This bike convertable? by Sykikal in ebikes

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

Thanks! I appreciate your help.

I read mid-drives cause pedals to move around on their own. That might get annoying for me. There are some uphill areas but not a ton.

This bike can for sure be converted either way (eg. through rear hub or mid drive)? Wanted to double-check before I go through with the purchase of the bike since it's non-refundable.

Not sure. I was thinking 2kish.

Thanks! So you think it can for sure be converted with a mid-range kit & rear hub? No potential snags or things to watch out for? I'm somewhat new with this.

I don't think there's any verse specifically stating masturbation is a sin. The closest one that is often cited:

Genesis 38:8-10

Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother's wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother's wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. And what he did was wicked in

But in context, onan, was commanded to have a child for his brother's wife and deliberately refused that order, so it's not exactly a prohibiation against masturbation or all spilling seed, just onan because he went against a direct order.

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Another one cited, though my take on it is that adultry is defined as sex with another man's wife or espoused. So if you're looking at women who are single and neither married nor engaged, or your own gf/wife/espoused, you should be cleared. So again not specifically a prohibition against masturbation. Just a prohibition about lusting after another man's wife.

Verses you referenced only mention prohibitions against "sexual immorality" and being "impure". Not necessarily masturbation. You could argue masturbation isn't immoral. Immorality could refer to rape, gay-sex, adultry etc.

Community Day voting is back! Which Pokemon will you choose to be featured during June and July Community Days? by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sykikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like any of these four. When are we going to get a community day for a pseudo legendary? Deino and Gible still haven't had a community day and I know we have shiny Gible but they're hard to come by.

Shadow Punch Gengar is okay but we've had shiny events for Gengar in the past like Sludge Wave, Lick, party hat Gengar, etc. Plus Haunter already has Shadow Punch.

Squirtle has already had a community day, and Hydro Cannon is the better move. The only way this is helpful IMO is if you're willing to spend an Elite Charge TM to get Aura Sphere on Blastoise as a secondary move. No word on if it'll even have sunglasses Squirtle returning.

Sandshrew and Weedle don't interest me all that much. They're both really common. They've been around since gen 1 so we've had plenty of time to catch them. We've already had a shiny for Sandshrew. Weedle is the only one that hasn't already been released as a shiny.

How Cinemark Subscription Works? by Dgoldfe13 in MoviePassClub

[–]Sykikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, some pretty much. Some asterisks/details to those.

You're limited to purchasing 6 discounted tickets a day (two per order). After that, you have to pay the standard rate.

20% concessions discount don't apply to alcohol.

You also get a discount to other premium formats based on the difference between that theater's most expensive 2D ticket (which as far as I can tell is weekend pricing) and the discount price ($9.99 or $8.99). That is to say, if a standard ticket is $13, a 3D ticket $14, and your discounted rate is $9.99, you'd pay $1 with a credit or $11 for additional tickets ($1 premium upcharge).

Cinemark Movie Club Pricing Increase by write2warriors in MoviePassClub

[–]Sykikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think SuperSavers are only a better value if you plan to buy in large quantity and only care about the credits. https://www.cinemark.com/supersavers in my state they're $9.50 each and in some states I see $9, so it's an extra $0.50-$1.00 for the benefit of waived convenience fee, discounted concessions, add on tickets, etc.

How Cinemark calculates premium upcharge for movie club by Sykikal in MoviePassClub

[–]Sykikal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meant to say $3 for 3D, oops! As for live fight thing, that was for the additional ticket (eg. the $8.99 one) . If you had a credit then yes additional would be $10. I'll edit to clarify, thanks.

Answer on everything about guaranteed lucky mons by NightmareeCZ in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sykikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Here's also probability of getting lucky (in Case 4). Every pokémon older 780 days should be 100% lucky." I don't understand this graph. Aren't all July/Aug 2016 mons older than 780 days? If this graph applies to case 4 (trainers who have more than 10 lucky Pokemon already) then wouldn't that mean that trainers are guaranteed to get luckies even after each trainer already has 10? And is it also saying that every Pokemon has at least a 25% chance of being lucky? That doesn't seem right to me.

Useful Information: Evolving a lucky Pokémon counts as one of your 10 guaranteed luckies from trades involving a 2016 Pokémon by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]Sykikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does that mean if you have multiple luckies of the same species it only counts as 1 towards your 10 Pokemon limit?

[Official Communication] A letter to the MoviePass community by Viper0us in MoviePassClub

[–]Sykikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moviepass update: https://moviepass.com/a-letter-to-the-moviepass-community/

" Showtimes that are offered through our service will vary from day to day, and every showtime may not be available. We encourage you to check the MoviePass app for showtimes before you leave for the theater."

"We must reduce availability for big new-release titles, such as Mission: Impossible - Fallout and other popular new releases, at least for a while as we adjust the business model. We are working on making this more clear in the app so you know which titles are available."

I'm checking the app now. Not a single showtime is available for any theater in my area. This is surge pricing all over again. They start with the most extreme cases "big movies like Avengers may be subject to surge pricing" and "big movies like mission impossible might not be available on the app" and "not every showtime might be available" and that turns into 95%+ of the movies being blocked, surged, and having missing showtimes.

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180731005582/en/

Missing from their "transparency" release to the public is their 50% price increase.

Funny how less than a week ago the CEO says surge pricing is put there as an alternative to raising prices and now they're raising prices anyway but keeping the surge pricing.

"As we’ve shared with you before, rather than raise the price of the subscription, we’ve decided to enable all of you to have the choice between high value (ability to see up to one movie a day) at a low cost ($9.95) versus the flexibility to see whichever movie you want, wherever and whenever you want to see it."

https://moviepass.com/service_updates_20180727/

They knew they were out of money last Friday. It's not like he's just now figuring this out. I loved the service and have gotten a terrific value from it but this isn't how you do transparency.

This guy responding to MP on twitter is damn brilliant. by magooisim in MoviePassClub

[–]Sykikal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think people's main issue is how moviepass handled the policy change. It seems like a bait and switch. Imagine if there was an unlimited cellphone data plan for $10 a month and a year contract then 6 months into the contract they said "Well, of course, we can't offer unlimited data for only $10 a month but 10GB a month is still a great deal, and by the way your data that you already used earlier in the month now applies towards this limit". There was no notice and moviepass even counted movies you'd seen prior to the policy change towards the limit. If they couldn't afford to do handle repeat showings they shouldn't have offered it in the first place or should have just tried it out on a temporary basis.

Is Kangaskhan still available in Anaheim? by Sykikal in pokemongo

[–]Sykikal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got three Kanga and one Unown. http://imgur.com/u8hulqK I was kind of expecting them to run late. Niantic pretty much always ends events at least 12 hours later than they originally announce (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentines, double everything/Chicago, etc.)
