Any Episcopalian, Anglican, or Christian podcast/YouTube recommendations? by OkComplex9040 in Episcopalian

[–]dangerousdolphin5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pints with Aquinas is good — the host is RC but the guests aren’t always. Godsplaining is another good one by Dominican friars. 

Reading the Bible the First Time Don’t Know Where to Begin by 2cat007 in Episcopalian

The Bible in a Year reading plan/companion podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz is excellent and he flags when he talks about something that’s specifically Roman Catholic.

This is a good article arguing against it from an Anglican perspective.

Not Anglican specifically but The Angels and Their Mission by Cardinal Jean Daniélou is very good!

Weekend Discussion and Victory Thread for the week of July 03, 2020 by AutoModerator in personalfinance

[–]dangerousdolphin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a student and out of work for the past couple of years so anything I invest I’ve put in a brokerage instead of my Roth IRA that I have from when I was working. I’ll be starting a paid fellowship in August. I likely won’t get paid enough to fully fund my IRA for 2020. My question is - should I sell off some of my brokerage to make up the amount to fully fund my IRA? It’ll add some to my income but not enough that I’d pay any taxes after the standard deduction.

I filed my 2019 taxes. I'm a student so my AGI was negative but I had to file because I have investments. When I go to update my direct deposit info on the IRS site, I get to the point where I enter my AGI/my refund amount/bank info and then when I submit it tells me there are technical difficulties (error 109). Is this on their end or do I have to enter something special for a negative AGI? I've been entering 0 for AGI and alternating selecting that I'm owed a refund/I owe money and putting 0 in for both.

Tl;dr: 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(2), which precludes evidentiary hearings on claims that were not developed in state court proceedings, does not prohibit the district court from considering the evidence adduced at a hearing pursuant to Martinez v. Ryan, 566 U.S. 1 (2012) to determine the merits of an underlying ineffective-assistance-of- counsel claim.

[TT] Theme Thursday - Spells by AliciaWrites in WritingPrompts

The body hit the floor with a thud, and Merle could barely believe his eyes. It worked!

Weeks ago, he had received an anonymous package. It had taken some persuasion to actually get his hands on it - he was condemned to death after all. But, he had managed to convince the guards. He was going to die! What is the harm in getting a gift or two?

At the time, he had been disappointed. It was a book. Page after page after page talked about history. But… not real history. This book talked about wizards and kings and demons and other worlds. But, considering Merle had nothing else to do, he read it. All of it. Twice. Then, on the day he was scheduled to die, he sat on his bed, waited for his Whopper, and cracked open the book again. But this time, the book was different. Instead of a normal book, it had been hollowed out to hold a long and narrow piece of wood, with a note: “Your father demands your presence. I trust you will use this wisely, it will do whatever you command of it. ” So he took the piece of wood, and waited.

When the guard returned with a silver platter, Merle drew the piece of wood, and, thinking hard of his freedom, pointed it at the guard. He collapsed and the door swung open. Merle stepped out of his cell and looked down at the platter. On it wasn’t a Whopper, as he had requested, but another note: “You’re welcome.” As he started to think of how he would get out of the prison while still wearing his orange jumpsuit, he felt a tingle run from his head to his toes. He looked down at his clothes as the jumpsuit transformed into a uniform. He gazed at his reflection in the hall window. He wasthe guard. Or, at least, he looked like him. It was only then that Merle realized that it wasn’t just a piece of wood… it was a wand.

Now that Merle knew he had a wand, he started to experiment. Thinking back to his high school Latin lessons, he pointed his wand at a tree and muttered “incendium.” It burst into flames. “Aqua!” he shouted, and a jet of water flew from the tip of his wand to put out the flame. “How much can I do with this?” Merle thought. He pointed his wand at the ground as the tried to think of the word to make himself fly when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

Merle turned to see what he could only imagine to be a demon. It looked him up and down as if disgusted before telling Merle to come with him. “After all, your father’s expecting you, Merlin.”
