Reply to comment by al666in in TIL that in the UK, it is a crime to make new copies of the King James Bible. Although the text is technically in the public domain, the Crown claims Royal prerogative over the right to print, publish and distribute it. by al666in
Ya the king James version is known for being a particularly bad translation.

Reply to State police investigating death at shooting scene outside Beaver County Walmart by Agreeable-Rooster-37
Dreadful headline. Should read. "State police investigating killing of man providing CPR. The alleged killer is a plainclothes officer that has not been taken into custody."
Article should then be focused on asking police when they expect to catch the killer, asking tough on crime politicians what should be done when the killer is caught. Public advised to stay safe as the killer is loose. Etc.

Utah sounds like it would be no fun.
I get that there are beautiful places to go and explore but there are beautiful places to go explore everywhere. I don't want to also navigate the most convoluted laws in a place that has far too many soda shoppes.

What state is that? I personally get the different ones for fun, but not by force.

Notice that his excuse is "just asking a question". The typical fall back for openly racist assertions.

Reply to comment by DefiantStomp in TIL the term “cloud cuckoo land” goes back to the Ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, who used it for a utopian city of birds in his farce, the Birds by Mr_Westerfield
In the US people say cuckoo land but leave out cloud.
