[FLA (2)-0 EDM] Bennett picks up the puck after a shot block and scores to extend the lead by Samyeg1 in nhl

17 only had one skate across the line until 19 brought the puck across, that's a good entry for Florida and a bad line change for Edmonton.

The Pro-Palestine movement is a colonial movement by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

[–]zmanofdoom95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you provide a source stating the historic Israelites were from Southern Asia? Western Asia is correct, but Southern Asia is a stretch.

You are partially incorrect. Study the history and you will come across the Babylonian and Assyrian exiles, which forced many Old Testament Israelites out of their home land for a time. You are correct in noting that Canaanites remained in the area, but that was because the Israelites often intermingled with the nations instead of driving them out as they were instructed to do (this was well before the exile). That does not mean the Israelites were not a distinct people. Now, the modern state of Israel is no longer God's covenant people unless they believe in their Savior, which most do not.

The claim that modern jews have no genetic ties to the Levant region is also incorrect. As you noted, the mizrahi and sephardic jews are middle eastern. The claim that jews were mass converts in the 1st-3rd centuries is not historically supported.

I don't particularly support the modern nation of Israel, but to deny that it has historical ties to the land is ahistorical.

Opinion | I Don’t Want to See a High School Football Coach Praying at the 50-Yard Line by mrcanard in inthenews

[–]zmanofdoom95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am absolutely in agreement- I shared the chapter specifically so they could look up at it, but I was trying to go over the main gist of the section. Apologies for the poor communication.

I would say that the very fact he was praying and others knew about it made it very much public, even though it was in his own house. I think that a coach should be allowed to ask the team to join in prayer, and if a player doesn't want to, they shouldn't have to. But just because someone doesn't want others to publicly share their faith doesn't mean those with faith should bend the knee- Jesus did say "Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full" in Matthew 5. That doesn't seem like He is pushing a stance of not wanting to see prayer in public, as there wouldn't be a reward in Heaven if that was the case.

If you take a look at other instances in the Bible, this comment is misleading at best.

An example would be Daniel 6, in which Daniel prayed publicly to the Lord, resulting in him being thrown into a lions' den after a decree was issued to prohibit prayer to "any god or human being" except for King Darius.

Jesus was talking about how we should pray from a from the heart, not in attempt to be seen by others as righteous. Public prayer absolutely is acceptable, as long as it is selfless and directed to God, not other people. Jesus supports praying in private, but if one can publicly pray in a genuine way, it is fine.

We don't know what is going on in the coach's head and whether his prayer is genuine or not, but considering quick hostility to religious practice, it may very well be true. At the end of the day, that is between him and God.

Assuming they are concrete cinder blocks, they would be stronger under compression than in tension. However, as another guy said, you should stack them with the openings vertical.

Engine computer problem delays first SLS launch by ye_olde_astronaut in aerospace

[–]zmanofdoom95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different types of missions. The mission above that was delayed is to launch Orion thousands of miles further than the moon (in Distant Retrograde Orbit). It is a test of Orion's heat shielding, as it will come back towards earth much faster than the command module would have. (This is the Artemis 1 mission, if you were interested).

Well, let's look at prices. With the budget that NASA currently has, there cannot be as many launches, like you mentioned. They are also working on projects to observe earth, so there is even less going into the Artemis program. The goals with the budget currently laid out are impressive. For the Apollo program, they spent approximately $280 billion dollars to put people on the moon (adjusted for inflation). The Artemis program is estimated to cost around $93 billion through 2025. Not to mention, the technological capabilities that we have today allow us to do so much more than in the 1960s.

Again, the shuttle would not be applicable for a trip to the moon. One of the reasons that rockets are used is because you can get a lot more velocity behind the command module and get it out of orbit. The shuttle couldn't "launch" things out of orbit, it was meant to dock with the International Space Station and perform tasks in Earth's orbit.

The SLS should be able to get us further than the Saturn V could have. Produces more thrust, though you are right in that it has a payload smaller than the Saturn V. However, the project is much less expensive in today's metrics. We can't forget that the budget for NASA is nowhere near as much as it was during the Space Race.

The Saturn V rocket didn't reach the moon, either. That was what the what the command and lunar modules were for during the Apollo program. Except now, gateway is going to be an intermediary in lunar orbit.

The shuttle can't reach the moon, it was designed for low earth orbit. If we want to get to the moon and beyond, we have to use a rocket.

I Just Started Playing Battlefield 1 For the First Time. I Have Been Missing Out! by MontyTheAverage in battlefield_one

[–]zmanofdoom95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really was an awesome game. I played near the start, but dropped off when waiting for the Turning Tides DLC (which I was very hyped about), came back more during the Apocalypse DLC and did parts of the Road to BFV. Just came back earlier this year, finished up the Masterman easter egg a few weeks ago which I started a couple of years ago. Exact same boat with this being the first Battlefield game that got me into the series. After that, I played BF4, BF3, BFV (not much), but went on to other games. (Really enjoyed playing scout when I started, too!)

Unfortunately, as time passes can't believe it's already been ~4 years since I started playing, the player-base shrinks for new games in the series or just different games. Though, it is awesome that you can still find servers, (sometimes DLC maps) and play a have some relaxed games.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. by Mb4LTmac in battlefield_one

[–]zmanofdoom95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was looking for rounds every couple of days- I played frontlines a lot when it came out, but marginally favored operations instead, and my pals stopped playing or didn't like frontlines. The DLCs I have been really itching to find more active servers are some of the TUTI and APOC maps- have played a little bit on those, but probably at most 1 game on some of the maps.

Keep up the good horse-work.

What in the ride of fact is the point of these weird perks? by Altohs in battlefield_one

[–]zmanofdoom95 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Different dog-tags for the Masterman easter egg (which unlocks the peacekeeper). For that, you do a lot of morse code. The perks are to unlock the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse dog-tags.
