  • It’s funnier than that because in one of the hadiths it says, to quote:

    “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The prayer of a person who does Hadath (passes urine, stool or wind) is not accepted till he performs the ablution.” A person from Hadaramout asked Abu Huraira, “What is ‘Hadath’?” Abu Huraira replied, " ‘Hadath’ means the passing of wind.”"

    ““The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked about a man who felt something during his prayer – should he stop praying? He said, ‘No, not unless you hear a sound or detect an odour.’””

    So if you let out one of those silent farts that don’t smell, it doesn’t count.



  • The only time I would give a military discount would be if you are a military member that meets the following criteria:

    • You were conscripted for a defensive war

    OR

    • You volunteered (as in you weren’t paid) to fight a defensive war

    If you fight for a professional army, you’re a professional, and professionals don’t need discounts because they’re doing what they’re paid to do.

    Again, is it empty because it’s just sitting there, fully habitable and just accruing value, or is it empty because it’s under renovation, or in-between purchases so someone up the chain is buying and the house is sitting vacant while it’s being sold, but not for long enough for anyone else to be living there? Or currently sitting in legal limbo where a large number of people inherit a house and can’t all agree to sell it? I don’t know about the US but I know Malta has that problem where there needs to be consensus among all members of the estate before a property can be sold, so it sits empty, potentially for years.

    Why should someone get to choose exactly where they want to live when they have nowhere to live currently? Not even the Soviet Union gave you that option. You were given an apartment, but you didn’t get to choose where it was, you got an apartment where there was one available and where your job was. In the case of the unemployed, you technically also got an apartment, but that was because you couldn’t legally be unemployed and were forced to work regardless.

    So it’s not a ‘liberal’ thing to forcibly move people to where there’s housing, it’s actually a Communist thing.

    Is that more houses that are unoccupied in the long-term or just unoccupied in general?

    You’d also need to forcibly move the homeless population away from areas that have lots of homeless but no homes, to places with lots of homes but relatively few homeless. That means depopulating Los Angeles of homeless and instead moving them to… Maine, or Vermont, or Alaska, where there are lots of homes but nobody living in them.



  • It depends on what your museum is trying to convey. If it’s moments of gaming history and games and consoles of significance, I’d go with:

    For the earliest video games, I’d show the Tennis for Two on the DuMont Lab Ocilloscope, released in 1958.

    You should also include the life of Warren Robinett, because he was the first ever game programmer to receive in-game credit for a game he made, because Atari never gave their programmers credit, but he snuck one in as an easter egg. He then went on to found the Learning Company which made all those Reader Rabbit games.

    For the Crash of 1983, you have to include ET for the Atari 2600 as the posterboy, but “Pitfall!” should also be included. Pitfall was a good game, but it was the breakout hit of Activision and therefore proof that third-party video games were viable, leading to the glut of video games which, in combination with ET being such a colossal failure, caused the crash.

    For the resurgence after the crash, the Nintendo Entertainment System, but specifically the one that came with the little robot to help you play games. It’s essential that you convey that Nintendo intended to sell it as a toy rather than a games console because the games market in the US had completely died in the crash, but the toy market was very much alive.
