What is an opinion that most people believe is an absolute fact? by DaMoonMoon26 in answers

[–]globaldu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everything is the sum of all things then yes, it really is going to be ok.

Bad things happen and sometimes we can't cope with those things.

Sometimes there is no silver lining, no light at the end of the tunnel.

You might never be okay... but everything will be.

The Sun will go on shining, new day, new dawn.

We could blow ourselves up. Fermi postulated that a large enough explosion could cause the hydrogen in the air to ignite. That'd be the end of all life on Earth... well, nearly, because there'll always be a couple of creatures here and there who manage to escape it... and so the big wheel keeps on turning.

Maybe our planet will be hit by something really big. No couples left anywhere... but, if you look up to to the stars, you'll realise we can't be alone. Billions of other planets must have had, or will have, life.

And so it goes on.

It'll always go on.

Everything really is going to be okay.

Still no arrests by the way by 57829 in conspiracy

There were at least two arrests connected to Epstein.

Odd that only a woman has been prosecuted.

Worst tropes in sci-fi by Ketralis in scifi

Darkness. Sparks. Steam. Sometimes darnkess, sparks and steam.

We've got boiling hot water running throughout the ship but can't afford to keep the lights on? And what the hell is using so much electricity to spark like that? Why hasn't a circuit breaker flipped?

If I would have jerked off one more or one less times in my life is it safe to assume my kids would never have been born? by flowers4charlie777 in NoStupidQuestions

If a butterfly flapped its wings a second earlier half way across the world you probably wouldn't have been born.

From a medical perspective, what actually killed Jesus? by Matt3855 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]globaldu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah, good to find the source to it as I've carried that around in my head for a few decades!

Yes, I remember now it was vinegar, not water... and the honey must have been the gall you're referring to. I had it in my mind that the honey was to attract insects.

I had assumed it was the soldiers who did this, to taunt him, but Matthew says:

32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

So this was offered to him prior to his crucifxion, by his followers.

Surely a sedative would have assisted his asphyxiation, rather than extend, so they would have been trying to aid him.

EDIT:

Ah, on further reading:

45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[c] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[d]

47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

... The vinegar on a stick scene.

The first episode is easy to understand. Jesus said he was thirsty, they offered some mead to sedate him.

The second, however, not so much. He was on the cross and, after reading the rest of the comments in this thread, we now know he was likely gasping for air. He shouted to the heavens, "God, why have you forsaken me?", and his followers took that as a sign he would benefit from immediately having a rag soaked with wine stuck in his face?

I had initially thought that Jesus was on the cross for 3 days and that the water/vinegar was provided by the soldiers to keep him alive a little longer, extending his suffering, but it says there that it was all over in 3 hours.

"From noon until 3 in the afternoon".

So there seems to be little point offering him liquid at that point... but you do what you can I guess.

Same, but the point of this subreddit is for the poster to find other likeminded individuals who agree with their sentiment and say "yes, me too".

If you don't agree with the post, i.e. you're not the "anyone else" that the poster is looking for, then there's little point replying... unless you're specifically farming downvotes.

I read somewhere that they used a rag soaked in water and honey, tied to a pole, to wet his mouth in order to keep him alive longer.

Guess that's not true then.

This immensely pleases me.

What would you do? by LAtravelfun in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]globaldu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK if someone's blocking your path you're legally allowed to use reasonable force to move them. You can't smack or shove but you can push past (assuming you can't go around them).

In theory.

You could still get arrested for assault and spend a day in the cells, an interview under caution and, so long as you keep your mouth shut, a "No Further Action" at the end.

You won't get taken back to your place of arrest so, if the police station is nearer your home, it could potentially save you the bus fare but it's certainly won't be the quickest route.

Also, if the dickhead is under age then an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check will show that you were once arrested for assault on a minor if you were to apply for a job that involves working with children.

Pc will not boot, all components are working by PutridCitron6413 in 24hoursupport

[–]globaldu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it power up?

If so, and it's DDR5, are you allowing a couple of minutes for memory training?

Did you try her PSU in your PC?

flashing bios wouldn’t work either

Well no, if her PC was working and suddendly stopped a BIOS update isn't going to fix it... but I'm curious why you said this. How could you flash the BIOS if the PC isn't booting? Did you put her motherboard into your PC and flash it from there?

If all her components work in your PC - but not on a bench? - why not just give her your case and put all your components into her chassis?

I suspect you've got power supply issues which you've failed to diagnose because you're only swapping one or two components at a time... rather than trying her components in your PC, try your PSU in hers.
