Advice on where to hide that stash of porn?

Advice on where to hide that stash of porn?
1. Find the file or folder you want to hide.
2. Right-click it, and select "Properties."
3. In the menu that appears, check the box that's labeled "Hidden." ...
4. Click "OK" at the bottom of the window.
5. Your file or folder is now hidden.
Do people still buy porn magazines in the digital age? My sister works at a rest stop and they sell adult magazines including DVDs. They are kind of porn-ish, but not really hard core. They are mostly bought by truck drivers. Apparently there is a rest stop market for that kind of stuff.

No. The volume of the body of water might increase in the rain but once underwater, maximum saturation occurs almost instantly.

Something I have wondered about since i was first made aware of as a teenager, why have so few people had sex with a virgin? Mathematically the experience would seem much more common than it apparently is.
For that matter, what's this widespread fascination so many people have with having sex with a virgin? Immortality in that person's memory? What?
^ I had sex with a virgin. It sucks. They don't know what to do or how to do it. :bluesad:
I didn't have intercourse with her, because I realized just by making out she had no clue. She was 27!
I think everybody has had sex with a virgin. I mean, we were all virgins once, right? :question:

Why haven't we changed a geometrical circle from 360 degrees to 100 degrees? It'd make more sense. because a hundred is much easier to work with. You know why we have 360-degree circles anyway? Because the ancient Mesopotamians thought there were 360 days in a year. There's a hundred days in a year, you dead Babylonian a***oles, so that's another point in its favor.

Perhaps because 360 is divisible by more numbers than 100: it can be split into halves, thirds, quarters, fifths and sixths without resorting to fractions.

His body would've walked out of the grave. He rose to heaven later.
He always seemed to have powers which defied normal explanations, & after His resurrection he seemed to gain more powers. Personally, I'd say appearing in a room is stranger than floating to heaven.

If I sit on a toilet, I achieve to empty my bowels.
I don't see me achieving anything by arguing about 'God'. It never got anybody anywhere, except fighting people you don't know.
I don't see atheists starting Holy wars.
See, I enjoy topics like this, and in the '10s I used to have a friend, Dan, a Talmudic scholar with whom I could go deep with these subjects and he never treated any of it with enough passion to become angry over any philosophical musings on G-d, his religion, or much of anything metaphysical. (Alas he got a brain tumor and it changed him for the worse, poor man....)
I've always felt that to debate the existence of God, though, is rather pointless except as a logical exercise, as God either is or God is not, God is either active in human life, or God isn't, and neither position can be proven with what we have at our disposal, and each side can make good points on the matter. I'm willing to entertain the idea that God may be a human construct, but it's not what I think is likely, since both science and religion address the question of origin by saying at some point there had to have been an uncreated creator, and this would seem in my mind to define God, an omnipotent force that had no personal genesis.
To discuss the doctrines and claims of a specific religion, however, is no different than discussing the rule book that came along with a board game. There you can often show right or wrong in people's opinions on dogma, and reveal that a lot of people don't know as much about their own faiths as they think they do.
Believing in God is hard for me and only comes through logic, frankly, and some of the best arguments against there being a God do often register with me. Alex's post today was intriguing to consider.
I mean this one:
"Oh hell no. Just creating something does not mean you should have any control over them. If we could build people and then control them that would be called slavery. Oh and it would also go against the concept of free will."
All I can think to say to that is that if God exists then God feels a right to do with us whatever God wishes, and an argument can be made that this is both anti-free will and tyrannical, but if God is real, then there isn't much we can do about this allegedly all-powerful entity doing whatever is deemed fitting. We can also say maybe God's broader perspective means God's works are ultimately just and merciful, despite how they seem to us with our limited perspective.
In this life we cannot know, which means we may never know.

Why do they have hamburger fast food chains, but not hot dogs?
...
Because hamburgers sell better and with a much higher profit margin.

Here in Germany Ikea's hot dogs are quite famous. People visit Ikea just to eat their hot dogs. It's the reason why Ikea's inside the store restaurants pop up as most popular "fast food chains" in year end lists right behind BK and McD. I'm sure if Ikea would do fast food chains on the side they would be a success.

McDonalds Germany tried to establish hot dogs not too long ago, but they weren't in high demand so they dropped them again.

On a side note, they also tried their hand at Germany's favorite street food Currywurst, but it flopped big time.

Why don't they sell hot dogs at McDonald's? Or most fast food joints?
That's all I would buy! A saurkraut dog with mustard!
:teddyr:
(sauerrkraut and hot dog on a bun wouldn't fly here even though Germany made sauerkraut popular. They just don't eat hot dogs in combination with kraut on a bun. That's a food taboo here. Go figure. However, sauerkraut with bratwurst -not on a bun- is a typical German meal.)

Damn- you remember a post about hot dogs from 2 years ago??? :buggedout:
You also recalled that I wrote about BATTLE: LOS ANGLES too! What- are you Data from Star Trek?
As far as saurkraut and hot dogs- all our fast food is bizzare imitations of other countries cuisine- no Mexican food I have ever eaten tastes like Taco Bell. Taco Bell is dog food. Buy a pizza in Italy- I'm sure it's not Pizza Hut with stuffed cheese crust with ham and pineapple.

But I can remember garbage that happened 50 years ago.
Ugh.
Are computers sentient? What even is sentience?

Are computers sentient? What even is sentience?
Sentience, "feeling or sensation as distinguished from perception and thought" (Miriam-Webster); " the capacity to be aware of feelings and sensations. The word was first coined by philosophers in the 1630s for the concept of an ability to feel, derived from Latin sentientem, to distinguish it from the ability to think." (Wikipedia).
So, I would say no; advanced computers arguably might be able to think, but they do not feel.
