  • Yeah my son was given a copy for Christmas and reading it for the second time ever I have to agree it’s well written. Lots of little details that are simultaneously fun and world/character building.

    Eg: Hagrid giving Dudley a pig tail and then grumbling that he’d tried to turn him into a pig, but it turns out he’s already so piglike he’s only missing a tail. It is funny (for a 7 year old), it builds Dudley’s character and also foreshadows Hagrid’s iffy relationship with magic.




  • Ambient air temp when the bottle is cooling probably also plays a role, more or less shrink before it “freezes”

    Yeah I agree with that. Also maybe inconsistency with the plastic batch.

    But also milk jugs are blown directly from pellets, no threaded blank. Water bottles and pop bottles go from threaded blanks though.

    I don’t remember seeing washing but I guess that would be on the filling side, (jugs are made on one side of the plant then go through a wall to the clean side) I don’t think I’ve seen that for milk.



  • Honestly I agree, I only pointed it out because of the irony of a pedant insisting others ought to use words according to their formal definitions while misusing formal English.

    “Right” is a bad word to end a sentence with

    “Right” is a bad word with which to end a sentence because it can be mis-parsed as as an invitation to agreement.

    Also as a non-christian: I think you’ve got it backwards. Christians believe that she was a virgin because they believe Jesus was their god. Basically that it doesn’t make sense to them that a perfect being could be gestated inside a dirty sex having woman, so it must be that she was a virgin.

    Also Jesus had a habit of giving people nicknames (eg Simon Peter - the rock) I could see him having a disciple Mary the virgin and another one Mary the mother that got conflated. There’s no evidence for this but idk it still seems more likely than virgin birth.
