The bane of retail workers at Christmas time: "all I want for Christmas is L A M P"

A ute with no mud on it. Either it's brand new, or they have no idea what the point of a ute is, so they bought an overpriced car which is worse for them than an average station wagon

Preferably enough to make me forget about the existence of this abomination

the word of the Lord is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path

Wasn't the original comic about a miscarriage?

Guys who are into cbt: are you sure?

Or if you know a farmer, a paddock is also a good option

We've got mountains of content. Some better, some worse. If none of it's of interest to you, you'd be the first

Solution: freezer. I basically never have food go off because basically all of it is either frozen or non perishable.

No that's an organ. You're thinking of the big pipe instrument that old churches use

A. Then why is it still in the Bible? The old testament didn't cease to be scripture when Jesus died. If it did, why did Jesus explain it to his disciples after his resurrection (the road to Emmaus, Luke 24), and why do a lot of the letters in the new testament reference bits of the old testament?

B. "Do not think I have come to abolish the law or prophets, I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them" (Matthew 5:17). Jesus makes sure that the law and prophets (aka old testament) are still there, still honored, and still seen as God's word. What he did on the cross means we have another way to seek salvation in grace.

Ecclesiastes 3:4 - "there is a time to kill and a time to heal"

Don't only look at one part of the Bible. As important as the gospels are, you need to look at all of scripture to get the full picture. Yes, "turn the other cheek" and "give them your shirt as well", but do those as part of loving your neighbor as you love yourself.

Mods should be an improvement on a good game, not a fix on a bad one

Hard disagree. I can't think of anything less short signed or selfish than raising a generation to be better than the previous

For sure. I'm getting married in about 6 months, and we've already agreed we want to have kids, but that we don't want them right away.

"Right now is the easy times that strong men like me made" says the man who grew up in the easy times

But these are all right angles, as long as the two arcs are centered on the same point as the intersection of the two straight lines.

A. With a stretch, sure

B. Well yes. Alchemy was just chemistry before people knew what chemicals were

C. For sure. You tell a medieval person "hey, here's this special rectangular rock mirror that I shoved lightning into through a fancy metal rope, and now it can think and make pictures that move", you're not making it out of your witchcraft trial alive

Tabletop/party games? How big is the group? I could probably recommend half a dozen games for any group size up to 20

My brain just went to "you were trying to cross the border right? Same as us, and that thief over there"
