Transubstantiation is kind of in the Bible. Matthew 26:26-28

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

The discussion of transubstantiation is just how literal “my body/blood” is.

Good idea, but again: wool socks will stay surprisingly warm even while wet.

If you’re in the arctic circle long enough, it helps to have many options though.

Layers are the way to go.

1. Long Underwear, a long sleeve breathable undershirt, good WOOL socks
2. A sweater or other medium-thickness top garment.
3. Waterproof snow pants and coat.

Good boots, preferably waterproof if you’ll be in the snow a fair amount. Definitely good so you have better grip on snowy/icy ground. Thin “liner” gloves and thick waterproof gloves to go over those. A warm hat that covers your ears (I really appreciated my trapper hat when I went to Tromsø).

Avoid cotton. Cotton is horrible at insulating if it gets wet, as opposed to wool which can keep you warm while fully drenched.

Useful alternative app: Google calendar. Or any of a hundred other calendar apps.

There are specialized scheduling apps for most things as well. I know for sure there are a ton of gardening apps.

Donald Trump won the popular vote in an election with record setting voter turnout. Lack of democracy from the electoral college or voter suppression didn’t do this. People voting for Trump did.

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

He got old.

US voter turnout is abysmal, so half of the voters means like 30% of the people.

Never feel bad for pulling insane shenanigans in munchkin. That’s liberally what it’s for.

Dude, just use th.

Hey look! Someone who only read the headline!

This is like, technically a weapon. It’s a tool for destroying enemy missiles in the air before they impact their target. It’s about as purely defensive of a weapon as you can get.

The US soldiers are operating the missile defense system, so there’s not room for Israel to “creatively” repurpose them. They aren’t assisting in any missions in Palestine, they’re purely defending against Iranian missiles.

Humans.

The current western political landscape is not the first time immigrants have been a political scapegoat. This has been a recurring theme for thousands of years.

Terminator 2 is in a weird spot since it’s a sequel to an 80s movie but is itself a 90s movie. But I’d nominate it for this award.

$100M of $VT, secure my ultra-comfortable retirement right then and there.

So like, the ad didn’t even say anything about the genocide in Palestine? It just starred a half-Palestinian model?
