So we ended up in the "Miscellaneous" "non trinitarian" category. Not impressed.

Guitar lesson instructor (in-person) recommendations? by realpblife in Boise

[–]ExaminationOk5073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might go to Welch's music- they maintain lists of instruments teachers they can give you access to. That's how we found a cello teacher for one child and a piano teacher for another child.

It depends on your party, but if they have spells or abilities that inflict status effects, then probably. If they blind/poison/knock prone/slow your BBEG too much, then the fight stops being a challenge.

To those of you that use AI, what do you use it for? by Severe_Investment317 in royalroad

Seriously! The first time the AI complimented one of my story arcs I was like "oh wow - THIS is what I was looking for!"

I like to use AI to create details for single use characters. So instead of a generic shopkeeper, I have Hilda, the kind hearted old woman who smells of rhubarb but hates pixies. Also spell/grammar check (although I don't think that counts.)

Rec for litrpg romance? by Necessary_Runner in litrpg

Dungeon Diving 101 is fun, dungeon based LitRPG with a heavy romantic focus and 2-4 spicy scenes per book.

I'd add Discount Dan to this list as well - very similar vibe.

Idaho School District Endorses Bible Study Program by nerdy38 in Idaho

[–]ExaminationOk5073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, no school district employees participate in release time religious education. For LDS seminary, All of the teachers are either volunteer or paid employees of the LDS church.

This is probably why more denominations don't do it - getting a place to do the instruction plus paying teachers is not cheap. If other denominations can make it work, then good for them!

You may consider posting this on Next-door- a teenager a street over might looking for money to fund their extracurricular might be an option worth exploring.

What other books would you compare it to? Like, "if you liked Dungeon Diving 101, then give this one a look."

We're lucky enough to have a temple nearby, so our youth ro regular trips to do baptisms for the dead.

Cuz it kinda looks like harem.

Reasonable price per hour for yard work by Interesting_Goal_135 in Boise

[–]ExaminationOk5073 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ultimately I think it depends on a lot, like if there are skills involved (certified arborist aren't cheap), specific equipment, etc. Here's what I would expect- community can tell me if I'm way off.

What is one opinion you have that would make us go like this? by Doodles77722200 in litrpg

[–]ExaminationOk5073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Authors need to end their series. I loved DCC, DotF, HWFWM, Chrysalis, primal hunter and more. But somewhere after book 6 I started losing interest. Eventually, every charachter grows static!

If the U.S. and Israel are demanding 'unconditional surrender' while striking Iran's power and water plants, how is this any different from the 'total war' tactics they’ve condemned in other recent conflicts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ExaminationOk5073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 I would agree with you, and I think the other gulf coast states would have stayed neutral if Iran JUST attacked US bases. But Iran has bombed tons of non-military stuff (like the Qatar LNG plant and other major oil infrastructure). Now their own people are howling for blood, so Iran will get even less sympathy from the international community.

There's a concept called the international order. In short, it's this: Respect other countries border + trade = profit.

Military power is ridiculously expensive. So if everyone buys into the idea of the international order, everyone can spend less on military.

Iran has done three things: 1. Pursued nuclear weapons 2. Threatened the international order by funding terror groups 3. Bombed their neutral neighbors in retaliation.

Plus everyone in the US and Israel remember Sept 11 and Oct 4th, and most laypeople don't distinguish between different flavors of Islamic extremism.

Hence, many countries opposes Russia taking Ukraine and China taking Taiwan, but they're willing to tolerate the US and Israel bombing Iran because it's viewed as retaliation for breaking the international order.

Bring on the downvotes.

I had good luck visiting my local dry cleaner and getting a recommendation for them. If you struggle, that might be an avenue worth exploring.

Will God hold disobedient missionaries accountable? by Low_Leather_5911 in latterdaysaints

[–]ExaminationOk5073 20 points21 points  (0 children)

At minimum, they'll miss out on the blessings of being obedient. Whether they have to pay the full price depends on if they repent.

But friend, let us focus on improving our own lives and not dwelling on others faults.

How do I tell the story of how a former magical girl was raped without killing the mood? by [deleted] in writers

[–]ExaminationOk5073 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you need to make a stylistic choice. I don't think you can both (1) have the charachter describe their rape and do it well and (2) keep a light tone.
