And glad to hear it. Still not sure what makes you think I didn't go to school, get firewood, or get groceries, or how I'd somehow associate those with Appalachian Redneckticity, or how I strike you as Bostonian, but have at it. Always a pleasure. How did people know what skate means in the sense clued? I couldn't find it online or by googling. Or maybe the work of Resa Aslan, who does a fine job writing about the history of religion and does a good job of explaining the difference between that which is religion and that which is cultural?
Or maybe you mean Edward Said and his work on how otherizing leads to faulty understanding? Or maybe you mean I should ask the Hajji I worked with for 15 years? Or maybe the Doctor of Sociology who worked as my community liaison and translator? How did people know what skate means in the clued sense? I couldn't find that meaning online, in an online dictionary or elsewhere. But only briefly. I remember in the s my new girlfriend was a little bit more of a rebel than I.
The cozies had Pepsi and 7 Up labels So the cops wouldn't hassle us. Feels good to be a gangsta! This was a pretty good puzzle which seemed to take ages but actually didn't. I guess my brain was just working extra hard. I mentioned the word MECCA and not understanding why it would ever be considered a"magnet" - for lack of a better word for gays.
I've mentioned plenty of times here that all types of religion interest me. The Koran, the Muslims holy book, tells the story of Lot and the destruction of Sodom. Men having sex with each other should be punished according to the Koran. From what I've read, the death penalty comes from the saying of the Prophet Muhammad Methods of killing They believe all gays should be tossed from high buildings.
My entry above was supposed to read: Though she tried and tried, the bride still cried as she scried during her screed. SKATE in this sense was pretty easy here. I know I now keep a close eye on all Christians because terrorism is a part of the religion. The Bible even requires stoning children to death. Americans saying the same sort of things about a billion Muslims do not seem to know how absurd what they are saying is.
Z is right. Look at all those rainbow flags in Riyadh, Tehran, Jakarta!! And hey, full disclosure, my Parish has thrown several people with same sex attraction from the steeple just like ISIS. And remember kids the I in Isis stands for Islamic. But yeah, in no way is Islam a religion of the sword and barbarism. Better late than never! The closest I could find is from Lexico: " skate through Make quick and easy progress through.
Rex's write-up just goes to show how differently a puzzle can go for different people. The nail in the NW's coffin was deciding rIce was served with shawarma.
That held me up for a long time. Subtle is good. Duggan, thanks for the struggle on a Friday. Very nice. I heard it called gorp before it was called trail mix and before it became retrofitted as an acronym ; but according to that REI article both terms have been around for a long time. If only I'd known about Eero's father the puzzle would have been easier. Pretty good puzzle, even if I dislike clued like that for 60A which require one to have memorized a corporate logo.
It's Scrabble third base, at the very least. Despite all the excitement, I fell asleep doing this last night, when it seemed noticeably harder than this morning. Eero I know from way back in the day. Still, a pretty impressive puzzle. Pleasant grid, only six 3-letter answers that I saw.
Fairly low on the POC. A good way to start the weekend. Speaking of which: Happy Friday, all! Z, I dare you to go to Plaza Senayan waring this sign and repeating the word out loud: The Prophet is pleased with homosexuality.
Better yet, Head over to the Islamic center of Ashville and wave a rainbow flag. Put your money where your mouth is. All very valid words; the toughest might have been this shortie.
I think this is the quickest I've ever got to QB! Louis riverfront. Eero won, of course, by the person in charge of notifying the winner mistakenly send the telegram to Eliel, the father. The family broke out champagne to toast his victory, and then the telegram correcting the mistake came.
Eliel was gracious, and toasted his son. Louis native here, and as I wrote that, it occurred to me that in the same way we are re-examining "Columbus Day" and other celebrations of the genocide of Indigenous people in the Americas, maybe we shouldn't be holding up "westward expansion" as an ideal either.
That said, some other fun facts about the Arch: - It's now a National Park. Proud to have one in my native city, but it's not exactly what I think of as a National Park. It jerks between vertical and horizontal to make the climb and descent. Great puzzle with some very fun answers and clues. While I'm here Z - while I think there are more places in this country that are tolerant toward homosexuality than perhaps 40 years ago see David Sedaris on witnessing a flamboyant nephew in NC , I believe there is still a demographic move toward gay meccas for more easy acceptance, community, and jobs in fields the gay population tends to work in, i.
It applies especially well for a Mecca in the sense of a pilgrimage site such as Fire Island, Provincetown, Greek Islands, etc. Thanks to all the posts today, "ice machine in the kitchen" now has a whole new meaning:. Everything you said, Lewis! Loved loved loved everything about this puzzle. So clever. Louis and the Arch. LOVED this puzzle! I picked it up, said "gay mecca" and I was off to the races.
This might be my fastest Friday ever. Everything about it seemed not stodgy. One more thought about how liberal this puzzle appears. The titanic, cavernous lobby, the quarter-mile-long, foot-wide spiraling ramp to the elevator, the oddly shortened room with the Purposeless alcove. There was a pencil cup with about 35 perfectly sharpened pencils and no wastewater basket just a long, narrow shelf with a placemat that said Throw Away on one half and Recycle on the other.
The shelf wasn't wide enough to serve as a desk and there was no chair anyway also no closet. But that was 40 years ago. Not sure about now. There is however still a hiking-related site called Gorp. Imagine your grizzled grandpa setting out in the early 70s with his wooden staff, ancient hiking boots, and wool socks.
Arriving late to the party, but : Z, my "check your sources" comment referred to one specific statement you made : "such hate has nothing to do with Islam".
I'm having a hard time seeing where any of your personal interactions with people of that faith, or studies you have encountered relating to it, has anything to do with the reality of the situation. You cite Wikipedia.
I personally was indoctrinated with Catholicism from 8 years of grammar school, 4 years of high school and my first 2 years of college I no longer practice, and I certainly don't deny all the evidence of mis-guided wrong doing in Christianitys' history.
Facts are facts. Late to the party, but And, same article, Homosexual acts are forbidden in traditional Islamic jurisprudence and are liable to different punishments, including stoning and the death penalty,[5][11] depending on the situation and legal school.
No one is denying that there are wonderful people associated with all religions, but "Such hate has nothing to do with Islam". Signature cocktails and craft beer.

If the game supports multiple fire modes, the right button often provides secondary fire from the selected weapon. Games with only a single fire mode will generally map secondary fire to ironsights.
In some games, the right button may also provide bonus options for a particular weapon, such as allowing access to the scope of a sniper rifle or allowing the mounting of a bayonet or silencer. Gamers can use a scroll wheel for changing weapons or for controlling scope-zoom magnification, in older games. On most FPS games, programming may also assign more functions to additional buttons on mice with more than three controls. A keyboard usually controls movement for example, WASD for moving forward, left, backward and right, respectively and other functions such as changing posture.
Since the mouse serves for aiming, a mouse that tracks movement accurately and with less lag latency will give a player an advantage over players with less accurate or slower mice. Many games provide players with the option of mapping their own choice of a key or button to a certain control.
An early technique of players, circle strafing, saw a player continuously strafing while aiming and shooting at an opponent by walking in circle around the opponent with the opponent at the center of the circle. Players could achieve this by holding down a key for strafing while continuously aiming the mouse towards the opponent. Games using mice for input are so popular that many manufacturers make mice specifically for gaming.
Such mice may feature adjustable weights, high-resolution optical or laser components, additional buttons, ergonomic shape, and other features such as adjustable CPI. Many games, such as first- or third-person shooters, have a setting named "invert mouse" or similar not to be confused with "button inversion", sometimes performed by left-handed users which allows the user to look downward by moving the mouse forward and upward by moving the mouse backward the opposite of non-inverted movement.
This control system resembles that of aircraft control sticks, where pulling back causes pitch up and pushing forward causes pitch down; computer joysticks also typically emulate this control-configuration. This and other games using the Build engine had an option to invert the Y-axis. The "invert" feature actually made the mouse behave in a manner that users now [update] regard as non-inverted by default, moving mouse forward resulted in looking down. Soon after, id Software released Quake , which introduced the invert feature as users now [update] know it.
Other games using the Quake engine have come on the market following this standard, likely due to the overall popularity of Quake. In the educational video game system, the VTech Socrates, featured a wireless mouse with an attached mouse pad as an optional controller used for some games. In the early s the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game system featured a mouse in addition to its controllers. The Mario Paint game in particular used the mouse's capabilities, as did its successor on the Nintendo Sony Computer Entertainment released an official mouse product for the PlayStation console, and included one along with the Linux for PlayStation 2 kit.
