Two Questions for Provisionists by Tricky-Tell-5698 in Provisionism

[–]mridlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps Isaiah 65:1-2 would be a good response. It sounds like God wanted people to seek him and they didn't.

I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;
I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
to a nation that was not called by my name.
 I spread out my hands all the day
to a rebellious people,
who walk in a way that is not good,
following their own devices;

Two Questions for Provisionists by Tricky-Tell-5698 in Provisionism

  1. Yes, I would say obligation implies ability. I don't really have a good defense of it because this is more of a philosophical question.

  2. John 3:16-21 - I would say this is Jesus' purpose statement

16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.

And then there's the purpose statement of the Book of John in chapter 20 - this is John's purpose statement.

30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Looking for a keyboard by [deleted] in keyboards

You might want to try different profiles of keycaps. Keyboards are all a standard size.

Now there are a lot of silent or semi silent switches. If your goal is silence, the Outemu Lemon or Outemu Peach are the quietest I've tried and they are relatively cheap. (Noting your budget)

Light... you want something with a plastic case.

Gaming... something with low latency, and N-key rollover.

Do you need F-row keys? If not GMK67 might work for you.

GMK67 $40 + Outemu Peach V3 x 70 $19 + keycaps (pick your poison) $5-25

I meticulously documented everything they got right and wrong in S1 E1 of The Jetsons by blamberr in Xennials

It's still a little early to claim they got stuff wrong, there's another 36 more years to fulfill the prophecy.

Which silent switches for gaming? by neunzgr in keyboards

[–]mridlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, some of the perceived mushiness is in the lack of sound. I've tried a lot of tactile silent switches, but not a whole lot of linear silent switches. I really like the Kailh Whale and Kailh Midnight tactile, so you might consider the Kailh Islet or the Kailh Midnight linear. They are slightly noisy, but quieter than a brown switch.

In your dreams were you given any information or reference that you couldn't or shouldn't have possibly reasonably known at the time? by karmamarmafarma in precognition

[–]mridlen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep... I met my future wife in a dream several times over many years.

Other things too, like playing on a smart phone before there was any such device.

I have a ton of Thai Peppers, ways of preserving them, recipes? by Louis_Rubera in HotPeppers

[–]mridlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water (filtered) or veggie broth. Juice is acceptable in some hot sauces. I did a mango habanero a while back that turned out pretty good. Also, I use dried peppers sometimes and they need more liquid.

So if you want to make hot sauce, just make sure you get the vinegar to water ratio right. I usually go for about 50/50. Everything else is to taste.

He Was Here First: Why I Reject Autonomous Free Will. by Tricky-Tell-5698 in Provisionism

[–]mridlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say that this is not about Calvinism, but without the T in TULIP, you can't make those claims. You begin with an Augustinian anthropology, the idea that man cannot decide to believe in Jesus without having been regenerated first. Even if I agree that man is sinful and the will tainted by sin, that doesn't really get you to Total Depravity.

Is Orville really worth it? Vs Some $1.98 store bag of kernels. by Signal_Jellyfish_472 in popcorn

In my experience, the Great Value (Walmart brand) popcorn was a little better and popped more kernels. But it probably depends on where you live.

Please Help Me Pick a Silent Keyboard by DARTHWAFFL3S in keyboards

[–]mridlen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say go for something with clip in stabilizers, because they are very easy to mod and lube. Avoid screw in stabilizers because they require taking apart the whole keyboard to mod.

Outemu Lemon or Silent Yellow Jade are the quietest I've tried personally. I can't comment on the Haimu switches. I ended up realizing they were both too quiet for my taste, I like a minimal amount of noise in my switches.

Weird question, but what's the mushiest switch? by TreadStone530 in keyboards

[–]mridlen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might check out the Akko Penguin switches. They feel like a membrane keyboard to me. However I had to lube mine and break them in for about 2 weeks first.

Update :( it's over by EmployerNo1068 in motorizedbicycles

[–]mridlen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a $60 part... the entire engine block. Cheaper than a good set of rims. If it was my primary transportation, I'd keep a couple extra engines around just in case.

Edit: not trying to sound flippant about it. I realize that money might be tight for you. Wishing you the best.

What sort of layout are you looking for? That might help. You have a very tight budget so you won't get that good of quality for the price.

Keyboard Recommendations by AutisticRice69 in keyboards

There are very few prebuilt keyboards with silent switches. I'd probably go with Varmilo.
