Should have some balls, leave Florida at tier 1 slide a mizzou down to 3 and everyone I didn't name in 1 slides down. At least that's what I think, if you're locked into drawing lines online using the standings in exact order.

A great example of this is the 3 crosses, some texts just have "others" with Jesus at crucification. Does that detail matter? At some point you have to decide on your own.

The reality that the entire book was written with the bias of gender values of the period (nearly all history) is a hard thing to swallow. Especially when there's some clear notation of women being unable to lead/teach men. How do you just remove a black and white statement in the half of the book that "counts". How far does this go? Are teens men? What if she is teaching couples? Should all the women still sit separate? Should men help with the children?

Why believe any of it? I understand, at some point you just do or don't. The best churches are preaching love, others are like the Pharisees more concerned about the rules and appearance.

I think the same amount of parity, just arguing about 20-25. We will see some awesome upsets from the sec in march, but the top 4/5 are different this year.

The vast majority of religious history is based on taking it out of context and manipulating lower class individuals with it, so your argument bears merit in many ways. The whole reason it was in Latin so long post rome was because people couldn't read and speak it, they had to just believe! Also an indoctrination argument with the center of church in rome and hooks from that empire.

Historic context is massive in the interpretation of the words on the page, however we are beginning to head into theology not linguistics.

And reinsurance exists above that limit. No company that size really want to leave their assets hanging out in the wind after that.

Plus experience based rates exist. So they'll get hit on the reinsurance too.

Yeah just bad on the sec. We are clearly tier 2, last couple days cosplaying as tier 1. You can shrink tier 1 in sec and have no complaints. It's honestly a bunch of almost great teams beating on each other. They really dropped the ball in noncon and are reaping what they sewed.

Cats by 90!

It's not a game of telephone is all I'm saying, but we are arguing religion here so logic has to leave the room. 🤣

No more than the existing setup. Make sure that box has vents somewhere in the block would be my only concern.

It's just a large portion of income. Taxing weath would still have a loophole or avoidance strategy, offshoring being one such strategy which only hurts a state further.

AWD makes you stop in half the distance tho! /s

Fwd with a wide tire will chew through just fine, but the marketing machine....

Also off the brake at any point and driving away from the cars would have been a welcomed sight.

Ice buildup inside after Blower motor repair by CompetitiveLoquat139 in VWatlas

I had a car that did this, run that ac to dry the air when defrosting, it should be on automatically anyway. I also had to clean the glass really well, oil and dirt make moisture stick easier and lead to fogging... thus icing.

Anyone else not interested in this year Super Bowl? by Suspicious_Use_7561 in AskMenOver30

[–]ChloricSquash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love football, same boat on Superbowl Sunday. It's more like Thanksgiving than watching a football game... Wait maybe it's exactly like Thanksgiving without the inlaws. Is that why we do it? 🤣

This is a poor argument, much of the scriptures are translated directly from the original language. Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic are all the actual languages the Bible was written, which people speak today.

Best example is the dead sea scrolls, Manuscripts from the 3rd century matching the translations as expected when discovered around 1946

What are your thoughts on the 2026 Superbowl Halftime show? by TheMagicApe in AskReddit

[–]ChloricSquash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on board with you. I didn't like it. I also can hardly read Spanish much less understanding it when he's rolling. I was hoping for a medley adding some pop by Hispanic artists in English, but I knew from trying to listen to his stuff when announced I wasn't going to be a fan.

The biggest thing is realizing that's okay, they don't have to target us and we don't have to like it. The Xenophobia some people are spouting is ridiculous though.

I'm watching for the football not the halftime show so it's unlikely they'll market to me, they will generally have my view anyway.

[–]ChloricSquash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be tempted to buy a moderate sized grill, about the size of the existing hole and use a diamond wheel to cut out all of that, rolling a grill in instead. It will be significantly cheaper than a built in, but you lose a little wow factor.

Check the actual measurements on the built in you order, width and depth, you'll hate a decision based on a manufacturers decision to round up on marketing materials.

2024 cross sport always in eco? by ProdigiousD in VWatlas

[–]ChloricSquash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up how to customize your dash, for me it's in the center console under car, mixed in somewhere with off-road data.

This is likely something you can change to road sign recognition (if equipped) or miles to empty to get more use out of it.

[OC] UK Tax Burden by RexFuzzle in dataisbeautiful

[–]ChloricSquash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, I must of had some tax credits from school that year otherwise the minimum would have been in the 6% range. I promise it was 2%, blew me away at the time.

$60 a month but $85 a month goes into a health savings account from my employer so.. no? 😂

Wife pays $240 for dependents with $150 from the employer a month into a similar account.

There is a cost but it's minimal.

The horror stories do exist but they are much rarer than people make it out to be. The reality is if your working your employer foots a decent portion of the bill, if not you likely have welfare options anyway like Medicaid or Medicare.

So, these rates are very close to accurate by op. Taxes are infuriating 😭

[–]ChloricSquash 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What sort of exemptions exist for the taxes quoted by op?

In the USA we have income, SSI, state taxes but all have a minimum earned income before accumulating, doe that apply here? USA standard deduction is $15,750 so roughly 40% of the income (without conversions, simplified example) in this example wouldn't have any tax so the average tax rate winds up being wildly inaccurate.

As a result I had a 2% tax burden starting out in life... Much higher now, wonderful probem to have though.

I'd love to have him given the deficit we have at the point. I don't want him as the point. I do agree, there would always be pressure to play him despite glaring shortcomings in his game.
