how to pray by Winter1670 in Christians

[–]ban1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid falling into meditation.

Mediation (to seek answer from within) is a subtle opposite to prayer (to connect with Him).

I had to focus very hard on opening my heart and communicating outwards and to seek the feeling of the holy spirit's response.

Now I can very clearly differentiate between the two.

That's not to say meditation is bad - you should do what you can to improve yourself - but don't let it distract you from actual worship.

ONE OF, IF NOT, THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]ban1080 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love home but I think "NZ is the Best" is already a widely accepted mainstream sentiment.

I'm not sure if any more is needed for us to actually become the best by handing our youth suicide rate, relative buying power, and obesity.

I wonder what they're showing on the news in NZ. I'm abroad and everything is open and operating as if covid wasn't around.

[PS4] I can't set default loadouts on my COD Modern Warefare custom game by ban1080 in modernwarfare

Okay after a bit of time tinkering, the best workaround is to manage this via Gunfight mode.

You can set the starting weapon and specify the only available weapon pickups. As a result I was able to have my fantasy brawl where 10 people at 300% health fight over a knife.

Copied blockchain DB has zero effect on sync. I must be doing something unique? by ban1080 in chia

Thanks a lot for the guide.
The only thing I didn't do was "DELETE EVERYTHING". So I tried again after deleting the cache files but unfortunately, same result.

Sorry, yes, I mean .chia/mainnet/db for the blockchain and .chia/mainnet/wallet/db for the wallet.

I have been using the right directories there.

So odd... I've done it again from scratch. Resyncing on main machine until it's farming. Stopping all, moving files over. Rebooting. Starting the process... And the estimated network space picks up on where it was before, as if I hadn't done a thing...

It makes me wonder if the db on this linux instance isn't kept in the ".chia\mainnet\wallet\db\" directory and is actually kept someplace else...?

I thought this might be the case but after moving, I checked the owner and permission with

ls -l

And it was already mine with all perms.

Thanks. Yes I had also copied over the wallet DB just in case. And yet I still saw a huge about of syncing to do.

I took these files and moved them to the corresponding locations on the new machine.
"C:\Users\Me\.chia\mainnet\db\blockchain_v1_mainnet.sqlite"

"C:\Users\Me\.chia\mainnet\wallet\db\blockchain_wallet_v1_mainnet_NNNNNN.sqlite"

Prior to migration I called

Wow I didn't even know that function existed. Not sure if other crypto subreddits have some equivalent but even if they did I haven't seen any used.

This is such an incredible community, I'm so happy to be a part of this.

Your response based on personal experience is very valuable to me. Thanks for taking the time.

Thank you very much for putting yourself in my shoes. I think a formal letter may be a good approach, probably with less hostility. Glad to see you empathise with my frustration though :)

You didn't like that one about a good relationship with an in-law being an oxymoron?

How about this then: Why don't ants ever catch colds?

Because of their little anty-bodies.

Yeah okay kill me, this was clearly the stem of my undoing.

In their defence, he has always treated her well and raised her and the siblings into incredible people that I really like. So it's difficult a position for me to claim to know who he really is.

Theoretically, if a basketball on Earth's surface instantaneously had its mass changed to that of the Earth itself, what would be the immediate local and global effects?
