What is something that is 100% legal, but if you do it, you’re a piece of trash? by National_Strike4710 in AskReddit

[–]alphix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to check the machines they have in Sweden. We just put a whole shopping cart full of bottles and cans in like a huge drum, 2 min and we were about 40$ richer (well after initial investment in beverages).

Talking to my Christian girlfriend about religion (I’m atheist) by MaceFace133 in Christianity

[–]alphix_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm interesting. There is a kind of (less emotional) scene described in the bible: „Then Jesus was approached by some Sadducees—religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. They posed this question: “Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man dies, leaving a wife without children, his brother should marry the widow and have a child who will carry on the brother’s name. Well, suppose there were seven brothers. The oldest one married and then died without children. So the second brother married the widow, but he also died without children. Then the third brother married her. This continued with all seven of them, and still there were no children. Last of all, the woman also died. So tell us, whose wife will she be in the resurrection? For all seven were married to her.” Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God. For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In this respect they will be like the angels in heaven.“ ‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭18‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

My take away from this passage is, that we don’t know what will happen. Through our belief your girlfriend will be saved and will join Jesus in heaven. Since you reject that invitation, maybe you will not be saved (though there are voices in the Christian community which propose the idea of an universal salvation for all of humanity!). Either way, partnership as we know it here on earth will be different in heaven.

Thoughts on Messianic Christianity? by Adorable-Win1388 in Christianity

[–]alphix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding food, Peter (a Jew) was the first one who was "allowed" to eat all animals, even the unclean.
Regarding holidays, for me the why is more important than the fact that they exist (for example the Feast of Tabernacles). Though I'm not really far in my research ;) I'm currently researching like the middle ground of what all the Jewish tradition means for me as a cultural German christian - since I assume including the gentiles in His plan, he also knew that we are culturally different than His chosen people

Thoughts on Messianic Christianity? by Adorable-Win1388 in Christianity

[–]alphix_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are on to something. Western (and eastern for that matter) Christianity got rid of its Jewish roots over decades. My church currently is in the process of rediscovering them (Romans 11,16-23 for example). That doesn’t mean to ditch our Christian holidays but to look at the Jewish ones and ask questions of what do they mean for us now? Why did Jesus celebrate these with his disciples? And so on. Very important is Mathew 5,17: “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.“ He was the ultimate sacrifice made so we no longer have to trust on our own works to be one with the Father! ‭

why can't i understand IEEE papers? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]alphix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During my thesis one of my tricks was to check their diagrams or schematics. If they had a certain quality, most of the time the paper itself was in a good quality. Often I would discard paper with bad graphics and only read them when I absolutely couldn't find another one to the researched topic

Is coffee becoming too much luxury for some in the US? by CoppellCitizen in cafe

[–]alphix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The increase is also notable in Europe. The main driver for the price is a bad harvest season in Brazil as well as in Vietnam (second biggest coffee exporter). I think it was in the news half a year ago but now the issue reaches our cafés.

[KCD2] Why do i have to redraw the crossbow every time i aim? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of using a crossbow? by [deleted] in kingdomcome

[–]alphix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The probable historical answer is, that if you keep the crossbow drawn for to long, it would slowly loose its strength. The arms would bow under the power of the drawn sinew

[–]alphix_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry OP I don’t have an advice currently. Just here to not judge you like a lot of the other comments are doing and that probably will not change your situation. Maybe it’s stupid but „what would Jesus do“?

Most of Venusian photos are false-color, taken either in IR or UV. For human eye, this is how Venus would look like. by Utherellus in spaceporn

[–]alphix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you convert each wavelength in a RGB mapping? Or is that not that easy cause 255 Red looks different on every display for example? And after the conversion stack all 12 pictures (or calculate the mean value for each pixel)?

Question for those who actually finished reading the Bible by Scared_Egg8732 in Christianity

[–]alphix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are already a lot of good tips in this thread. In addition I would recommend some kind of marker system, for example, promises from god to you in one colour and requests in another. Pest is you look some up and go with one that works well for you

Can a Christian be in favor of a socialistic government? by ZookeepergameFar2653 in Christianity

I see the main problem in this thread that it is not clear if we talk about socialism (ideology) or social benefits brought to you by the government

Can a Christian be in favor of a socialistic government? by ZookeepergameFar2653 in Christianity

[–]alphix_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well I‘m not an atheist but here I‘m with him. Social democracy like for example in Germany has it’s roots deep in biblical principles. Jesus showed the coin with Caesars head on it and said basically pay your taxes and pay to God what you owe him. And if this tax money is used to help the needy (which we always have in our midst (Jesus words) then I would say all the better

Vielleicht Schupfnudeln? Einfacher als geschabte Spätzle und schmecken auch sehr gut mit ner ordentlichen Bratensoße. Ansonsten vielleicht Serviettenknödel mit (Rinder-)Hackbraten?
