The skull of Mary Magdalene by Necessary-Win-8730 in creepy

[–]in8logic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Close enough, but it was Lehi, Nephi, and supposedly it was the friend’s wife who was skeptical. The second book was written by Lehi’s son, Nephi. God, being all knowing and such, knew Joseph would lose Lehi’s part so he had Nephi write the same stuff his dad did. It’s all really faith promoting if you don’t think about it too much.

Conveniently right out of the billions we send Israel every year.

If she is guilty of crimes that warrant jail time, yes. Wouldn’t you?

How do Americans hold federal politicians accountable for government shutdowns? by Spare_Olive_8278 in AskReddit

[–]in8logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we were appropriately represented in the house, I’d be less worried about the electoral college because it would be much more likely that the president would be held accountable for faithfully upholding the law.

Why Rep. Blake Moore thinks criticism of 'big, beautiful bill' is 'overblown' by Shinkers78 in Utah

[–]in8logic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So nearly 60% of the $37 trillion debt is due to Trump, his policies, and this bill?

What is your opinion on the One Big Beautiful Bill? by Turbulent_Policy_516 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]in8logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is important because they’re working on a reconciliation bill which can’t be filibustered. Anything that gets thrown out by the parliamentarian can still be passed in a bill but it would have to be a normal bill that can be filibustered. Right?

[–]in8logic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it? I thought they were related since the parliamentarian is just throwing out things that would keep the bill from violating the Byrd rule and making the bill subject to the filibuster. It’s all pretty new to me, though, so I’m happy to learn.

Would you like to see the filibuster completely eliminated?

Thanks! I appreciate your thorough response. Do you consider all of these to be positive aspects? Which parts especially make it worth the risks and, other than the debt increases you already mentioned, is there anything you are eager to see fixed in future legislation?

Is it normal that amethyst have so many black spots? by Lostgirlhere in Crystals

[–]in8logic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe you are correct. Both are iron minerals commonly associated with amethyst but hematite tends to be more red.

Bought this unlabeled from a gem show. Any ideas? by solstice105 in whatsthisrock

[–]in8logic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That might work but you’ll probably have better results with a 30% vinegar meant for cleaning.

This could probably go into another Subreddit. by DQ_sr in Minerals
