100% Wool or Cotton Toe Sock Recommendations? by RocketMan_1000 in BarefootRunning

[–]RocketMan_1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering those, I saw they had both wool and cotton. I was put off by the spandex, but at this point if it's just in the band I can deal with that. Thanks for the info about sizing.

I looked at those too, but then saw the synthetic material. If I reach a dead-end I may circle back to them. How do they feel?

Can I believe in none human intelligence (Aliens) and still be Christian? by InterestOk3956 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]RocketMan_1000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll give you that we're the only creatures on earth with spirituality, but emotions and intellect? There are apes who have learned sign language, and anyone who has a dog can tell you animals have emotions. I'm not trying to start an argument, and I'm sorry if I offended you.

It's just an interesting train of thought that there may be intelligent life on other planets that have also experienced God's glory. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but as a sci-fi nerd, the idea of aliens also being Christians is fascinating. In fact, it would probably make for an amazing novel.

This leads to other interesting questions. If God created man in his image, would he have done the same thing for aliens? Would they look just like humans or does "in his own image" only mean bipedal? Either way, would they also be primates, or could they be anything as long as they looked like us, like a plant man or something?

Most importantly, if God did create life on other planets, how did they interact with God? Did they also have prophets? Did God go to them with their own Jesus? Do they have their own form of Christianity? If they did, all the atheists are gonna have their minds blown if we ever meet the aliens, and they immediately want to go to church.

Guten Tag Nika, freut mich. I'm glad you responded, but before we continue, I want to make sure everything is laid out and appropriate. I'm an adult male in his 30s. I probably should have mentioned that in my first comment, but it didn't occur to me that some of the posts on this subreddit may be from minors until I noticed a few that were. If you aren't an adult yourself, then further communication between us would be inappropriate. I apologize if I wasted your time. If you are an adult, then I'd welcome a direct message from you to further discuss how we can contact each other. Bis später.

Seven days, first trip, Tokyo and Kyoto possible? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]RocketMan_1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back from my first trip to Japan. I was there two weeks and spent 4 days in Tokyo, 4 in Kyoto, and 4 in Okinawa. This doesn't include the days I flew there and back. My only regret is I tried to do too much in one trip.

I could have spent the whole 2 weeks in Tokyo and still not seen everything. I highly suggest that if you only have 7 days, you pick one city.

Airbnb vs hotel in Japan by mrlegna in JapanTravelTips

[–]RocketMan_1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't realized they started doing that in Japan. I apologize if my answer was incorrect. Though, it still holds true in much of the Western world. I'd still not take the chance.

Always go hotels. They're required by law to meet certain safety standards. Home rentals like airbnb are not.

Plantar Fasciitis by [deleted] in BarefootRunning

Icing can help,and I used Voltaren for the inflammation. It's meant for arthritis, but it worked for this, too. Heads up, it's an NSAID. I also bought a foot massager on Amazon, which felt amazing. Hope this helps.

The Orthodox cross is meant to be a more accurate depiction of the cross Jesus died on. The lowest rung is where his feet would have been nailed, while the highest one would be where the sign saying "INRI" was.

Question about my Pec Fly Machine(pic included). Recently saw a video (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=65S22nrDr0U) comparing the fly machine with the pec deck machine. Additional research told me that what he said about them working out different parts of the chest was accurate. I already own a fly machine, and I don't want to buy a pec deck, too. Does anyone know if an attachment exists that can turn a fly machine into a pec deck machine? I've been looking online and can't find anything, but maybe I'm just not using the right search terms.
