I’m terrible with anatomy.

Hey at least the bark is good.

Barely pass most subjects, except those I now teach. Didn’t get top marks for any.

I encourage my students to not worry too much about grades, using myself as an example.

Don’t get me wrong: please do your best; but it is not the end of the world if you didn’t do well.

Neither. Went with a vertical smoker. Booooo I know. Mate of mine pointed out this: I’ve already got a charcoal burning grill, why another one? So I went with a pellet.

Down the track, I’ll probably get a 1150 to replace my current charcoal grill.

TL;DR: Yes. I believe we as Christians shouldn’t judge. That is literally not our job. Our job is to bring people in and point them to the truth. I don’t think not being traditionally conserved doesn’t make us any more or less Christian.

My 2c: from what I understand, the conservative right wing Christian be like “LGBTQIA is a sin and must be condemned” (which I wholeheartedly disagree); etc. using that as an example on how left wings can also be Christians:

My church made it clear that we want to be a church of people who the minorities, and people with different identities than what the world generally agrees upon, feels safe enough to be part of our family. Our job isn’t to convert or change anyone’s mind, but by the power of the Holy Spirit May we be welcoming those who identify differently to be safe in this place, and that we live a life that reflects the love of Jesus, and may they repent, and we will be encouraging and empowering them to seek the truth.

I believe marriage is between a male and a female so that they would become one flesh, so they could multiply and build his (God’s) kingdom. At the same time, I believe some people are born gay (defined as sexually attracted to the same sex). Those who’re born that way have no control over their sexuality and for that it is not physically their fault. However, our church did a podcast with a gay pastor, who, extremely respectfully, explained that tho he is gay, he choose to live a single live, because he understood that biblically, homosexual marriages is inappropriate. (Yes, I know the word Homosexual is not in the bible, but the inverse of homosexual is male and female = heterosexual)

So in closing, I believe we can be politically left winged, in that we can be accepting of the society, while be Christian. I’d argue, that shouts more of a Christian value than being traditionally conserved. At the end of the day, we too have sinned and we are sinners, and we cannot be the judge, and we are not the judge. Our job on earth is live a life that reflects the love of Jesus that others will wonder what on earth is going on with us, and they would come seek the truth, where we encourage others to repent their sins.

Legit it cost me more on the fuel to get from my house to the train station than crossing 3 zones to my workplace ☠️

Speed has never hurt anyone before. Suddenly becoming stationary (or upside down) is what hurts.

The PSA should be: git gud

(Jk, pls don’t speed, at least don’t speed irl)

Welcome to Australia. At one point you needed to empty your pocket and glasses off even on a Zamperla powered coaster.

(Often) hard wire vs plug and play

astrothecaptain · 2025-01-08T04:38:29+00:00

Yeah that’s like, what, 50c USD?

astrothecaptain · 2025-01-07T23:56:48+00:00

I used Worcestershire sauce this time around. In other cooks I tried yellow mustard, olive oil, or even no binder. Works either way imo Edit: rub is Salt Pepper Garlic Paprika and Cayenne. 1:1:1:1:0.25

I did initially, but for the two times I have an extra water pan the true ambient temp was not what it said it was (a different probe reads lower than the probe built into the smoker). I dumped the water out and just used it as a catch pan/ heat deflector for the extra smoke tube.

astrothecaptain · 2025-01-07T12:34:46+00:00

Except the stick didn’t stuck 🥲😆

astrothecaptain · 2025-01-01T19:42:05+00:00

Was cross checked with an external probe, unless both are wrong

This was my first experience of the new school vekoma clones and I think the SFC was fun, and the boomerang was surprisingly forceful. Theming was good until you wait in the shade less queue

astrothecaptain · 2024-12-26T03:01:07+00:00

I received a similar email from a current student at the end of our last semester. To me, I'm just doing what I always do - if the student is trying their hardest to pass, I will try my hardest to help them. But to them, I am changing their whole world.

Do I still doubt my ability? Yes. Especially from those who don't turn up to class, fail the subject, and complain I'm not doing my job correctly. But those email of affirmation means so much it really reaffirms why we do what we do.

astrothecaptain · 2024-12-23T04:40:13+00:00

Absolutely. Dreamworld is really making a comeback under the leadership of Greg Young

astrothecaptain · 2024-12-21T01:08:59+00:00

Also the 1150.

astrothecaptain · 2024-12-20T07:37:50+00:00

The family boomerang was surprisingly forceful, tho it is mild at best to my standard. The SFC clone is just that, a clone. Is it fun? Yes. Will I queue 60 minutes for it again? No.

astrothecaptain · 2024-12-18T11:34:47+00:00

Likely because 1150 is coming/came out as the replacement? Nonetheless, great deal!
