What is a music engraver? I could google it, but I would appreciate a music engraver actually telling me vs some random page on the internet.

I exclusively read nonfiction until I had a traumatic event happen to me. After that, I read fiction nonstop for several years. Fiction was the only thing that could help me process it. (Note: not escape the trauma, but help me process it.

You are absolutely correct. Thanks for catching that.

> Acedia comes from the latin acedia , which itself comes from the Greek akedia , which translates as “lack of care”. Prior to the Christian era, ~the word denoted the act of not burying one’s dead. Thus it connotes a dehumanization~.

It is interesting that the first two comments on here are in relation to the living. Yes we should strive to reduce the suffering of the living to the fullest extent possible. But, just as much, the dead do deserve our attention and respect

I likewise appreciate your replies and thoughtfulness. You did remind me of one of my favorite "arguments" for God: > There is the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. > Therefore there must be a God. > (You either see this on

Thanks for your reply! I wasn't trying to be spicy, just trying to write up a semi-thorough response in the middle of some tasks. I appreciate your feedback. There is something certainly to be said about logical proofs of God being inh

Does anybody know why Bulma has a large number of gambling companies sponsoring it? If you look at the sponsor list you will see a huge portion is gambling related. Does it offer something that that industry finds particularly valuable?

This may come as a surprise to you but I have "religious" faith because of evidence, not lack thereof. As to how it operates on a day to day basis in my life, I have faith in God just as I have faith in my wife: it is a relation

I think this is on point, but does point to the limits/faults in his work. I recall being very energized by Tillich in my youth and at the very beginnings of my religious exploration, but was very surprised that the sort of "ambig

To be clear, TikTok's main threat is persuasion and opinion manipulation. Data privacy is a nice thing to talk about, but pales in comparison to being able to influence what a huge portion of a foreign adversary population is watching.

I don't think it's fair that this is being downvoted. It's a valid take, even if one disagrees with it. Let's break down the original quote a bit: > On the mountain the limestone shelves and climbs in ragged escarpmen

Nope you’re not off. I chose McCarthy’s earliest novel because it is him at his most “impressionistic” and indeed many sentences require multiple read through to determine what’s being said. But that’s the artistic pleasure in it: a scene i

One of the funny things about McCarthy is how he is associated with minimalism. It forces you to really think about what "minimalism" means. While his punctuation is minimal, his writing is not "short". But his writing i

Investigating details that are not “all that important” is I would argue what makes Moby Dick a masterpiece. Many are bored to death by whaling details and look to “improve” Melville’s work by cutting that out and keeping only the “plot”.

I don’t know much about it, other than knowing some of my favorite bands have huge followings there. Can anybody educate me how the Japanese metal scene functions? Are there certain genres that have a hold or is it totally diverse?

Love S&M 1&2, “All Within My Hands” being maybe my favorite from the two albums. One thing of note: I essentially only listen to metal and classical. Everything else is dead boring to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Into the Storm” is just brilliant. Punching intro, vocals come in for a little “soft” intro themselves, and then vocals go hard (“where can I run”) and we’re off to the races. I’m typically a guitar guy, but man I really enjoy Hansi’s ta

Interesting that Evergreen Bank Group went straight from 0.35% to 5% in a little over a month. Every other bank had gradual rate increases. Anybody have any info on this?
