New regulation in effect in Baden-Württemberg: any new appartment building has to include two weatherproof bicycle parking spaces for every appartment.

I don't own a car anymore, been taking my bike everywhere for more than a decade, so... yay. No more cluttering the hallways with dirty bikes. Then again, I live on the other side of the country.

Fyi: Greens run Baden-Württemberg.

That is as factual as any of it. If people enter hell because they don't worship the correct god in the correct way, but have no way to tell which way/god is correct, or if any is, that is no fault of their own. If your proclaimed system was fair, god needs to come to each person and make them KNOW his truth, then offer them the choice to reject it. That's not what happens, no matter how many rainbows and sunsets you see.

I won't go to hell then, and neither will any real atheist. I've never seen/heard/read anything convincing about any religion...ever. I don't 'know there's a god' or right way to worship, it seems far more likely there isn't. I say this with all honesty and not because it's somehow convenient or I'm 'angry at god'. I did not 'reject' him, I don't think he exists to reject.

Mathew 7:14 seems to repeat what I said, it's incredibly hard to find the way into heaven and most people won't find the way...according to your brand of religion. It's not that they reject the way, they can't find it, even though many looked with vigor.

No, it's like some guy telling you in the courtroom hallway that the judge will say that, but no one has ever seen it happen, or even seen the judge or what happens after your case is heard, there are no ex cons at all anywhere. This is the same guy that's telling you what the law is, but make no mistake, he's not a lawyer and he's telling you things that make no sense at all (like the judge will let you off for murder if you just SAY you won't do it again).
I don't think even the most hard core murderers and rapist have NO remorse, only the true psychopaths and they're rare.

When I die and god and Jesus are there asking me questions and telling me what the rules really were, I'll believe in them and say so clearly, and admit I was wrong. Not a nano second before they prove themselves though.

Ahhh, but did we have a flat EKG and brain scan on Jesus to prove he even died? ;-)
Also, yes, 3 days later! If you eat poorly prepared blowfish you can go into a total paralysis that looks like death, and come out of it 3 days later +-! It's how Voodoo practitioners probably made 'zombies'. That doesn't happen every day, but often enough that you can't bury people in Japan right away if they eat sushi.

Still sounds like a logical fallacy to me, with some people shoving their heads in the sand to avoid seeing it. I say you can't have it both ways, the punishment is eternity in hell and Jesus should have stayed no matter how special he and his pops are, and since he left (after less than 3 days? pussy!), he didn't even take the punishment he expects humans to, forget taking that amount of punishment for each person. Saying he's 'special' so he didn't have to is ridiculous and shows the mind bending mental acrobatics you must do to make sense of this. It reminds me of the 'I'm too rich to have to go to prison' defense.

Oh, I see, I misunderstood what you were saying about the soul.

This is somewhat humorous, although probably less so for the poor guy stuck behind that wall:

Hope he was alright, being stuck in that position too long isn't good for one's health.

From Russia.

February 14 Barnaul rescuers, gouging a hole in the wall of the hallway, got out of the ventilation shaft a man who was there for unknown reasons.

Rescuers and medical staff were called by residents, who heard the heart-rending cries for help from their kitchen ventilation. Emergency workers arrived at the scene who gouged a hole in the wall in the hallway and got out a man . According to one eyewitness , during rescue operations man shouted "I go-oo-oo." (? "Я иду-у-у")

After the man was extracted from the ventilation shaft, he was examined by the first aid officers who had arrived.

The accident happened in one of the houses in the area of Barnaul "Malachowski ring."

P.S. Actually, it was a drug addict who was going through a ventilation shaft and climb to rob residents of the house, but fell into the trap and thus no mercy.

P.P.S. he refused hospitalization and ran for a new dose.

I don't think they're supposed to fly out into the hallway like that! Also, some of this deserves some slow-motion.

America needs to get over their obsession with their flag, it's seriously creepy. Walking through some nondescript hallway in JFK the other day and there were was like 30 of the things littering the place for no reason. There's being proud of your country and your flag, then there's this level of obsession. In America, the Holy Trinity is God, Jesus and the Flag

It's almost like one of those awkward moments in the hallway where you and another person keep moving in the same direction in an attempt to got out of the others way, only at 80 mph.

I used to have a job fetching new roles of paper for big industrial printers. As best I can recall, each one contained a 22-inch wide by 90 mile long piece of paper, weighed in the neighborhood of a ton and was strapped to a palette. If you got the wheel of the palette jack stuck in the crack separating the freight elevator from the hallway, it was a problem. If you were unusually clumsy and let one topple over onto its side, it was a very big problem.

One of the coolest scenes from Akira, imho, was when he got out of the room and pushed out in a sphere in the hallway.

Matrix ripped it off for the "death" of Smith.

It's a dick, son.
Yeah right? What's up with the dick church?? It's a Christian Science church so there's a good chance they only realized what they had done after it was constructed. Love to see the interior.
Wondering if parishioners dress in semen-white choir robes and run down that hallway really fast into the hall of worship every Sunday?

I was a bit of a System Shock snob when Doom came out till I went to a friend of a friend and played Doom on his LAN.

I remember noticing a crevice on the map I could hide in that was adjacent to a hallway. Sure enough someone chased me as I was coming up on that hallway, hid.. other guy ran past and I got him in the back.

..Doom it was!

@jonny - I'm pretty much with you. These same "dilemmas" were presented to me in a college class (Psych? Philo?) and I objected to the 2nd one on the basis that I can't imagine a bystander fat enough to reliably stop a train, and if they were I wouldn't be able to push them off a ledge.

The TA that was teaching the class said that the idea is to just treat it like a Newtonian Physics problem (ie., everything is a frictionless sphere or make all assumptions to reduce complexity wherever possible). In the scenario, just accept that you KNOW that you are capable of pushing the dude off, that you KNOW he will stop the train, and that you KNOW that you have insufficient mass/strength to jump off yourself and stop the train.

I get how that limits the variables and therefore draws a more concrete difference between various answers to the situation, but to me it also limits the interest I have in the question. My brain doesn't work that way, my problem solving center engages automatically and tries to find pitfalls and assign success rates rather than just "assume this will work".

I think I'd rather see the situations / dilemmas reworked to have a more realistic expectation of success. Maybe something like a rampaging lion on the loose, and you can swing a door currently blocking a room with 1 person inside to instead block a room with 5 people inside (situation 1); or you are above a hallway with a lion running towards 5 people and have an opportunity to push somebody into the lion's path which would give the 5 people enough time to run out of the hall and lock a door (situation 2). I think my "hungry lion" dilemmas have fewer physics pitfalls than the traditional train dilemmas.

So they make doors and hallways so tiny that they have to move stuff in through the window?

And what's up w/ those grates? Is that what they call balcony? You open a door and can fit 1/2 of your toes on it?

You ever thrown a hotdog down a hallway?
