I think many people assume their views are the majority and simply under-represented. I've had people drastically misjudge my leanings based on clothing, temperament and religious beliefs.
They think if someone is nice and sensible they must agree on certain worldview assumptions and are shocked to find out otherwise.
Statistically old people have the highest suicide rate. It's just a reasonable guess, lots of tourism... hidden underside of high suicides. Florida sounds like what he could be talking about, but they tend not to do it in dramatic ways that get a lot of attention. Usually they just stop taking their medicine and it's not entirely clear if it was intentional or not.
Checking here shows that no state has a suicide rate 3x the average and only Wyoming has just about 2x the average. Looking at the top 10 states, none of them seem strongly linked with tourism. They mostly look like rural places.
That's all statewide, he didn't specify state but rather his town... so a particular town could be 3x the average and not skew the stats for the whole state.
Checking HERE it turns out Las Vegas has the #1 suicide rate of all US towns. That actually matches the original poster's story better than a tropical retirement tourist trap type place. Las Vegas definitely wants to be thought of a a city of lights and glamour, not the place you're most likely to kill yourself after gambling away every cent you own.
Regarding the JW who ran off with rent money. If it were known what they did in the congregation it would certainly not be ignored. Many outsiders don't agree with the practice of disfellowshipping but scriptural commands such as stealing are expected to be obeyed. Firstly they would have the opportunity to make recompense and pay you back in full, only if refusing would it come to that.
I think Darwin streaming server will do that bandwidth compensation stuff. The videos are saved in chunks and it will swap to higher or lower quality based on congestion while playing. If you're already using H.264 you're halfway there.
But can you put 10W over a micro-USB cable? If you charge an iPad over a normal USB plug it takes forever. The iPad power plug goes way over normal USB spec. Using their own connector means they can do crazy stuff like that without worrying about frying other devices it might plug into.
I've spent years slowly learning how to eat brussel sprouts, mushrooms, mayo, mustard, cooked carrots, shrimp, calimari... those aren't really big deals but damn if I'll ever like eggs! Working on that for the last 3 years and I just hate em. It's the texture... like chewing on snot or something. At least I can tolerate them once in a while and won't starve if I'm stuck somewhere with scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Nono, you see the cameras are actually facing each other, it's impossible to destroy one without being filmed on the other.
What they haven't realized yet is that someone could drop a small meteor precisely between them.
Question about Mods & Source engine compatibil
on
Black Mesa Released
·
· Score: 1
I have a Mac and previously bought a copy of Half Life 2 along with Portal and some other stuff in a pack. Previously I was able to download some mods that weren't made specifically for Windows or Mac and they played just fine.
How exactly is Black Mesa different from those mods? I understand that it would need to be ported to Linux or Macs so... why was it packaged as an executable and not a cross-platform type mod?
I've never played the original Half Life so was kind of looking forward to this release. D'oh!
The #1 thing I try to explain to "deaf power" people... is that audism goes both ways.
Most dictionaries or sign language books explain audism as oppression of deaf, or people who believe that the hearing world and way of doing things is "better".
It's a common problem in oppressed communities to focus on the external causes of their problems and start to blame the oppressors for everything. There's 2 types of racism, thinking less of a particular group, or going the opposite way and favoring that group instead. It's not like only white people are racists... anyone can be.
So it's not enough to call hearing people audists and say they're harming the deaf. We also have to look at ourselves and not turn into haters, not obsessing over past wrongs and always favoring and preferring deaf over hearing. Some deaf hate hearing people... that's audism. Some deaf get angry when their deaf friends date a hearing person... that's audism.
Jesus healing deaf is specifically mentioned at: Mark 7:32-37; Matthew 11:5; Luke 7:22
You're right that other healings were described with the term "mute", "speechless" or "dumb" depending on translation so we don't know if they were deaf unlike the case in Mark 7 and the attestations in Matthew and Luke.
Future healing of deafness: Isaiah 29:18, 35:5
There's also the restored health of all people on earth prophecies: Prov. 2:21,22; Isaiah 33:24, 35:6, 65:17-25; Matt. 5:5; Rev. 21:3,4. Which would include the whole range of human suffering.
I added in some extras there incase you have only heard of a spiritual interpretation of those scriptures. When looked at as a whole it shows a continuation of the promise in the Hebrew scriptures that the earth will be restored to a paradise. Such as the promise that Daniel would sleep for a long time and wake up to inherit his "land". Daniel 12:13 Also the future expectation of Lazarus' resurrection that his sister Mary already believed in. John 11:23,24. Of course those baptized in holy spirit would have a heavenly resurrection to rule over the earth as kings and priests. (Rev. 5:10) The earth has to have people on it for that to mean something.:-)
This article was up the other day, it has a shocking description of how abuse happens and the thought process of the abuser. Was that necessary to the overall article? It certainly caused a bit of controversy. Overall however the article presents pedophiles not as a pure embodiment of evil but as sick people who need help and counseling. That is, distinguishing pedophiles from child molesters who have acted on that impulse. It seems that allowing people who have such a bent to get help and counseling without completely destroying their lives would be better to society overall than being out for their blood or driving them to suicide from despair. Strangely the description in the article while sickening did add a human angle to the problem and helped me personally to not jump to condemn someone who might be sexually stuck as a 12 year old in an adult's body. Just... get... help.
That's true. Also in many deaf churches they teach that God chose them to be deaf, they're special for that. Very few will talk about Jesus healing the deaf or scriptures that mention the deaf being able to hear in the future. Many christian deaf are unaware of those scriptures and their reaction will vary greatly depending on their background.
Just another way that deaf expectations and feelings are the opposite of what many might assume.

And he would have subtly tweaked the message for each employee to find out who leaks the new one.
Excuse me while I go vomit.
Very neat effect but... yikes.

It's also the standard name for the native people in Guyana. They REALLY hate being called indigenous.
Oh believe me you do NOT want Mexican plumbing in your house. That little trash can in the bathroom takes on a whole new job.
There is one other reason I haven't seen discussed for Apple switching connectors.
Perhaps it's scorched-earth damage they're doing to hurt Samsung who's already copied the dock connector.
They didn't bioengineer the bacteria, they found one that already exists.

FTFY.
When you move to a new congregation the elders send a letter of introduction to the new one. So they would be able to tell you where she moved.
Mormons have temples, JW's have Kingdom Halls.

Who is "are you" and what does his thinking have to do with an Apple dominated world?
At least they intend to think as their CUSTOMERS do and figure out what they want and do daily instead of trying to think as their competitors do.
That at least, makes sense.
I'm sure people told the Wright brothers the same thing.
Your USB port uses 1V? That's weird.
But can you put 10W over a micro-USB cable? If you charge an iPad over a normal USB plug it takes forever. The iPad power plug goes way over normal USB spec. Using their own connector means they can do crazy stuff like that without worrying about frying other devices it might plug into.
I totally agree they overcharge though.
I've spent years slowly learning how to eat brussel sprouts, mushrooms, mayo, mustard, cooked carrots, shrimp, calimari... those aren't really big deals but damn if I'll ever like eggs! Working on that for the last 3 years and I just hate em. It's the texture... like chewing on snot or something.

That's a very kind reply, thanks for the civility.
