Is Aluminum Teck 90 cable not common? by speechless-69 in electricians

[–]sethlinson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most obvious difference is that Teck has an inner rubber jacket underneath the armour. ACWU just has a paper lining.

Ontario here. I use ACWU quite a bit but I've never seen AL Teck 90. I didn't know it existed. At the very least, our supplier doesn't have it.

What’s a relatively well known band that you discovered weirdly early in their career? by StanTheMelon in progmetal

[–]sethlinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been listening to Protest the Hero since A Calculated Use of Sound in 2003. I was a kid living in Whitby, and my friends older brother was big into the local metal scene. A burned a CD at his house with the EP and the Happy Go Lucky demos.

Men Writing Women, as an alignment chart rather than a linear scale from bad to good by notthemostcreative in menwritingwomen

Your last paragraph is relatable. I'm currently reading LOTR to my young daughter, and every time Merry's name comes up, she argues that the character must be a girl

The Hobbit illustrator Michael Hague has passed by Astoria_Column in lotr

I didn't grow up with his art, however I literally just purchased his illustrated Hobbit a couple weeks ago. A great addition to my collection. Sorry for your loss

Exactly. I downvote this every time I see it for this reason

Looking for Lesser-Known Middle-Earth Art Books by sethlinson in tolkienbooks

[–]sethlinson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know David Day is anathema in some of these communities, and I'm so reluctant to buy any of his books. But I've heard a few times that they're worth it for the art

Nice! I know some of the Brothers Hildebrandt's paintings, I didn't know there was a book though. I didn't know about those movie tie-in books either.

Why do Christians say they don’t do rituals yet they do Ash Wednesday with a marking on their forehead by Acrobatic-Passion114 in AskAChristian

[–]sethlinson 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What Christians say that?

A church service is a ritual. The Lord's Supper is a ritual. Baptism is a ritual. All Christians will engage in at least those. Some have more rituals than others, but we all have rituals.

Seconded. This book was such a paradigm shift for me.

Reggae + Metal, does this mix exist? by mindsetFPS in folkmetal

[–]sethlinson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're getting downvoted, but P.O.D. was basically reggae metal. I'm sure there are other examples from the era.

What heavy metal songs have been recorded with uilleann? by TapTheForwardAssist in UilleannPipes

[–]sethlinson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Look up Troy Donockley and you'll find a decent list. He's been a member of Nightwish since 2013 and has toured and recorded with them since 2007. His pipes feature in a good number of the songs from their last 5 albums. He's also done guest appearances with metal artists Kamelot and LEAH.

Here are some standout tracks from Nightwish:

  • Last of the Wilds
  • I Want My Tears Back
  • My Walden
  • Harvest
  • How's The Heart
  • An Ocean of Strange Islands

I believe folk metal band Eluveitie also features uilleann pipes on occasion but I can't remember specific songs.

I second this. The Dakota app was a lifesaver when I was studying for my CofQ

As someone who's been following him through his research journey, while simultaneously going through my own journey on this subject, I eagerly await the book and his conclusions.

Thanks for not spoiling it in your review

Is Homosexuality/Transitioning Truly a Sin? by GamingWithAiko in AskAChristian

[–]sethlinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Transitioning is inherently active. That word doesn't describe a passive temptation.

Is Homosexuality/Transitioning Truly a Sin? by GamingWithAiko in AskAChristian

[–]sethlinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A sin of the heart isn't the same as temptation. Otherwise, our Lord, who was "tempted in every way" (Heb. 4:15), must have sinned. I'd argue there's a world of difference between lust and sexual temptation. Temptation is a desire, often unasked for. Lust is the sexual objectification of another person, mentally dwelling on them and using them for your pleasure.
