Taking the sacrament with right hand
Blackmarch replied to carlimac's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
nothing official. it's symbolic tradition; generally the right hand is the side that is reserved for the most honored guest, back in old times. -
You need a way to get rid of waste, and you need a way to refresh your air. I imagine they had to have faith in regards to when they couldnt see the other boats.... also you could open the bottom hatch at any point the bottom of the boat was pointed down and the top hatch was sealed. there are some native american tribes with tellings of how their ancestors came to this land, in 8 turtle boats.

That and idleness.

To add, how elaborate the ceremony is, is generally up to the couple getting married and/or their parents. I know of ceremonies that were pretty much just a technicality or treated just as astep to the temple ceremony, and others that were very elaborate. Most fall somewhere in between.
-
If the person conducting the wedding doesnt have any previous experience with such it might feel a little disjointed (which in utah is probably more comon in some areas). Ive been to a non temple wedding performed by an lds bishop and it was great, and one that was between an lds girl and someone from another christian faith performed by a pastor, and it was decent. Probably comes down to experience and effort put into it.

May end up doing something in 7 days to die tho. (a minecraftlike, with a greater emphasis on surviving the zombie apocolypse)

Well, we're working a new world on the ps4 version by now..... Currently working on a moria-ish thing. So far its been 100% survival hard lol.

In any case once you overcome thevproblems of gravity, inertia, and rotation.... You still have to deal with atmospheric forces on the planetside portion of the equation.... Having a monoatomic, or monomoecular super cable would help a lot with that problem. -

Ou still run into the same problems either way,mthe cable just cuts down on the mass which makes for a more usable scenario. What carb was replying to there was if that cable or shaft was not connected to the earth itself. -

Or just extend the opposite end further to counteract increased weight of the elevator, if you desire to keep the center of gravity from moving. -

Blackmarch replied to zil's topic in General Discussion
Wouldnt you be using a counterweight elevator at the same time at the other end to reduce the effect? If we are talking Feasible Sci Fi, you'd have some sort of engine also rigged at both ends and in the middle, probably something that requires little to no fuel-say for the space end a collapsible solar sail, and if the other end is in atmosphere that is dense enough, some reallly good powerful fans.... Althat setup would be more for the end of construction. For initial construction it would have to be more conventional fuel based, but even then youd want to get all the supplies youll need at the anchorpoint so the amount of transferrence and ferrying would be minimized. -

As in not connected to the ground. The longer you make it, the more pronounced the different forces acting on it will become, one that isnt connected to the ground can have the benefit not needing to be as long/big, but on the other hand it complicates using it. Still would need something quite a bit stronger than CNs tho, at least for any length that would help save on fuel to put things in a high orbit -

Ever played around with the idea of an unconnected elevator? -

Or one could go at a shallower angle too, for less distance.... Basically a similar sort of idea that is behind how most rollercoasters are powered. -

guess we could also go for a gravity train too.... Take the hyperloop idea and instead of running it along earths surface you run it through the core or near the core to th opposite side of the world and let gravity povide something like 90-99% of the movement energy. -

Carbon nanotubes are th most promising material yet, but we would still need something stronger and more tensile..... Even if we could make CNs long enough. -
Altho not really manga, a good graphic novel is Inverloch, set in an almost traditional fantasy setting ( elves, humans, trolls etc.. With a couple of new races unique to the story) I've also enjoyed yu yu hakisho/ spirit detective about a punk kid who gets killed by car when rescuing a younger kid from said car... But as it was supposed to be the person he rescued that died and not him, so he gets returned to life.... With a few provisos. That one has been pretty clean so far, altho it does revolve around brawl/hand-hand martial artsy stuff ( with a little dragonballesque/streetfighter spirit shooting). Demons in this series can be pretty freakish, and afew of the violent scenes can end up on the more graphic side, but not many of them. Ive also enjoyed the first four or five seasons of megatokyo, but after that it goes meh. About two gamer addicts who get stuck in tokyo- pokes fun at ton of stereotypes and cliches found in anime, games, and things of that nature.

No idea how thoroughly students read the disclosure statements and etc... Before signing. But id wager its mostly a type of entitlement culture... Especially if someone turns away from the church, once a person does that, rarely do they keep respect for the church. At that point anything church related probably seems small to them, whereas they still take their college degrees seriously.

Are the Neuro drinks against the word of wisdom?
Blackmarch replied to mt_mck7's topic in Youth and Seminary
There are a lot of drugs between these drinks, unless you are taking them as treatment or medication i would do my best avoid them. -
Interesting. It would bevinteresting to know ancient egyptian law as well.

You ought to take a look at the visual descriptions that aer in JS 's account of his first meeting of moroni. I find it interesting.
