John 9:1-2 is sometimes taken as evidence of an early Christian belief in reincarnation, but it is definitely not currently taught in any mainstream sect.

Mandoric posted:Northeast isn't any better categorically, the one and only time I took Acela as a "you worked me so hard I'm expensing the good poo poo" treat it shaved a whole 10 minutes off Baltimore-NYC. The advertised peak speeds only apply to eastern Rhode Island. NYC-Boston has a lot of stops that you skip on the Acela, though. That's where it's really worth it.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:again you fuckin morons do realize that the size of the house of representatives is fixed by our dumbass federal law, the vast majority of states gained population between 2010 and 2020, and therefore states that grew more get more and states that were average or below average lose seats? California still has nearly 20 more than Texas. The relative size of the population of the one grew in relative size compared to the other compared to 2010 and that is forced to be reflected into 435 assholes. Any system where a state with a bigger population gets fewer representatives is a bad system.

Tweezer Reprise posted:if the intended benefit of expanding the house is the decentralization of power and increased local representation, I’m not convinced that that will happen simply by increasing the number of seats The number of votes a state gets in the electoral college is equal to the number of senators and representatives they have. Increasing the house size would do a lot to offset the rural bias of the electoral college.

I don't think that's ever come up. New York and New Jersey had a dispute that went to the Supreme Court, but if the two states agree to transfer land it's not really clear how the federal government could stop it.

Tei posted:Ya. Is interesting how a lot of things influence the main cause of death, both in a positive and negative way. Maybe "cause of death" is a useless metric withouth lifespan. Taking official causes of death and figuring out what people are actually dying from is a very hard problem. Age at death is helpful, but that's something where you have to be very careful about looking at aggregate statistics so you don't miss the variability across subpopulations that they hide.

Quorum posted:Trying to figure out which of the states is closest to normal, both in terms of overall land area and major population centers. I think it's Washington, which loses a mostly empty corner, the suburbs of Portland, and I think Spokane? But Indiana is close to normal as well. Ohio is a strong third, but critically appears to have lost the Second Toledo War, and also Cincinnati. Maine.
