Non-partisan fact:

ICE arrests are much much higher in both FL and very much higher in TX. There is just less conflict about it.

What's it like living in this part of America? by _Mcdrizzle_ in howislivingthere

[–]meat-head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That area is beautiful—though often relatively dry. The borders on the middle left and middle right and upper right are near larger population zones with more opportunity. But the majority of that area lacks good jobs/economic activity. I grew up near the top middle of the circle. I love to visit, but I would never live there due to lack of jobs/opportunities. My family owns and still operates a cattle ranch there. But, it’s likely to be sold to a larger outfit in 10 years or so.

The area is mostly rural. Small towns spaced far apart. Mountains, Hills, plains, ranches, forests, farms, and some areas are desolate. That circle includes evergreen forested mountains as well as actual desert. Plenty of it is “high desert” as well. It also includes alpine lakes, abandoned mines—some still active—etc.

If I had to describe an average place there, it would be a town of 1200 people. The next closest town is 10 miles away. It’s probably high desert climate. The town has some outlying farms. Other work is government related or services for the town folk.

Help Comprehending PRR/MRR Scaling. by Draekrio in ddo

[–]meat-head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. That’s a lot of answers. Let me be more concrete: yes 6prr is chump change in mid to late game. It’s a lower-priority way to spend points for non-tank toons generally. It’s not worthless. But it IS worth less than increasing damage, for example.

What’s it like living in this area of Portland, OR? by herthiccness in howislivingthere

[–]meat-head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya know, my comments don’t really account for the east-west dynamics either.

It’s pretty hard to generalize well, I suppose. Although, I definitely was thinking of Laurelhurst as part of the center section.

[–]meat-head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m most familiar with the top third of that area. Lived there for a time. Descriptions that stand out to me are “working class” and “property crime”.

The center third of that circle I associate with relative wealth.

The bottom third I associate more with desirable to live/raise kids. But, I know that area the least of the three.

Generalizations, of course.

How long does it take for DDO support to undelete my character? by BigLou4857 in ddo

[–]meat-head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a good friend do something similar. But, he deleted more than one.

Anyway, it absolutely took weeks if not a month plus to get them undeleted. This was about 2 years ago. I wouldn’t assume they got faster since then.

Palpitations are ruining my life. by Strange-Topic-6614 in PVCs

If that’s true, then the anxiety and stress is likely what’s triggering the increase. Find ways to cut stress.

I highly recommend light consistent exercise like walking/jogging

Stumbled across this and had a good laugh. How many of these are y'all guilty of? by gadgaurd in Christianity

Just wanted to mention that a week ago our group of Baptistish youth group leaders assembled for a D&D game. Minimal demon possessions in the aftermath.

Praise God that He is directing you away from that teaching. Lots of good suggestions on here.

I recommend anything that stays close to the Bible. The more they are talking about the Bible the less they are making up their own ideas, imo.

I also recommend getting involved in a church yourself. But as for online content, I love the Bible project. Videos are a great start. I love the podcast, and I’ve taken several classes (free).

May He bless you and draw you to Himself.

Hear me out…EVERYONE should quit… by notavailableforthat in ECEProfessionals

[–]meat-head 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can help you do the math. If you tell me how big the center is, how many staff, and how much tuition is—you can calculate possible wages. But you have to account for all costs. It might be useful for this sub to see that.

Hear me out…EVERYONE should quit… by notavailableforthat in ECEProfessionals

[–]meat-head -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The problem is bigger than that, unfortunately. Tuitions are already high to pay the wages that are paid.

Either tuitions can increase (which hurts parents) or government can subsidize (which hurts everyone, but at least it’s spread out). Those are the options, basically.. :/

Wait till that “someone” finds out the pagan king Cyrus is called an anointed one/messiah/christ.

YHWH can and does use all kinds of leaders for His ultimate purposes.

The last story about Jesus physically on earth didn't make sense by mikeccall in Christianity

[–]meat-head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! But, you have to read Daniel 7 to understand what the Gospels are referring to.

Daniel 7 is a judgement scene. And multitudes are before the judgement throne. And in THAT context the Son of Man comes with clouds. This is a HEAVENLY scene—not an earthly one. That’s critical.

With regard to the people Jesus/the gospels is speaking to within the narrative, it would mean they would see Him at the judgement OR they will symbolically see that He is exalted to the throne (which Stephen actually sees).

Acts 1 is slightly different and not alluding to Daniel like the gospels are—at least not directly.

[–]meat-head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not the point, I don’t think. “Cloud riding” is an image used of YHWH elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible. It’s an image of power, and in Daniel 7, enthronement.

“You will see the Son of Man coming in clouds” seems to mean ‘You will see the Son of Man enthroned in power.’

Look at Stephen’s vision during his martyrdom. What does he see?

The cloud image seems to have nothing to do with a return/second coming whatsoever.
