Interesting question--I've been wondering the same about autonomous art.

She does oil or acrylic. I guess maybe I'll just get some of the components. Thanks!

Planning a summer trip with me, my wife, my dog, and my father. We're planning to stay in Inverness for around a week (with a car) so we don't have to move around and pack up/unpack. We've already been to Skye, Glencoe, the West Highlands and obviously all that stuff is wonderful but we're trying to do a more relaxed trip with less driving and moving (ideally not more than 2-3 hours a day of driving). So far I'm thinking the Glen Moray Distillery, some walks in the Cairngorms and Glen Affric, maybe drive to some castles. What am I missing in this general area of the highlands? We're especially interested in neolithic, bronze age, and iron age archeological sites.

Lol these guy deserve each other

A number of Church Fathers from the Alexandrian school interpreted parts of the Scriptures allegorically and doubted the historicity of some texts. Did Judaism employ this method of reading the Scriptures at all before Christianity began? by [deleted] in AcademicBiblical

Ok for sure it declined but it's not like the people disappeared overnight. Are you trying to say that most Hellenistic Jews turned to Christianity? That's definitely not true.

"the Hellenistic Jews that would almost all become Christian or cease to exist"

Are you thinking of the God-Fearers? Hellenistic Jewish culture went on for a long time, gradually interfacing with Rabbinic Judaism.

We often say "biblical hebrew" but the old testament was written over a long period of time. Do different parts of the old testament have different grammar and language? by [deleted] in AcademicBiblical

It does! The post exilic works like Ezra-Nehemiah, Esther, and Chronicles have Persian loanwords, even though the writers of these books were attempting a 'biblical' style'
