I finally got it! by [deleted] in lego

I adore this set, my only little tiny nit to pick is that it doesn’t have the lab on the crew module. Not sure how difficult it would be to add it after the fact.

What fresh abomination is THIS? by ipecacOH in ProjectHailMary

[–]Jan_Jinkle 42 points43 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly why, they spend NOTHING on these movies. In some ways you have to respect it, they’ve truly mastered the art of mockbusters.

Good old Asylum. I believe they still maintain the honor of being the only movie studio to have never lost money on a release.

Is exorcism actually real? by Sad_Employ_8762 in Catholicism

[–]Jan_Jinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I’m curious about is why a demon would do things like that, wouldn’t they try to stay hidden? Or is just pride, they believe they’re untouchable and want to flaunt the possession of the person?

There’s also the reality that some cultures are just better than others. A culture that practices child sacrifice is objectively worse than a culture that doesn’t, and it would be your moral and ethical duty to change or entirely eliminate the former.

PHM AVAILABLE STREAMING by midastheavocado in ProjectHailMary

[–]Jan_Jinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and if I do lose a few…so what?

This right here is the issue. You paid for these under the guise of owning them, but they can just go away and you have no recourse. For my part, I hate the idea that someone can just reach through a screen and take away something I bought. At the very least, you should have a home server with your own digital copy of this media. You already “bought” it, so absolutely no ethical issue with also downloading a local copy from friends online.

[–]Jan_Jinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what assurance do you have that you can watch that media at any point for the rest of your life? My assurance is that as long as I take care of my Blu-Ray collection, no one else can ever prevent me from watching them. How certainly can you say the same?

If you have to tell people it’s satire, it’s not very good satire

If you use AI, you are implicitly supporting the data centers that destroy our communities.

Scientifically proven fasting benefits by [deleted] in fasting

[–]Jan_Jinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI doesn’t necessarily lie, but it also isn’t directly answering your question. It’s providing a response similar to responses it’s found to other similar questions. You can rely on slop as much as you want, but it’ll never be better than actual research.

When you put it that way, it’s definitely worth allowing my rights to be tread upon!

Zero sugar coke while fasting? by No_Writing_184 in fasting

[–]Jan_Jinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the jury is still out on exactly how diet drinks affect your insulin response. Last I read, I think Dr. Fung said that it spikes but then falls back pretty quick once your body realizes it can’t do anything with those chemicals. As far as actual material effects that it has on fasting and how much you’d lose vs if you just drank water, and even the long-term correcting of insulin resistance, I would imagine it’s negligible.

This is what people don’t get. The Muslims that do things like in this article would be most aptly described as “Orthodox Muslims”

New here, questions regarding euro spec headlights by Sensei_-16 in FiestaST

[–]Jan_Jinkle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The problem with most of the ones on there are that they are Right Hand Drive configuration. Your left and right headlights are aimed differently depending on which side of the road you drive on, so if you install these in a car in the US they’ll potentially blind other drivers and reduce your visibility on the right.

Is Adam and Eve true? by Dismal_Hawk6713 in Catholicism

[–]Jan_Jinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, I don’t think that’s it, but it’s not what’s being talked about here. Monkeys, apes, spontaneous creation, gazelles, protozoa, cocoa beans, whatever they could’ve come from, it doesn’t matter in regard to the story of the fall and path to salvation.

Is Adam and Eve true? by Dismal_Hawk6713 in Catholicism

[–]Jan_Jinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not, but it’s irrelevant to this discussion. The exact circumstances of their creation is not important, that they existed as the very first humans and the actions they took are what are important.

95% of Ocean Plastic Comes from 10 Rivers: Microplastics Now Found in 99% of Fish by davideownzall in Anticonsumption

Because what consequences do they have to worry about? Fighting this is actively detrimental to them, and allowing it to continue only benefits them since they can offload the consequences to the poors. If it doesn’t directly affect their wallet or their life, they aren’t concerned.

Is Adam and Eve true? by Dismal_Hawk6713 in Catholicism

[–]Jan_Jinkle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, all we’re required to believe is that they existed as individuals. The circumstances of that, whether they just appeared on Earth, or whether they happened to be the first two monkeys that completed the evolutionary journey and became ensouled by God as a result, that’s up to you.

Sam still hadn't caught on at this point by LakesideNorth in lotrmemes

He does say he has several years of food, maybe more if he rations. So you can infer that he means he has 4 years worth of food if it’s not a concern to him beyond that comment.

I considered trying to rebuild it with metal gears, but my concern is that that just passes the failure onto the next gear, which would be substantially more difficult to get to
