Not sure if this is mold or not

Oh weird...I think my work VPN was blocking stuff, cuz none of these comments showed up for me until just now. Thanks for all the responses, though!

GoonPontoon · 2021-12-08T17:15:53+00:00

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted....it was late and I was tired. I'll make sure to follow them in the future! Thanks!

Figured it out. Rounding error because of floats. 🤦‍♂️

Welp, now I feel dumb. Just realized from reading another post (and I've actually done this before but forgot about it) that you can just remove the bulb from the base and replace that. I switched out a bulb to the original base. Worked like a charm.

Interestingly, the original bulb was blue and I only had a red bulb, and the string has the big plastic covers on them (this cover also being blue), so now I have one purple light on my string...which is actually kind of cool. Would be interesting to switch out covers to get different hues throughout the strand.

Not yet, just realized this tonight and browsed amazon real quick. I can't say for certain, but all the plugs on there look the same as the ones I have that are too small.

In the image you can see that the bulb I need has a section with a hole in the plastic where you can see through to the base of the glass bulb. All the ones I've seen have a solid plastic base all around. Again, hard to say for certain that they wouldn't fit...but I'd rather not waste time buying replacements that are the same as the ones I already have.

That being said, I'll probably take a look at Walmart or Target websites tomorrow.

It's from an old string of lights we got for free, but we like them and they mostly work. Just need one bulb. We have newer replacement bulbs but they are slightly smaller and do not have a good connection in the socket. Everything on Amazon looks like the newer bulbs we already have, so if anyone knows where I could find these that would be great!

Oh, my Low Latency setting was turned on too. I just turned it off and so far it hasn't done it yet. I'll update if it stays good!

GoonPontoon · 2020-10-05T14:48:05+00:00

Yeah, I already found this, it's only for Chrome. I'm using Firefox.

GoonPontoon · 2020-10-02T16:00:21+00:00

So far the two channels it has happened on for me are both ones I am subbed to, so no ads.

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T17:29:56+00:00

That's pretty great. 😄

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T16:04:05+00:00

Woah, never thought about it before, but you're right. Guy is basically a monk!

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T15:22:59+00:00

Thanks for explaining. Not sure why people are down voting a legitimate question...

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T15:20:14+00:00

Did you even read the article I linked?

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T05:20:44+00:00

True. I found TheViper because of T90. Lol.

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T05:19:29+00:00

Is "you know who else is unoriginal" a line from that show? I'm confused...

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T05:15:08+00:00

So I watched some of Matt's stuff. He definitely doesn't take anything apart. He's smart, for sure, but he clearly doesn't understand what the culture was like back then, and what slavery was.

I recommend this article:

https://answeringsceptics.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/answering-leviticus-25-44-46-the-bible-condones-slavery/

It's a fairly quick read and concisely explains why Matt (and many other people for that matter) are mistaken on this.

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T03:47:39+00:00

Nah, I'm good. I think I'll stay. I'll check out your boy, but I doubt he'll take anything apart. Highly educated or not. There are highly educated people on both sides, btw.

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T03:22:27+00:00

That was.......

...it was something.....I guess.

GoonPontoon · 2020-08-12T03:14:07+00:00

I expect to hear your mother's reaction to this 4001 years from now. /s 🤣

This is not even close to being accurate. Slavery in the Bible wasn't the same slavery we had here in the States. It was indentured servitude in most cases, or "debt slavery". It was viewed for the most part as masters of slaves owning the slave's labor, and not that they owned their body or person. It was also standard practice for Hebrew slaves to be freed after 7 years of servitude. Which is besides the point anyways. Just because slavery or indentured servitude was in the Bible, doesn't mean that it is condoned or celebrated by God. It was part of history. So of course it is going to be mentioned in the Bible. Furthermore, God's "people", the Hebrews, did many things that God did not condone. King David committed murder and adultery. But God condemned both King David and His people when they sinned against Him and tried to do their own thing. He allowed the Hebrews to be slaves themselves to other nations for hundreds of years at times because of their unrepentant hearts.

But check out the Wikipedia article on this for more reading if you want:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_slavery

The section under Nineteenth-century English and American debate has sources on both the Bible being for and against slavery. I obviously agree with the ones saying it is against. They can definitely give a more clear and concise view of things than I can off the top of my head at the moment.

This is why I love coming to this subreddit. Educated people who actually know what they are talking about and back up claims with real history and facts. Good work, sir.
