  • If you’re into heavier stuff, Christian metal is generally really fucking good.

    As is the theme of the thread, a lot of these bands don’t consider themselves “Christian bands”, but hey.

    August Burns Red - pretty popular, their music has a wide variety of influences in terms of sound but every album but their very first is very solid and consistent imo. Their drums and breakdowns kick ass; listen to “Defender” and “Bloodletter”.

    Devil Wears Prada - also relatively popular, their style changed a little bit in the more recent years but there are songs on almost every album of theirs that I enjoy. “Sassafras” is a good older song, “Salt” is a good new one.

    Silent Planet - probably the most thought out and intentional lyrics you’ll find in metal. A majority of their songs include footnotes to every line, indicating what historical event, biblical passage, or other artist’s work they’re referencing. “Panic Room” and “Northern Fires” are great examples of their sound and message.










  • It would only be able to heat the tea to above 100C if that point of zero nucleation remained undisturbed, and the tea held directly within it; in other words, it’s not possible.

    Assuming there’s an amount of water within the cup that is above 100C, while the rest is at or below 100C. As soon as you grab the cup out of the microwave, the water will start to slosh around in the cup, equalizing the temperature. If there are any major hot spots remaining, they will be well below 100C, and almost completely equalized when the tea bag is added.


  • They are, in my opinion, the least comfortable to wear. I’m a skinny guy, so my issues may be me-specific, but there is nothing keeping the legs down, or anything to keep your goods in place. So every time I tried wearing these, I’d end up with the legs ridden all the way up, cargo completely unsecure in my jeans.

    Unbothered is the last vibe I feel in them 😅







  • In 3rd grade (maybe age 8), when coming back from the playground, my teacher had a rule:

    STRAIGHT LINE, NO TALKING, NO TOUCHING

    One day, when coming back from recess, I noticed that the kid in front of me, Joe, was crying. Now, I didn’t like Joe, he was a bully and had made fun of me and my friend group since the 2nd grade. But I still didn’t like just letting someone sit there upset. So I put a hand on his shoulder and said, “hey, are you ok?”

    Thus breaking two of the three most important rules you could possibly imagine. The teacher came over and chastised me for “playing around in line”, completely ignoring Joe (who was still crying). I tried to argue, but to no avail.

    Later that day, the teacher made a huge speech in front of the class about how sometimes you think you’re doing the right thing, but you still need to follow the rules, and gave me a citation in front of the entire class.

    Also, Joe continued to bully me.
