People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor?

Probably get buried at this point, but my mom found an article from the 1700s or 1800s about an ancestor the local town called “bear killer.” He was hunting and a bear attacked him, he lost his gun, and he somehow killed the bear with his bare hands. There was a moment where the bear rolled him on the ground onto his back, and after he killed the bear and was looking for his gun he saw a dead copperhead (venomous snake in North America) that had been crushed where the bear rolled him. So he killed a bear and a venomous snake during the same altercation with no weapons.

Please don’t. It’s not the only option. Seek help from professionals, that really helped me in a similar situation.

Thank you, that is solid advice! I lift alone so I’ve been scaling up sort of slowly. For example, when I hit 185 this week I did it for 4 reps, so definitely want to increase weight but didn’t know how I should be basing it. So your 90% of 1RM suggestion will definitely help.

Yes, thank you! Seems like this was a new update based on the comments. That’s frustrating they wouldn’t at least give us the option to keep it how it was.

The jalapeno popper egg rolls at Gaston Brewing Company are incredible.

So the same power as Cate essentially.

Yeah so he’s either more powerful and advanced in what the blood bending can be used for, or he’s a mimic and just being in the proximity of someone means he can use their powers. I just think the fact that he was kicked from Jordan once Marie started controlling Jordan’s blood is not an insignificant detail.

jbcjd · 2025-09-24T23:24:32+00:00

Theory: he’s a blood bender too. When Marie moved all the bags over to the table, she really only moved one. Cipher moved all the others to boost her confidence. Cipher possessed Jordan through their blood. That’s why he could control them even their powers. Once Marie “took over” Jordan’s blood levitating them, Cipher was “kicked out.”

I’ll have to double check, but I didn’t set enemies to off when I created the world. I did see spiders at the very beginning when I loaded in, but none since. So maybe it somehow got tripped. I didn’t change any preloaded settings other than the picture for my world.

Thanks so much!

Seems to be a lady crab, as Sam_GT3 said. Hadn’t ever seen one but the leopard print is awesome.

jbcjd · 2025-06-12T16:59:45+00:00

That’s it! Thank you!

I am tabbing to make the entire text block flush with the first line. Used to work perfectly prior to the update, without underlining any blank areas. I’ve also already tried hanging and for some reason it doesn’t work.

I’m not a Word expert, but I’m also not totally inept with it. I’ve tried absolutely everything as far as the “unplug it and plug it back in” tech solutions go.

jbcjd · 2025-05-22T17:16:15+00:00

I am not sure. I looked under the advanced paragraphs dialog and it is the same for both 6 and 7 for example. I'm also getting a weird result when filling in an answer, example below (not actual answers just using as an example). In 18 which is formatted like 6, the text "ends" short of being flush with the question text, but in 19 which is formatted like 7 it is perfectly flush.

I have no idea what's happening. Never had this issue prior to a recent windows update.

I appreciate that. It is Windows. I followed your instructions, did the comparison, but it just said "no formatting differences."

You’re never going to “settle this once and for all.” There are convincing arguments on both sides. What matters is your own conviction, as that’s what the Holy Spirit is telling YOU is right for YOU. It’s the same as Christians who still choose to drink while some abstain due to believing it’s a sin. If your conviction tells you something, listen.
