Does suicide not count?
Suicide is an effective puberty blocker, albeit off-label.

I am amused by the new turntables that come equipped with USB and Bluetooth.
There are also vinyl record stores popping up, not just selling old records, but new ones too.
Are the stores brick and mortar, or just vinyl?

Re: Tennessee: Gun Owner Financial Privacy Legislation Headed to Governor Lee

Normal people neither care that their credit card company is categorizing their purchases (that is how they get their mileage points and cash back after all). People who want mileage points and cash back are the very ones who care obsessively about MCCs. If I'm using a card that gives 5x for grocer...

Re: Public libraries. 21st Century saloons?

The biggest reason why mills are closing and logging jobs are vanishing is improvements in productivity. It simply takes 1 logger today to do the same amount of work that required 50 loggers a century ago. And the wood products industry is similarly evolving. The old rural mills that used to make 2...

Re: Hindus, Muslims, and Christians

Ken- Would you object to a theoretical public American school that was 100% staffed by, and 100% of the students and their parents, and 100% of the school board etc., was the same religion, and openly promoted their religion in that school? I’m thinking sort of olden days when roughly everyone shar...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper

OJ, here is the teaching from the Catechism of the Catholic Church which is an official teaching document of the Magisterium. I excised the relevant bits but I would also caution that this excerpt is also a part of a larger section and should be read in the context of the whole which is far too lon...

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.

I'm simply suggesting giving parents new tools through the cellular providers to better monitor and control what their children are doing. That's a good thing that will probably work well for involved and caring parents. But you probably know better than I do that not all parents are, and that thei...

Re: Seattle’s (former?) Capitol Hill neighborhood

I'm just assuming that this obsession with places like Capitol Hill is coming from the right wing media of which FOX is just a handy proxy. Obsession? The thread was dormant for six months; t1 posted one news link (from a community news site, not Fox, not right wing media of any description). She's...

Re: "Good Friday" and Matthew 12:40

Well, once you disagree with Aquinas about several other things, what's one more? :) But you're right, minority views do have a higher burden of proof. The fringier the view, the more scrutiny it deserves. At least for me, this issue isn't a major one, and it's more a matter of probability than cert...
