I can accept metaphorical truths, but I'd argue that any resemblance of them is coincidental.

There is so much redundant or unnecessary nonsense in the bible, that some of it is bound to line up with some fundamental truth farther down the path of knowledge.

Obviously, whoever wrote genesis was not aware of evolution, and I'm not implying that you are proposing this insinuation as an explanation (it's just an example of what I mean).

Regardless of being unable to un-knowledge ourselves, one of the things I was pointing at was the absurdity of free-will as a concept.

God is supposedly omniscient, he knows the test will fail.

If you want to get metaphorical on that, you could probably spin it in some pretty weird ways.

Regardless, Christians cannot reconcile the literal claim that God is all-knowing from the notion of free-will.

Let's break this down further because the Garden of Eden is fucking weird.

So God has these two people he keeps as naked pets in a garden. He watches them every second of every day.

God tells these people "eat as much fruit as you want, but don't eat the fruit from that tree, or you'll die."

One day a snake tells Eve "God is lying to you, the fruit will make you smart; God wants you to be unquestioning and stupid."

So Eve eats, and realises she's part of some weird nudity cult where she was lied to and taught that the truth is dangerous.

She makes Adam eat and God, (who can see the future by the way) says "you failed my test, despite creating the conditions in which I knew would cause you to fail. Why couldn't you just have just accepted my lies and remained idiots? This is your fault"

Watch me not give a fuck 6.5x faster.

Charging is hit or miss for me, my USB-A > USB-C outlets are silent, but I can hear the buzz from USB-C > USB-C

A double blind would mean no results are discovered lol.

A single blind test would be fine.

~~And yes, I've done this. I've turned away from a device, and my partner either toggled a switch powering thw device, or a switch which wasn't connected to anything.~~

Perfect accuracy.

Edit: I replied when i first woke up. I didn't read carefully.

Neat experiment idea but I don't have a tools for that lol.

If I ever do, I'll pin this message and reply to it :p

It's without a doubt the LED's themselves. Moving closer to the exact location of the LED confirms it.

For some cheap products, I've physically cut one side of the LED pin to shut it up, and the buzzing stops.

Though technically it could be the sound of a capacitor charging/discharging or the resistors, not exactly sure on the exact mechanism, but it's at the very least something on the LED circuit.

Fun fact: instead of going invisible, you can mark games as private.

They won't show up as recently played, on your profile, and other people won't see you're in-game, but at least you're not announcing to the world what you're doing.

Conversely, if you're annoyed by others, you can turn those notifications off.

Count your lucky stars you cannot hear LED's.

I can. My hearing is extremely sensitive.

I've gone through the effort to set up smart plugs for most of my devices, to turn off automatically, for no other reason than eliminating the buzz.

"I need a yes or a no"

"I said what I said"

What a piece of shit, she has the gall to accuse the reporter of trashing her, yet she lies by obfuscation, and condescends to her.

And Hanson wonders why the reporter has a chip on her shoulder?

I basically did this once.

Except it wasn't alcohol, it was molly.

The date was going poorly, because we were on different levels.

She said I was being egotistical, I apologised and told her I was ballin.

This was hilarious apparently, the date went smooth afterwards.

Shit's fakked

 

Obviously we don't eat products which are the result of non-human animal exploitation, but are you willing to:

  • Buy "vegan" products made using the same manufacturing equipment? (Conveyer belts for example, resulting in near certain contamination).
  • Buy vegan products made by the same company which produces non-vegan products? (Buying fries from McDonalds, resulting in more capital for McD's exploitation).
  • Buy vegan products from non-vegan grocery stores? (Pretty hard to avoid for most people, especially those on low income).

Curious to know where everyone stands on this.

I remember at the time, lots of people being on the fence and didn't know what to believe.

Where do you land now, after all this time?

 

I fucking hate DST. It's like dog diarrhoea splashed over a fat girls tiddies.

I know a lot of people hate it, surely it's time for this moronic practice to end.

So who do I email about this? Is it my MP?

 

Also, why?

Banned shows:

  • Paw Patrol - Seems soulless, I haven't watched much, but there seems something very wrong about it. Intuitively, I feel like my kid shouldn't watch it (though, I can could be convinced I'm wrong, if I am)
  • Cocomelon - objectively soulless - don't try to convince me that this show is anything but toddler crack.

Approved:

  • Sesame Street
  • Bluey

Both of the above shows seem to me like they are made with care and have the best interests to teaching children good morals and language skills.

 

The city I live in, Port Macquarie, has awful cell phone reception basically everywhere (I'm on the Vodafone network).

Is this something I can bring up with the local council, or elected representative?

I can't believe I live in a city of 50,000 people and I'm unable to receive phone calls from my house.

 

Does HoYo ever repeat these kind of events, or is it unlikely that I'll ever get this lightcone?

 

I'm having trouble understanding all the benefits of BTRFS and how they'll apply to me.

Copy on Write and auto-compression seem like they will free up a bit of space.

What other practical benefits will I see from using BTRFS? Are there any noticeable performance benefits?

I use my computer to dual-boot. I don't need snapshots because I have a custom script for a fresh install. I use my PC for gaming and work. I've got an NVMe, two SSD's and one HDD.

Thanks in advance!

 
 

Place your tank on one side of your team, and your squishies opposite, to mitigate AoE damage

 

Right now we've got share, bookmark, upvote and down vote.

But I share and bookmark less than I block communities (curating my feed), and hide posts (so I can refresh without scrolling past the same stuff).

The latter two are in the extras menu. It would be great if I could swap these buttons.

Thanks for all your work! This is my favourite Lemmy app!
