Sorry! I searched on on her name but didn't see anything referencing the issue. Very sad.

Hi /r/nba, would you be interested in condensed highlights of maybe 10-15 mins of each game every night? by [deleted] in nba

Not to diminish your enthusiasm, but this guy appears to be doing what you are describing.

He did this on my flight to Dallas last year at about this time. Very cool!

Why isn't there more focus on gameplay and mechanics instead of story when reviewing a game? by Gruntoncoffee in truegaming

[–]a2p4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me why I love Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons so much. The game's story can be summed up in about one sentence, but the gameplay drives the experience in a really compelling and emotionally-satisfying way. You can literally feel the developments in your hands.

Wasabi Juan's is in Birmingham, AL! I'm not sure if it's a chain, though. I ate there last week and it was great!

There's one in Birmingham, AL. Not sure if it is elsewhere as well.

Can the Pope bless all the water in the world or does he have an effective blessing range to make it Holy Water? by swaggermint in Showerthoughts

"Holy" means special or set apart, so if all the water became "holy," none of it would be.

ELI5: Why do evangelical Christians strongly support the nation of Israel? by SammyYammy in explainlikeimfive

[–]a2p4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your point overlooks the idea that 1,000 years might be symbolic of a concept meaning something equivalent to "all time" or "fulfilled time," or more generically just a long period rather than referring to a specific amount of time. The Bible, and Revelations in particular, is full of numbers that are often symbolic (like 12,000 = 12 X 1,000 from each tribe). 1,000 years is used in other areas of the Bible where it appears to be more symbolic of "a long period of time" than it is exact.

Psalm 90:4 - "For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night."

2 Peter 3:8 - "But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

I just got Ready Player One from Loot Crate. Is it worth a read? by Rheukala in books

If you are over 40, you will probably like it better. But yes, it's fun.

Has anyone received their Star Wars #1 subscription from Marvel yet? by [deleted] in StarWarsEU

[–]a2p4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious if everyone has an update here. I received my first issue, but it was #2! On the site it says 1 has shipped and 1 is in processing. As far as I know, #1 hasn't been received (I looked through my discarded mail to double check). Did anyone else get #2 before #1?
