Simple mm ruler

In the realm of Asmonia, four kingdoms—Armatius Empire, Mavia, Otarenth Dynasty, and Pruzodora—vie for power and control over the lands. For centuries, Armatius and Mavia have been locked in a bitter feud, each seeking dominance over the other. Meanwhile, Otarenth and Pruzodora have remained neutral, harboring ancient secrets and treasures within their borders.
As tensions escalate between Armatius and Mavia, rumors spread of an ancient kingdom hidden deep within the enchanted waters of Pruzodora. It's said that this kingdom holds immeasurable riches and mystical artifacts, capable of shifting the balance of power in the ongoing conflict.
To uncover the truth and claim the treasures for themselves, emissaries from Otarenth, Mavia and Pruzodora, along with their entourages, are invited to a grand ball hosted by the rulers of Armatius. The ball is intended to be a diplomatic affair, but beneath the surface, alliances are formed and betrayals plotted.
Is there poison in the wine? Should you dance with that adversary? Who’s listening to the whispers between you and your friend? Are they even friend, could they be foe all along?

Mattana Ministry Welcomes You To: Weekly Bible Study: 14 May 2024 Theme: Bible Basics Explained/Faith Scripture: Heb. 10:35-39 & Heb. 11:1-2 Message: God Exists
Faith may seem a small thing, but it can lead people to some extraordinary actions. Consider this story from Romania. The year was 1989, and the Communist government ruled. The Communism that ruled much of Eastern Europe in the 20th century was built on atheistic ideology and philosophy. Though the government allowed church, it kept a tight grip, and often jailed and tortured pastors and believers who defied their rule.
In the town of Timisoara, a local pastor named Tokes, who was teaching the Bible faithfully, was commanded to leave his home and church because he had criticized the government for human rights violations. On the day the police were to evict their pastor, local Christians surrounded the home to stop them. A crowd grew quickly, and the army was called in to stop them. Shots fired. Many wounded, many killed. But then something incredible occurred. The people didn’t fight back. Instead they knelt and prayed. Can we picture that? Prayer against bullets.
Yet the sight was too much for the soldiers. They refused to shoot any more. By this time, the whole town was there. Another pastor named Dugulescu climbed to the balcony of the local opera house and addressed the crowd. He recited something, only a few lines, and two simple words struck deep in the hearts of the people. They began chanting. Then shouting. Two words in defiance of oppression. Two words that cried out for freedom, equality, and dignity. Again and again, they shouted in unison: God exists.
We’ll come back to that story. For now, those same two words are at the very heart of this little thing called faith. So what is faith? Is it just another word for belief? I believe in God - so that’s faith. Right? Well, James reminds us that demons believe in God, and they tremble over that belief. So faith is more than that.
So what is it then? Is it an action of the heart or a conviction of the mind? Or maybe it’s just a feeling in our gut of what we know is true.
To find some answers, we’re turning to the book of Hebrews, and a chapter known as the Hall of Faith. Hebrews 11. The chapter reads like an Old Testament hall of heroes. It’s a highlight reel from every prophet and warrior who ever made it onto a Sunday School flannel board. If we grew up with Bible heroes, we’ll recognize these names. And even if we missed out on all that, there’s something about these heroes - something they all have in common. Many epic stories, countless grand adventures, one shared attribute. And it’s not just courage, or compassion, or integrity. All of those are beautiful and necessary. But this one, this one changes them all. Faith transforms all of our virtues because it gives them direction and purpose. It points everything about us back to God.
So what is faith? Hebrews 11 verse 1:
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is confidence. The Greek word here can also be translated substance. Faith gives substance to the things that we hope for. Hope is about the future anticipation of good things coming. But hope alone is ephemeral a dream with nothing tangible to grab hold of. It takes faith to give hope substance, and confidently grab ahold of it here in the present. And back in verse 1, faith is also assurance about what we do not see.
Now not seen is not the same as not real. The Greek words here carry a sense that means not yet seen. Just because we don’t see it yet doesn’t mean it isn’t real. That’s where hope comes in. Hebrews 6 calls hope an “anchor for our souls.” It keeps us grounded, stops us from drifting.
See hope without faith is just wishful thinking. Like a lottery ticket - I hope this one changes my life, but it probably won’t. But hope with faith is like a bus ticket. Sure, the road might be rough and my fellow passengers can occasionally get on my nerves, but my ticket says home, and I know that my bus driver will get me there.
And verse 2 tells us:
“This is what the ancients were commended for” (Hebrews 11:2). The ancients here refer to Old Testament heroes, and the rest of the chapter reminds us of their stories. Fantastic stories. But they’re not just here to tell a good story. This chapter was written to encourage us. Chapter 10 ended with a powerful call to stand strong to persevere in the face of trial. Back in 10:35,
“Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised”(Hebrews 10:35b-36). And chapter 10 ends with one essential Old Testament quote from Habakkuk:
“The righteous shall live by faith” (Hebrews 10:38). Remember, righteous means right with God. And in the Bible it’s the only way to Heaven. And Hebrews reminds us that when we’re right with God, faith is how we live. That short verse is quoted throughout the New Testament.

Background: This is a follow-up to this post, this is the initial ultrasound report:

"Palpable lesion at the 9:00 radian right breast measuring 17 mm. This is favoured to represent a fibroadenoma however the surface margins are slightly irregular, and ultrasound-guided biopsy is recommended for pathologic confirmation"

The description said my little pal was hypoechoic, irregular, unoriented, rough, slightly lobulated and vascular. All bad signs, right? While waiting for the biopsy I was spiralling badly, crying every day and thinking I had breast cancer at 24 (which is rare, but it happens). After getting the biopsy back, it came out as a fibroadenoma with usual ductal hyperplasia.
They gave me the option to 'watch it' every 6 months, or taking it out. Since the fibroadenoma grew a few mm in the week between the US and the biopsy, I decided to get it taken out before it got bigger and started to hurt.
My initial measurements were 17 x 14 x 11 and after the surgery they were 33 x 23 x 14 mm. It grew quite a bit in 2 months. I didn't know it at the time, but I was pregnant. I didn't know among other things because I had an IUD and I wasn't getting any periods, the pregnancy was ectopic and I ended up needing emergency surgery because I was dying, but that's another story.
The Surgery: It was very simple and straightforward, the whole thing took around 20 minutes at most. It was done under local anesthesia, so I was fully awake.
The surgeon touched the fibroadenoma area and drew a small line with a pen, 1-2 inches or so. He then proceeded to numb my tit (roughly as painful as the biopsy), and started cutting the area.
I didn't look at it, but essentially he 'dug' into the breast tissue, located the fibroadenoma, sectioned it and removed it. On my end, that involved a lot of strange sensations and some discomfort. Nothing quite prepares you to feel they're pulling your breast, I felt like my tit was being stretched like an elastic band, but it actually wasn't! I heard flesh cutting noises which was quite horrifying (if you do this, bring headphones with you).
After it was done, he stitched me with dissolvable stitches and I saw my little pal, Melvin, which looked like a mix between a frozen white shrimp and a chicken McNugget. The US made my tumor sound horrifying, but the surgeon said it didn't look like anything 'fun' or suspicious, but just in case, he'd send it to pathology to confirm biopsy. The second biopsy confirmed the initial diagnosis, a simple fibroadenoma.
The recovery has been smooth, after the surgery I was told not to shower for 24h and not to do heavy lifting for 1-2 weeks. The post-surgery didn't really hurt, I didn't even need to take painkillers. I got a yellow bruise which makes it look like Jackie Chan kicked me in the tit, but the bruise is not as gnarly as the biopsy one. I will have a follow-up with the surgeon next week to confirm I'm good to heavy lift and check the healing, but so far, it looks like this is over for now.
I will keep checking my breasts every month (not too often ladies! Otherwise changes are hard to notice) and if I find another lump I will get it checked out. Fibroadenomas are very common, that's what the surgeon told me, some women just get one and done whereas others have multiple and they just watch them.
In my case, taking it out was the right choice because it was growing pretty fast, possibly partly influenced by the pregnancy hormones. If I had waited 6 months, it'd have been bigger, the scar more noticeable and it'd probably have been causing pain.
Some pointers:

• Breasts can be full of lumps, and most of the time they're harmless, but it's important to be familiar with your breasts because that's when you can spot concerning changes. Peace of mind is worth spending a few extra minutes in the shower once a month checking your breasts (don't check them too often, spotting changes is harder that way.
  
• Don't read too much into the lump characteristics, I had all the weird, 'bad signs' but the radiologist thought it was a fibroadenoma, and it was just a fibroadenoma (confirmed twice by pathology)
  
• If you take the 'wait and watch' approach, there is a possibility the lump grows and you need it taken out anyway, but with a bigger scar than it'd have been 6 months earlier
  
• Even if your lump turns out to be the bad C, please don't despair, within all the shittiness, it's still one of the most researched forms of cancer and treatment options are getting better and more effective by the day.
  

Maybe you guys already talked about that in the past, but I would like to take advantage of the future EU5 to make some discussion about integration feature.
As you know, to take the full control of personal union land, we have the choice between:

• Waiting for the good luck and get an annexation event when the ruler die.
• Integrating the PU with the diplomatic integration option.

For EU4
If we start to integrate a PU with diplo cost, the % of integration should be taken in consideration for the event that is triggered at the death of the ruler.
For EU5
Integrating a country should be influenced by other factors:

• If the country has the same culture, is in the same culture group, same religion, distance from the master's capital, etc, the cost should decrease or increase.
• We should be able to integrate some part (states by states ?). If I am plying Spain and I have a PU on Aragon, I should be able to integrate the Aragon land for less diplo point, and let the Aragon Italian part alongside.

If I have a PU over Byzantium, it should be more difficult to integrate them if they are still orthodox.
A PU with is cultural group unified should be harder to integrate than a multicultural country, etc.
We should have some events with malus or bonus while integrating a country, like rebellions or a support.
Those would improve this part of the game which are very simple IMO.
If you are playing Spain, it is the same difficulty to integrate Portugal and Russia (without taking dev cost in consideration),

Hey there :). Just a short question from me. I do want to record the audio from the microfreak and edit it in my DAW (in my case Waveform). I heard that you need an audio interface for recording audio. So theoretically a simple 3.5 mm chinch to usb c would do the job, right? Appreciate your answers :)

I made a post earlier asking how to access saves for pico 8 and I figured it out using native pico 8 standalone wrapper. And the amazing news is that it utilizes Retroarch so you get 100% retroarch compatibility with this guide. You will get ability for Save Files Pico 8 Box Art Custom Pico 8 games renaming with the this guide
Go to Package manager and add Pico 8 Standalone (Fake) from Verified Tab. (Don’t worry, we just need to create a tab for Pico-8 in the emulators section, but it won’t actually use the Fake version.) Add Pico-8 Standalone from Experts Tab as well and now just add the packages and exit the package manager.
Make sure Wifi is ON and go into Expert (add this from package manager if you don’t see it in the “Apps” Section near the bottom. When you are in Expert, you should see Pico-8. Go into the REAL one if you have fake and real and just make sure to Favourite all your games.
Once you favourited all your games, you should see “splore” when you go into Pico-8 from Expert Tab. Now just power OFF your MM/MM+ and take your SD card and insert it into your computer.
Next Steps are very simple don’t worry. And you’ll also get Box Art using the method.
Go into your SD card then “Emu” then “Pico” then Right-Click on “config.json” and open with Text EditoNotePad.
You will see “rompath”: “../../Roms/Pico”, add a /splore after the Pico. So it should be
“rompath”: “../../Roms/Pico/splore”,
Make sure to make “splore” lowercase and add the comma after the quotations.
Do the same thing for the line underneath where it says “imgpath” if you do it correctly it should look like
“imgpath”: “../../Roms/Pico/splore”,
Now you should have Box Art for ALL your Pico-8 games and it should use RetroArch upon launch.
I would also do these steps for Pico that is under RApp->Pico-8->config.json This is where Pico-8 is stored in the Expert Tab. So do the same exact steps as above for this config file as well and once you do. Just eject the SD card, insert it into MM+ boot it up and you’re done.
When go into the Games section you should see Pico and once you go into that. You should see ALL your games. Just load them up and check if it is using RetroArch instead of Pico. It will use All RetroArch shortcuts instead of the pico ones.
You also have the ability to rename your Pico game files. Just go back into your computer when the SD card is in your computer and find where the games are stored and simply rename them but keep the .png at the end.
Hopefully this helps to make your pico 8 game experience just like a regular RetroArch one with Save Files, Custom Overlays and everything else RetroArch offers for emulation

The Purpose of Life for Man

One of the most direct verses on the subject of "the meaning (or purpose) of (human) life" in the Bible can be found in Revelation:

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."-Revelation 4:11

This, of course, should prompt us to ask what exactly does God take pleasure in?
Conversely, what doesn't He take pleasure in?

"Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"-Micah 6:6-8

God does not take pleasure in mere outward religiosity and ritual, but rather finds honest acts of love towards Him and others as more important when pertaining to our fulfillment of what God expects from us as His creation. God takes great pleasure in us doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with Him. This is what He requires of us. In other words...

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."-Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

The Book of Ecclesiastes is an existential treatise on the futility of finding any meaning or fulfillment in life apart from God. In it, "the Preacher" (or "Teacher" in some translations) explores the limits of human experiences which may provide meaning or fulfillment in this life before the author of the book inevitably concludes that the only thing we can do that has any kind of meaning or permanence in the end is fearing God and keeping His commandments. The reason for this is because the march of time and our own mortality effectively make most human endeavors hevel. The Hebrew word "hevel" is translated as vanity in the King James.
The following is taken from BibleProject:

In Hebrew, hevel literally refers to “vapor” or “smoke.” The teacher uses this word 38 times throughout the book of Ecclesiastes as a metaphor to describe how life is temporary and fleeting, like a wisp of smoke, but also how life is an enigma or paradox. Smoke appears solid, but when you try to grab it, it’s like nothing is there.

[...]

The author’s basic goal is to target all of the ways we try to build meaning and purpose in life apart from God and then let the teacher deconstruct them. The author thinks that people spend most of their time investing energy and emotion in things that ultimately have no lasting meaning or significance. And so he allows the teacher to give us a reality check.

The Preacher gives us a "reality check" by demonstrating how time and death effectively make things like scientific and artistic discovery (1:10-11), mirth (2:1), alcohol (2:3), architecture (2:4), amassing property (2:7-8), and luxury (2:8) all hevel. Materialism and hedonism fail to fulfill, and though wisdom and righteousness are acknowledged by the preacher to be advantageous, the righteous and wise are still often victims of injustice and unfairness in the world while the wicked get to prosper and have longevity at times (1:13-18). Generally, your life will probably be better by living in the wisdom given in Proverbs (Ecc. 7:11-12; 9:13-18), but it's no guarantee that you will have a good life as bad things still happen to good people, and good things still happen to bad people. This isn't entirely "hevel" but it's confusing and disorienting because things don't always work out the way we think they should in this life.
Again, from BibleProject:

So what’s the way forward in the midst of all this hevel? Paradoxically, the teacher discovers that the key to truly enjoying life is accepting hevel, acknowledging that everything in your life is totally out of your control. About six different times, at the bleakest moments in his dialogue, the teacher suddenly talks about “the gift of God,” which is the enjoyment of the simple, good things in life such as friendship, family, a good meal, or a sunny day.
You and I can’t control the most important things in our lives. Nothing is guaranteed, and, strangely, that’s the beauty of it. When I adopt a posture of complete trust in God, it frees me to simply enjoy life as I actually experience it and not as I think it ought to be. In the end, even my expectations about life, my hopes and dreams, are all “hevel, hevel. Everything under the sun is hevel.”
The teacher’s words come to an end, and the author takes over, bringing the book to a close. He says that it is very important to hear what the teacher has to say. He likens the teacher’s words to a shepherd’s staff with a goad, a pointy end that will hurt when it pokes you. But that pain can ultimately steer you in the right direction towards greater wisdom.
The author warns us not to take the teacher’s words too far. You can spend your entire life buried in books trying to answer the existential puzzles of human life. Don’t exhaust yourself, he says. You’ll never get there. Instead, the author offers his own conclusion that we should “fear God and keep his commands; this is the whole duty of humans. For God will bring every deed into judgment, every hidden thing, whether good or evil” (Ec. 12:13-14).

Fearing the Lord doesn’t guarantee success in this life, but it is the right thing to do, and ultimately God will clear the "hevel" and bring His justice on all we have done. Therefore, we ought to keep God's commandments.
Through Jesus, we see the Bible clearing the confusion many have, and still have, about God's commandments and what exactly they are (in essence, at least):

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."-Matthew 22:37-40

The apostle Paul puts it like this:

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."-Galatians 5:14

The apostle John, like this:

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."-1 John 4:16

In other words, the first and second greatest commandments can be seen as inextricably intertwined, as one cannot truly love God without loving their fellow man, and vice versa.
So, to put it bluntly, the meaning, or purpose, of (human) life according to the Bible is simply love.

"What Does It Mean to Love Biblically?"

But, what exactly is love anyway? We know that, according to the apostle John, God is love. But, what does that mean exactly?
The ancient Greeks had anywhere between four and eight different words for love (depending on the source):

• Storge: affection
  
• Philia or Phileo: friendship
  
• Eros: sexual, erotic
  
• Agape: unconditional, divine, selfless
  
• Ludus: flirtatious, playful, casual, uncommitted
  
• Pragma: committed, long-standing
  
• Philautia: self-love
  
• Mania: obsessive, possessive, addictive, dependent
  

The word translated as "charity" in the KJV's rendering of 1st Corinthians 13 is agape. A more accurate translation of the word would be "love," more specifically, the love of God. In this passage, Paul talks about the importance of having this kind of love for others compared to all the things we might typically obsess over concerning the things of God. Even things like charity to the poor itself, if not motivated by agape, does not impress God! Our motivations and heart matter to God just as much, if not more, than our actions themselves.
This is what the Bible defines as true love, or at least, is the kind of love it's most concerned about.
In order to demonstrate to another that we love them, we sacrifice something. For God, He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins (John 3:16). For Jesus, he sacrificed himself to save us from our sins:

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."-John 15:13

In essence, true love is self-sacrifice. Putting others before ourselves is the greatest kind of sacrifice.
God didn't have to send His Son, but He did. Jesus didn't have to accept the mission, but he did.
God loves you, and Jesus loves you.
We demonstrate to others that we love them by sacrificing our wants and desires for them. These sacrifices can range from really small, to really big. Loving others is a daily practice of making greater and greater sacrifices.

“You can will to love people. Love is not a feeling. Love is a willing, and the Lord says to love people. He did not mean [to merely] feel love for them” — A.W. Tozer

A stumbling block for many in their walk with God is the inability to love one's enemies and to love unlovable people as Jesus did. It’s difficult for us to show love to people we don’t feel love for; to people we despise or dislike. We also tend to struggle with extending grace and mercy to those who’ve hurt us. I myself often wonder whether I am even capable of loving everyone the way Jesus does.
As I grow in my faith, I realize it’s not that I’m incapable of loving like Jesus; I’m just not always willing to. My unwillingness to love indicates that I am unwittingly adopting the worldly view of love, which is based on feelings and merit. I am choosing not to love people I feel are underserving of my love. The more I study Scripture, though, the more I realize Biblical love is not a feeling or an emotion; it’s a decision. It is an action, and it’s sacrificial. It’s not something you feel; it is, again, something you practice.

“Biblical love is a choice to do good for another person regardless of what we feel. It is a decision to compassionately and righteously pursue the betterment of another person. This is why you can even love your enemies according to Christ’s command.” — Tony Evans

Jesus commands us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30). He also said, “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another” (John 13:34). Since the Lord commands us to love, that means it is within our power to do so; therefore, love is a decision we make. Although feelings will accompany love, it’s not an emotion; it’s the decision to love regardless of how we feel.
As believers, we’re taught to love our enemies, and do good to those who hate us, and if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, "turn to him the other also" (Matt. 5:39). It’s not easy to do; hating our enemies comes naturally to us because of our evil nature. It is impossible to love our enemies on our own strength; we need the help of the Spirit of God.
The decision to love your enemies arises from the decision to obey the will of God and the desire to be Christlike. We choose to love our enemies because God said so and loved us first. Jesus said we are to love as he loved us.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”-Romans 5:8

So Biblical love is sacrificial love. It is not a feeling but an act of will; the desire to put the welfare of others above your own. This type of love is not a love based on affection or emotion. Instead, it’s agape love, a love that is not concerned with self but is concerned more with the good of others.
We are not going to like everyone, nor are we called to; we are called to love everyone regardless of how we feel about them. It’s possible to love someone without feeling love for them when we decide to love everyone the way God loves us. The more we love through our actions, the decision to love will become a choice the heart is more willing to make.
Again, this doesn’t mean you will like or feel love for everyone, but when you put your trust in the Lord and pursue wisdom and holiness through prayer and Scripture, you will naturally develop a love for others.
To put it succinctly: Biblical love seeks the best interests of others, even our enemies, often to the detriment of ourselves. "Best interests" here doesn't necessarily mean what the other person thinks are their own best interests. It just means we do for them what we know or believe is best for them, and what we know or believe is best for them should be informed by an active participation with the Spirit of God and by His Word (the Bible) itself. Feelings may or may not accompany this, but how we feel towards the other is not what determines whether or not we're exhibiting the love of God, in the view of Jesus and the apostles. In their view, it's about whether or not we can still decide to seek the best interests of those who might harm us, or who we might not even like.

What the Real Heavenly Treasure Is

Now, this all brings us to an important question that needs to be answered: Is it wrong to love God and others while making a reward the objective for doing so?
We must ask this question, because all throughout Scripture we are told that the faithful followers of God will be "rewarded" some day for everything they've done to merit this. Giving an exhaustive list of passages that proves this point would be endless, but here are some examples of just a few:

"Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just."-Luke 14:12-14
"I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."-Acts 20:35
"But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."-Luke 6:35

The answer to this question depends on what we define as "rewards." Most will typically adopt some vague idea of material possesions that await the believer when they get to heaven as one's reward for faithfulness towards God, or that the reward is simply an escape from punishment for one's own sins, or perhaps even some combination of these things both.
However, none of these are the "rewards" the Lord is promising to those who obey the first and second commandments. If they were, our motivation to love God and others would ultimately be selfish. Think about it. Our motivation for rewards would inherently be me-centered, and not other-centered.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ gives the following command:

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."-Matthew 6:19-21

We know there are heavenly treasures, because Jesus says so, but what are they? The issue of heavenly treasures or eternal rewards is riddled with question marks. It’s a subject that has been abused by some (“Store up treasure by giving to my ministry”) and left in the too-hard basket by others.
But the answer here is simple, and two-fold. One of our rewards are God Himself:

"After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward."-Genesis 15:1
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."-Hevrews 11:6

What is the reward of the seeker but to find that which is sought? If you are searching for God, you will find Him and He will be your very great reward.
Now, if you are the newest believer or the eleventh-hour worker, you will be as richly blessed as the oldest, most faithful saint. Eternity will not be divided into the haves and have-nots, for we are all one in the New Jerusalem.
But we can distinguish God our reward from the heavenly treasure that Jesus said can be stored up. You cannot "store up" more of God, after all.
So what are heavenly treasures? The answer may surprise you, but it’s people.

"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."-Psalm 127:3

What is the only thing you can take with you? People, a.k.a. eternal friends, a.k.a. spiritual offspring. This Psalm is not just talking about biological children. God has bigger plans for you and they involve spiritual children. Lots of them. Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands. Millions. Don’t limit God.
So much time and effort is spent debating heavenly treasures as though they were some great mystery. What are they? Jesus makes it plain: it's people.

• Just as Abraham was called to be the father of many nations, so are you.
  
• Jesus said those who followed him would be fishers of men. What is a fisherman’s reward? It’s fish, or people in this case.
  
• What is the reward of the one who sows and waters the good seed? It’s a harvest of people.
  
• What is treasure that never wears out and cannot be stolen? It’s people.
  

God's heart cries, “I treasure children. The more, the better!” In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus introduces God as our heavenly Father. In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus says God is a Father who rewards us. And what is a father’s reward?
It is children.
“Sounds great, but I am no evangelist.” You don’t need to be an evangelist to win eternal friends. Believers can live such godly lives that unbelievers will be won to the kingdom (1 Pet. 2:12; Matt. 5:16).
God's desire is to grow the world’s largest family and He treats people like treasure. This is obvious once you see it. Indeed, it’s a theme that runs throughout Scripture:

"For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth."-Deuteronomy 7:6
"For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth."-Deuteronomy 14:2
"And the Lord hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;"-Deuteronomy 26:18
"To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;"-1 Peter 2:4-9

Like Jesus, Paul eagerly gave to the poor (Gal. 2:10). He did not give out of religious duty or to put a shine on his reputation. He did it because he loved people and wanted to share the love of God with as many as possible (1 Cor. 13:3).
Life is a gift that is easily wasted. We can waste it running after inferior rewards that rust, or we can do what Jesus and Paul did and invest ourselves in the only reward that lasts: people.

God Is Faithful

Someone once asked me, "Why would God be concerned as to whether or not we 'have trust and confidence in him' when He's judging us and when He determines what our fate will be?"
Having trust and confidence in God, according to the Biblical authors, is required for us to fulfill His commandment that we love Him, and thus also love others. (See Hebrews 11.)
As with a spouse, you cannot truly love them if you do not have some level of trust or confidence in them, and vice versa. All relationships require trust, from both parties. God wants us to trust Him that He will keep His promises towards those of us who love and follow Him. He also wants to trust us that we will enter the kingdom of heaven with a righteous and loving character. He doesn't want another rebellion in paradise, so He's trying to see if we truly love righteousness for righteousness' sake. A truly righteous person wouldn't want to rebel against Him when the time comes that they enter the kingdom of God themselves, because a person with a righteous character wouldn't ever do such a thing.
As Open Theists, we believe we're being consistent in our belief that God, at times, puts trials before us to test whether or not we will remain trustworthy enough in our character to be deemed worthy of entrance into His kingdom. The Classical Theist doesn't have the luxury of being consistent if they have this same belief.
In the Book of Job, Satan makes an accusation towards someone God has deemed as truly righteous: Job.
Satan assails God’s wisdom and character in running the world by alleging that people only serve Him because of what they get out of it. God protects them from disaster and blesses them in other ways. Their obedience, he is suggesting, isn’t really a free choice. "There is no genuine virtue in the world," Satan is claiming. "There are only self-serving bargains, and obedience for the sake of being protected and blessed is one of them. Hence, true holiness and virtuous obedience are an illusion." "Take away a person’s protection," Satan insists, "and let me have my way with people, and they will stop living for God" (Job 1:9-11; 2:4-5).
God has so much faith in Job that he will not succumb to proving the false accusations being levied towards him and God's way of running things in general that He ends up accepting the challenge. For God, this is as much a test of His faith towards His servant as it is for Job for his Lord. The adversary, we see, was assailing God’s integrity and wisdom in overseeing the creation. Satan was, in effect, accusing God of being a Machiavellian ruler. In the context of this narrative, it was an assault that could only be refuted by being put to the test.
Had God simply forced Satan into silence, without proving him wrong, it would have simply confirmed the accuracy of Satan’s charge. It would have shown that there is no integrity or wisdom in how God runs the world after all. "There is only the exercise of power, used to manipulate beings into obeying Him. People serve God only as a bargain, not out of genuine love."
No, the challenge had to be answered by having it put to the test. The most righteous man on the earth was thus chosen to be tested. If Job failed, the narrative suggests, then Satan will have made his point. If he succeeded, however, then God’s wisdom and integrity in running the cosmos will have been vindicated. Hence, the protective fence around Job is removed and Satan is allowed to afflict him.
In the end, Job proves faithful to God and is even referenced in the New Testament as an example of the kind of faithfulness He expected of first century believers facing persecution and trials:

"Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."-James 5:11

While most of us aren't dealing with the life-threatening kind of persecution that believers faced in the first century, for the very fact that the eschatological end of physical Israel and the Old Covenant system was fastly approaching for them (and already has approached), we still each face our own trials that God puts in our lives as individuals to see if we truly love Him. Job is simply the ultimate example of one who loved God because they chose to, not because God forced them to.
After all, you never know if your love is pure if it isn't tested...

Randomly getting crashes today about 10 seconds after loading into my game. Game was working fine a few days ago. Here's my crash log:
Yvileapsis' Brad Boimler (God, I f*cking hate that show) version 4.5 beta 4 at 2024-05-14 04:07:04.8623265
If this file is empty, then your game didn't crash or something went so wrong even crash logger was useless! :snig:
Topmost stack module is NOT ALWAYS the crash reason! Exercise caution when speculating!
Exception C0000005 caught!

“Did that Human just hit my ship?” Admiral Carney of the Saigor Empire peered out of the viewport. His voice tinged with disbelief. His ship, the Gavaron, a superstar dreadnought 10 kilometres long and brimming with every weapon the galaxy had to offer, was being propelled backwards past the fourth planet of this insignificant solar system by a man dressed in a blue suit and red cape. The crew, initially stunned, began to regain their composure and halt the ship.
“Sir? What should we do?” His second-in-command looked at the screen in disbelief. “That hit destroyed the forward shield generators and the forward main cannon!”
“Ehhh? That has to be a hologram. Scan for whatever weapon they used and send in two frigates to destroy whatever that thing is.”
His order was followed, and he saw two of the frigates that had been held back speed past him, launching rockets at the target, only for the rocket to be blasted by some red laser from this human's eyes, according to the video feed.
“Are you seeing this? What in the fifth unholy hell is this thing from? Is it a droid? “
“Scans say it's biological, and there is no technology detected, and according to our files, it looks human.”
“LOOKS HUMAN?” Admiral Carney turned to the science officer. “Does that look like a normal biological being to you? Those rockets are made of Dirunium. We can launch them through a damn sun if we want to.”
He turned to see this human grabbing a frigate and slinging it towards them. The other hightailed out of there, jumping into light speed in whatever direction they were facing. Smart kids, he thought.
“Brace for impact!”
“Brace for impact, but the shields?” His first officer looked at the helmsman as he shouted out the warning. Admiral Carney sighed and looked at him. “He destroyed them, remember? Move the ship out of the trajectory, turn the ships around and get us out of here. We can't fight that thing.“
“What about the shield? We can't jump without a shield?”
“Have a support ship land on the bow, and have them extend their shields over our damaged area. Then, let's get out of here. “
“Sir! The human is approaching us.” The words made it go cold down his spine. How could that thing, man, move that fast without any tech?
“Is he attacking?” He managed to keep his voice calm but he was getting worried. Was he to die here? In what was supposed to be a simple invasion to teach the recruits how to do the job.
“No, he is just watching us.” The words calmed him down. Maybe they could survive this. It was a defence system; it had to be, so if they just left, it would leave them be.
“Then ignore him, and let's get out of here.”
When he finally had time, he went over the reports. Earth was not supposed to have such a being as its defender. He had never seen or heard anything like this. This might cost him his job, but there was no way in the five unholy hell he could ever win over that. He logged the report and got himself a drink. He looked at his own fist. The green muscular fist would never be able to do something like that. They will cut his horns and blind his third eye for this, but he would survive. He could leave the navy and find a job on a starbase far from the capital planet. Yeah, it might be for the best. He got out the pad, wrote down his resignation, and sent it to the headquarter.

Five years later

Jar Carney had been working as a bartender at the Gustun star base for five years now, a trader base that saw creatures from all over the galaxies. Here, nobody knew or cared who he was, though he had heard the stories about the admiral who quit his position after attacking Earth, and a single human beat them back. It was a very popular story among some of the travellers. The only thing Jar found funny was that they often got the species of the admiral. In fact, mostly, it was somebody else than a Cunar like him; it tended to change. Lately, it was a female admiral of the Surion empire. Carney had to smirk at how the story had changed, and then he turned to the new Surion bartender, Saris, a young woman with a serious face who always kept to herself. She was pretty for a Surion; her soft yellow and black striped fur and the short tale made her cute, and her feminine movement had already made a few brave patrons try their luck. However, she ignored them all. “Hey, I didn’t know you guys had female admirals?”
She froze as he spoke, and Jamir, the local drunk, chuckled. “Only if they are royalty, they are given a fleet and told to show what they can do. But this time, this princess went to Earth, which was such a stupid choice. I thought they had learnt by now.” He then winked five of his 15 eyes at Saris.
Both Carney and Saris turned to him and said in unison, “What?”
Jamir laughed and finished his drink. “I’m the Funasta Admiral they spoke about last year. Unlike the smart invaders, I managed to land on that cursed planet, and while that demon tore through my fleet in space, I had to face something even worse. We set up a teleport point and just started to send in our mech units. They suddenly faced a green giant behemoth of a human. The more they shoot at him, the stronger and more dangerous he became. Then, we launched our troops and drone fighters. The humans responded by sending in more of these demons. First was a man in red who ran faster than we could see. Then a man dressed in old armour and a hammer of all things came, he controlled the weather and everywhere he struck was also hit by lightning from a clear sky. The green behemoth and the hammer guy are just as strong as the demon in the sky. They just can't fly like him. Besides the red blur that will zip around and disarm your troops, the ground support of those two monsters is a few other demons. There is a man with metal claws that could heal any wounds we inflicted on him. He is aided by a woman who tore through our men like they were paper. We had managed to defend the teleporter, so we poured in our drone clones. It didn’t matter.” He took another drink as he got lost in the nightmare that would follow. It took a second before he continued.
“The worst happened when night came. They made the dead rise to fight, Led by some bloodthirsty beast who drained our officers. Then came the humans, who turned into predatory animals and were immune to anything we threw at them. At that point, we finally had enough and ran away. We teleported home since all our ships had been destroyed and destroyed our side of the gate. So, of course, I was expelled.” He smirked, showing maw of short teeth.” But I had recorded too much evidence for them to ignore it, so we sent spies to try and find a weakness in their defense, and then we found out we were not the first to face them like this.“ He held out his glass for refill, which he got.
“We discovered that they have defeated at least eight invasions this way. And” He stopped for dramatic effect. “ We discovered their weapon. Those monsters are not real—well, they are real, but they are the result of human imagination. They have this technology that allows them to pull their —what’s the word? Ahh, now I remember superheroes and monsters from their books and movies, and for as long as people needed them, they would protect them from the enemies of the Earth. You see, they vanish once the invasion is over. Then the humans plunder the battlefield for tech.” He chuckles as he looks at his clawed hand. “Yeah, so here we sit, three admirals fracked up by imaginary monsters because nobody would believe it before seeing it with their own eyes. I mean, would your rulers believe such a fracked-up story.”
As always, let me know if you post it anywhere else. I'm okay with it as long as I get credit and am notified.

I'm currently playing a dynasty of many crowns run and have put a simple rule on myself, do not ever hold two kingdoms. Whenever I do, I give one away to a dynasty member usually a son.
For added RP I do not raise wars on dynasty members, but one thing that annoys me.
Is when my ruler dies, the main kingdom is split among multiple kings. And I have a hard time finding a narrative for why half of Jutland is under the King of Brittany, Bornholm under the King of Wales, Fuhnen under the King of Germany - the only half narrative I've come up with is that the peasants would see my heir as the wrong heir of Denmark and have pledged allegiance to other potential heirs.
But it feels half assed, I imagine in real life the King of Brittany wouldn't push his entire army to defend the peasants if I were to show them the kings loyal guards might - as he after all is my brother. A situation like this, would had caused a lot of diplomatic affairs, between the 2 kings and local chieftains - In my dream world there would be an event chain for rulers of the same level inheriting and splitting primary kingdoms apart

Hi guys,
I just came back from a Dr. Joe dispenza retreat in Basel. And my health is down from all the stress etc.
My legs, feet and eyes started to swell so badly this never happend to me before. Need some advice what do take.
For the other symptoms I know what to do just not for swelling.
I had also celery 2 times today but the swelling is still there it went down only a little bit
I think it happend because I was standing a Long time outside before they opened the door to the event then I was sitting a long time that’s when my knees started to hurt then I was walking stairs up and down and standing for the lady’s toilet in line and I had no proper food all those 3 days. It wasn’t MM comfort at all. They had vegan options but it was super bad! Lots of msg and trouble foods.
I had lemon water, HMDS and the vimergy supplements in the morning at 4am those 3days in basel.
I brought some food with me but not enough from 5:30am- 7pm/9pm. So I got a super stong headache from that and from the strong lights. It wasn’t possible to bring good food with me as you were only allowed DIN 4 size bag inside.
I’m back on eating salad and potato today and had celery and cucumber juice 2x All supplements from vimergy
I’m just glad to be back home honestly.
Didn’t take any shock therapies or brain shots because I don’t know which once to do I feel very drained, overstimulated from those 3 days. I have all my curtains closed because my eyes hurt.
My experience was this event was kinda lovly Just food wise really bad, 3 staff people there were super rude to me 🥺when I asked for help they responded very rude or ignored me on purpose. infront of us were famous Instagram people and celebrities sitting that also drained me as they were super chatty didn’t pay attention to Joe Dispenza, pushing their trash to us under their chair and then leaving it, leaving and coming as they wanted which we tried to ignored and stay focused but it was hard with all the pains in my body I got, it just added up. Then you had to stand outside in the line at 5:30am to get a good seat in the front (gold tickets) and they open the door at 7:30am then people were squeezing themselves into the queue around 7 am so they push us away or got super angry. It was horrible! Can’t recommend gold tickets not worth it!!! It’s better to just look at the screen a bit far away. (Silber tickets)
It was also for me with my brain fog and neurological symptoms , adrenal fautige way to hard to stay focused while joe dispenza was teaching. Even people that had no health symptoms it was hard on them too some also had headache.
Dr Joe Dispenza would so often then also tell us to explain what he just said to the person next to us. And I just couldn’t do it so the person sitting next to me got very annoyed this almost made me cry and in general I just couldn’t focus at all. So this added also up to me not feeling well.
By the time we had a meditation I was just happy to close my eyes that were burning and so I don’t have to talk to people and explain joes teaching. I just used the meditation to sleep and rest instead of meditating proper.
This was my first time joining his event and I wish I didn’t go. It wasn’t that fun for me. I got more judge from random people for being tired and not speaking or not getting up dancing all crazy when joe came back. Or the joe dispenza volunteers those 3 people more judging then helping when I asked simple things like I spilled tea on a seat if I could get somthing ti clean or cover the seat they looked at me and said “what do you want me to do about it” and just turned around. Etc.
I just need some advice what to do for swelling and upset stomach. All the other symptoms I know what to do.
Would you guys recommend ice packs on the legs?
Any help I would appreciate ❤️

Hello! I'm a beginner sewer who recently completed a weekend bootcamp on sewing. I sewed my own dress from scratch with facing on the collar and cuffs. I also learned to hand sew. I have a $300 budget to get set up to machine-sew and hand-sew 100% wool and 100% linen clothing (with some limited silk) for medieval-themed historical re-enactment events. These will be outfits for myself, my elementary-aged children, and occasionally for friends.
This budget does not include cloth or patterns (just tools). I would like to include tailoring/measurement/cutting tools, key reference/learning books (I can check some of these from the library), and beginner tools for simple hand-sewn embroideries, stamping clothes with stencils and paint, and applying wool applique. I'd love to figure out how to make custom cloth-covered buttons as well to match dresses and coats.
Here is what I have on hand already, thanks to hand-me-downs from family and what I had already:

• a Singer XL-400 Futura sewing machine (no embroidery attachment, but I have a pedal).
• a Brother CS-6000i sewing and embroidery machine (with all attachments).
• Multi-color starter kits of thread sets and bobbin sets, plus white, black, and gray thread.
• a dedicated table and chair for sewing and cutting material.
• a decent ironing board, iron, cutting surface sheet, a see-through tailoring ruler, and a few sizes of non-fancy scissors - one from Joann's for cloth.

While I thought $300 would be plenty to get me started, I am already feeling overwhelmed by all the choices for tools available. Like, do I need a curved ruler? Or fancy Kai or Gingher scissors? Or a tool to correctly size collars? Do I need a machine to make cloth-covered buttons, or can I make them more cheaply? Some of these more expensive tools eat up my budget quickly.
Knowing that I'm a beginner, and will (almost) exclusively be sewing (90% machine sewing) with wool and linen to make medieval clothing that are intended to look hand-made, what "essentials" would you recommend I purchase or focus on? What can you not live without now that you've been sewing for years that you think I might need? What's turned out to not be useful? I'll shop around for the best prices on items once I've narrowed down my list. Thank you in advance for your advice!

In the process of my first build, putting a BBS02 on a 2024 Trek Marlin 7 Gen 2.
Had to use a cylinder hone on the BB casing to get the motor in but it's finally in. I ordered the kit with a 36T chainring which clears, but the chain is lined up with my highest gear. So I can only use maybe 5 gears before the chain starts to bend to what seems a bad amount.
I'm going to finish the build (waiting on longer bracket bolts) as is and see how it rides, but I'm fairly certain I'm going to want to get the chainline to where I can use all the gears.
I'm really hoping to keep it "simple" and solve this with a chain ring (Lekkie or Luna etc) as opposed to modifying the cassette or something else. So far I've been unable to find an example of someone solving this on this bike/motor combination. Is anyone aware of this being accomplished? I know to gain offset, I'll have to go larger size - at least 40T. I'm concerned about interference with the chain stay as the size (and offset) increases though.
I'd like to avoid order, test fit, return, repeat if at all possible. Is there a reliable way to measure these two dimensions? I always feel like it's just a best guess when I'm measuring because of the 3D nature of it. I haven't found any good videos showing how to measure chainring clearance, down to the mm.
