Birds are reptiles though.

Well, ideally that would mean you are able to increase production with the same people and produce more for the same budget. Not cut heads.

What the fuck do punch card ballots have to do with pen and paper?

He definitely was on the more poor side. At least when Jesus was born.

When a son was born and presented to the temple, the parents would pay an offering. That was to be a one year old lamb for the burnt offering and one pigeon or turtledove for the sin offering, but there was a provision for the poor that could not afford to give a lamb to give two pigeons or two turtledoves.

Mary and Joseph gave two pigeons, which under the purification law would only be allowed if they were poor.

By the time he attended the wedding at Cana, Joseph was already dead. The last time he was mentioned was at the temple when Jesus was 12, and by the time of crucifizion Jesus entrusted Mary’s care to John. That wouldn’t have happened if Joseph were still alive.

Also, the book of John doesn’t mention any anointing oils whatsoever at the Wedding at Cana. Nothing in the passage marks it as particularly upscale.

John 2

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

In fact, the master of the banquet makes mention that the normal way hosts do it is to serve what good wine they have first, then the cheapest wine once everyone is drunk, but that the host of that wedding seemingly deviated from that and served the best wine last (though they had actually run out and that was unknown to the master of the banquet). More likely is that they served all the wine they could afford already, and it wasn’t all that great of wine.

That plus the fact that Mary “was there” and instructing the servants, and then “Jesus and all of his disciples had also been invited”, it would be much more likely that it was a close family friend of Mary’s that came from more modest means.

Sure, but that’s not gonna change either. Is anything, more people switching to EV or less fuel intensive transportation (including the trucking industry), then oil drops in price and those other uses also drop in price.

Venom is a type of poison. Specifically its a naturally produced poison that is injected via a stinger, fangs, or barbs.

Two different rivers. Kansas City is on the Missouri River, St Louis is on the Mississippi River.

Almost like rivers are a major economic driver or something….

.ml only has 600 users per day. It’s a non issue.

World is emptying because 95% of users don’t actually interact in the first place. No platform will succeed when you only have a few users actually creating content.

.world doesn’t openly support .ml. They’ve defederated from the other big tankie instances.

But they’re literally the creators and active developers of Lemmy. Remaining federated allows them to have updates on time. It’s extremely easy to block entire instances too. Just go to your settings and block .ml.

It sure ain’t the mountain west…

Officially it is the Midwest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States

They’re never going to defederate from .ml. That’s the main Lemmy instance and the one the developers of Lemmy itself run.

The first four of those also apply to Lemmy too though. Depending on the instance, Lemmy mods are even worse than Reddit mods. And there is no “authority” to appeal to here either. The only difference is that there aren’t advertisers that they’re trying to appease, it’s just whatever neckbeard you pissed off that will have a vendetta against you.

I can guarantee you can get a pretty nice hotel for less than that without bullshit fees. Anyone still using Airbnb or any of the other short term rentals deserve what they get.

I don’t know why people expect massive jumps every single year. There’s only so much you can really change year over year at this point.

You don’t need to upgrade every damn year. Apple supports each phone for a minimum of 5-6 years.

Important to note that police only sought the warrant after the women mentioned to them that they had talked on Facebook messenger about it.

Never talk to the police.

He’s always been a shit head like this. He just got rich enough that he thought he could get away with showing his true colors.

Richard Nixon tried to nuke North Korea because he was drunker than a skunk and Kissinger had to tell the joint chiefs of staff to ignore him.

It’s not trans people we need to worry about. It’s putting mentally weak and fragile men in charge of things.

Sealioning is the constant bad faith, feigning ignorance, asking for evidence of everything under the guise of “just asking questions”. Then ignoring any evidence presented and moving on to the next demand. Used to shut down discourse entirely.

Tankies are leftists that defend or deny the atrocities committed by authoritarian communist regimes like the Soviet Union or the CCP. It was first used to describe communists in Great Britain that defended the Soviet Union for using tanks to crush anti-communist revolutions.

Gonna be real fun to see the crash test rating.
