Fuck Nestle, Kit Kats are made by Nestle.

You really should be providing a source when you make these kinds of claims:

Joel Myers' Wikipedia article is pretty damning. He does sound like an asshole.

Myers faced criticism in 2005 when he supported the National Weather Service Duties Act of 2005, a bill ... that would have prohibited the National Weather Service from publishing weather data to the public when private-sector entities, such as AccuWeather, perform the same function commercially.

That's just a normal functional relationship.

Can you point to a reference? I don't think you are recalling the story correctly.

They were money changers (currency exchange) and merchants, not a single tax collector.

Jesus cleansed the temple twice, it wasn't a single event.

Matthew was a tax collector, one of his key disciples. Jesus was also compassionate towards Zaccheus, who was a wealthy tax collector. Zaccheus was wise enough to repent from his over-taxing of citizens, however.

“apple” used to be a generic term for fruit.

Oh, that explains the myth that Adam and Eve at an apple, when a specific fruit is never mentioned.

I like the imagery of the last post because it was tapping into the idea of waves and how sub-atomic particles behave like waves.

However, erm actually 🤓 ...

you pet your dog and the electron-orbitals of your skin overlap with the electron-orbitals of his fur

No, they don't overlap. Electrons are negatively charged, and like repels like. The orbitals will repel each other. This repulsion is the reason why you can feel the fur.

Edit: I'm getting nay-sayers that reckon they do. Please provide a reference that explains inter-molecular orbitals that cause bonding for a hand touching fur. The only thing I can think of this happening is for transition states. This would require a chemical reaction. I don't think we categorise "touch" under "requiring a chemical reaction".

Because the structure of the transition state is a first-order saddle point along a potential energy surface, the population of species in a reaction that are at the transition state is negligible. Since being at a saddle point along the potential energy surface means that a force is acting along the bonds to the molecule, there will always be a lower energy structure that the transition state can decompose into. This is sometimes expressed by stating that the transition state has a fleeting existence, with species only maintaining the transition state structure for the time-scale of vibrations of chemical bonds (femtoseconds).

maintaining a property

Your mistake is in framing "owning a property" as "maintaining a property".

I sure as hell can’t keep up with my own home, let alone another.

This is exactly the problem. Many people will rent out their building, and not be up to the task to keep it habitable.

This is a dead cat.
