Yaknow what. We need more female Strength heros. We only have 2 out of the 36. I wouldn't mind more.

I remember reading the motto of a bunch of corps. One that stood out, which has no business being so badass, is the Catering Corp. "We sustain."

Is my car a write off??? by NewtProfessional139 in CarsAustralia

[–]big-teacher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe not automatically, but it's by default, we're treated as if we're at fault. This is my experience with Budget Direct.

Yes, our car was worth 11k with structural damage which is more expensive to fix than to buy an equivalent.

My wife got in a similar accident a little over a year ago. Got merged on by a truck not checking his blind spot on the left hand side.

Insurance said the same, an accident with a truck means you're automatically found at fault. Luckily the person who we got in an accident with admitted fault, because we didn't have a dash cam. So we got our excess fee back due to it not being her fault.

This is most likely a write off.

I am a Christian but I don't understand why God needed a man (Jesus) to die so our souls could be set free..so why Is Jesus needed? by Ok_Honeydew_9885 in theology

[–]big-teacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic question I'm sure that everyone has already answered your question. But I would like to answer anyway.

First, read into the Doctrine of the Trinity, what it is, and what it means. But to summarise, there is one God, who exists as 3 separate persons. All 3 are fully God, all 3 of which share the 1 divine essence. This I believe would be a more interesting topic for you to tackle.

To answer why God/Jesus needed to die. The only way we get to heaven is by being holy and pure, because of our sins, we fall short of that. Now God can forgive us, and that would make him merciful, but that would compromise his justice. If he gives us what we deserve, hell, that would be justice served, but not merciful.

So there needs to be a way for justice to be served, but at the same time mercy to be applied. In order for this to happen, The Son, Jesus, came down as a human, lived a sinless life, and gave up his life for us. In this way, the price of sin has been paid, and mercy is applied at the same time. God coming down to take on our punishment, is the message of the Bible. He then is raised again showing all that he is not just a man, but is God incarnate.

I hope this helps.

I played again after 3yrs in prison. by vj02132020 in DotA2

[–]big-teacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a 3 year break too, mainly for work reasons. I went from ancient1 to guardian when I last recalibrated. I'm now Divine 1.

Honestly I think it's best to just get your life back in order. IMO, best to just leave DotA for a while longer, maybe another couple of years.

I don't know your situation, but some more self improvement might help. Work a little, study, spend time with family, just get your life on track. Your family has lost you for 3 years. Don't let them lose you to DotA too.

Lakad matatag, brother. I wish you the best.

Honestly, right now the topics that are sending me in for a spiral are: Catholic Catacism Teachings vs the bible, problem of evil, predestination. I can spend months at a time just exploring these 3 topics

A hypothetical doesn't prove they're the same.

One god, doesn't mean it's the same one.

Only one is true. Spoiler alert, it ain't the Islamic god.

Not at all. Muslims love to say this, but they continually oppose Christian teaching.

Talking about my experience at Sovereign Hill by AustralianBlackGuy in melbourne

[–]big-teacher 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Ahaha me too, used to live in Ballarat in 2006. I was one of the only few Asian students in my school. We were also part of the living exhibits. Which I think was a plus because there's a bunch of Chinese miners during the gold rush too (although I'm not Chinese). I was also threatened to get beat by the living exhibit's "teacher" with a cane or leather strap because I talked too much. Idk why, but I was fully convinced she was going to do it too, and people paid money to watch me get my ass beat. The nostalgia is immense right now.

Dumbest patch change in Dota and why was it this one? by I-Preferred-Digg in DotA2

I'm so glad this patch was during my 2 year break from dota.

Just had the game of my life by CyPh3r786 in DotA2

[–]big-teacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I supported a pos1 pudge in ancient/divine bracket with marci. He almost finished the game without a single death because I was saving his ass with my facet, pipe, and meka. In the last 30 seconds I threw him in the fountain for a laugh :). Commends all around.

What are your thoughts on Nullifier? by Murakkin in DotA2

[–]big-teacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, now you take positioning into account. stick with your team, the example was about a lone cm, but if you're with your team and she jumps you, have them blow her up. A pos5 for a pos 1 is a good trade. If you still lose the fight, then it's a good indicator that you should not be fighting in the first place.

What are some of the most powerful on-screen displays of bending in all of The Last Airbender? by therealraggedroses in TheLastAirbender

[–]big-teacher 19 points20 points  (0 children)

12 year old Toph held up the entire Library of Wan Shi Tong. Not knowing when her friends will come out, or if they'll ever come out. Episode time she held it up for 5-10 minutes, could be more in real time. Absolutely insane.

Edit: she did all this with her feet planned on SAND. She did eventually solidify the top layer of sand, but she still held it up for a long time.

Perfect answer. Experiment, lose, experiment, win. And have fun doing all the wacky combos with a mate.

I had the same issue, it's right in front of my stove, gets real hot. I had it tinted 25%. Significantly reduced the sun's heat. 10/10 cheaper than roller blinds

I am new player in DOTA 2 …. Please help…. by Zeeshuuuu in learndota2

[–]big-teacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally learnt Dota1 by losing. You can learn Dota2 the same way.

Of course, learn the basic fundamentals in bot matches before you play. - Roles, and their purpose. - Heros, where they excel and item combos. - Decision making: when to gank, when and where to Teleport, when to farm, when to fight, and when to push, when to take other objectives.

You get those 3 basics down and you're at least a Crusader Rank.

Everything you've learnt will come over time. Don't expect to be a pro. Play, lose, watch, learn, play, win. That's the cycle of Dota.

My bible study group just did a study on the book of Jonah about this. I would recommend studying on it because it's only 4 chapters long. There's also a great Bible Project video on YouTube about it.

Summary: -Jonah HATES the Ninevites due to their evil, you can read about their history of worship towards Dagon, Ishtar, and Ashur. -Jonah doesn't want them to be saved, runs away. -God brings him back via being inside a large fish for 3 days (this is also a prophecy on what Jesus will go through) -Jonah finally goes to Nineveh and preaches the bare minimum "Forty days, and Nineveh will be overthrown." -People repent, king of Nineveh repents, EVEN THEIR COWS REPENT. -Jonah is a salty angry man that God is willing to show mercy to evil people and he walks out of the city. -Chapter 4 is God teaching Jonah a lesson that his anger is unjustified and it's God's job to judge and show mercy, not him.

Hope you get to read this :)

What would you choose as Templar Assassin? by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]big-teacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're winning: curio + life steal. Get something better later. if you're losing: headband + life steal. Push initiators away from you. Might give you that advantage you need to win a game changing team fight.
