“Two men reaching middle age with not much to show but disappointment embark on a week-long road trip through California’s wine country, just as one is about to take a trip down the aisle.”

A lot of 70s cars were pretty damn ugly too

I wouldn’t have gone to the moon if I were them. You know they’ll have to meet the president after they get back. It’s not worth it.

“The 10 plagues are proven, that there was a “tower of bable”, Sodom and Gomorra, the city, from what i know are also proven to have existed.”

None of those are proven. Egyptians kept good records and there are no records of Hebrew slaves in Egypt, and no records of the plagues or their escape. Furthermore, the Bible says the hebrews had 600,000 men in their army, which means easily 2-3 million people in all. This is roughly the same as the population of Egypt at the time.

I’ve never heard anyone claim there’s any evidence for the Tower of Babel so I can’t comment on that, but people claiming Sodom and Gammorah existed point to naturally occurring Sulfer deposits as proof.

“But i’d gladly would like to hear, why you think Iesus of nazared is supposed to be fiction?”

Mythicism, the idea that Jesus wasn’t a real person, is not new but has risen in popularity on recent years because of historian Richard Carrier. There actually isn’t much real evidence that Jesus existed but there is a little. Carrier basically ignores or misinterprets this evidence and isn’t well regarded in scholarly circles. His most recent work failed peer review, which he attributes to a conspiracy against him.

“The apostals all existed and their letters are one prove for that.”

We don’t have a single thing that we know were written by the apostiles. They were most likely illiterate anyway. The Bible books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written anonymously. Hundreds of years later, the church put names on them.

I think the grey edge looks better than 100% white. Things like this are the reason I have AMS, all my prints are functional and could be done in one color, they just look better when they’re not. And if it’s for screws and hardware, they’re going to be down in the white where they’ll contrast, not hiding up on the edge.

Now you’ve done it. Here come the EDC people

I don’t get how anybody can be into enormous children

Slackware. In 27-ish years of using it, it’s never once crashed or failed to install

I’d like to see some citations on that. They’re are several scholarly theories about the what the tree represents, but I’ve never heard this one.

Look at apps. There used to be some free apps that showed the knots with nice animations of how it is tied.

Practice with a larger rope that feels good in your hand, not fishing line. Some soft double braided nylon ropes just don’t hold knots very well and will come loose easily. That not good for actually using the rope but it’s kind of good for practicing knots. You don’t want to spend more time untying than tying. But if you really want to be a knot guy, this is a good excuse to buy a marlinespike.

Another fun thing to learn is splicing. If interested, Samson Ropes (great rope manufacturer but probably overkill for use around the house) has good fids (splicing tools) online guides and they have a splicing guide book you can buy too.

"I’ll weigh in a little bit here, I guess. At this point, I’d rather not implement something like this and don’t see the point of the legislation as written (other than, more than likely, get a foot in the door.) But my code is my speech. I doubt these laws would survive a challenge, as it’s pretty clearly government compelled speech.

Any lawyers looking for a test case? :-)"

I can’t find anything concrete from Fedora but the Fedora leader was thinking of ways to comply in some manner a month ago and had more ideas recently

I like a little spice but don’t get the people who are like “I’m ordering the flaming asshole wings. Boy, my asshole is going to be on fire tomorrow.”

You know what I like? Not having a flaming asshole. We live in a world where food has a neverending variety of flavors. Get one of the many delicious flavors that don’t involve scorching your asshole.

It’s not about quality.

Don’t be offended, I realize I’m the weirdo here, but they seem so pointless to be so time consuming. Entertainment in general is pointless, but I don’t spend hundreds of hours watching a movie.

I’m not into TV either though, so maybe it’s sitting still that I don’t like.

Is it something we need to do? I’ve never felt like it’s a big deal. I like the sunrise/sunset times in the summer and it would effect my life if that changed. I don’t like them in the winter but there’s no great alternative.

Video games. They were fun as a kid on a rainy day but they’re completely lost on me now
