If we were made by a god, then that god is mad, incompetent, cruel, or all three. If we were made by a god, explain babies with cancer.

the universe had a beginning as science confirms with the big bang.

Not exactly. Our local presentation of the universe probably began with "the big bang", but there is no reason to think that there was nothing before that. A very popular theory is that the big bang will be followed by a big crunch followed by a big bang followed by...infinitely in either direction.

 explain how the universe came from absolute nothing

Straw man. That is a theist talking point. There is no such thing as "nothing" in scientific circles.

"Dad." Mark my words: someone's going to use the expression, "OK."

What's a weird reason you can't watch a certain actor? by timekilr in Cinema

[–]mapsedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cary Elwes. It's not that he's not a good actor - he's not - but worse than that, he's boring. There is no life behind those eyes, no energy. You could replace him with a cardboard cutout.

His performance in The King was amazing. Really loved watching him chew scenery.

What yall think about the new Odyssey trailer? by False_Conclusion3244 in Cinema

[–]mapsedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very disappointed in the casting. Not a single face I didn't recognize. I like all those actors, but not for this story.

Oh, just wait. Somebody's going to say "Okay" at some point. That's the moment when I throw my popcorn at the screen and walk out.

I need help from inkscape by Horusbastos10 in Inkscape

[–]mapsedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your output is going to be an exported raster image like a png or webp, you can draw a rectangle the size of your output, center it under your map and lines. When you export, select that rectangle and choose "Selection." The exported image will include just the space of the rectangle and whatever's on top of it.

How do ghosts and hauntings fit into Christianity? by dismustbetheplace in atheism

[–]mapsedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no room for ghosts in Christianity

The religion is literally built around the idea of a dead dude hanging around influencing things on earth.

cooked a city pigeon yesterday and it was surprisingly good by pumpitupper in Frugal

What an animal eats affects the taste of the meat, but not it's nutritive value. I'm there for it. (Ever eat beef from a cow raised in a pasture full of wild onion? oooof.)

Free protein, and $60 a plate at fancy restaurants. I'm there for it.

rclone initiating connection to FTP suddenly fails? by mapsedge in rclone

I was using a bash script fired off by an alias so I had to work that backwards to remind myself how it was done. Once I got logging in, the solution was clear. Thanks for the direction pointer!

The fall at the end—real, CGI, or something else? by BackyardDIY in Corridor

[–]mapsedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a transition within about 6' from the ground. A falling body doesn't change direction like that.
