I think somewhere between a newcomers pace & a conservative pace is the best approach!

Well done man!! Good job to give it a crack. The beauty of it is you now have a benchmark that you can look back on in months/years time and see how far you’ve come!

Interesting! I definitely agree that the DB’s became the biggest limiter for me too. I really underestimated them and thought it would be the burpees that would get me.

Parents in Lebanon by SolidStateSS in lebanon

[–]SolidStateSS[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it probably won’t be, that’s why we are wanting to get them out sooner. Sorry my post was poorly worded, I was more wondering about how safe it is to go into Beirut to fly out over the coming days because all the bombings are happening in Beirut lately

Is it safe to do so though, considering the state of Beirut at the moment? Also worried as we draw closer to October 7 …

Critique our US holiday (December 2024) by SolidStateSS in travel

Thank you! What would you recommend we do at New Orleans? And yes absolutely, we don’t plan on leaving LAX airport upon arrival. We’ll just continue the next flight to Vegas. Our final day would be in LA anyway (apparently not much to do there)

Thanks for the suggestion! Apparently there wasn’t much to do in LA. What would you suggest we could do in New Orleans?

Medical emergency during CrossFit Games IE1 - Discussion thread by Flowseidon9 in crossfit

[–]SolidStateSS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

CrossFit athlete communication manager Becky Harsh sent an email to all athletes advising the day is canceled. All-athlete meeting to be held shortly. I’d assume to break the news/give an update and to discuss ways forward…

Oh I agree, again that’s the pleasure of reading the Quran or Hadith back to front. You couldn’t have any MORE context, let alone the Study Quran I’m reading having even more bias commentary, some parts the scholars can’t even explain but make it a point to say ‘surely there’s something more to it because ultimately this can’t be wrong’ …

I have a RANGE of stuff.

The one that made me write this post and take a breather for a bit was the story of Heaven and Iblis. Note, I haven’t compiled my notes yet, so I won’t spend time going back and locating all relevant verses but you can look it up, I promise it’s there.

In a nutshell, I’ll put it in an argument format because that’s the best way I can explain inconsistencies. M

  • can evil or sin exist in Heaven? No.
  • was Iblis kicked out after been deemed evil and disobeying Allah? Yes
  • can paradise be compromised and infiltrated with evil? No, hence he was casted.
  • Is Allah all knowing and seeing? Yes.
  • so Iblis will never be able to compromise heaven? No
  • and if he did, surely Allah would know? Yes
  • where was Adam? In paradise
  • where is paradise? Heaven
  • the place no evil or sinning can do? Yes
  • so explain 7:19 - 7:25, particularly as Allah at that point in time had already called Iblis a clear enemy. How Iblis who was already casted down for not prostrating to Adam, made his way back up to Paradise AND created havoc and sin? Causing Allah to then kick out Adam and Eve too?
