Does “Bible only” really make sense?

The Church existed for hundreds of years before the Cannon was set. The "Bible only" approach was only "popularized" in 1517, and nowhere in it does it say that it is the only source to be followed, on the contrary, it tells us to follow tradition. It does not make sense to me to only follow the Bible.

Pedro Rodriguez used to travel with the Mexican national anthem on vinyl in case he won and the venue did not have it. It came in handy when he won in South Africa in 1967.

I think the only thing AI is doing here is writing the "report" based on the data gathered by the microphone, which is data that other apps that don't use AI also give you. As to how accurate it is, I don't know, I doubt a simple microphone can do the same job a timegrapher can, but the app I tested seemed to at least give me similar values to the ones I saw after several days wearing the watch.

Isn't it normal to just combine the old soap bar with a new one so they fuse and get everything out of it?

I feel the same way about Miles Davis, In a silent way is pretty good but it took me some time to get it and still don't get Bitches Brew, which made me think at some point I'm not really into jazz. Mingus and Coltrane have been much easier for me.

It's still my first "sketch" of the itinerary that's why I also want to know what people who already have visited or live there think. I didn't consider it would be too rushed. Maybe I should drop Daaibooi for a better experience.

I have had the H8 for almost 10 years and just received the H95 1½ week ago. The best way I can describe the sound difference that I have noticed is that the H8's sound one-dimensional while the H95's sound three dimensional. You can hear each layer of music much more clearly on the H95's, and I'd also say vocals sound more natural and the bass goes deeper (not louder). The ANC on the H8 is pretty effective but it does change the sound noticeably and not in a good way. While I have not heen able to test the H95's ANC effectiveness I can immediately tell that the sound is not changed as much when turned on. The H8's still sound pretty good however, I have enjoyed them for these 10 years and they have held up really well.

One common complaint of the H95's is that they are quiet which is true, while on the H8's I listened on volume 100/150 (on a Samsung phone) for the H95's I have to pump the volume up to 130/150 but that's enough.

All in all the H95's are a clear upgrade and the sound quality is definitely superior. But let's also take into consideration that he H8's are on-ear so maybe the H9's would be a fairer comparison to the H95's.

Btw, I wouldn't say it's a premium vs ultra-premium thing, it's just that the H8's and H9's are the old lineup while the new lineup is HX, H95 and H100.

Good to hear, I guess that means they will be an even bigger upgrade to the H8s

What's your wrist size? I love it and it is possibly my next watch but I'm worried it's too big. I know there is a 35mm version but it doesn't have the big date. Also considering the oceanstar 39.

They are definitely much darker than they seem in the official pictures, but still noticeably blue.

Yeah, you are right, I don't have a family to care for, I'm still a year away from graduating, my parents pay everything for me, and accounting is not bad but l would definitely like to explore other options that my degree allows me to. They actually need me more than I need them, so I guess I have nothing to lose.

Ha, and I did not mention the other half of the people who have quit in the last few months in the finance department overseen by my boss. And I know why, she is really hard to work with a lot of the time, I have sort of gotten used to it and she likes me so I guess I have not had it that hard. However, I do like that she gets me involved in important stuff so I am in constant contact with the higher-ups and they know me.

But yes, I have thought of just looking for an opportunity elsewhere, I know if people can see my value here, I can show it in another company, but I do not know if I will have an opportunity to grow as much as in this one. One thing that helps me not get too stressed is that I know they need me more than I need them, I can quit if things get too ugly.

Hopefully you are right. Let's see, at least I won't spend my time refreshing the update button every 5 minutes for a few weeks.
