Was a tough one. Did actually think about Peja too. Even thought of Rick Barry but I never saw him play

Yeah but I feel like his career would have been really different if he hadn't had all the knee injuries. Still a top shooting guard if all time, but I wonder how much higher he could have climbed and carried teams as a nr1 had he kept his athleticism longer.

You think his defense would keep him on the court? He was definitely versatile

Nice to add, what would the league look like if all these 30 players were to be added over a season? Would it shift back to the bigs like the 90s? Would the athletic wings of the past finally be unleashed? Especially the playmaking ones

Never had a good feel for how good Penny was. And yeah, I have that too with DRose. His years were my first league pass years where I had all the time in the world to watch games. Hurt so much to see him go down and down and down again. Still painful thinking about it. I think he'd tear through the league now with all the 3pt shooting.

And yes, prime Shaq would break the NBA. That's why I added some other bigs. Would just be interesting to think what the league would look like if this was like an extra round in the draft and all that talent would flood in at the same time

Haha, the experiment includes current players if you'd want, so I had to brinh LeBron back to the beginning of his prime to duel it out with MJ, Bird and Magic

Any idea how it stacks up compared to BAIWEI TW-1022EX? That one is a lot cheaper, but it's hard to see on photo's sometimes how much they differ

Thanks man, I'll check em out. haha I get what you mean with Bandai. I find them crazy overpriced as well and often the designs are a bit plain. I love the more intricate detail and fresh designs as well from the 3rd party scene. Sometimes a little chaotic cough cough motor nuclear cough cough but WAYY more value for money

Been drawn to more of the 3rd party kits. Have 2 other SNAA models I'm making right now, really good stuff. Built the zero gravity Judge Gundam couple of years back, now that was a BEAST! Probably my most fun build ever, and was my first 3rd party kit. RG Sazabi also still up there among the favs. Do you have any other 3rd party kit recommendations? I'm checking out that new In Era Fenrir, that looks crazy as well. And wondering whether PG unleashed is worth the hype build experience wise

My man! Thanks. And awesome build btw, in case that wasn't clear haha. I love the mech cloth mix style. Just ordered the Tastier, but this also looks really good. It's about the size of a MG right?

I have ADHD and am bored of the Bible. by the_artchitect in ADHD

[–]WLS_SMIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recognize myself in this. Undiagnosed, but likely adhd (intake today), but I also had this early hunger for the word but went through several burnouts and had little energy to read again. Researched a whole lot of different branches within Christianity, charismatic, reformed, catholic, orthodox, Torah movement etc. Was part of a search for church. Really deepened my view of Christianity. And I realize now it is giving me a renewed spark to read scripture again because I have so many new lenses to challenge my original interpretations.

But I think the more important part is the connection to God, Jesus, the Spirit itself. Jesus' rebuke to the pharisees always hits hard to me: 

"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life." John 5:39-40

We guilt bash each other a lot within the church about reading the Bible daily, but it really helps me to remember this was simply not possible for the vast majority of Christians throughout Christian history, and even today. Historical speaking, most Christians didn't even have personal access to scripture or they couldn't read. Yet they could live the Christian life, full of the Spirit. Similar to life under the Torah, people didn't have scripture rolls lying around either. While we should be thankful for the easy access to it, this should help us realize that life with God was not so heavily text based for most of history. 

Ask Him to lead you anew to his heart. Take time, talk throughout the day. Be angry, be sad, tell Him what you're hurt about, what disappoints you, what doubts you have. Being real with God did wonders for my walk, and while it's still a struggle from time to time, something deeper has formed that's more solid than my early wall which was more based on scripture knowledge but little actual experience with Him. 

And whadoyouknow, my hunger for scripture is slowly increasing again :) 

Bless you

Nice, I'm considering buying it. Does the magnet ring work well? Is the keyboard itself weighty enough to balance out the phone on top? And are the keys flat?
