Buy a corn farm and change the crop from corn to solar. Between 25% and 48% of the corn in the US is turned into ethanol for cars. You’d be doing double duty combating climate change, and living the capitalists wet dream of one time investment with constant return.
Only if I can bring my crossbows…
Can’t help with the rest, but Sing Sing Sing is a famous Benny Goodman song
Ahh, fair enough. It was a bad joke anyway, on my part.
If you have an accent that is probably what tripped up the TTS. The words purpose and porpoise are said remarkably similarly in certain accents.
Autocorrect wrote porpoise in your comment as opposed to purpose. Porpoises are in the dolphin family.
I don’t think those students were dolphins…
Since when? They didn’t when the war started, and cigarette boats don’t really count as a Navy
I don’t speak Spanish well. The caption on the photo is something like “a child (walks?) past an unexploded Iranian missile in Syria,” correct?
Yeah, we’ve been kinda disrespectful to bears in general in this state. Heck the one we put on the flag looks terrified.
We have a Californian RFKJr.? Or was the bear alive?
Anyone in education with a functional sense of self preservation, much less morals and intelligence. I did my undergrad TA work in a middle school and high school. I basically chained myself to the nearest woman staff member the entire time I was on the campus, and there were several times I had to grab literally a random staff member so that one, or a group, of the girls didn’t corner me in a classroom by ourselves. I’m certain that none of them had any interest in me, but I’m not a good judge of that, and wasn’t taking any chances at someone claiming that I did something untowards to a student.
Also started The Baha’is who don’t seem to be disappointed at all.
I’m certain it wasn’t in the apocrypha that’s a separate book at least at the school I went to. I am certain it was Old Testament, and not New Testament. Other than that, I’m pretty sure it was one of the books that got separated into parts I and II, but I couldn’t tell you if it was the first or second part.
I got turned onto that particular passage by a Baha’i I was talking to outside of the school, now that I think about it. They used it as proof that Christ had already returned and the Christians missed it as hard as the Jews missed their Messiah.
Could be, I dunno. I’m not Christian, but my parents sent me to Catholic school because it had better rates of higher education among its graduates than the local public school. The Catholics took me not being a Christian personally and only let me read the Bible. So I read it, and started confronting priests and religion teachers with questions they couldn’t answer because I’m an obstinate little shit like that.
The verse I am referring to is in numbers it gives the last great census of Jerusalem as the starting year. It says x number of years would pass before the firmament was restored, referring to the Messiah, y number of years before the firmament would be shattered, referring to his death, and z number of years before the glory of God would appear.
We know when that census occured. When you do the math those years are 5BCE, 27CE, and 1844CE.
The main reason is that it is really obscure. I’ll see if I can find it.
Edit: yeah, I’m not finding it. It basically says that from the time of the last great census of Jerusalem there would be a certain number of days (days mean years in this part of Numbers.) until the firmament was restored, referring to the Messiah, another number of days before it would be shattered, referring to his death, and a third number of days before the glory of God would appear. When you do the math, those years become 5BCE, 27CE, and 1844CE
I’m referring to a specific timeline set out in numbers that most Christians totally ignore, especially apocalyptic Christians.
The Jehovah’s witnesses were set up specifically because of this prophecy, and even they decided he was late by the end of the 1800s
It’s somewhere in Numbers. There’s a prophecy that refers to the last great census of Jerusalem. It refers to time in days, but had previously mentioned that days in this context refer to years. There would be a certain number of years before the Messiah would appear, though they use a flowery title to refer to him, and another number of years before he would be struck down. It then goes on to say that he would return after X number of years. If you do the math, those years come out to 5BC, 27CE, and 1844CE.
While that’s true, it did give a year. We’re just over 180 years past that particular year.
If you can learn to write a business proposal, you don’t have to be able to afford it. A bank will practically shit themselves to give people loans that can show that an initial investment of less than $500,000 to $750,000 (for a 150 acre farm) will produce an average of $1,200,000- $1,500,000 per year every year for the next 25 years.
Edit: the previous reply in this chain wasn’t me. I appreciate their support though.
Edit 2: if you don’t know how to write a business proposal, librarians can and will help with that.
