RE: NUCLEAR FUSION

Right.
Fusion been more than just a jazz-rock phenomen for quite some time now.
But is it really closer to production - did the article say how cost effectve mining
and transport of this perticular mineral would be (is my question).

I bet Elon Musk could be wild enough to look into this:)

Thanks for the blog, interesting.

RE: How Trump is following Hitlers playbook

No, he is an autocrat only in people’s minds who disagree with them. Democrats are good at throwing goofy things like that around. They like to so people are homophobic, islamaphobia, social phobia etc they do this because they don’t have any good thoughts to explain their position on any certain issue or person.

The person to fear in the oval off is the one who believes in globalism and will not defend his own people but who will defend invaders instead. wine

RE: How Trump is following Hitlers playbook

Reich is a fairly common name amongst Ashkenazi Jewish people, the adjective meaning 'rich', as in 'a wealthy and powerful man'.

That's different from the noun 'Reich' meaning 'empire'.

Perhaps the irony is your ignorant assumption.

RE: How Trump is following Hitlers playbook

It was the Jewish space lasers that are to blame, I tell ya.

They fry everyone's brains and only the the superior, real American patriots (who just happen to be white) can resist such evil doings.

Keep doing your star jumps, Chancer. joy

You mean the same as Trump did against Hilary Clinton in 2016 then.

NUCLEAR FUSION

Grandioze

The difference between fusion and fission is that the former produces much more energy, whereas the latter produces more radioactivity which needs to be contained. But yes in the meantime I would agree that smaller nuclear power stations would be better.

RE: NUCLEAR FUSION

Aha. if thye don't need tonns and tonns to deliver power then maybe.
A question of what does the transport cost vs effect, i guess.
How many kilos they need per mwh?

Are you sure fission is not still better?
I'm a big fan of new modern nuclear power.
Maybe in this smaller portable types, the ones that can be cooled without water.

RE: After writing a condolence letter

"The doctor comes into the room. He says: You were in a coma for 5 days, we had to revive you twice, once it took quite a long time."

5 days?? How did that happen? Your account reads like an authentic dream and is not easy for strangers to interpret. Good thing you wrote it up while it was still new. Hope you copy to CD and print on high-quality paper.

RE: Kissenger

For once we agree on something.

RE: How Trump is following Hitlers playbook

Hitler's playbook involved using the German justice system to persecute and essentially eliminate his foes (look at everything Democrats are currently throwing at Trump from trying to remove him from the ballot, to trying to bankrupt him on an absurd premise, to trying to jail him for having documents from his own administration and legally protesting the stolen 2020 presidential election)

Hitler's playbook also involved using a controversial event as the excuse to do so. The Reichstag Fire in 1933 was this event. Democrats have sought to use the event of January 6th 2021 towards similar ends. Upwards of 1,500 charged from that day, most who committed no violence, but who had their homes raided at 6am by a dozen or so armed FBI agents nonetheless. After that many took guilty plea deals, because the alternative was racking up onerous legal bills and facing a judge and jury in a district that voted 92% for Joe Biden.

Of course Hitler had his army of propagandists too. Low level plebs, and then the higher ups like Mr Reich here (oh the irony with the name) who worked overtime to poison the well and set the preconditions to justify ever more persecution. Of course we know what came after the initial political persecution phase in the case of Hitler and The Nazi Party. They felt emboldened to do more. That's kind of what happens with one party rule and a captured media and judicial system (America's not there yet, but it's teetering).

Of course to anyone paying attention (and bold enough to be honest) - Democrats' playbook when it comes to Trump is to try and project their proclivities onto him. Projection - the oldest propaganda technique in the book - accuse your opponent of that which you're guilty of. Then they simply repeat the accusations over and over and over again - it's a demoralization technique - 'if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself' (quote attributed to chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels).

RE: Kissenger

While Mr Kissinger’s policies have been very effective in terms of advancing American foreign policy interests, they are also considered to be extremely uncaring towards the fates of civilians, values and quite often simple common decency.

UK & USA ELECTIONS THIS YEAR. UKRAINE?

It looks like Putin is trying to show that Ukraine had something to do with the Moscow terrorist attack by stating that those captured were heading for Ukraine. It would suit his agenda to stir up anti Ukraine feelings amongst the Russian population.

FLAGS.

Do flags signify ownership? Are they provocative? Whenever there is conflict, there is a flag. Even on the moon a flag is placed. Does that make a statement. This is ours.We are conquerors. We are the best. Our country is the greatest.
Would it be better to stop flying flags?

RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING

Daphne
How can wearing a head covering be man made and religious? Which one is it? If the woman accepts the religious belief, then she wears a hair covering and accepts the reason behind it, which is to not be appealing to men. Then she applies make up to make herself as attractive as possible. A contradiction, yes?
What's the point of going to a hair salon and then covering your hair up?

RE: RELIGIOUS HAIR COVERING

Daphne... yes, he needs a different lens. Just as those, primarily women, enslaved by ridiculous religious restrictions, this woman was not allowed to be herself. Finding a man is not the answer, she must first find herself..



We freed a slave from a Russian village and took her to the city.

You can see her self confidence increase as she's trying on clothes. She had really opened up by the time they got to doing hair and makeup. She really does look beautiful and elegant after her transformation..

RE: The USA bannana republic.

I have no doubt that some politicians cheat and lie but Trump takes the so called proverbial cake...laugh
A man with no scruples that is willing to sell everyone out for his own gain...I wonder what all his 'friends' think of him as they rot in prison meanwhile he is free to do more damage...
I see Biden as a lesser threat and has no problems with working with the opposition and he appears sane despite some backtalk about his mental fitness regarding his age...

Trump (it appears) is just batshit crazy and it will be hard for his supporters to pretend everything is fine regarding his current state of mind...that is just my opinion and will wait and see what transpires next...
Take note...Melania has already secured new financial conditions regarding her prenuptial agreement including her son's financial trust...where is Ivanka...not involved with his campaign and trying to steer clear of his many litigations while Trump's sons seem to be cannon fodder...

Not one his billionaire friends are willing to aid in his financial snafus probably due to his history of non-payment not to mention his inability to stop twitter blabbing in regards to having money to pay but does not want to despite his lawyer trying to show his inability to pay...a slap in the face to his legal team...Does America need this soap opera to continue?...
wow

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

]It's going to teach us the kind of questions that we need to ask if we're going to seriously study scripture and we're going to learn how to navigate through a difficult text. You know, when you join a sports team as a kid, all everybody wants to do is just play right. You join the basketball team. All you want to do is play basketball. You join the soccer team. All you want to do is play soccer. Nobody wants to go over the mechanics of how to take a shot.

Nobody wants to get in a line. And the coach says, OK, now put your arm at a 90 degree angle, put your respect, get three fingers spread on the ball.

Nobody wants to do that. Nobody wants to learn the principles behind a three man weave this one to play.

But we all understand that that sort of stuff is foundational to becoming an effective player. Similarly, you can have fun studying the Bible from scratch. You can pick it up, you can read it, and you'll be blessed, you will grow in your relationship with the Lord. Absolutely. But if you want to study the scripture at a deeper level than you're going to need to wrestle with some of the types of issues that we're going to look at today.

So let's start by talking about a few key principles for studying scripture. These are not exhaustive. They're just a few that are going to help us with this and many other texts. Firstly, as you study the Bible, you're going to encounter.

Scripture that you cannot understand at first reading or find offensive, can you say amen to that, that it just happens, right? It happens.

And when it does, I want to encourage you to do this as a habit.

I have a journal, a spiritual journal of some kind. Write down the verses in question, write down the date, write down your issues and your questions and your concerns, and then pray about it.

Pray about it. Ask the Lord to lead you to an answer, then read some good Bible commentaries, listen to some different preachers, preach on that text.

And you know what? God will lead you to an answer. It may be days, it may take decades, but I can promise you he will be faithful to give you peace about the issue one way or another. And when you find that peace, when you find that answer, you'll be able to go back in that journal and write the date that the issue became settled for you.

And you will be so blessed as over time you build this journal that tracks God's faithfulness in answering your questions about scripture.

Now, why don't we just give up when we encounter something in scripture that we don't fully understand? Because there's more than enough that we do understand, and the part that we do understand clearly reveals to us a loving and good heavenly father. And so where we don't yet understand. We have faith in the goodness of God.

That one day we will we fill that gap between the question and the answer with faith, because we know enough, we know the character of our heavenly father, let me tell you something about the truth.

The truth can handle your questions. Do you know that the truth can handle your questions when something is genuinely true, it can hold up to scrutiny. And this is why it's so dangerous that as a culture, we're starting to exhibit this belief that conversation and questions should just be shut down and questioning should be forbidden when it comes to certain topics. This is true. We've established it. No more questions. Let me say it again.

The truth never needs to be protected from questions because it has nothing to fear from questions. Listen, we don't need to ban people from suggesting that the earth is flat. We need to do a better job of sharing why it is that we really, really sure that the earth is round, that's what we need to do.

The solution is not shutting down questions. The solution is providing better, clearer answers and evidence. It's laziness or at worst, cowardice to just say, no, we're shutting down the questions.

Introduction to the Book of the Covenant
Date:10/11/20

Series: Exodu...Passage: Exodus 20:22-23:19

Speaker: Jeff Thompson

As we prepare to study a section of Exodus known as "The Book of the Covenant", Pastor Jeff shares challenges raised by scholars and walks us through some key concepts to keep in mind when studying Scripture.

And we're going to be getting into a very different kind of message today, we're getting into a section of scripture that has a lot of unique challenges. And so I have to spend a whole message getting you ready for that section of scripture. This is going to be a little bit like a seminary class, but it's going to be an opportunity to learn some valuable principles about how we approach studying the Bible. If you love the Bible or if you're new to the Bible, whatever it is, I'm probably going to say something that's going to make you feel uncomfortable today.

OK, don't cancel me before the message is over, OK? Don't get up in a grand show of disgust at my heresy. Wait and see where it's going. That's just a general good rule when you hear me teach. If you think I'm being heretical, just give me five minutes.

I'll bring it back. I'll get you back. So I just want to give you that heads up. The Book of the Covenant is the term used by scholars to refer to the section of scripture between Exodus, Chapter 20, verse 22, through Exodus, Chapter 23, verse 19.

And the term comes from Exodus 24 seven, which is on your outlines where we are told that Moses took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people.

This section of scripture describes civil wars that were followed by the Israelites in order that they might fulfill their covenant with the Lord, wherein they would be his people and he would be their God. In Chapter 19, we read about how the Israelites reached Mount Sinai and God spoke to Moses. The Lord revealed to him the offer of this covenant with Israel. And here's what happened in Exodus 19, also on your outlines. So Moses came and called for the elders of the people and laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him.

Then all the people answered together and said all that the Lord has spoken, we will do. That was part of the Covenant agreement. The official covenant ceremony is going to come up later, but that's the gist of it. They understood that part of being God's people would include living as God's people. Crazy thought, right? If you're going to call yourself the people of Iowa, you actually have to live in a way that reflects the fact that you're the people of Iowa.

A very obvious point, but one that to this day, a lot of people find very offensive. What do you mean?

Just because I call myself a Christian, I have to live a certain way. That's crazy. Is it? Is it, though? So write this down. The purpose of the Book of the Covenant was to help Israel apply the values of the Ten Commandments to everyday life.

Its purpose was to help Israel apply the values of the Ten Commandments to everyday life. That's the idea. The Ten Commandments speak to every area of life through the values behind them that can be translated to every area of life. Now, I need to let you know that among biblical scholars, the Book of the Covenant is highly controversial and debated for several reasons that I'm going to get into in a minute. And the reason we're going to spend some time talking about this stuff is, again, it's going to teach us some principles about how to study the Bible.

RE: Where is Kate Middleton

I was not the first to break the news ,so I didn't own it.

I made a separate blog so that those who wanted to see the video such as mermaidhair could watch it.

I'm not making an issue out of this you are ,and where did I say anything about you being offended.? If others post comments that annoy you that's not my problem. Take issue with them not me.
