SARGE

Honestly I wouldn't even bother saying it's an annotated Bible, as long as it's pulling from a translation of the Bible that a church would use, it's the same Bible.

I love when someone tries calling me out on not using "the right" translation, because depending on how the conversation has gone up to then, I will either pull out a king James edition, or start listing any of the dozens upon dozens of English translations available, asking if this one or that one was valid enough, until I've made my point.

My Bible when I first read all the way through was a new living translation children's adventure Bible. It had a few illustrations in the family-friendly well-covered areas, mostly new testament. I thought it was pretty fucked up in some parts already, and they did kind of change the phrasing and language to be less obvious to children what is being said.

The one I usually use for reference now is a new international version with no annotations or additional context that was gifted to me when I graduated highschool.

The road rash as in "the road now looks red like it has a rash"?

Those speeds aren't Road rash, they're meat crayon territory.

And I don't know if there would be much meat left by the time the crayon stopped.

So a court has told another court to stop looking into court cases and let people not follow court orders.

So court orders are meaningless.

The Bible I read definitely had something to say about nobody except god knowing when jesus was supposed to come back.

Certainly never said you could summon God with a blood sacrifice.

Then again, most Christians have never read the Bible. If they had, they would probably be like me and no longer believe.

View it from the perspective of someone who doesn't hate McDonald's and the grease their food slid in on.

I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks the fallout series is all bad.

They're objectively wrong of course, but they still hold that belief.

Never let a working man slander the name of my father.

He was the union man.

It allows rainwater to be absorbed rather than running off causing flooding.

There's an old theater I performed at twice in Southern Ohio. Built before the Civil War, and surrounded by brick buildings, a brick street out front, brick alley, and brick parking lot area.

The second time I was there, the street had been paved, as had the back parking area, and large portion of surrounding alleys. Only the single side alley was still brick.

The first time it rained the week I was there, the basement, while not flooded completely, had so much water running through it to the sunken boiler room, the owners had to toss down some quick 2x4 walkways so nobody was ruining costumes and footwear or slipping and suing. The walls of the basement looked like mini waterfalls.

I popped outside during a lull and the back parking area and alley were basically acting as a funnel, pushing all the water right up to the sides of the building.

I just checked a satellite map view and it looks like they've at least re-paved the back alley (don't know if it drains any better but it's clearly much darker and there's lines painted) and the building beside it is gone and instead there's a ton of grass. So maybe it's better, but I'm sure they shortened the remaining life of the building by a ton.

Surface looks damp, leaves and pine needles tend to stick a lot.

However, by the time you are done blowing, the surface will be bone dry and nobody will slip!

To me bats are only jump-scary, like paranormal activity.

They're too cute up close to be afraid of, they only get me when I'm walking at night and one passes close enough for me to hear it flapping for a split second, which doesn't happen every day, but several times a day since I walk my dogs down a road with a forest to live in on one side and a field filled with juicy bugs for them to eat on the other.

I had one take up residence in the corner of my porch covering, it made me jump a little the first time I noticed it move, but I liked checking on him every morming

I live in rural Ohio and actually live fairly close to a decent sized solar farm.

Over the last 2-3 years I've seen more household solar setups, and one person I'm super jealous of has a really nice wind turbine/solar hybrid system with a garage battery wall visible when they leave their garage door open.

We're very slowly getting there, but it's like running a race with a weight around your ankle and people swinging at you with bats.

And STILL I hear dumb shits in the US say "solar isn't feasible"

Motherfuckers then why does literally every other country have tons of solar plants, rooftop installations, balcony installations and some packed away they can pull out when the power cuts out? Why do major companies put massive solar farms next to their new factories? Why are people interested in fossil fuels spending so much goddamn money telling people solar sucks? If it sucked, people wouldn't use it.
