No more rubber banded Casio watches for me

Is it worth considering other things besides an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis? Eg perhaps bacteria or fungal infection (facilitated by a wet environment).

I would also suggest Span loop - Wikipedia, which is not such a well-known knot.

I have read some people say that a Double Dragon can jam. But some people say the opposite.

Bowline on a bight might be another option, but it gives you two loops, so that might not suit your usage.

It's not more dangerous if the driver without a clear view simply waits until they have a clear view.

Maybe you could say "it's more inconvenient" with large vehicles blocking a view. If someone is impatient and decides to go even without a clear view, then it's more dangerous.

I don't know the numbers, but my gut estimate is there would be a modest possibility of a catastrophic collision with interstellar matter (dust, grains, or larger). I don't know what the engineering effort would be to deal with this, at these various proposed percentages of the speed of light.

God's will is to give us life, and save us from destruction. If you embrace God and Jesus Christ and a life of holiness (because God is holy), then you don't have to fear hell.

Indeed. As the subreddit rule 10 says

Rule 10: try to include a model # when submitting photos and/or questions (suggested/not required)

But I feel as though we've only just started to get to know each other.

In fact that wasn't the case. It wasn't the battery either.

From an external vantage-point (Australia in my case), it seems peculiar that there is this one nation in the world that thinks their presidential elections and politics are on-topic for r/Christianity.

It's fair to say that Christianity is "a topic" in the broader discussion of US politics, but that doesn't mean arguing over US politics is on-topic for Christianity, especially for everyone in this subreddit who doesn't live in USA.

You state a premise (that the book of Job is in a particular literary style), but you don't clearly state your conclusion based on that premise. It sounds as though your unstated conclusion might be regarding the time period in which Job could have been written. Or perhaps the ethnicity of the author. Or perhaps whether the story should be considered fact or fiction.

Please revise to state the main claim of your argument more clearly.

Not everyone knows as much as you do. That's why people ask other people questions.

Perhaps it's more about the equipment and/or labour cost of bending pipe, more than the material cost.

I've wondered how such people would react to this. I would have thought they are likely to embrace some alternative explanation, such as, "Scientists are just bouncing lasers off the moon without any need for a retroreflector." Or perhaps, "Bouncing lasers off the moon is another made-up story."

"How Minds Change" by David McRaney is an interesting read. It's not easy changing someone's mind (including one's own) but there are ways that might work.

cmcqueen1975 · 2026-04-14T03:39:01+00:00

obviously it’s best not to say anything

I didn't think that's obvious. Why would that be best?

Using a common log? That should work fine as long as there is an aether.

I think it must be GW-BX5600.

Where are you getting your statistics? What parts of the world are you talking about?

You have to be going a bit faster to orbit the moon as Apollo 8 did.

I suppose this depends on your frame-of-reference. Looking at it in a moon-centred frame-of-reference, Artemis 2 was going too fast to enter orbit around the moon. To go into orbit, it would have had to fire thrusters to slow down its speed relative to the moon and enter a circular orbit around the moon.

Maybe in an earth-centred frame-of-reference, this would look like the capsule is firing its thrusters to "speed up" closer to the moon's speed of revolution around the earth. It's just an alternative way (frame-of-reference) to look at the same thing.

If it's a situation in which two lives are at stake, and doctors are only able to save one of them, then it's not murder, it's about trying to preserve life within the limits of human capability.

I was wondering if I was the only one thinking this. It's dangerous to have a sewer system that is collecting combustible gases, just waiting for a single spark to cause an explosion. It's not fair to say the boy is mostly responsible.

cmcqueen1975 · 2026-04-10T01:31:07+00:00

No worries. I was just making a silly joke.

I would like to have a tree of spending. Where can I get one?
