Shows how much you know. It improves my concentration and focus, and helps me be aware of God as I go about my day, every time my stomach rumbles. Fasting helps break the hold of worldly desires on a person, and is something People actually look forward to, because of the benefits.

Moo-slim is the correct pronunciation.

Muslims living in those regions (like Norway) use the Mecca fasting times instead, since it's a similar longitude.

Fasting during Ramadan is a test from God, and one that purifies you spiritually and helps you focus on spirituality and train yourself to ignore your physical desires (and yes it works). Muslims say God requires every healthy adult to fast (exceptions for traveling, pregnancy, illness, etc). Unlike a lot of other…

I wouldn't call the sahoor (the pre-dawn meal) a "trick" if it's explicitly stated in the religion that we SHOULD do it. Otherwise good article.

So to sum it up, you don't have curtains in your home, and thus can't see why others would care about having them. That's the analogy.

Nest doesn't merely collect temperatures, the beauty of the system is that it detects when you come and go, and turns on and off the system to save electricity, and once it learns your routine, does it in advance so the room reaches the right temperature before you get home. You don't think an intelligence agency…

I'm sure google doesn't have malicious designs on your data and would fire employees that try to abuse your info, but what's to stop the NSA from using it?

and the NSA will ask to watch the feeds, and google will comply and not tell you.

Uh huh, absolutely no middle ground here. Either we allow people to spill HIV+ blood all over one another or ban all sports. No room for compromise.

Everyone loves to pick on Sansa, but let's be fair, she's being held hostage. If she fights anyone or mouths off, they'll kill her. Look at how Joffrey tortured her and would any of us handle it any better?

The solution really isn't that difficult. Turn off iMessage before you switch to a different phone or remove the SIM card. It should de-register your device.

" Mannis gave the box to his mother, who suffered a stroke on the same day."

You're forgetting the context. According to Genesis, God told Cain he'd lose all his blessings and would be cut off from God and His protection and would be sent to wander. Cain complained that the punishment was too much and being in the wilderness would mean any creature or person could kill him easily, so God gave…

It's just not enough. Switch to PGP or S/MIME, people.

Come on, Jalopnik. This was already debunked; it's being built for a movie http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/original…

But she's our everyman comedian. Look at her, she acts like a teenager. Isn't that funny?

Rabbits are the first step, then they move on to primates then humans.

Oh knock it off, you're trying to promote a conflict when there isn't one. Religion and science are compatible, it's like asking if religion and plumbing are compatible. (Then again, I'm in a non-Christian religion so we don't have those dogmatic issues.)

You haven't even seen it yet, how can you hate it already?
