    Anyone familiar with a "beer" without any yeast or hops?

    You're right. Maybe. I never put those two together. So what did the hebrews use for leavening? I imagine left over dough mixed into new dough.

    Anyone familiar with a "beer" without any yeast or hops?

    Ancient folks didn't know what yeast was, so it's not recorded. But there are accounts of old brewmasters having their own personal stirring stick that made the beer just so. That's probably the source of yeast and other beer making microbes.

    Randomness and discreteness

    I'm used to different field having different definitions for things. I describe "random" as described in genetics and in most basic statistics lessons. That's why I specifically asked for a mathematician, to make a more generic statement. Is that you? If so, your answer is atypical and we need...

    Why Don't Others Try To Conquer The World?

    I guess I was trying to say... Did any of those empires ever actually try to take all of everything? Why didn't Alex go out with a second army? Roman emperor Hadrian stopped expanding and fortified the borders; Scotland wasn't worth it. I thought the Mongols just kind of did things one step at a...

    Why Don't Others Try To Conquer The World?

    Has anyone ever really tried to take over the globe? The only real example I can think of is the cold war.

    Why Don't Others Try To Conquer The World?

    Do you mean conquer militarily or take over the world with proselytizing?

    Random just means that all outcomes are equally likely. Most people mistake the word random for uncertain.

    Bacon, Ham, Sausage bad as Smoking (WHO)

    The WHO didn't say it's as bad as smoking. Augustus in post 41 above has the numbers they gave. I keep reading headlines that say that processed meats have been placed in the same category as smoke and asbestos (i.e. carcinogens), but even that is stronger than what the WHO actually said.

    Why has LHR hijacked the word magic?

    Seriously though... Again, the answer is that my words and the meaning they convey are my responsibility. It makes me feel a little bit warm and fuzzy inside that my word choices make some people mad. It gives me a little bit of power over them. Magic in particular doesn't need to conform to...

    Why has LHR hijacked the word magic?

    Once my disciples came to me and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” I replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of Hell has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what...

    Naiive question about some headgear I saw recently

    Thank you! I learned something tonight. I'm interested where they come from, and noticed your last link had ads for them ($825!). Do you know where they come from traditionally? Can one make one's own with dark cardboard for the outside and parchment calligraphy for the scriptures, or would a...

    Naiive question about some headgear I saw recently

    Also: that OP title should have read Naiive question, not native. This autocorrection messes me up.

    Naiive question about some headgear I saw recently

    yes! the boy in the pic has the same hat. What is it? what does it do? I think it might have been during a holy period. It was a few weeks ago.

    Naiive question about some headgear I saw recently

    At a hub airport in the US recently I saw what looked to me like an Orthodox Jew teenage boy. Dark coat, big black hat, curly sideburns. He was pacing around and reading a book but on his forehead he was wearing what looked like a little square black tophat, maybe 2 inches per side. What was that?

    Natural Selection and Reproductive Organs

    Sum of Awe: Scientists can explain the evolution of sex very well, probably better than just about anything else. Like the eye, sex organs and sex in general have a continuum of structures ranging from barely functional and looking like something else to what humans have today. Some people don't...
