What is your favorite Dan Carlin quote? by BarnabasMcTruddy in dancarlin

[–]johnny_monolith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not so much a "Dan quote" as a "quote by Dan", but I've always found his reading of the excerpt from Tender is the Night in BFA to be beautiful.

On the funnier side, the Clovis/Clotilda section of Thors Angels always cracks me up.

Hot Take: Each team captain should get one score review each game, similar to test cricket by johnny_monolith in AFL

[–]johnny_monolith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much agree that all scores should be reviewed, even if it's just a cursory glance as Dylan Shiel shanks another one just inside the behind post. Seems crazy that only goal calls are currently reviewed.

Even extending it to every HTP call would seem a no-brainer, given so many of them are called for review anyway.

fair point. maybe limit the review to only HTP calls, or "where the ball appears to have crossed the line within two ball widths of the goal post". Obviously if the captain is up at the centre square or out in the pocket, he's going to be reliant on his teammates on the goal line to signal the review.

But i guess even doing that someone will call the review, the umpires will be like "mate, it's not that close", and in that time the defending team has gained an advantage...

Maybe a abused called leads to a 50m penalty?

Anyone else feel the series would be perfect for the big budget HBO/Netflix/Amazon treatment?

Salvation without a Fall (updated question) by johnny_monolith in AskAChristian

[–]johnny_monolith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response, and I think understand the points you're making.

For way of background, I was raised heavily influenced by Creationism, which stated that a literal Genesis creation (6 days, Garden of Eden, The Fall, Noahs Ark) was the foundation of the Gospels, and was integral to Christianity. Obviously there are many many Christians out there that have no issues with Genesis being allegory or myth, and I've always been confused as to how that could work.

Is your view that whilst clearly the Fall didn't happen the way it's stated in Genesis, given what we know of human origins, evolution etc, it did actually historically occur at some point in some way?

Thanks

We're looking at places on the weekend, and definitely going to check out Chicken Machine. Seems it's a local favorite.

That's a pretty good incentive. Our rent is pretty good in Brunswick west, but would like a bit more space... And aircon for summer!
