We don't really. The largest group is obviously Christian. The second largest group in every state is those with no religion, but they are ignored here. And the remaining 1-13 percent is split among a number of minority groups, meaning that the second largest religion in each state is only about <1-6 percent of the population.

Why are there whales on Pike's Enterprise? I was under the impression that cetacean ops was a ultimately a result the events of Star Trek IV, which haven't happened yet.

That guy also said 'don't virtue signal'.

He used it wrong. He placed the back of the rpg launcher against his shoulder as if it were a buttstock of a rifle.

It is kind of hard to see, though, since a branch is in the way.

Well, I guess your thumb disappeared.

I can try another way the blind spot is about 15 cm at arms length to the right of the right eyes center of vision. So put your thumb there and it should disappear

Because of this we have blind spots, one for each eye. They are not usually noticeable because 1) the blind spot of one eye can usually be seen by the other, and 2) the brain fills in the gap.

So with this I will perform a magic trick, I will make your thumb disappear: Close your left eye and with your right look at a spot in the background, make a thumbs up gesture and place the tip of your thumb on that spot, move your thumb to the the right continuing to look at the spot in the background, when your thumb moves about 15 cm your thumb should disappear.

You can use your left eye too, just switch the directions.

Voting isn't like a test, where the questions are unknown before you get your hands on it. Sample ballots are available well before you go to vote, allowing you to research all the candidates and ballot issues as much as you want, before showing up at a polling location.

Lots of people doing something for fun but not taking it seriously is just an advertisement for people that will take it seriously.

German is not the same as Germanic. Both German and English evolved from a common ancestor, which we call Proto-Germanic.

'Who' and 'Where' are '*hwaz' and '*hwar' in Proto-Germanic.

I would say that in this case German strayed more than English.
