Some of the nonstandard stuff I learned in high school was not useful and probably does not belong in a normal curriculum, but local conditions tell me that not enough Appalachian adults know the geological concept of Angle Of Repose. Because too many of the local fucking structures in our notably-angular fucking region are fucking Reposing. Erosion-related concepts should actually probably even…

“Haven't I Told You Not to Take Yourself outside of the Law?”: Rabbi Yirmiyah and the Characterization of a Scholastic | AJS Review | Cambri The paper looks at several episodes in which R.

Several of my medical providers use cheap VoIP phone services with out-of-state numbers, and most of them don’t leave messages.
