@veritechpilot @CapitolMoment @stonetoss We are not grafted in. The day Jesus died we separated in its entirety. Israelites were so horrific, they ignored God and killed his son for saying they were wrong. The Jews will burn for eternity because they literally cannot repent without renunciation of Judism
English
@SoundingRod67 @CapitolMoment @stonetoss Those "old laws" are the inerrant Word of God. And they obviously don't make the Jews happy, otherwise they wouldn't go around with sabbath-mode elevators and eruv wires. That was Jesus's whole point about the pharisees; in their hearts, they betray the law.
English
@veritechpilot @CapitolMoment @stonetoss You're placating nobody but yourself. The Lord will be interested in why you chose to follow old laws to keep the Jews happy. You're a pathetic representation of Christianity and are willing to bury his word with yourself, rather than follow the gospel and grace.
English
@SoundingRod67 @CapitolMoment @stonetoss The Jews were wrong, and any Jews who do not repent and turn to Christ for salvation will face judgement.
That has no bearing on the fact that the Israelites are God's people, and that we were grafted in while the faithless were pruned.
English
@veritechpilot @CapitolMoment @stonetoss There will be a special place for people like you who allowed God's word to be watered down into little more than "Be happy, Be kind and don't upset the Jews by telling them they're wrong"
English
@SoundingRod67 @CapitolMoment @stonetoss You are entirely illiterate. The first sentence was there just to placate you, and you still came to the conclusion you did. Continue in your ways at your own peril.
English
@veritechpilot @CapitolMoment @stonetoss That's a huge YIKES dawg. Enjoy being subservient to the people who kill Christ himself and demand you ignore his teachings to validate theirs.
English
@SoundingRod67 @CapitolMoment @stonetoss Modern Jews do not necessarily overlap with the Israelites in the Old Testament. If you hate the Old Testament, you hate God. We were grafted into the heritage of His people, the Israelites, through Jesus Christ, who adopted us.
English
@veritechpilot @CapitolMoment @stonetoss What's gods law and why did he send his only son to die to give us a new way to salvation. And what does any of it have to do with what Moses taught the Jews. Jesus didn't die to get stampede my neo-christians trying to not upset Jews.
English
@SoundingRod67 @CapitolMoment @stonetoss What Moses taught was of God. The Israelites were unable to follow it faithfully, being fallen humans corrupted by sin. God sent His Son to die for them and for us, that we could be absolved of our failure to observe His commandments.
English
@SoundingRod67 @CapitolMoment @stonetoss Here's a Presbyterian, since you don't want a Catholic; Christians are called to follow law. The law is God's perfect law, and it is to be written on our hearts. We will fail, but Christ will redeem us regardless.
English
@CapitolMoment @stonetoss Of course a Catholic can't understand that it's not law and isn't headed in any way. It exists but it's not the way to heaven. You also think praying to another man here on earth can absolve you.

@awesomekling I just used a 2006 laptop to order car parts the other day. Then on that same laptop I read the service manual, and then watched a video of someone demonstrating the repair.
1986 to 2006 was a big leap. 2006 to 2026, not so much. No reason to throw out what works.

Insisting that open source software must continue working on 15+ year old computers is actively holding back a community that's already spread thin.
It's okay for projects to say "we don't care about hardware more than N years old". You can just do this.
English
@BrodieOnLinux I have a 486 I like using for things, but I ended up switching it to BSD. Most Linux distros assume 586, unless you compile everything from source binary packages regularly barf.
English
I know some people are annoyed by this but is there a single person running the latest Linux kernel on a 486, not running a version of the kernel, but an up to date kernel
Tom's Hardware@tomshardware
Linux devs start removing support for 37-year-old Intel 486 CPU — head honcho Linus Torvalds says 'zero real reason' to continue support tomshardware.com/software/linux…

@SchulMozart They have a cult problem over there. It seems to be an East Asian thing, the Koreans & Chinese are the same way.
Which really doesn't help Christian evangelization, because from the outside it's not easy to spot the difference between grifting wackos & actual religious people.
English
I noticed several claiming that this perception comes from their interactions with Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesd but do they not understand that we in the west also hate those people. I think everyone in the world hates those two dogshit cults
ててれすたい@Tomo5da
海外の方の福音伝道を 押し付け というなら、 日本人クリスチャンは どんな福音伝道をしてるわけ？ 私はできてないゎ。 押し付けであれ、福音語る方が正義と思う。 主の前でどう弁明するの？ 日本人は押し付けられると拒絶するので福音語りませんでした っていうの？ それでよしとされるの🫠？

@MichaelSmicqfw @saveusculture There are laptops on the market that only have USB C. Manufacturers are certainly trying to get it to replace USB A.
English
We had a great USB form factor. Century-long standard tier design. It was called USB-A.
We needed a good miniature USB port, because USB-mini and USB-micro were terrible.
USB-C solved that problem.
AND THEN THEY REPLACED USB-A WITH IT LIKE ABSOLUTE RETARDS.
Dr. Dad, PhD 🔄🔼◀️🔽▶️@GarrettPetersen
So do USB-c ports just...degrade? Work less well over time? Need more wiggling and jiggling?
English
@saveusculture I can not believe you actually have retards replying to you saying USB C is more mechanically reliable than USB A.
English
@mrs_kratos @vryafrika @AGDugin I'm not sure anyone who has read Calvin's Institutes could say this. There's absolutely a great amount of awe at God's power, mystery, love, and forgiveness.
English
@vryafrika @AGDugin Calvin put Calvin and his own intellectualism at the center, and removed the awesome power and mystery of Gods love and forgiveness available to all because he couldn’t comprehend it.
English
The main source of the decisive decline of the West is the Calvinism. The Anglican and Lutheran Churches as well as mystical tendency from Bohme to Quakers and anabaptists were somehow in the realm of Christianity (more or less). The real horror starts with Calvin.
English
@GarrettPetersen Because it's reversible the center 'post' is extremely easy to damage, rendering the port unusable. The cheap ones really suck, I've tossed 2 Aliexpress phones recently because I killed the ports.
I just want USB A. We keep making these mini connectors and they all suck.

So do USB-c ports just...degrade? Work less well over time? Need more wiggling and jiggling?

@nk0x__ @BrainbowManic @jd_sauvage @zeke_22 They are south of the Mason-Dixon line. They are definitionally part of the South, even if their culture has degraded.

@C_A_P_117 @jasonc_nc The 'mom-and-pop' stores you're describing don't exist. The best you'll get is a farm-stand or gas station with produce, which the DG actually complements instead of replaces.
Sometimes it's nice not to drive an hour for AA batteries and cough drops.
English
@jasonc_nc Literally no one who lives near one says this, especially anyone who knows any mom and pop shops in town.
They are parasites. They employ 3 people to sell us mass produced junk for 25% more than any other store, and run out of business mom and pops that employ dozens of people.
English
Dollar General discourse is funny to me because anyone who actually lives near one is like “man I’m glad I don’t have to drive 25 minutes if I forget a couple basic things” whereas the person who doesn’t even live there is like “this is a pox upon rural Americans”.
DG 🇺🇸🌲@DGvv7x
Dollar Generals are a parasite on small town America

@realbethelquote @AiPinfu2003 You would probably think it tastes fine. The part you will find the strangest is the texture -- similar to refried beans.
English
@AiPinfu2003 I think the idea of beans being sweet seems odd to many Americans, perhaps like peanut butter being salty to Japanese

PB＆J（ピーナッツバター＆ジェリー）が好きなアメリカ人は日本の"小倉トースト"が好きなはず。
甘いあんこと塩っぽいバターが美味しい。
ぐたっくま@Fraw_DMC
アメリカ人は、日本のピーナッツバターが甘いことに衝撃を受け、 日本人は、アメリカのピーナッツバターが甘くなく塩味であることに衝撃を受けている。 長年の誤解が、今解消される瞬間が来ているのか！

@sofiartworks @_namori_fan_ @PedrinhHsa @AnxietatemPlena Based on what you shared here, you're either a woman in a same-sex relationship or (possibly also) a transvestite. I'm not Catholic, and won't speak authoritatively here, but I don't think the RC Church condones those things and I imagine it hopes you will go and sin no more.
English
@_namori_fan_ @PedrinhHsa @AnxietatemPlena What sin exactly. Did you hear my confessions when no one was looking?
English
My girlfriend had to educate me as to why only now, +50 years since Apollo 17, we are sending people to the moon again and honestly I'm getting a little emotional the more I think about this
NASA@NASA
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
English
@MentzerOcean @HMBohemond He gave us a command to steward his creation and spread across it. Exploring his creation is one of our explicitly created purposes.
English
@HMBohemond I wouldn’t say God is “against it”, so much as He sees it as unnecessary for us. After all, exploring space doesn’t spread the gospel. Nor does us “conquering the stars” glorify Him.
English
>claims to quote the Bible to justify why God is against space exploration
>it's the book of Enoch

@RigTyrsson @Erik_Haile @haprho I think film will stick around for artistic purposes, but stuff like tape is barely holding on. Magnetic coatings are very complicated and sometimes trade secrets.
And there are some new tape players, but there only seems to be one Chinese mechanism still produced, and it's crap.
English
In fact, camera film and cassettes are on the shelf at Walgreens. The other things on Amazon are brand new. I checked, thinking that it would be NOS. But it's still in production, just at low volume apparently due to shrinking demand. The only thing I didn't find new were CRT televisions. There are many of those used on E-Bay and Etsy though, so you're right on that one.
English
Aww, poor flerfs — flerfs say we lost the technology to go the moon.
We've also lost the technology to:
🔹️Build cathode-ray tube (CRT)
televisions and computer monitors.
🔹️VHS VCRs
🔹️Kodachrome slide film
🔹️Floppy disks
🔹️cassette tapes
🔹️high volumn vacuum tubes (also
called electron tubes or radio
tubes)
🔹️high volume incandescent light bulbs
