That guy makes awesome audio equipment (if only I could afford it) without the audiophile Monster gimmick.

I am jealous to this day of my dad's digital tuner which is finally starting to flake out after 20+ years - too bad it's stereo :(

Live action is not an opposite to CGI. Live action is an opposite to animation (hand-drawn cels or computer generated)

And frankly, I am not so far from a reasonably large town

That would put you firmly in a rural area. They clearly called out that rural broadband availability is too low.

Read up on the Mason Dixon line and the formation of new states during the mid-19th century. And then come back here and tell me that isn't gerrymandering at the highest possible level.

.Net has Sitecore are Sharepoint. Java has AEM (which is what Typo3 tries to be) and several others. These of course are "enterprise" proprietary solutions, but just as easy to install and configure. I could spend hours talking about what a joke Typo3 is. The truth is that web CMS platforms use PHP because it is the defacto standard in shared hosting plans, just like most desktop games are written for Windows with DirectX.

It can be argued that gerrymandering senate seats directly lead to the Civil War.

And he's right that governments will get really nervous about hypersonic craft. As he says in TFA, the hypersonic flight could stick to its planned flight path and then deviate only for the last 20 minutes, and still be able to hit an arbitrary target. With less time to react to the threat, government will try to preemptively secure each flight, which means the already-inconvenient airport security will get even more inconvenient.

That's a stupid argument. Most metropolises have their city core well within 20 minutes of flight time from the major airport. Many of the landing routes flyover those same urban cores.

You don't breathe when you go outside? I guess that explains the basement dwelling tendencies.

Pretty certain the extinguishers are a sculpture.

A cost to reduce another *potential* cost is still a cost, not a profit.

There's plenty of reason to spend as little time as possible at Harris Ranch.

Wow - making judgmental calls on my beliefs based on what I say about logic.

You realize this all stemmed from you claiming the Bible recommends a gold standard and I merely refuted your claim.

That has absolutely nothing to do with my individual belief system (which you're absolutely wrong about) and is intentionally going off-topic so that you can feel you won some kind of argument.

How do you think the poster got their hands on a bunch?

As soon as you start hand-waving away and justifying portions you don't agree with (like the slavery example you just mentioned), you have opened the door for *any* portions to be justified away in the same manner. There is nothing in the Bible that instructs "follow this part, but ignore the previous page."

The Bible cannot be used as a basis of logic and directive on human behavior for this very reason. It can be a fantastic tool for study, for allegorical lessons, for cautionary warnings, for a supplementary tool, and especially as the guiding principals of religious belief, but not as a logical basis for extrapolation into how people or cultures should act.

The Bible clearly lays out mandatory tithing . Wether a particular denomination or church follows that practice is something altogether different.

But it's completely wrong to claim that the Bible discourages taxation while ignoring what the Bible says about tithing. Not to mention the whole "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's" goes against your servitude argument as well.

Hint: The Bible is inconsistent with itself in many ways. As a result, trying to use the Bible as foundation or any set of rules or behaviors requires making effectively arbitrary decisions as to which conflicting passages should be used or how they should be interpreted.
