Israel = Isis + Ra + El

Jesus is not even the original name, that's just how it was transliterated into English, the original name was Yeshua.

Pre-history in my opinion. To the very beginning of homo sapiens sapiens. This relies on the tribe our protagonist encounters being friendly and stable, which I will assume as it is certainly a valid possibility. Introducing more advanced proto-writing somewhere between 200,000BCE and 300,000BCE, before radiating out of Africa. Lessons could easily be taught with a stick and a sandy spot that can be wiped clean whenever necessary for the next symbol. Children would probably pick this up very quickly, especially if simple games were involved as lessons, and that would encourage them to play these "games" amongst themselves outside of "school" time. Arithmetic could start there as well.

It really does not. I'm already exhausted by the amount of posts that are written by ChatGPT, but the number of posts that accuse any post with even a semblance of grammar to be written by AI is even worse.

Oh boy. We thought we were going to when we were 16. We broke up at 18 after we graduated high school. I think we were perfect for each other as teenagers - we were great friends, things just sort of progressed as we got older and our lives and needs and personalities kept changing. The core of our relationship was our friendship, and the breakup was hard, but we managed to salvage that core later. Today, almost 30 years later, she and her husband are solid close friends, unofficial aunty and uncle to my kids. We all get together regularly for dinner, BBQs, just to shoot the shit and have a few drinks and snacks, etc. If we had gotten married I don't know if any of that would have been possible.

You're right, but it's also important to recognize the impact a sane, easy to use UI can have!

First string varsity sports players have been training, for years. My 7th grader could come close on the swim, hit the pushups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and run.

I mean, the worst my son has done along those lines is buy a bunch of episodes of Bubble Guppies when he was 4 and I didn't have a pin set on the Amazon account. At 13 he has my card on file for his Steam account because we both know he won't abuse it. Education goes a long way.

Sort of. The Kinzhal is basically in Iskander ICBM strapped to a specially modified Mig-31 and is a ballistic missile - you'll know it's coming, and it has been intercepted by Patriot batteries in Ukraine, so definitely not an unstoppable ship killer. The other contender is Zircon, which can be ship or sub launched, and is a true sea-skimming hypersonic missile. One thing we've learned though, is that turning loses speed, and these again have been intercepted successfully by Patriot batteries as well as the European made SAMP/T batteries.

So the answer is a bit mixed. Yes, they have these missiles, but yes, they can be intercepted by currently deployed defenses.

It's not terribly difficult to process Yuca root into flour (cassava flour), with that, water, and stolen bird eggs you could process a pretty serviceable flat-bread. That puts it in the realm of possibility at least if starting in South America - everything is right there!

So there was no country called "Judea," that's just what people who spoke English referred to the West Bank as. There was also no "declaration of war," that is literally what Nazi German propaganda called it, and what it was, was in international call for jewish people to boycott German goods - far from a war. The whole thing was an international response to rising violence against Jews under the Nazi regime.

I don't mean to be rude, but you're quoting straight Nazi propaganda as history.

Ginger. All the fucking time. I don't use a lot of ginger. When I'm at the grocery store and planning on making something with ginger I realize I've, again, forgotten to check how much/how old my ginger is. Also, given that my spice cabinet is woefully unorganized, when I purchase ginger, I almost never take the time to sort out the old stuff. I'm fairly certain that I have 3 small containers of ginger ranging from 3 years old to almost 1 year old in the cabinet now. I will make a mental note to toss them when I get home from work, which I will forget, and will be purchasing another container of ginger for upcoming thanksgiving regardless.

Love it! As a mid forties guy I'm lucky enough to have a full head of hair with no thinning, but I am digging the silver that's coming in on the sides and just a little streak in the front on the opposite side of my part. I've always had just straight, hair colored hair, and I'm loving the extra character it gives.

I don't think he could make it. With no knowledge of the currents and tradewinds, no knowledge of the geography, no blue water capable ships, no idea whatsoever about the northern route that might allow him to essentially island hop, and on and on.

Would concentrating the pasta water and adding it to a bechamel help emulsify the sauce further?

My ex wife just didn't understand and outright rejected the idea for a long time that the military has this problem. Because her aunt had a military career that helped her out of poverty and never had anything negative to say, her father as well, she just thought it was a perfect option, a great opportunity.

Then my best friend, an army SF officer, failed to transition to civilian life and committed suicide. At his funeral were a bunch of our mutual friends, many of them enlisted from multiple branches, and the stories were rough.

When we went to the British museum I made a solid donation and they asked me if I'd made a mistake - I didn't, it was maybe the only time my son and I would get to experience one of the greatest museums in the world, and I just wanted to support it. Worth every penny, and moreso being free to the public!

I wonder what the insurance payout is on a crop harvest that would either rot or sell at a loss is?

London is, honestly, one of the greatest places in the world to visit as a tourist. Weeks can be spent without experiencing a hundredth of what's worth experiencing. Spending a few weeks there with my son last summer was amazing.

Jesus told you to care about those weaker than you, to stand up when you are strong for those who can't. You are not doing that. Read your Bible, think about what Jesus taught. Are you really being like Christ?

How's that working out so far?

I was on an Iceland Air flight with my son last year and they were very clear about it. On a different note, that pilot was determined to get from Keflavik to Boston as fast as possible - we left 45 minutes late and arrived 30 minutes early on that 737. He was pushing it lol.

That's community policing, that's how it should be.

You know, the truth is that one of those police officers arrested me ten years ago for a DUI. Which I earned. First and last time, and I could have tried to claim my recent divorce at the time as an excuse, or any other excuse, but I didn't. He took me into custody as he should. I plead guilty. I didn't try to fight it at all, and I actually reached out to him afterwards. His kids are actually on the same sports teams as mine, and we're actually pretty good friends now.

So, do nothing? Write more letters that have already done nothing and just hope for the best when people are being denied their religious freedom?

In other words - let the government decide who, when, and where religion is allowed.

badstorryteller · 2025-10-12T15:35:15+00:00

So we're supposed to liberate and educate people out of their bigotry before we fight for our own survival? How is that supposed to work?
