  1. well, Lot's wife was told not to turn around and gawk once already... you can't be spoiling those disobedient women by telling them twice. Next thing you know they will be cutting the hair and crippling a great Jewish warrior who once killed a 1000 men with the jawbone of a donkey. Granted, i grew up going to Church but have not been back in probably 10 years or so. I actually really liked the church i went to willingly as an adult and it was truly was not a den of hating gays, keeping women in their places and blaming migrants for all the world's problems but I just started hating 'the church' abroad in general personified by Jeffress and his ilk. But looking back, I should have been scared shitless of the OT God as a child. As to the 4000 or 6000 yo Erff people. In this day and age with the scientific methods available to spell out exactly how and when dinosaurs roamed the land it's just a pristine example of willful ignorance to persist in 'believing' that. I mean, are there any ancient texts from Greek scholars when some of them started saying, "you know, as awesome as it sounds, I don't really think that Zeus ate his wife and then his son cracked his head open with an axe to let his daughter out of there fully grown and armed. Maybe, just maybe lightning is a natural phenomenon"
  2. anecdotally finding a number and calling in to the shot center seems to work. my wife's parents and my parents were getting shut out on the vax online but called in were able to get appts when the websites were saying no dice.
  3. is it weird that these places and Bible teachings in general sorta gloss over the main point of the story that God utterly destroyed all human life on the planet sans Noah and pals? Were all the humans wicked? maybe all the kids were complete little shits and deserved to drown, idk. Shirley, there were pregnant mothers and their unborn babies were killed. Were all these people who were judged and killed on Earth judged again at the pearly gates? The biggest mass-murder event in the history of the world and most people are like "lol, look how the giraffes' heads are sticking out of the ark. That's so cute."
  4. didn't he already get a divorce that costs about that much per day? did the math, 25 years of marriage @ $137K per day is 1.25B the settlement was for $37B, so the actual costs was $4M per day
  5. damn, i have lived here for 20 years now and never heard of this, but Moses riding a raptor? sign me up. would love to see a list of their 'experts'
  6. saw thread title and thought we needed a professional to handle some emotional pain
  7. pretty sure that's "guy who is getting stabbed in his sleep" for a $1000
  8. "Did you like those three Super Bowls?" "Did you enjoy those? I hope you did. I hope you did very much." never forget...but after 25 years it's getting tougher to remember
  9. KP needs to go have a fundamental session with the big Fundamental and learn how to make a bank shot. Every time he does stay 'near' the post with a smaller defender on him, he misses a bank shot from 10-12'. The Mavs just cannot shoot and make baskets. Watch any other good team and their 'just-a-guy' starters make fucking buckets. Mavs shooting is putrid. It's either talent, slumping or scheme is not getting the right players the right shots. maybe a little from col a,b and c
  10. if the old site could host the star war / star trek mashup fan fic, then surly should be good.
  11. my folks finally got their 1st dose this week. so that makes me happy. They are small town Texas (3 hours from any big hub) and i was getting worried they might not ever get any vax there.
  12. yep, lol. Texags was like "I guess OAN is only mainstream news source left now"
  13. nice! i find the app kinda dangerous. it's always right after the mid afternoon beer/cocktail session that I think "Self, we really should be able to break our top speed if we throw just a little more caution to the wind"
  14. not a firestick, but just through the TV that was Amazon capable, but good point in that i don't think i have messed with any audio options in there.. I did see some specific articles about the sound on Tenet and how hard it was to hear the talking, so I was not alone there.
  15. i just want a countdown thread to track the decline into socialism. Maybe we should also combine the decline into Marxism in there as well. Now that i think about it the decline into communism would fit right in there as well.
  16. you can outsource it to the police...for free Sounds like the mom called the cops on her 9yo from what i can make out reading the story. so there you go. all the pepper spray, none of the guilt
  17. my source is inferring from tweets by the Dallas county judge, but I think they get a bulk shipment and stick people till they run out.
  18. Just you wait. When KP is healthy, this team is going places! "you miss 65% of the shots you always take" - Michael Scott I want to believe, truly want to believe, that when everyone gets back they can start perform at a high level again and put some wins together, but it's at the point where KP is missing everything and if Jr is not on fire, we don't have a chance no matter what Luka does. Call me a bad fan, but I just want to tune in to the first quarter to see how Luka is doing then look at the score late to see if it's worth tuning in. Last game I was like sweet! 96 all in the 4th should be a great finish...sad trombone as CP3 lifts his leg on the Mavs down the stretch on his way to cash a SS check.
  19. so I have a super basic setup not worthy of calling a 'home theater'. It's a TV connected to a decent sound bar + sub. Have always noticed (going back to every other set up) that the talky parts of a movie are hard to hear while the booms are deafening. Got around to watching Tenet and they were whispering compared the action scenes. was constantly adjusting the volume depending on the scene. Anyway, is the only solution to add a receiver to mix where you can actually tweak the levels? I have the soundbar setup to lessen the bass and raise the treble, but it's pretty basic. - was streaming Tenet through Amazon if if matters, but it was way way worse than anything I have experienced with the audio in some time.
