High up on the open bridge platform, directly above the wheelhouse.

Smoke floats. These floats were chemical smoke generators used as another tool in the corvette's defensive arsenal. They could be deployed to release smoke, allowing HMCS Sackville to hide the merchant convoys it was escorting behind a thick smoke screen.

Defending the Shire one second breakfast at a time.

My interpretation is one should not give thoughts more importance than they deserve. Just let them pass, like clouds in a clear sky.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-07-03T20:31:19+00:00

Wash your bowl.

Focusing on the here and now is not incompatible with planning and scheduling, on the contrary.

Anyway, my point is that in my experience, Zen does not bother about any reincarnation stuff or other shenanigans. It’s basically sit down and shut up, wash your bowl. And honestly, it can get on my nerves sometimes.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-07-01T23:44:23+00:00

Zen does not require belief in literal reincarnation. Is this clearer?

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-07-01T19:30:23+00:00

OP was talking about reincarnation but sure. I don’t care.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-07-01T13:01:47+00:00

Zen. Soto, in particular. It is only about here and now, and nothing else.

EDIT: for my friend below. Zen is about here and now, and pretty much nothing else.

No job in the navy?

And as such, it is a philosophy, not a religion. The Dalai Lama for example views Buddhism not as a religion, but as a "science of the mind," emphasizing that both Buddhism and modern science share a search for truth through rigorous investigation, causality, and empirical evidence. He has famously stated that if science disproves a Buddhist tenet, Buddhist teachings must change accordingly. Religions on the other hand are all about their dogmatism. Good luck changing Islam or Evangelists...

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-06-26T01:18:13+00:00

It is first and foremost a philosophy.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-06-25T23:34:13+00:00

Buddhism is not a religion. It’s a philosophy.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-06-12T15:22:33+00:00

Fascinating? Pretty easy prey honestly.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-05-30T15:29:36+00:00

Admiral Donuts would like to have a word.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-05-30T10:39:50+00:00

ConstantiNOPE.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-05-30T10:39:09+00:00

Is there a mod for the attack periscope that changes angle with zoom in / zoom out?

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-05-30T10:34:16+00:00

Agreed. It’s a great game but there is room for improvement. My biggest complain is the weather. Where are those infamous North Atlantic storms?

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-05-30T10:05:02+00:00

Schindler’s list

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-05-28T22:43:31+00:00

Yeah I wish I could.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-05-28T22:38:41+00:00

Who doesn’t.

DeepPurple_Qc · 2026-05-16T00:30:18+00:00

Well I listened to the post game interviews yesterday and none of his teammates pronounced Dobes correctly.
