Because I'm tired of writing this out I am sharing as a pic. Please share.

@end3of6days9 I'm a pre-washer.

Okay, real talk… are you a pre-rinser or do you just scrape and toss everything straight into the dishwasher? Apparently, I’ve been doing it wrong. Modern dishwashers (typically models after the early 2000s) have a turbidity sensor that checks how dirty the water is, and it uses that information to decide how long to run the cycle. If you rinse everything too well, the sensor thinks the load is pretty clean and may run a shorter cycle — which means the really baked-on stuff might not come off. I’ve always been a pre-rinse girl, but I’m actually willing to test out the “just scrape, don’t rinse” method and see what happens. Have you tried it? Do your dishes come out cleaner when you skip the rinse?

ビーチクラフト モデル17 スタッガーウィング（Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing）。アメリカのビーチ・エアクラフト社が1932年に開発したクラシックな単発プロペラ機。 ・卓越したデザインと性能 大恐慌の最中に「富裕層のビジネスマンが時間を節約するための高級・高速な移動手段」として設計されました。当時の戦闘機よりも速い巡航速度を誇り、美しい流線型の機体は「世界で最も美しい飛行機」と称されファンが多い機体です。 ・独自の構造 逆スタッガー翼：下翼を前方に、上翼を後方に配置することでパイロットの視界を大幅に向上させ、失速時の操縦性を高める効果がありました。 豪華なキャビン：当時としては珍しい引き込み脚を採用し、革張りや木製パネルなど贅沢な内装が施されていました。 1930年代のエアレースで数々の速度記録を樹立したほか、第二次世界大戦中はアメリカ軍やイギリス軍などに徴用され、連絡機や要人輸送機（UC-43など）として活躍し1949年の生産終了までに約785機が製造されました。

This is a FACT. Live with it.

@leolonsuma @funkeractual They can be waterproof. But an iPhone splash and a military drone splash are the same because of physics.

@Doublemindedman @funkeractual Nah you are dumb if you think an iPhone up to a few meters can be waterproof but a military drone couldn’t possibly be waterproof.

Drones hiding underwater now.

Ok, that's cool.

LDS and the Genesis 50 problem: Joseph claimed that many plain and precious truths had been removed from the Bible. In the JST, Joseph famously adds several verses to Genesis 50. We must ask: "When were these verses removed?" Jesus expressly endorses the Torah in Matt. 5:18, stating that not one jot nor tittle - in other words, not even a tiny mark in a letter, like the dot over an i or the tilde over an enya - shall be removed until it is all fulfilled. Thus we can reasonably say that Genesis 50 was intact in Jesus' day. We now have the Essene library at Qumran (and points south), which are cumulatively referred to in popular reference as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Among these are fragments of Genesis, corporately the whole of Genesis, but without the Genesis 50 passage that Joseph added. These mss. date from before Christ, generally 300-100 years BC. We are faced with a dilemma: 1. Either Jesus is wrong, or lied, and these vv. were gone already, OR 2. Joseph erred or lied in "restoring" these vv. This passage cannot be broken in 100 BC, but OK in 30 AD. So the question becomes: Who lied? Jesus, or Joseph?

@WallStreetApes Hear me out. The higher the toll, the more reason to pay it. An $18 toll means traffic isn't moving and that sign tells me just how bad it is.

This is a toll road in Dallas, Texas The tolls are run on dynamic pricing. The tolls adjust every 5 minutes based on real-time traffic and congestion data Private equity firms got $490 million from taxpayers to build these toll lanes and the whole project cost about $2.6 billion If taxpayers are going to have to pay to drive on toll roads they should not be charged a single cent for their construction

@TBlahb Thanks for the bump! Go ahead and explain why in just a matter of a few verses God said two different things.

This seems to be a perfect parody of the pretrib “secret messages in the Bible” method of interpretation. Shockingly, it’s not a parody,

The Bible speaks in 'kinds' which is much broader than 'species'. Generally speaking a kind is a group of animals that can interbreed. From that kind came all of the animals that we see today and those that we find in the fossil record. Some have died out completely or if not are in remote unexplored place like the Congo. As for fitting on the Ark, there aren't even that many species once one excludes those that don't need to be on the Ark. Of the "estimated" 8.7 million species only about 39,000 are vertebrates that would need rescue. The rest are insects, plants, and aquatic Birds: 11,000 Reptiles: 12,000 Amphibians: 8,000–9,000 Mammals: 6,500–7,000 And the average size for an animal is quite small. A cat is actually larger than the average size for all these creatures.

I’m confused because I thought that atheists believe in evolution and common ancestry. Could there not have been certain species that were on the Ark and then after they were released, different species were spawned as time marched on? That’s not what I believe, but I do posit the question because again, we don’t have definitive proof and must rely on faith.

In 1968, researchers ran the largest randomised trial ever done on saturated fat. Over 9,000 people in Minnesota state hospitals were split between animal fat and corn oil for years. The corn oil group’s cholesterol dropped hard. The full results never got published. The raw data sat on magnetic tapes in a basement for over forty years. A researcher named Christopher Ramsden tracked those tapes down in 2013 and ran the numbers the original team never released. For every 30 point drop in cholesterol, death risk rose 22 percent. The lower the cholesterol fell, the faster people died. In the over 65s, each drop of roughly half a point on the cholesterol scale carried a 35 percent higher death risk within two years. The trial is real. It was double blind. It was the gold standard design. And it found the exact opposite of what dietary guidelines were about to be built on. It sat unpublished for over forty years while the low fat, high vegetable oil advice became national policy. This was not a small study lost in the noise. It was the largest of its kind. And the finding that mattered most never reached a single doctor’s desk for four decades.

@AMK_Mapping_ I would think they would prioritize the patriot system itself.

Due to Kyiv being likely completely out of Patriot PAC-2/3 interceptor missiles, there is a high threat of Russia launching another Iskander-M ballistic missile attack on Kyiv in the coming days before new interceptors arrive, in order to guarantee a 100% impact rate on the targets they wish to hit.

In Numbers 14 we see that the adult Hebrews are not going to be able to go into the Promised Land except Joshua and Caleb. But is that what's actually said here? Not quite. And what is overlooked here is what I believe to be one of the most interesting hints at a rapture. What is actually said is that Caleb will go into the Promised Land, "because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully". And then 2 verses later, God speaks to Moses and Aaron again and in this He says to tell the people that only Joshua and Caleb will enter the Promised Land. So who was Caleb? He was actually a Gentile, a Kenizzite, and of the tribe of Judah which means he was adopted into the tribe of Judah just as believers are. That Caleb received a promise to enter the Promised Land first and separately from Joshua is, I believe, a hint at a rapture.

It is fine to dogmatically state a belief that you have been convinced of through Scripture. You can still be open to discussion and changing your mind. What is dangerous is the unteachable attitude: “Just don't tell me why it should not work for me, because it does, and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise.” where you are not really open to genuine discussion and no one can show you that you’re wrong, even from Scripture.

@LowStudies Orthodox will say it was them, Catholics will say it was them. But in reality it was multiple churches until Rome started bringing them all under itself several centuries after Christ.

@Doublemindedman You do know there was only One Church before 1054 AD, right?

I have never heard a Protestant able to answer this.

@LowStudies Go ahead and argue that out with a Catholic. They will no doubt disagree with you.

@Doublemindedman Were then, always have been. Orthodox.

@LowStudies "are now"

@Doublemindedman I have no clue what you are saying. I'm not a Roman Catholic. Those other churches are now Orthodox Churches.

@ActualEJMJensen The Lumen Gentium (Dogmatic Constitution of the Church) states that the Catholics and the Muslims adore the same god. And just to be sure it's not missed, they added it to the catechism.

Thinking about the American pope of Roman Catholicism telling us to embrace islam and believe sincere muslims go to heaven is a conundrum that I think about most days. I've realized that Islam and Roman Catholicism are correlated in dark ways, for they both claim supremacy over dissenters AND historically murder their enemies, though only Islamic countries still tolerate such an evil. But the Romanist crusades were anti Christian, Rome murdering our Reformers was anti Christian, the torturers of the Inquisition were anti Christian. Both Islam and Romanism are anti Christian.

@LowStudies So you're admitting that there were other churches

@Doublemindedman Paul wrote a whole Epistle to the Romans. Rome is not in Asia Minor. Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia:

@LowStudies Funny, because Jesus writes a letter to 7 different churches, and none of them are Roman.

@Doublemindedman "the Catholic Church simply affirmed what all the various churches were already using for scripture" What church were the various churches a part of? Before 1054 there was only one Church.

The average voter turnout in a presidential election between 2000 to 2016 was around 53% to 54%. The mainstream media alleged the 2020 voter turnout was about 60%... When in reality, the 2020 voter turnout was actually around 95%, which is a catastrophic indicator of a FRAUDULENT ELECTION. The reason the mainstream media is wrong is because they took the number of votes divided by the over 18 population, which does NOT equal voter turnout. Voter turnout is the number of votes divided by the number of registered voters. This is because "population over 18" includes people who are eligible to vote, but are not registered, it includes non-citizens who legally can't vote, it includes felons who can't vote, it includes mentally incapacitated people who can't vote, etc. So, the over 18 population is greater than the number of registered voters. If you take the number of votes reported in 2020 and divide by the over 18 population, 60% is higher than 53% to 54% average, but plausible. If you take the reported number of votes divided by the actual number of registered voters, you get around a reported 95%, which clearly shows that 2020 was a fraudulent election.
