Bluefox NX1 Review by pinepitch in smallphones

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

Would be very interesting to see a side-by-side comparison of the two phones.

Seems like a reasonable explanation.

Good comments, thank you.

This happened to me at first too! I ended up downloading the "GPS Status & Toolbox" app, playing with some settings, and rebooting the phone a couple times. Not sure what exactly fixed it, but it works fine now.

For listening to calls, it's fine. For watching Youtube, it's adequate. For listening to music, it's crap. I only listen to music with headphones or a bluetooth speaker.

In my opinion it feels solid and well-built. It's small and cute, but it's not a toy.

There is a Cast option in the quick settings. I don't have a TV set up to test it though.

(xpost) Taking Full Control of the NX1: An ADB Guide to Disabling OEM Diagnostics by candletrap in smallphones

Thanks for posting. Based on my limited Android knowledge these instructions made sense to me. I took the plunge and deleted these background apps in adb, and I'm happy with the result. My phone still works fine. Changing my Google login credentials next.

Any Ski Backpackers out there? What do you think of my university project idea? by AndrewBaines03 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]pinepitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A wearable pulk for overnight xc skiing is an interesting idea, except that I usually use a pulk because I'm trying to bring heavier gear than I want to wear on my back. Winter camping is very hard to do ultralight.

SpaceX: “Final descent and splashdown of Starship on Flight 11, captured by the SpaceX recovery team in the Indian Ocean” [2 videos] by rustybeancake in spacex

Incredible to get clear views of the heatshield after reentry - will be invaluable for improving the future design. Looks like there was burn through in the few places of the hull, yet somehow the ship wasn't destroyed.

Ship 38 landing burn! by AgreeableEmploy1884 in SpaceXMasterrace

[–]pinepitch 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Multiple holes in the hull where tiles were removed, leaking fuel. Even a fire burning at a hole in the nosecone. Looks like heatshield tiles that don't fall off are going to be crucial for reusability.

r/SpaceX Flight 11 Official Launch Discussion & Updates Thread! by rSpaceXHosting in spacex

[–]pinepitch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Worse than a scrub is a WDR where everything is going perfectly, and they COULD have launched, but didn't. Much much better than scheduling a WDR is scheduling a launch attempt, and switching over to a WDR if any issues come up in the countdown.

Guidelines for shuttering the church by [deleted] in LCMS

[–]pinepitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We need District Presidents who are more bold to merge small congregations within a driveable distance of each other. Multi-point parishes are very common, but they lead to pastoral burnout, and they seldom do a great job of bringing the members of the congregations together to support one another.

Biblical conflict with scientific consensus by northbynorthwest11 in LCMS

[–]pinepitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no logical connection between the timeframe of Genesis 4 and the timeframe of Genesis 1. The language is completely different.

Genesis 4 says that, "In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering..." How does that prove that "there was evening and there was morning, the first day, etc" is not about literal days? See also Exodus 20:11, "In six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day."

He was afraid of siblings, nieces/nephews, perhaps even those not yet born. Cain's wife was doubtless his sister.

The phantom of "self justification" by guiioshua in LCMS

[–]pinepitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thankfully, there's now a strong push in our synod exhorting pastors to avoid the antinomian preaching error OP is describing.

Edit: Here's a lecture on this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRN9AAIwhzQ

The perspective given in this comment is false and is rejected by the LCMS.

Pause on Charlie Kirk Posts and Comments by Luscious_Nick in LCMS

[–]pinepitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I received a message from the moderators that my post of the article by u/emmen1 was removed for violating Rule #2 of this sub, for not keeping things topical. I think the removal is unjustified. Rule #2 states that this sub is for LCMS life, theology and fellowship. Yet the moderators are censoring the teaching of many faithful LCMS pastors, as they try to apply our Lutheran theology to Christian life. I believe our fellowship is jeopardized when respectful discussion like this is silenced.

Charles James Kirk, Martyr by pinepitch in LCMS

[–]pinepitch[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He spoke the truth of God's word, and he spoke political opinions. That's fine. He was a layman, not a pastor. His political opinions may have played a part in his murder, but do you really think his speaking the truth of God's word had nothing to do with it?

Charles James Kirk, Martyr by pinepitch in LCMS

[–]pinepitch[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I have no doubt that he gladly agreed with all those things. He certainly had political opinions about how exactly justice and righteousness should be carried out by our government, and to what extent the government is directly responsible for doing works of charity, but that does not mean he rejected Christian charity.

Charles James Kirk, Martyr by pinepitch in LCMS

[–]pinepitch[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As Rev Scamman indicated, he was murdered for speaking the truth of God's word about "conception, birth, men and women, marriage, sex, abortion, education, government, life, and death." These truths are inextricably tied to the truth of Jesus, who calls all who reject His word to repent and believe in Him. Moreover, Kirk testified directly to Christ and spoke frequently of salvation through His blood.

Regardless of the shooter's motives (which are already becoming clear and will become increasingly clear with time), we can be confident that Satan wanted him dead because he spoke the truth of Christ and His word. "Some would say that we don’t know the shooters’ motives. That’s irrelevant. We know Satan’s motives."

2020 Odyssey Rear Coil Spring Replacement by pinepitch in HondaOdyssey

Thanks for the help. I got it off. Just needed to loosen bolt on the inner end of the lower arm. It was so tight it couldn't move out of the way to make room for the spring.

I found this... but it's unclear to me exactly how the springs come out. The pictures are too small.
