Never give cops your phone, yes. Also, don't use biometrics to lock your phone. Police can legally force you to unlock with your thumb print, they legally (and like, physically) cannot force you to reveal a passcode stored only in your brain.

30 years ago that's just who he was. The local fuckstick who would pick crazy arguments at the bar. It was almost a rite of passage in Austin to get into a fight with him.

Transubstantiation is kind of in the Bible. Matthew 26:26-28

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

The discussion of transubstantiation is just how literal "my body/blood" is.

That's not exactly what the Haka is. They were often performed as a precursor to war, but not exclusively. They're also used as a celebratory ritual, you'll see modern day Maori doing a haka for kids graduating school for example.

There's a big difference between someone who is/thinks they're funny, and someone who does comedy as a hobby.

Good idea, but again: wool socks will stay surprisingly warm even while wet.

If you're in the arctic circle long enough, it helps to have many options though.

Layers are the way to go.

  1. Long Underwear, a long sleeve breathable undershirt, good WOOL socks
  2. A sweater or other medium-thickness top garment.
  3. Waterproof snow pants and coat.

Good boots, preferably waterproof if you'll be in the snow a fair amount. Definitely good so you have better grip on snowy/icy ground. Thin "liner" gloves and thick waterproof gloves to go over those. A warm hat that covers your ears (I really appreciated my trapper hat when I went to Tromsø).

Avoid cotton. Cotton is horrible at insulating if it gets wet, as opposed to wool which can keep you warm while fully drenched.

You don't have to like his music, but Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band is one of the realest dudes in the music industry.

Useful alternative app: Google calendar. Or any of a hundred other calendar apps.

There are specialized scheduling apps for most things as well. I know for sure there are a ton of gardening apps.

You could also like...sit down at the subway and eat your sandwich.

A sub is a pretty difficult driving meal though, if you have any care for the cleanliness of your car. Lots of ingredients threatening to spill out of the bread at any moment.
