with one outlet. Which is a USB that I plug into a lamp on my night stand. It's definitely not in my head I am 100% sure of that. It's just a weird little thing I noticed. It's not even really painful, it's just noticeable. But it is there.

Maybe that part of your arm is just a little sweatier and thus more conductive? Anyway, that means your USB outlet has some improper grounding going on, so if you can get it replaced it'll probably stop the issue.

Thanks for the suggestions for my dry skin earlier. Vitamin E oil seems to be the winner. Next question: Mosquitos love me. They loving LOVE me. I am the person you bring with you on a picnic to lure them away from you. Last summer I went for a one hour walk and then counted the mosquito bites on my clothed legs. There was over a hundred. I don't live in the jungle. I live in the God drat prairies. They turn into huge itchy bumps and I look awful. I've tried almost everything. Covered myself in every chemical know to man. Changed soaps, deodorants, clothing. Do those mosquito patches work at all? I'm just glad I don't live in an area where mosquito borne diseases are common.

Know your preferred breaks on the pants. The tailor will have you in the suit and then go around pinning it how it "should" look. Once you/they are happy with it, you'll strip down and leave your suit for them to work on, casting you naked into the freezing streets. e: never try to resize the shoulders PRADA SLUT fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Jan 25, 2017 |
