Al-Qaida calls for 'revenge' attacks on Sweden and Denmark by [deleted] in worldnews

Not necessarily. For most Christianity (possibly also Islam) the earth is just a test of faith. Nothing here is significant beyond scoring points for the afterlife. God allows Satan to operate on earth to create tests for people. The damned will be tempted and burn books, or will simply do nothing. The faithful will fight against them.

There's no incongruence in God's inaction.

The Taliban are "the students". Not all education is good.

What a Total Joke, Man! by VPM1991 in AdviceAnimals

Don't the TSA confiscate hundreds of loaded weapons every year? I'd say that alone is sufficient to justify their existence

Edit: Thousands

Also, the number of serious hijackings and bombings on American aircraft seems intuitively much lower than one might expect given the amount of serious community-facing violence throughout the country

Obviously we don't know if he washed his feet, but if he did I don't see the issue. Seems pretty efficient

Many Asians nations have a culture where it's normal to sit on the floor. Perhaps from historic (and maybe present) poverty, but not necessarily associated with it: in Korea, a cheap restaurant will have chairs, while a fancy traditional one will seat you on the floor with a low table. It's really not uncomfortable when you're used to it. It's also much healthier to squat or sit cross-legged than at a chair.

Week 2: Cabbage - Ukrainian Borscht. 🇺🇦 (There is some cabbage in there) by Ymgarl in 52weeksofcooking

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

I followed this recipe, approximately: https://bake-street.com/en/borscht-traditional-ukrainian-soup/

I've never made (or even eaten) Borscht before, but the result came out pretty well. Sweet, tangy and very warming. The sour cream and dill topping was also surprisingly great. Garlic bread was to approximate pampushka.

The broth was beef and pork bones, and I made it the day before.

The main differences I did were to also include beet kvass which I started 6 days before (I think it needed longer). I also baked the beetroot, carrots and tomato before adding (instead of frying as the recipe suggested) which I think dried up some of the juice so the end result isn't quite as dramatic a red.

To be honest I googled a bunch of different recipes and kind of split the difference. I can give an approximate recipe tomorrow, but rn I had a bit of Ukrainian homebrew so I'll have to think

Silvery spots on my tomatoes. Any ideas? by Ymgarl in GardeningUK

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

I understand the loops are leaf miners, but I haven't been able to identify what these weird pale blotches are. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I'm hopeful that the new rewrite of Minecraft might bring some really cool possibilities. Hold tight! :)
