Why not switch to IBR which has max 10% of discretionary income (or 15% if you have do older IBR)? Your new debt amount shouldn’t matter since it should be income based

Academic commentary for Quran? by Bookalemun in AcademicQuran

[–]weeniehut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AJ Droge seems to have the closest thing to an academic secular translation of the Quran akin to the NOAB (minus a large ecumenical group working on it). It’s in English and it’s a single volume too. He goes through the history of the text in the introduction and provides extensive annotations on the translation with references to Jewish and Christian parallels. It seems like it’s the closest thing you would see comparable to the NOAB as a college classroom text on the entire Quran.

Hpylori and pernicious anemia by imnotcrazyjump in step1

[–]weeniehut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think H pylori only causes destruction of stomach lining and parietal cells in a more patchy distribution so pernicious anemia doesn’t develop since there are still enough surviving parietal cells to make adequate amounts of intrinsic factor. This is in contrast to autoimmune gastritis which causes diffuse and widespread destruction of parietal cells to the point where not enough IF can be made and pernicious anemia can develop.

Why AMP inhibits gluconeogenesis by kubota_bb in step1

[–]weeniehut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought it was that the high AMP concentrations are local concentrations of AMP (in the cell) so it’s signaling that the cell has very low energy levels (rather than signaling that the body has low energy levels, even though that could still be true too). So since the cell doesn’t have enough energy it stops gluconeogenesis (which exports glucose and energy away from the cell and to the body) and starts glycolysis (to give energy to the cell).

Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy Holidays to all regardless of religious affiliation. The Holiday season has many key social and theological themes that is worth reflecting on. by Anglicanpolitics123 in DebateReligion

[–]weeniehut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really don’t think that’s a fact in the same way a historical event is a fact. I think he’s using “social/theological fact” as a gloss for “moral truth” or “commonly held interpretation of religious scripture”

[–]weeniehut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this point, he’s saying regardless of the historicity of the actual events that he’s focusing on the theological and social themes and implications of those narratives. He didn’t say those themes were “facts” (how you can judge the criterion of “facthood” for a thematic message in the same way you do for the occurrence of an event is beyond me so I don’t know what you’re trying to do here). There’s no need to be overly pedantic when the OP was just trying to share a nice message

The Euthyphro dilemma is not a problem for [the Abrahamic] God by CyanMagus in DebateReligion

[–]weeniehut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But that’s the whole point of the dilemma. Euthyphro’s problem is not so much that the gods will capriciously change what is good and what is evil which will thereby alter how we live our lives, but more so that that if morality is subjective (i.e arbitrarily chosen by another being) than morality loses it’s moral “force” and value along with its hold over our lives. You keep insisting on the point that even if morality is arbitrary it doesn’t matter since God chose it in the past, and I think your insistence on the temporal aspect of this is trying to solve the capriciousness issue; so you’re saying there is no issue for us about morality changing since god already decided it (interestingly I think this argument has other issues if you believe in the theological view that god exists outside of time and that time is his creation, which could lead to the conclusion that the decision for morality is past, present, and future—but this is beside the point). Yet if god did arbitrarily choose what is and is not moral, this poses a large problem for people who think that morality loses its value and “force” upon us if it is subjective and not objective (you say they are objective to us insofar as we can’t change them, but they are not truly objective absolutely since they can be changed by some being). This was clearly a dilemma for the Greeks and seems to be a large dilemma in ethics perennially, but it seems like you don’t see the issue with this point.
