I guess wars and murder etc are ok then. The victims just never should've been born!

We should start encasing politicians in bronze, might help things

I can see why you have that position, and it is absolutely valid. What I reacted to is the idea of it being faith vs religion - but if you have faith/believe in a deity or something divine, that would by definition be a religious belief, no? But this doesn't necessarily mean it's an organized religion like Christianity. This is what I was getting at with my poorly worded comment.

The underlying issue for this kind of conversation is that when people say "religion", most people think highly organized religions like Christianity or Islam and such. But what if a person has their own or (for lack of a better term) a "non-traditional" belief system that includes some sort of deity/deities? Is that not religion? Maybe i see the word with a wider definition that is wrong, idk,

Anyway, as other commenter said - religion can be absolutely used as a tool for power, or to have excuses for terrible behavior. Thing is, the people that do would just use another tool if no religion existed.

As for the scientific argument - we don't know (or at least I don't) but Greek philosophers and scientists didn't live or work in non-religious environment. There was religion present and yet they built important foundations for science today. Same with people in Arabic world, afaik. Hell, there were scientists that were Christians as well. It boils down to one thing - if there is organized religion with people at top who use it as a tool for power.

So to summarize - no, I don't think religion in general is inherently bad. It's about what people do with it. And the problem starts at a point where you want and need other people to conform to your religious beliefs.

IT'S HAPPENING!

So exciting if true.

You really nailed it. I'll take it one step further though - religion as a concept is not the problem. Having gods, holidays rites and rituals - that's all good.

It's religion as an organization, when it gives people power which they can misuse when we start having problems.

Your way of saying it is way clearer though.

That's what I figured, but I'm not expert on how things work so wanted someone who knows more chime in. Sad times

Since it is server side, will this effect the alternative front ends?

Depends on the place I guess. I'm pretty sure some are updated

And once you are finished you can probably start over to stay up to date

I think OP has better idea wit reusing it first before recycling. No point in recycling a functioning phone when you may have a use for it still.

I tried MagicEarth for navigation and quite happy with it. It is not open source, but should be privacy respecting (not seen anything as of now that would suggest they don't mean it). Even has trafic info (though not as reliable as Waze/Google). A middle road for when you want to degoogle but also have some convinience in places where OSM is not as up to date.

Though I don't think it has additional details for the businesses and such like Google Maps, it's purely for navigation.

It's manned by military personel who should expect not having comfortable 1g all the time (either way doesn't matter as Star Wars has magic gravity anyways)

Could still establish orbit and adjust spin in a way so they are tidally locked

It's Star Wars so most likely nr 1.

Quite

How so?

I assume you mean greatswords and such? Those are cool for sure, but I can see people having reservations due to safety for sparring nd such - though correct me if I'm wrong, those were not much used in duel scenarios and such - how do you generally use them, outside of solo drills?

Also, in terms of safety - I just saw a review of a zweihander trainer by Regenyei, looked interesting. Basically an upscaled longsword feder by the looks of it - unfortunately the guy only talked about it with sword in hand, and it was a close-up so it was not very well done review, but it might interest you these exist now. I at least didn't see any up until now.

One is all you need, really. It worked and held up really well - I just indulged myself because I loved the design and it was super discounted.

I also had the first one with both money clip and strap, but liked the clip more so went with dual money clip for mu current one.

The one I'm most familiar with is longsword, as that's what our group trains with predominantly. I also really love one handed sword&buckler - I'm not necessarily good with it but it's super fun.

Ridge wallet is the best purchase I made in a long time. So great I didn't feel bad about buying a second one for a cool design and for a dual money clip setup a few years later.
