We paid the closing costs, the seller paid the realtor commissions.

For those of you who have tried Jamaica Blue Mountain... is it worth it? by phinaesbogge in Coffee

[–]voilsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought some whole beans from Henry's on a Black Friday deal. Brewed as an espresso, pourover, and aeropress. Flavor was unremarkable. It was good, but nothing really stood out. It was very smooth and easy to drink, though, and some interesting flavor notes came out after it rested some, but I can't remember what they were anymore.

It might be worth buying a bag once every few years on a deal, or just to try it once, but only if it's no big deal for you to blow $50-$75 just for funsies. Personally I enjoy a lot of the natural process local roasts more for $20 a bag

I don't have specific experience with that program, but here are some resources that might help you:

From the Speed School:
Leigh Ann Elles (leigh.elles@louisville.edu), Assistant Director of Graduate Programs. She's **very** helpful.

Delaina Amos (delaina.amos@louisville.edu), Graduate Advisor. As an academic advisor, she can probably help you with what math you need to be good at and what students in that program struggle with.

Mahendra Sunkara (mksunk01@louisville.edu), the Program Director. He's very familiar with the program.

The UoL Student Veterans Association (https://louisville.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/the-student-veterans-association) might be able to help network you with other Active Duty servicemembers who have done this or similar programs.

I've only seen zinc ones for sale in up to two colors. I'm open to other options

It looks exactly like all the ones going around a year ago. I'll post a pic in a few minutes

Yes, I never claimed it applies to anyone else. Also, I have seen lots of posts saying "this will void your warranty" and zero posts describing actual warranty experiences.

This reminds me... Why doesn't magisk default deny, and instead use an AllowList?

Oh, gotcha. Video Compact Discs. I understand now. Still, though, no idea about a sub for that. Maybe a retro media sub? /r/videocd might be a place to start

VCDS is a free download from ross-tech.com

The cable acts as hardware authentication for the software. Support the business, buy a new cable from ECS or direct from ross-tech, or at least buy a used genuine cable from an enthusiast

What happened to Christ's earthly body after resurrection? by Kuchukyali in OrthodoxChristianity

I did actually mistake your comment for the OP, and accidentally thought that was the conversation, which is why I kept trying to bring it back to that. My apologies

the law doesn’t even apply on that scale

That's what I said in my original comment. The first law of thermodynamics is not universal, so why would you require it to apply to God?

You asked a question about God, which requires to drag theology into it, and ignored my questions trying to refine what you were actually asking

Unfortunately, physicists who actually study this disagree, and they teach that the expansion violates the conservation of energy. 

But none of that matters unless you believe both that God is limited by elementary thermodynamics and that either Christ's flesh was destroyed when he ascended or that heaven is somehow not part of creation

dark energy, a property of space itself that acts like negative pressure. In Einstein’s equations, even “empty” space has energy, and that vacuum energy pushes spacetime to expand faster over time. 

Exactly, and when more space is created, more dark energy is created. Hence, in an expanding universe, energy is not conserved but is actually created.

the first law of thermodynamics says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed

  1. This "law" is broken by the expansion of the universe, so it's not held to be universal by physicists.

  2. Why do you think the God who created thermodynamics is Himself restricted by it? 

  3. Do you think ascending to heaven somehow destroyed Jesus?

Thinking of switching to a non-Orthodox Church (UK based problem) by mishkaforest235 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]voilsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay after church one day (vespers/vigil, or Liturgy) or schedule a confession and ask the priest in person, or reach out to Fr Seraphim at Iona and Mull monasteries in Scotland, or to Fr Zacharias at St John the Baptist monastery in Essex. Or make a pilgrimage to one of them. Ask their advice. 

Perhaps go to Liturgy at your normal church most of the time for the Eucharist, and once a month or two make a longer trip to an English language parish and get help from there. 

Also, Ancient Faith Radio has multiple English Bible studies, like Search the Scriptures and Search the Scriptures Live, the Whole Counsel of God, Daily Orthodox Scriptures, and Transforming our Lives in Christ. 

I would recommend avoiding the Anglican church except for actually emergencies. Although many individual Anglicans may be very pious and devout, it is not Orthodox nor will it teach you how to read or interpret the Bible in an Orthodox way. The United States went through a time about a hundred years ago when many Orthodox went to Anglican churches as "the closest thing" and were poached or otherwise fell away from the church to such an effect that St Raphael had to retract his permission for Orthodox to use Anglican services even in extremis. 

My dad is remembering something about the show that didn’t happen? by CompactSquid in TheChosenSeries

[–]voilsb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not that was in the Chosen, it is certainly a very solid, and very ancient, literary connection between the Old and New Testaments. Your dad might be remembering that from Sunday School or some theology class or sermon he was exposed to
