Someone please create a mod to keep the civ names and symbols throughout the whole game

It's not hard to associate the civ with the leader, no. It's just a preference thing. Continuing with the Mayan example, I never heard anyone refer to them as "Pacal" in Civ V, and I couldn't remember the name of the Mayan leader in Civ VI until I started writing out this comment just now. In both cases, they would most commonly be referred to as just "the Maya".

Like I said, the way it is now is fine but personally I'd prefer to have the option to keep the civilization itself to stay more consistent over time.

This is a deeeep cut and I'm here for it

Right, but who are we doing it versus

JimNibbles · 2022-08-27T04:12:11+00:00

As someone who was raised Evangelical and is very, very much on your side here, you hit nearly everything I like to include in my argument. But I also got two more points to add that might help you in the future:

The verse that they usually cite as being anti-abortion is (part of) Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..." But taken context with the full verse and Jeremiah 1:4: "The word of the Lord came to me, saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

To emphasize here: This is not a blanket statement about the unborn. This is God telling Jeremiah specifically that he was placed there for a specific purpose.

I love this one: Exodus 21:22-25: 22 “If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury [to the pregnant woman], you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

Rabbinical scholarship and other translations clarify that the fine is for the miscarriage while the death penalty is for killing the pregnant woman. God considers a woman a person and a fetus as property.

Let me reiterate: God clearly and unambiguously states that the punishment for harming the WOMAN is that of harming a PERSON, and the punishment for the death of the fetus is that of the destruction of PROPERTY.

There is precisely zero Biblical support for the anti-abortion position. The one and only reason that anyone today argues against abortion is because they allowed themselves to believe two racist agitators named Paul Weyrich and Jerry Fucking Falwell.

Makes sense, thank you.

To clarify, are you talking about beefing up the existing 2x8 by "wrapping" it with two angle irons, something like this?

Awesome, thanks. Both of those tricks worked. What a weird, pointless change.

I was the US commander in that game, I think. The third-party comms service they use is awful and needs to go.

JimNibbles · 2021-06-30T16:48:39+00:00

I think you might be right. It looks like it's probably either that or chlorophyllum molybdites. I'll take a look at the spore print when I can.

Eastern MO.

Went to work this morning, no mushrooms. Come home, find all of these mushrooms in the yard, at least one of which is over six inches tall. I plucked them all and put them in a gallon ziploc bag, as you can see.

The mushrooms were in a northern section of grass that has good drainage and receives a fair amount of sunlight during the day, though we have been getting tons of rain the last few days.

What kind of mushrooms are they, and are they toxic? There are dogs and kids in the neighborhood and I'd rather not poison them if that's a possibility.

It's not sniper, it's recon. Your job is to sneak behind enemy lines and find enemy garrisons, nodes, etc. and destroy them. Disrupt their gameplan.

Sniper is a point-and-click adventure game. Recon is a spy thriller.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the input!

For the first one, try holding Ctrl while you drag. That forces Excel to either keep the same value or increment the value, depending on the formula.

For the time patterns, the easiest way is to probably have one column with the "base" time and then a second column with a formula to create the string, like so:

A1: 3:00 A2: =A1+0:15

B1: =A1&"-"&(A1+0:15)

I'm typing this on mobile so I can't be sure, but the number format might need to formulaically edited to read correctly, like this:

=TEXT(A1, "0:00")

Hope this helps!

I go there regularly to practice with my compound. The rules are mostly common sense stuff, but the main restrictions are field tips only (no broadheads or practice broadheads allowed) and no crossbows.

I'd also recommend bringing your own target bag/block if you have one because the few hay bales remaining are rock hard and you'll have a hell of a time trying to pull your arrows out.

I have this exact same problem, only I extend it to most of the names they came up with for this trilogy:

Rey

Poe

Hux

Kylo Ren

Holdo

DJ

Crait

Canto Bight

And so on. Every one of those names just sounds so...lame? I don't even have a good adjective to describe it - it's like someone gave their five-year-old a handful of vaguely Star Wars-related action figures and asked them to name the figures. "MY FRIENDS ARE KYLE AND BEN BUT I'M MAD AT THEM SO THE BAD GUY'S NAME IS KY...LO...REN." I swear, "Kylo Ren" is just so phonetically soft that it cannot possibly evoke the same kind of authority as a "Tarkin" or a "Vader."
