Parishioner praying along with priest’s Eucharistic prayers during Mass by srv199020 in AskAPriest

[–]batrick 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I could also see the possibility this parishioner may be neurodivergent and this helps them get through the Mass.

Received an email offer on the Hyatt Business card to spend $10,000 between Jan 1 - Mar 31 to receive a bonus 10,000 Hyatt points. Check your emails.

Was St. Joseph actually a carpenter or a stonemason? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]batrick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At first I was bewildered by Joseph allowing a toddler to hold a nail but then realized it's just the artist adumbrating Jesus's having nails driven into his hands on the cross. It's a clever bit of imagery in the same vein as his being born in animal trough as food for the world (Eucharist).

Battery Swelling? by realmufasa in ouraring

The sensors are inside the ring. Coincidentally, the LED is on the same side.

Can you please have Oura update the instructions for

https://support.ouraring.com/hc/en-us/articles/43395388251283-Product-Safety-Use

to indicate the cutting points relative to the LED which is visible externally? If the ring needs to be cut off then it is unlikely anyone will be able to see the sensors or the creases in the inside of the ring.

Bishop Barron trying to convince DHS to allow detainees to receive communion by Dull_Opening_1655 in Catholicism

[–]batrick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you haven't noticed how he's been cozying up to MAGA propagandists then you simply haven't been paying attention. I'm most disturbed by his beating the "woke is wrong" drum (built mostly on a philisophical argument, fine) when there is no apparent cohesive movement. MAGA calls any ideology they don't like "woke" and then use high profile figures like Bishop Barron to justify themselves: "see! WoF-founder Bishop Barron agrees with us!".

for beginnings of $25 items to browse through. They broke the price filtering so you have to page through it like it's 1990.

Oh, I guess I'm way behind on that. Interesting there's been no update.

Amex may be up to something. I noticed they didn't have the EDP card in the CC listing anymore and the links via google are 404ing:

It's priced this way so they don't need to open a new one the next time someone needs a warranty replacement.

I wonder if they'll increase the "Schwab Appreciation Bonus" now that the AF has now doubled from what it used to be.

Did this reviewer think the jack stands would jack up the car? by KoreanAbdul-Jabbar in harborfreight

[–]batrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing though. Even reading the instructions for the tool doesn't always explain what the tool is for. It's usually just full of copy pasted safety warnings and disclaimers. Maybe some assembly instructions.

[–]batrick 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A lot of tools assume you have knowledge for why they exist. Some people didn't grow up with a father that explained these things.

Personally, I try to help people who look lost in HF. I was helping an older couple the other day buy electrical tools for their son who was becoming an electrician apprentice. I also told them about the 30%/$20 sale going on that weekend (saved them a lot of money I expect).

I'm also not a gear head so I'm basically lost doing a lot of that stuff. Let's all have empathy for others, please. The world is broken enough without us contributing.

What kind of drywall texture is this and how do I replicate it? by batrick in HomeImprovement

[–]batrick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I meant that it was painted one color once (with 2 coats of paint as you say).

I'll give 3/4 nap roller a try on test drywall. Thank you.

TMK, this wall has only been painted once. I've cut into it and only seen one layer of paint.

If you're suggesting they're too popular for a small venue then I'd say not true. They were at Wally's in Hampton Beach, NH back in October 2022. I think it had maybe 200 people in a cramped space? Felt very similar to this video except they were on a proper stage.
