She was kind of nice. But too much go-along-get-along. Didn't have much individual initiative. Always did what everyone else was doing. Boring, if I'm being honest.

Agnus Dei, the lamb of God, is Jesus. He's bound by all four feet, but he has a calm look. There's no struggle. So this is Him going willingly to crucifixtion.
Is there anything else to this? It's a very well rendered ram with its feet tied, but I don't really get any emotional depth.

Fellow I knew was in France and met a lovely lady who gave her name as (pronounced) "on yay."
He went to visit her at her apartment, and couldn't find her name on the bell until he realized it was "Agnes." Ahn-yea.
MiL's middle name was Agnes. She might have hated it less with a French pronunciation.

One year later the guy is in jail for taking customers money and not finishing the job.

Eye of the beholder, I guess. Lamb's expression looks drugged up to me.
It's very nicely rendered. That wool looks so fluffy. I'm having some trouble relating strongly to the presumed religious symbolism.

That's of course way before she converted to Islam, but already there are things that should be theologically concerning to any Christian:
But if we listen to the Rasta man
He can show us how it can be done
To live in peace and live as one
Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb
As if Rastafarianism were compatible with Christianity.
To think that we would leave God so lonely
Most theologians would agree that God is not dependent upon his creation, including emotional dependence. The passages depicting God as cheated on by an unfaithful spouse were metaphors meant to shame the Israelites into stopping the worship of idols.

While you were Deputy District Attorney in Alameda County, California, did you prosecute any people for possession or sale of marijuana?

They were monkeying around with the calendar around that time. All dates were bouncing around as they switched from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. IANM it was original tied somehow to the full moon after passover or something like that.

Not worried. The actual Assassin cult a) usually only target people who threatened them, because they were Ismaili heretics b) restricted themselves to knives *only* and c) were bound by their bosses to make no attempt to escape afterwards.
In other words, they were considerably less aggressive and dangerous than what we've got right now. Most of their legend is made up after the fact BS.

After a decade of "malaise", Americans are simply sick of empty promises and zero results. They feel their lives getting better where it counts: By looking in their wallets. By looking in their refrigerators. By looking in their garages. And they see one and a half political parties fighting tooth and nail against the guy who's making it happen, and practically every "news" outlet telling them it's the end of the world.

You won't regret switching to Trex. Our place in Sussex County has a deck that we converted to it and we've been thrilled with the results for fifteen years now.
Word of advice: do NOT power wash it. Apparently Trex has a different layer near its surface than in its interior and power washing will erode that layer.

In the selection, there was precious little about babies originating from a particular act. It almost seemed like the author imagined that women just get pregnant randomly and forcing a woman to go through this completely random process was torture.

Talking about calculations, I have a huge underground oil tank. There's no gauges on the system to tell how much is remaining. You have to drop a long pole down into it then measures the inches. So the other day my wife sees me writing something down then I told her we have X number of gallons remaining. She asked, "You just figure that out yourself?"
I think she wanted to be impressed by my math skills. Which I suppose I could actually do. But I confessed to looking it up on a chart online.

Now of course I don't know how many people were in that arena; but you should realize that if anyone in the El Paso Fire Dep't were do admit that there were even 6501 people in that auditorium, they would be admitting that they stood by and did nothing while it was pushed to overcapacity, meaning that all of those responsible for handling the situation would be subject to departmental discipline, up to and including termination.
So, since that auditorium had a legal capacity of 6500, all official records will show that it had EXACTLY 6500 people in it - not one more, and not one less.

Even in cold weather, if your commute is a few miles each way to work, there's enough batter for that. Some point in the future, battery tech may get to a point where you can get 500 mile range in -20 weather. Until then, EVs won't be the right option for people who need to drive long distances in cold weather. But they're still fine for the typical commuter driving 15 miles to work each way.

I see it as an upside.
Lazy f*ck leaves a perfectly good job that they would underperform in, because they feel they have better chances elsewhere. Which opens up the job for a more productive worker, who will:
A) Be more productive, improving the economy
B) Be more likely to grow in the position and be promoted, also improving the economy.
And lazy f*ck still has the job mobility to find a job in which their lazy fuckery will be appropriately rewarded.
In a shit economy, lazy f*ck would hang on to that job like grim death, and employer couldn't get rid of them without falling afoul of a zillion Obama-style DoL regulations. And nothing would get done.
TL;DR: A good economy naturally flushes out parasites.

I don't give a fuck who is claiming what. I'm saying that area is 65-35 Dem. So it wouldn't be shocking if a Dem were to get a higher turnout. Chill the fuck out dude.

Not only are you getting shot at, but all that sound hits the walls and the ceiling and comes back in on you. M4 inside a room with no ear pro is LOUD. So you're going deaf AND trying to not get shot.

Actually, I read it again. It was my error. You just couldn't put any organizations or clubs which you belonged to or awards you received which indicated sex, race, religion, blah, blah.
I would be surprised if they hire me. I'm too old and "Pastor" is going to put off people off who aren't actually religious folks or like some of them.
This application process wasn't as funny as the other one which asked if you agreed to certain statements such as, "It's o.k. to steal as long as it's not a large amount"or "It's o.k. to sell illegal drugs to people as long as it doesn't affect their work performance." I'm sure somebody could do a good parody of this sort of thing.

I kinda doubt that anyone will hit the streets for Days of Rage over Jussie Smollett... They're more likely afraid of the Rahmbo. And I doubt he really wants this to come up a hoax after Pelosi, et. al. stuck their withered old necks out to "support Jussie."

As of now, charging stations are 'free'. Could be interesting when people are charged for electricity just like original fossil.

I'm sure this question was asked 120 years ago when people were talking about gas powered cars. Where will all the gas stations and oil refineries be built?

Yes, and the market responded. Independently. Massive transfers of individuals tax monies to the wealthy were not employed.
The fact is, all of the sundry subsidies have been transfers of wealth from the 'have-nots' to the 'haves'. It is morally obscene.

With $2-$2.50 gas like it is now in most of the US (sorry Commiefornia) most hybrids are cheaper to run than a pure EV. That's one of many reasons Tesla is the most-shorted stock in history.

It's o.k. to beat up a fellow employee as long as they're able to perform their necessary functions in the job. Agree/ Disagree.
No; They didn't ask that. I am just amusing myself by replying to my own post and making up stupid work application survey questions.

china. the tesla powerwall is just the first step in a grand plan to build giant battery tankers. they're charged up in china, then driven back here where the batteries are plugged into the grid. flat batteries are shipped back across for recharging.

Prius' are hybrids. In high load conditions (very cold or very hot) they operate on their gas engines.
Posted by: Anon a mouse at February 12, 2019 10:38 AM (6qErC)
I drive a hybrid (don't hate--I have a long commute). Battery capacity is noticeably diminished by the cold, by as much as 10 or 15 percent. When it's hot the capacity is diminished by the fact that the fan for the battery has to blow pretty much constantly. I make a compromise to save money on gas but sometimes that's a big compromise. (And I'm reconsidering it now that gas is more affordable).
And I bailed on work after I got about a quarter of the way there and saw three pickup trucks had slid off the road in the space of 5 miles. Sorry boss, not going to risk my only car just to make it to a meeting.

Most wrong way to eat oysters is to swallow. So if it's unavoidable, be sure to puke on the one who suggested eating them in the first place.
