  • If you mean Jesus as described word for word in the bible? Yes you are right. Such a mythical figure never existed.

    A man name Jesus from the first century AD? Who preached in the Levant? Who was baptized by a man named John and was later crucified? There is good enough evidence of such a person existing. This isn't even a debated question among new testament scholars anymore.

    I see you are familiar with Bart Ehrman, Even he doesn't dispute that a historical Jesus existed.

    Here's an even deeper dive from Bart Ehrman.

  • Physical proof? No. But if that's the criterion for proof that someone existed, then that mean 90% of historical figures can't be proven to have existed. We don't have the remains of Alexander the Great or any artefacts we can be sure are his. We have no remnants of Plato, none of his original writings remain.

    Did a person name Jesus live sometime during the first century AD? Scholars are fairly certain of that. We do have textual evidence other than the bible that points to his existence.

    It is highly unlikely that he was anything like the person written about in the bible. He was likely one of many radical apocalyptic prophets of the time.

    We don't have too many details about his life but because of something called the criterion of embarrassment we have good reason to believe he was baptized by a man named John the Baptist and was later crucified. (i.e. most burgeoning religions seeking legitimacy don't typically invent stories that are embarrassing to their deity)

  • They couldn't even track or enforce their previous 5 day work week when errant employers made their workers work beyond 5 days or mandated maximum hours, there is no chance in hell they will catch unpaid overtime.

  • I was in Venice pre-covid. I spent a day walking around and soaking in the sights and sounds. Sat by myself for an hour listening to some guy play the chello. It was beautiful. Never got harassed by street peddlers or scammers unlike in Milan. The architecture was beautiful like nothing else. Its a city trapped in the Renaissance era.

  • Spend a bit more on UL approved brands, those tend to be more resilient to dust.

    Photoelectric type is better for home use as your typical fires are smouldering, which photoelectrics are better at catching.

  • Thats because the majority of the cost is not in the direct cost of generation but in maintaining the grid. That's a fixed expense that does not fluctuate and there is no way generation costs will offset maintenance costs.

  • You know it when you go to work and it doesn't feel like work. It doesn't feel like an absolute drag to get out of bed.

    I'm an HVAC engineer. I love my job, to me it's like spending all day solving logic puzzles or a detective mystery. I found I was pretty good at it about 6 months into the job, when I figured out a problem the senior techs couldn't. I enjoy being out and about instead of chained to a desk.

    A job/career doesn't have to be a passion. Just something you don't dread everyday. My passion is in sports but somehow engineering was something I was good at, it felt satisfying fixing things. I'd never make my passion my job cause I know it would completely ruin it for me.
