Let me know how you like it. I just used my Dad's mobile starlink this past week and it worked really well. I'm considering switching.

and they make great, easy to use garden fertilizer.

Get the basic feed and notifications working first. The other stuff is nice, but they don't matter if the basic feed doesn't work. I do want both basic and long form notes in my feed and need pictures. The rest is gravy.

When I lived in South Florida, I went to a Jamaican restaurant that served curried goat. It was quite good, but it had shards of bone mixed in with the meat. I always imagined someone in the back beating a goat with a sledgehammer to soften and break up the bones. I don't know how the shards of bone were made.

This can't go on forever. When are we going to see things fall apart? I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

My husband was a delegate for Ron Paul and I was an alternate at the RNC convention for Ron Paul (2012?). It was eye opening. Ron Paul is amazing. The RNC, is corrupt to the extreme.

I did. Thank you. I tried to respond to it, but I guess it didn't go through. I'll use the money to fund giving away books as a ministry to people. So far, I've given away more than I've sold, but it is meant as a ministry, not a money making enterprise. Of course it would be nice to break even instead of going in the hole.

I may go back. I switched because I could copy and paste and not have to do any formatting to what I pasted because it carried over the formatting. With Habla.news which I used first and the most, I had to redo most of the formatting and it wouldn't let me italicize or bold inside a quote.

Neither is perfect. I just have to decide which features are most important to me and which anomalies are most irritating to me.

The King James is the most poetic version and it is pretty accurate. I think the ESV and NASB are slightly more accurate because they are word for work translations that are based on older copies of the Bible. That being said, I don't think there are any major errors in the KJV.

The NLT is a paraphrase, but is probably the most accurate paraphrase. It makes it easier to understand, but can introduce misinterpretation errors. My son has down syndrome and so the KJV, ESV, and NASB are hard for him to understand. The NLT seems to be the best compromise between staying true to the original texts and being understandable for him. Generally I refuse to use any paraphrase Bibles.

I agree.

If you use the NIV, make sure you use the original NIV which was pretty good. The new version went woke.

One time my phone tried to install it without my permission. I was raging mad.

It did it again today.

I'm betting if they stopped the illegals, most of the trash would disappear.

Do not put your faith in king makers.

Yep, they think they know more than everyone else, but they are just more indoctrinated than everyone else.

Under normal circumstances, I scoff at everyone calling each and every election "the most important election ever," but in this case, I think it is probably be true. I'm concerned if the election goes the wrong way that we won't have elections, free speech, health freedom, or gun rights anymore.

Yikes!

Your deep description of word meanings and helping to define thanks made me think of going to France with my family when I was in highschool.

My dad is very bad with languages. We went into a French restaurant for dinner and a lady offered to take his coat. My dad, making his best attempt, says in a loud American voice, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!" They(the French) and we (my mom, my sister and I) all broke down laughing. He was making his best attempt to say, "merci" (thank you), but it sounded like a cry for help.

I'm really enjoying listening to the Renewing Your Mind podcast, that is mostly R.C. Sproul sermons. I've got his book, "Hard Sayings" in my Amazon cart to buy soon. He really speaks God's truth and doesn't shy away from the hard sayings like so many pastors.

I've been reading a lot about DMSO from a doctor I follow. I'm pasting one paragraph that relates to neuropathy and giving the link to the whole article.

"For example, the leading DMSO researcher found that 50% of patients with Raynaud’s syndrome had their symptoms eliminated with DMSO and that thrombophlebitis responds excellently to DMSO. Likewise, DMSO has been shown to improve diabetic circulatory impairments such as peripheral neuropathy, or diabetic ulcers (where one study of hundreds of patients reported over a 94% treatment success rate) and prevent future amputations."

In the US DMSO can be ordered in the US. Some are pharmaceutical grade, but they have to be marketed as a solvent rather than a health treatment because pharmaceutical companies don't like competition from cheap alternatives that actually cure conditions. They like drugs that "manage" chronic conditions because those make more money.

Any excuse to kill off whites, males, Christians, and conservatives.

We've been in Luke a lot lately. My pastor is going through Luke right now and my son's Awana program is going through Luke and we are studying Luke 4 right now.

If I've missed responding to anyone, sorry. I usually use coracle, but coracle won't show me any comments or likes since 10/6, so I was missing them. I've been able to see a few on Iris, but I find Iris less user friendly.

Great picture.

I almost exclusively read books on paper. Sometimes I'll take my kindle when I travel and don't want the weight of a bunch of books, but otherwise I stick to paper. Reading on electronics messes with your sleep. I also like books that can't be changed or that I can make notes in or highlight (since I mostly read nonfiction)

I mostly read nonfiction because when I read fiction (a story), I like to sit down and read it cover to cover in one sitting even if it is a 500-1000 page book. I have too many responsibilities to do that now, so I stick to nonfiction that is easier to read a small portion at a time.

I've found it baffling that the Biden/Harris administration has not even pretended to care about the destruction and death of people by Hurricane Helene. They should want to look like they care right before an election, even if they don't actually care. The fact that they have been so nonchalant and have actually been hindering rescue efforts makes me think that they think they have fixed the election.

They may have fixed election machines and counters. They may have an "October Surprise", like another pandemic or war which will allow them to either suspend elections or go to 100% mail-in ballots that can easily be miscounted. I don't have any evidence , but I've never seen a whole party show such disdain and lack of empathy towards voters right before an election.

You are likely right that people will finally stand up if there is an obvious fix like 100% mail-in ballots or suspended elections.

For what it is worth, they did just have a bird flu event just like they had Event 201 right before the covid "pandemic".

I don't approve of the unions holding the country hostage in the best of situations, but holding the country hostage, when there are Americans in their area who have lost everything and may die if help and supplies doesn't reach them soon, is horrible.

I expected useless from the government, but they've gone from useless and incompetent, to causing massive harm and preventing individuals and organizations from helping the poor victims of the storm. It's time to start abolishing departments until the whole behemoth is gone.

I tend to think that the cheating will be absolutely massive because those in charge have broken so many laws, if their cheating is exposed they will be ruined, so they will do worse than they have done before. I also think that Trump will get way more real votes. What I have no idea about is whether Trump can win by enough extra votes, so that the cheating can be overcome. Sadly, I have my doubts.

I've also always laughed at every election being called "The most important election ever." I actually think this is the election that determines whether or not we have any freedom or not (not that we have much left) and whether votes matter at all going forward or whether we become like Venezuela and Iran, where they hold "elections", but the results are predetermined.

I admit that Americans are usually given two choices, that are acceptable to those in power, to vote for. Even though I think Trump has some major faults, I don't think he is one of those "acceptable" choices and has messed up their system.

We'll see.

Cherry picking verses and parts of verses, especially out of context, is definitely very bad, but these days I see people trying to make spiritual arguments based on how they feel and not referencing Scripture at all. That is even worse.
