Sabbath

You seem to think the bible says the Sabbath need not be kept because of the new covenant, however Matthew 5:17-18 contradicts that view, because Jesus says that the law hasn’t changed. Also if you read carefully you will notice that even in some passages where he’s critic of Sabbath, it is directed at the way people do it, and not the act itself.

Neutral person

You’re missreading what you quoted. Regarding Jesus a person can be in one of 3 states, for, against or neutral. Your quote says

For the one who is not against us is for us.

Meaning neutral counts as counts as for, therefore Jesus is not against like you claimed. If you would like to keep arguing he’s against then quote Matthew 12:30 which is the exact opposite, i.e.

He who is not with Me is against Me

Who asked for the Census

You can’t quote something that literally says God told David to number people and claim that’s not what it means. He didn’t tempt, there’s no ambiguity he said “Go number Israel”.

numbers

Again, you’re fidgeting meaning, when someone says the sum is X but I didn’t included Y they mean that the actual number is larger than what he said. You’re shoe fitting an explanation to try to make it fit.

Jesus v Pilates

And yet in John 18:33 he’s very chatty, and always replies.

can God change

And yet, several times in the bible he regrets what he did, which is only possible by a creature capable of change. Regret means that he would do it differently now, so for example in 1 Samuel 15:10-11 when he said he regrets having made Saul King he means he wouldn’t do it now, therefore he has changed.

Also since you quoted something that also tells that Jesus can’t change, then he can’t be tempted nor die, since that requires change. Therefore Satan never had a chance to tempt him in the mountain, which makes it pointless, also he didn’t die when crucified which is a problem to the whole Christianity idea.

Jealousy

Like you quoted God is jealous, but also jealousy is a sin, and God can’t be near sin, so he can’t be near himself. You can’t claim he’s a special kind of jealous, jealousy as a whole is listed as an obvious sin in Galatians 5:20, there’s no “except when Jealousy is based on passion”

Temptation

But also he tests followers, for example Abraham. Those being tested can obey or not, not obeying god is a sin, therefore asking someone to do something they don’t want is tempting them to sin.

Answer me these citing the bible verse you’re using to justify your answer:

• Should we respect the Sabbath? Or in more general terms: Do the old laws still apply?
• If someone is neutral towards Jesus, is he considered for or against him?
• King David was instigated to do a census by a spiritual being, who was it?
• Speaking of the census, how many swordsmen are there?
• Did Jesus argue with Pilates or remained quiet and only replied “you say so”?
• Can God change?
• Is God jealous?
• Does God tempt men?

The Bible contradicts itself in multiple places, so that’s keeping up with the theme.

I literally couldn’t care less whether you like the book or not, I’m expressing my reasoning for not liking the writing, you’re not forced to agree, nor am I saying that’s the reason you didn’t liked it. Chill out man.

I didn’t expect you to justify it, I’m just saying the book is old and took an unconventional approach to storytelling, it is to be expected that that writing style would not go well with everyone.

I mean, I liked it, but it is a weird book, I don’t think everyone will like it, but part of it’s appeal is how nonchalant it is about its weirdness. Not sure if the translations capture it, for example I don’t think the beginning of the book has the same impact in English: “Many years later, in front of the firing squad”, in Spanish that phrase is very weird, it’s the continuation of another phrase, it’s similar to opening a book and the first page starting with something like “of those, the one of his father taking him to see ice was the most cherished”, it makes you pause and look at the previous empty page thinking you’ve missed the actual first page.

But if anyone is thinking on reading it, do so with a pencil and start a family tree, the book covers 100 years of a family where everyone has the same names over and over.

Well, what do you expect from a compilation of letters from a half frozen scientific explorer telling the tale of how he found an almost dead guy who tells him the story of when a monster told him how a family taught a foreigner to speak and read. Of course the writing would suffer, at one point you’re so many layers deep that you have to wonder if Inception took inspiration from it.

It strongly depends on what you want to offend, where the person is from and the gender. Spanish is spoken in many places, and so has many, many variants. For example calling a gay porteño “puto” is just another Tuesday for him, telling it to a very homosexual Spaniard might be the worst insult ever, telling it to a Mexican he might be lost waiting for the actual curse since they use puto as an emphasis, e.g. “puto chingón”.

Also Spanish is a gendered language, I can’t even think of a curse that doesn’t rely on knowing the receiving end gender, since all have masculine and feminine form. With all of that being said, I think the safest bet would be “Hijo/a de puta”, every place I know of uses this curse, and even if one doesn’t it’s very self understanding (unlike chingón, boludo, or gilipollas which are mainly use in their own countries and people from others might not even be fully aware of them)

You just gave me the idea for the best insult ever “volvete a la concha de tu madre, mal parido de mierda, a ver si naces menos choto esta vez”

Dishwasher is supposed to be more abrasive than metal tools because it’s blasting pressurized water with coarse elements onto the stuff you put inside, same reason you don’t put good knives in the dishwasher.

It’s not going to break the first time, but I seriously doubt any non-stick coating can survive a dishwasher for a year.

It does, I have an induction wok that I used in my previous apartment that had an induction stove. That being said it does have a flatter base than a “real” wok, but most woks you will use on your kitchen also have flat bottoms anyways. But yeah, you can’t use it the same way, so if you mainly cook with woks it might be an issue, for me it wasn’t.

Non-stick has to be cleaned by hand, whereas stainless steel can go in the dishwasher, so for me that’s easier to cleanup.

Non-stick has Teflon on top, which shouldn’t be heated above a certain temperature, and to sear steak you need to leave the pan in the stove for long without anything on it so it gets extremely hot (which would damage the Teflon coating of non-stick and release poisonous gases on your kitchen, not enough to kill you, but still can’t be healthy).

So, in short, stainless steel is a good middle ground, easier to clean and maintain than non-stick and cast iron.

As for gas/electric/induction it’s about efficiency, induction heats the bottom of the pan, electric heats the glass where the pan is resting, and gas heats everything. There’s a video from a YouTuber that measures time for a pot of water to get to 100° in all 3 (I don’t remember who, I thought it was technology connections but can’t find it), and in short induction is the fastest, electric takes a while longer, and gas melted his thermometer before the water boiled (which shows you just how much heat you’re putting in a place that’s not the pan).

That being said there’s certain stuff that is easier to do on gas stoves, possible on electric and impossible on induction. Namely anything that requires the pan to be heated at an angle. It’s very niche, I would say most people wouldn’t even notice or care about this limitation, but professional chefs sometimes prefer gas because it allows to be used like this.

Ok, so, this is my favorite, not because I love the shows, although I do like some of them, but because it’s fun to chain links and how long you can make it.

We start with the “Munchiverse”, most people know Detective John Munch from his long career in Law & Order SVU, and obviously all of the Law and order are in the same universe, but also they’ve had crossovers with Chicago Fire which is in the same universe as Chicago PD and others. They’ve also had crossovers with FBI and New York Undercover. But I said this is the Munchiverse, and I only mentioned Munch once, this is where it gets interesting, X-Files has an episode where detective John Munch shows up, he also shows up in Arrested Development and The Beat. And going one extra link X-Files is canonically set in the same universe as Twin peaks. Going back to Munch, he’s originally from another TV show called Homicide: Life on the street, and in that TV show they investigate a doctor from the TV show St. Elsewhere, in that TV show someone mentions working with a Dr from M.A.S.H. I’m sure more links could be made.

Any CPU under 100 will take forever to install Gentoo, plus if 100MB is an issue Gentoo will not work for you either. Also you don’t need 1TB, and 1TB HDDs are way cheaper if you’re that tight for space. I have systems with less than 100GB dedicated to the OS and they run great, so you can get a $30 SSD and not worry about disk space for your system ever again.

It’s easy but at the same time your system is always broke? Either you were lying there or are now.

Btw. You can choose what bloat you want to have in your system (only DE vor goodies too)

Precisely my point, you keep mentioning Arch as being Bloat free and complaining that Fedora or others are bloated.

Why do you think Mint/Ubuntu/Fedora/Bazzite are not that though? It seems you don’t know how to ask your system to do stuff because otherwise your Arch install wouldn’t break. Plus I bet that the default installation of any of those distros occupies around the same disk space than what you have now.

Honestly you read like an angsty teen who read Arch is advanced and wants to be 1337 by using it, a few years back you would have been using Kali. Let me tell you a secret, Arch is not advanced, it’s a very easy straightforward distro, it just starts from a mostly clean slate, but if you’re using gnome/kde/cinnamon or any DE that distros come prepacked with its just as bloated with extra steps.

Bluetooth is a fucking security risk, wifi too.

Sure pal, big security risks. You should learn about cyber security before regurgitating information. Having the chip is not a security risk, having the open source driver isn’t either, the security risk is 99% between the screen and the chair.

I dont care how bloated your os is. Also BLAOT IS WHY IM SWITCHING

My point is that Arch is not inherently unbloated, any distro can be bloated, any distro can be unbloated, you decide what’s bloat and what’s not.

Do you know about limited disk space? Cuz that doesnt seem to be a problem for you, maybe it is for tho? Who knows?

We’re talking less than 100MB here, if your disk space is that limited you should really consider upgrading. Especially if you’re going to try Gentoo, because not only it requires more disk space but if you can’t afford a cheap 1TB drive chances are your CPU will take a week to install Gentoo since you need to compile everything.

Because they occupy so small disk size that they don’t matter and it’s easier to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I wouldn’t call hardware support bloat ware.

Also, just so you know, Arch has Bluetooth and wifi compatibility even if you don’t install the packages, Gentoo does not. You would need to recompile your kernel with the correct configuration to enable those for your specific card.

Arch is just as bloated as Fedora, Mint or Bazzite. Hell, my Arch is a lot more bloated than any of those. This is Linux, the system is as bloated as you want it to be, but also having stuff installed doesn’t necessarily causes your computer to be slow, programs only execute when you tell them to.

I’m sorry for being blunt, but Arch is very easy and plug-and-play like, if you’re having these sorts of issues my guess is that you’re not familiar with Linux and are doing stuff “wrong” (e.g. installing drivers from a website). Gentoo is a LOT more complicated and will hold your hand a lot less than Arch, I recommend you try something more beginning friendly like Mint, Fedora or Bazzite, learn the basics, learn the “Linux way” of doing stuff, then try Arch again, then, when you have a better reason than because I broke it, you can try Gentoo.

This is not a “you’re too dumb to do it” answer, but imagine someone who’s having issues driving a shift stick car asking how it’s like to rebuild the engine. You’re capable of rebuilding the engine yourself, you’re able to use Gentoo, just not now, learn to walk before you try to bungee jump.

I have over 10 years as a software engineer, and the vast majority of that was Linux. The only two exceptions are my current job where we develop a software that runs on Windows so I need a Windows build box for it (although my laptop is Linux), and my previous job that had a weird windows only policy (didn’t stay too much after that got enforced). So it’s very much doable, depending on what you work with.
