The best one I’ve found is the New Jerusalem translation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jerusalem_Bible#%3A~%3Atext=Substantially+revising+the+JB+and%2Cintroductions%2C+written+by+Henry+Wansbrough.

Here’s a comparison:

New Jerusalem Ezekiel 20:23-26

23 Once again, however, I pledged them my word that I would scatter them throughout the nations and disperse them in foreign countries,

24 because they had not followed my judgements but had rejected my laws and profaned my Sabbaths, their eyes being fastened on the foul idols of their ancestors.

25 And for this reason I gave them laws that were not good and judgements by which they could never live;

26 and I polluted them with their own offerings, making them sacrifice every first-born son in order to fill them with revulsion, so that they would know that I am Yahweh."

King James:

23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.

25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.

NIV:

23 Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries,

24 because they had not obeyed my laws but had rejected my decrees and desecrated my Sabbaths, and their eyes lusted after their parents’ idols.

25 So I gave them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live;

26 I defiled them through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.’

Biden enacted moronic tariffs?

The funny thing about the premise is, it’s not even that original:

Holy Blood and the Holy Grail - 1982
Preacher (comic book) - 1995-2000
The Da Vinci Code - 2003

Good book to take with you to jury duty if you want to avoid being picked for jury duty. 😉

That was a TOUGH read. It came up in my fantasy kick back in the 80s, so many other better books to read!

Kind of the whole point of the “Dirty Jobs” show.

Two kinds of jobs:

One, where you need a shower before you go to work.

Two, where you need a shower when you get home from work.

We value One and devalue Two. NGL, I’ve done both, I don’t know, physically, that I could go back to Two.

Bonus, Three, can’t remember the last time you showered because you work from home. LOL.

More media, fewer people. 😉

That’s something I’ve been telling people for years… Treat the Internet as you would the largest city you know of.

Would you take your kid to Times Square, turn them loose and say “Go have fun!” Of course not, that’s insanity.

That would be a fun way to implement a quarantine… Posts and comments by new users are only available to other new users. 😉

Kind of like the “Hide Bots” toggle. “Hide New Users”.

As far as THEY know, they’re active participants.

The Harry Potter books don’t start getting good until he finally ditches the Dursleys full time. I think starting with the 3rd book?

942 days is nothing though… 2 and a half years?

“a family of four needs $136,500 a year”

I could see that, more likely in more expensive areas. You aren’t getting anywhere in New York or San Francisco on $140K.

Sex at Dawn. Proposed as a ethno-biographic history of monogamy / non-monogamy which is an important topic, but good god so stupidly written.

Sounds like one of the L. Ron Hubbard trash… Battlefield Earth?

Yeah, I’ve been banning them for bad faith engagement in my communities with the “Remove Content” toggle, and it’s gotten to the point now where they are still creating accounts but not bothering to post in my communites, so that’s good.

But the pattern of communities they post to with low/no/amenable moderation still lets them flood the channel.

That scene with the little girl was amazing!

Technology? Really?

Republicans believe government cannot and will not work. Elect them and they will show you. 😉

Still looking forward to the inevitable war crimes tribunal…
