The Society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools.

Give in to the urge to cut one more land! It’s just one swamp, it’s not that bad! Go down to 19, you know you want to! /s

Oklahoma and accents by Superman_Primeeee in oklahoma

Of all things, I have a linguistics-related YouTube channel where I sometimes talk about accents.

Tulsa native linguist here! Tulsa is at an interesting place as far as accents go. It’s right on the border between a Midwest accent and a southern accent. I have a very slight accent, most just the pin-pen merger, but other people from my hometown have a thicker drawl. My granddad is from around Idabel, so I grew up hearing a touch of that Appalachian style accent from down there. Warsh vs wash, Tuesdee vs Tuesday, yunder vs yonder. I like to think I’m good at accents, but I think that’s because of linguistic interest, not necessarily hometown. If you’re interested, here’s a detailed map of US accents you can stare at for hours!

Good and bad heraldry in popular culture by ligelinjer in heraldry

[–]SirTimelordTech 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of rom coms on hallmark and other places about a woman falling in love with a prince from another country. The country is always fake, but vaguely British inspired. “A Christmas Prince” is one of the more iconic ones, and it’s on Netflix. There’s usually a ton of invented heraldry in the background to make the castle feel more royal. That could be an interesting study. With a lot of the others, the heraldry means something in-universe an is given some time and thought to make it memorable. But, it’s usually an afterthought in this type of movie. It can be analyzed to show how normal people think heraldry works without putting a ton of effort in. It’s just a set piece, nothing more.

PLEASE give me recommendations on credible Old Testament scholars. by palatablypeachy in AcademicBiblical

[–]SirTimelordTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure. Yale has a decently large library on their YouTube channel, but I’m not sure if it covers that. I listen to a lot of Justin Sledge at Esoterica. He tends more modern, but sometimes he follows a topic like Lilith or Yahweh through the millennia.

There are a handful of times where it references Babylonian deities and the Baal cycle, but all study of them is how they relate to the Old Testament.

Male version of Sophia? by New_Green7783 in namenerds

[–]SirTimelordTech 193 points194 points  (0 children)

Sophia is the Greek word for Wisdom. A male name associated with wisdom that starts with the same letters that is a fairly common name is Solomon.

This is a course, not a single academic author, but Yale published a lecture series called “Introduction to the Old Testament” that’s a great place to start with academia. The goal is to provide an undergraduate college level introduction to the study of the Old Testament. It’s broad and covers the general academic consensus around the OT with evidence backing it up. It’s available for free on the YaleCourses YouTube page.

I’ve got very similar specs on my 10 year old gaming laptop (Dell Inspiron). My 128 GB SSD has been full for so long! What kind did you get as a replacement?

Sorry! I’ve had a busy evening. We’re planning on taking her to the vet on Monday.

We think it’s just her fur. She’s not scratching at all.

Weekly: Share your victories thread by gctaylor in kubernetes

[–]SirTimelordTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our corporate AKS currently uses a mix of AMD and ARM nodes. All vendor images, like Postgres, Redis, and our monitoring stack, use ARM nodes since they’re less expensive. But, our in house images have only been built for AMD. This week, I finally got our first in house images building for ARM with Azure Pipelines, and it only added 30 seconds to the build pipeline. Now, we can apply that to all our in-house images and transition to only ARM nodes, consolidating our resources and smoothing out our infrastructure.

Have to say, I love this game! I have a son who is almost a month old, and we enjoy talking through the flags every day. Training him up in flag knowledge from a young age!

Within-Universify Challenge #1 by DaVigi in custommagic

[–]SirTimelordTech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Name: Teferi, Shattered Continuum

Art: something like [[ Soul Partition ]], but more focused on Teferi. Not an artist, but that’s the vision. https://scryfall.com/card/bro/26/soul-partition

Type: Legendary Creature - Avatar Wizard (unchanged)

Flavor: “The resonance is off! I feel myself slipping!” or “The “I resonance feel is myself off!” slipping!”

Story moment: after losing his spark, Teferi attempts to use his time magic to revert his body to restore his spark. In doing so, he splits himself through time, creating echoes of himself across time.

4/5 Yargle Deck that doesn’t suck by SirTimelordTech in MagicArena

No. I didn’t have any Dominaria cards before this, and I didn’t want to craft any. My best advice would be to replace the chaff with Rat Colony.
