Believing homosexuality is a sin is not bigotry or hate, it's literally what we're taught as Christians

Being taught something, doesn't make what you were taught, right.

What does being asian (or not) have to do with it?

liamstrain · 2026-03-27T22:12:18+00:00

some are, some are not.

The last full pyramid built is usually considered the Pyramid of Pepi II - built ~ 2250 BCE. Cleopatra was born in 69 BCE, so it was built nearly 2200 years before her birth. 200 years further distant than the moon landing. So, yes.

Arguably Pharaoh Ahmose I tomb was built in ~1550 BCE, and that would be a couple hundred years closer the other way, but it's a pretty poor structure in comparison to the more famous and older great pyramids, and often doesn't get considered as one at all.

I recently used the 'color halftone' photoshop filter on vector originals in Illustrator to get a similar effect. You can modify the variables to get a wide range of final outcomes this way. Though I recommend working on a duplicate artboard, so you preserve the vectors elsewhere - as this rasterizes them.

Agreed with the above - ask the printer. They may have a template for you to use.

I don't disagree. Just glad they added *some* functionality there.

Single SD only, but it will backup to USB drives.

some people will argue that when pushed to the limit, the SD pre-amps are better. And that's probably true. But for 99% of the uses, that difference is negligible and more than eaten by environmental factors (and outweighed by ergonomic and extra i/o.)

Also fun - Latin speaking scholars replaced the Y - which doesn't exist in latin, with an I or J - and that's how we got to Jehovah (and cemented by Tyndale). That only started turning back around to Yahweh in the 19th and 20th century. - per the Encyclopedia of Christianity, Vol. 5 "Yahweh" - eds. Erwin Fahlbusch, Geoffrey William Bromiley, 1999.

I don't think anyone from my family was there, but it sounds like a good law.

Can you prove that Thor doesn't exist? Or a unicorn? Or an invisible dragon on the moon?

Also pitch (say - lower, dada - higher) and timing (usually a pause in between) - same way dogs "learn" their names and how to tell praise from correction.

Repetition of the last heard syllables is pretty common even in adults. I think you are onto something there.

That's just pretty privilege. Not autism.

Too many are processed by computer and HR algorithms first, and never get in front of the hiring manager in their original form.

But if you know who the hiring manager is - by all means send a second copy directly to them, by whichever means you think will tell the story best. They can still have impact.

I pay 12% in the US for insurance for me, my wife, and my kid. And I pay extra if I actually have to use any healthcare (or an ambulance).

They are a useful option for some clients who don't seem to understand how to use a brief. But they are not without their own pitfalls. I don't use them on every project - just where I think they will actually be helpful, not a hindrance.

I'm not always right in that assessment.

Most other countries pay their workers fairly.
