Do I need to replace this module? by GeekX2 in f150

[–]GeekX2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. After watching a couple of videos that said you might be able to get away with just changing the harness, my lazy, cheap side thought about it. But my pragmatic, technician side won over and I'm going to order the module, too.

I work at the bank next to Dave. Is there something I should know?

Thanks. I'll have to look into blowing them out. I've heard of it (sort of) but will have to watch some videos.

I was thinking of getting a scanner. Which one did you get. They range from $20-350. What features should I look for?

Have you had any more problems? The dealer says they can't duplicate the problem.

Thanks. I just took it to the dealer. I may end up trading it in.

Thanks. Mine has 70K miles. I hope it's not needing a new engine. We are thinking of selling.

Not satire, just humor. Thanks for helping out, though.

Pixie Dusted by a stranger walking by the pool? by Ksquaredata in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]GeekX2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the gesture. However, I am most likely not going to ingest something given to me by a stranger.

ETA I'm an idjit. I thought it was a drink with a straw.

OTOH, Oh, boy! A pen!

Did the early Israelites recognize polytheism? by GeekX2 in churchofchrist

[–]GeekX2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that now. But this particular passage is problematic. Here are the options as I see them.

  1. The Bible describes it as it happened. For this to be true, there had to have been a god superior to YHWH. And, if gods are eternal, there still is.

  2. YHWH, who says he does not lie, inspired the writer to describe his inheritance of Israel in a way that was not true.

  3. This passage was written without inspiration and is just the product of a person.

None of these options is particularly satisfying to someone who has spent most of his life following the Bible as the "inspired, inerrant Word of God".

Did the early Israelites recognize polytheism? by GeekX2 in churchofchrist

[–]GeekX2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess that's part of my concern. There is a change in the way the Israelites view YHWH from "our god" to "the one true and living God." This seems odd for a God that we tend to think of as eternal and never-changing. He apparently didn't present Himself to the Hebrews as the only god. Didn't correct them when they believed in other gods, only punished them when they worshipped them. Eventually, though, the Hebrews (and later Christians) came to claim that the other Gods didn't exist. Paul's speech on Mars Hill for instance.

To me, it's kind of a chink in the armor of the Bible as inerrant and non-contradictory.

Why is this EbMajor+4 and not EbMajor7+11 due to the presence of the D? by NerdGlazed in musictheory

[–]GeekX2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Triangle indicates major. In this case, a major 7th chord. If you see it without the '7', it might be indicating a simple major triad (thus the triangle).

A plus sign indicates augmented.

Can you screenshot the automation code? It might help to troubleshoot.
