- Comment on do humans shed more skin when sunbathing? 2 days ago:
Your skin is constantly shedding. The dust you can find In a house is mostly dead skin. Applying sunscreen could make it stick instead of fall off. If it’s dry it could also be dust and sand in the air.
Try scrubbing before going sunbathing to see if it still happens then.

Duke nukem forever didn’t tarnish the older games IMO. Because the games barely have any story to begin with, they are mostly ranked for their gameplay, which is still awesome to this day. At least for 2 and 3d.
Duke1 is nothing too special. But Duke1 wasn’t even too special at time of release.

But only if you do it like the geologists in settlers 2 when they find something in the ground.

Fury road was amazing. I hope furiosa is good, but I’m not too optimistic. But I wasn’t optimistic about fury road either, until I saw it.

Yeah, for smt I just use a heat gun or rework station for repairs. Only part I use an iron for that is when a lead didn’t take. Even then, the solder is already there so just flux is enough.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
Good thinking. In my field we don’t do that. It takes more effort than you’d get out of it by that point. I just get a new roll. But if you’re in a pinch and on your last roll, this is a great idea!
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
Imagine the last part of the solder wire. Not much is left, but you want to use as much as you can, so you feed it anyway even though that last little part makes your finger come dangerously close to the iron.
Usually you just scrap the last part, but OP made a lot of small wires all along the roll, so either you scrap a lot, or burn your fingers trying to use up as much as you can.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
I prefer adding solder while soldering. The solder itself also holds flux, and often when you do it that way you don’t need to add flux yourself. Also if you solder through hole and you add solder to the tip before soldering all the flux dissappears, and you don’t have enough solder for the weld.
And small amounts of solder doesn’t mean short strips, which is what you get when you do what OP posted.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
From feeding tiny bits of solder. Not from soldering.
- Comment on Intrusive thoughts 2 months ago:
Oh this hurts physically. So much frustration when soldering with the small wires. So much wasted solder to save your fingers from burning.
Thanks. I hate it.

As far as I know, the biblical description of angels are in line with the Torah and in extention with the Quran.
But you seem deeply invested in this religion, which is fine by me, but I am not. I see the similarities and just presume that whoever wrote the book read the others. I’m not saying I am right or wrong, or that you are. All I’m saying that the similarities are very much possible and, in my opinion, very probable in a non-religious sense.
Even religions before monotheism are very much alike,and probably stem from the same root. I don’t see anyone pushing for godly intervention or prophecies for that. But in all probability, the coincidence in that is probably similar to the coincidence in the Islam.

By that time Christianity existed, and most of the Middle East was the Roman empire. It’s not far fetched. The old testament of Christianity is basically the Torah texts freely translated and somewhat changed, and Christianity was by that time, thanks to constantine, the most widely spread religion in the Roman empire. It’s not a miracle or a coincidence. People traveled then, too. It’s about as far fetched as an American-born Buddhist these days. Not common, but it happens.
In fact, the silk road has existed for centuries, if not millenia by then. If they can trade with places as far as China, it’s not far fetched for a religion proven to be inspired by both Judaism and Christianity to have a lot of similarities to have traveled a little over the Roman empire’s borders.

They wrote it down, Monks (or the religion’s equivalent) copied them. Religious leaders read them aloud. It’s not hard to understand.
- Comment on Scallops 3 months ago:
As always, people who could read, read religious texts for people who cannot. There’s no coincidence, just telling and retelling of stories once made up way before.

Are you implying doom is not palatable? It’s a matter of taste, but of all the old FPS games, Doom is one of the most replayable in my opinion. Even without nostalgia goggles. The gameplay is tight, the weapons are timeless. The only thing that dates it other than the obvious graphics, is the level design can be a little tedious.

Any “boomer shooter” is a callback to the 90 early 00s shooters. For example: Dusk, Postal: Braindead and Warhammer 40k: Boltgun
Lots of indie horror games have the early 3d era look to them.
Basically if you want visuals like this, the indie scene is where you should look
