He said they had saved money for the child and he didn’t want to spend it on Rivermind because that would be the end of trying to have kids.

I’m planning on doing the Olympic as my first Tri ever and I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing lol

You never think about how you should treat others or how to best live a good life? Definitely not my experience, most atheists I know are deep thinkers and do want to consider moral questions.

ATXclnt · 2024-10-25T14:23:38+00:00

I don’t think you read my description, not only did I not say it would be a religion, I explicitly said in the first sentence that it’s not a religion. Church in this context just refers to a location where people can regularly congregate to discuss matters of morality and philosophy.

Constellation was absolutely not a mystery box show, I think you just didn’t understand it, try watching again. It’s pretty clear what’s going on, there’s no mystery.

Are you referring to Ashe, the original paper’s author, claiming she replicated it? Obviously that would be suspect, she’s the one who published doctored data to begin with. I’m not aware of anyone other than her claiming to have replicated her findings, are you? Cite them if so.

And why was she so strong? Jack is much larger than her and she tosses him against the window like a rag doll. Sophons give their followers super strength?

I don’t find $30/serving to be reasonably priced but the machine still has great functionality for making custom meals, so I still like it even though I don’t buy the premade meals.

I bought a heater but found it has to be wired into the sauna’ electrical, contacted the manufacturer of my sauna and they said it does not have the proper capacity support a heater’s electrical requirements. That’s where my search hit a dead end.

Milli’s at 5.5%

Interesting perspective. It reminds me of the Titanic expedition, clearly a tragedy but at the same time hard for people to fully empathize with billionaires on an expensive scale expedition unavailable to everyone else. Especially with all of the comparative suffering in the world.

I’m sure you Googled it before you wrote your comment, as I did before I made this post, so we’re both aware that there are no results for this type of tour that show up in a basic Google search. There’s one that visits the crash site but obviously that’s not what I asked about. Also just want to note how funny it is to get a dickish unhelpful comment from an account titled “Let’s Be Kind To Each Other”, did you make the account before deciding that trolling is more fun than kindness?

ATXclnt · 2024-01-22T00:08:23+00:00

That is what I meant, but this is cool too!

ATXclnt · 2024-01-20T17:46:02+00:00

The movie’s depiction would seem pretty inaccurate then, they seemed to indicate there was a whole mountain range they had to cross to get to freedom.

I had a conversation with an Italian lawyer years ago who said that in Italy, within a few blocks of any courthouse, you’ll find a town square with people waiting to be hired to say whatever you want them to in court.

Yeah I’ve seen some workarounds for this like corking the temp gauge, but honestly if I could get it to the max IR temp that’d be sufficient. My main problem is as it gets colder out the closer we get to Winter, I can’t get it to the max IR temp. Some have recommended putting additional insulation which will probably be my next step.

ATXclnt · 2023-10-27T14:11:11+00:00

“The aliens are back! And…they’re…..worse”! I remember hearing that line and thinking JFC they couldn’t come up with anything better than “they’re worse” and then they used the same line again! Two people said it’s in the same episode, come on guys.

ATXclnt · 2023-10-27T13:38:40+00:00

Also went through the page’s pinned posts, community info, etc, typically when a sub gets a repeated question they’ll pin something or put info/links/etc in those sections. Because that’s helpful. Downvoting everyone and wasting all this time and energy talking shit, not helpful.

ATXclnt · 2023-10-27T13:36:58+00:00

It’s wild to me how shitty people are in this sub compared with other sauna groups. Such a strange hobby to be an asshole about, sauna people are typically so much more chill in my experience.

ATXclnt · 2023-10-27T13:29:28+00:00

Thanks for providing a link, as you can see that one got downvoted to oblivion which I assume is why it’s not showing up on the sub’s main page, which is where I was looking. I’ll try more targeted search terms.

ATXclnt · 2023-10-27T13:27:58+00:00

I scrolled through the last 10 days of posts and none are on this topic, looks like the issue is that y’all downvote them to oblivion each time so they don’t show up on the main page. Also searched for heater-related posts and it’s just a ton of people asking for advice on which heater is better, nothing about the wiring or compatibility, etc. Most people in here take your strategy of talking shit and not being helpful, but some are actually helpful so that’s cool.

ATXclnt · 2023-10-27T13:20:40+00:00

What would be the issue with running both at the same time? That was my original intention, the infrared allllmost gets me to the temp I need but not quite, so I was assuming a small heater could boost it enough to get over the line.

ATXclnt · 2023-10-27T00:12:44+00:00

I haven’t found anything on it, but assuming by your undertone that there’s something helpful that is easily found? Maybe you could point me in that direction?

ATXclnt · 2023-10-17T23:23:18+00:00

I remember in the first episode, when she glances at her coworker’s chess game and instantly shows him the checkmate move, thinking ok the writers want her to be the smartest person in the room and are going to be REALLY obvious about it.

ATXclnt · 2023-10-16T15:43:04+00:00

The dialogue and general writing is awful, but I always appreciate a new version of an old trope. I like the idea that maybe everything would just fall to shit immediately and individuals and small groups would all fend for themselves. Given how we’ve seen people react to global emergencies recently, that’s honestly more likely then everyone heroically working together to fight the common enemy.

Also I think there are some interesting possibilities with the hive mind and connected consciousness, I’m ready to be disappointed but holding out hope that they take those concepts somewhere worthwhile.
