  • Christmas pranksters of Lemmy, what are your "joke" gifts this year?

    Jump

  • My son insisted on a gift for Dirty Santa that was in a box encased in 8 more boxes, each wrapped beautifully. Apparently it was the first gift chosen, so everyone had to sit and watch each box be unwrapped.

  • What jobs can you get if you dropped out of a PhD in math with an MS?

  • I don't think you need a teaching certification to teach at community college. A master's is probably all you need.

  • Quantitative finance. They want people with a math background to model the market.

    You could also teach, either at the high school level or community college.

  • Have you tried Japanese "pizza"? There are larger wars to be fought than pineapple.

  • TIL that candy canes may have been invented to keep kids quiet in church

  • I don't think it's crazy, just desperate for validation.

  • There is a myth in evangelical Christian circles, I believe acknowledged in the article, that candy canes have their color (white for purity, red for blood) and shape (upside-down J for Jesus) and taste (sweet like the gospel) to explicitly communicate Christian doctrines. There is even a children's Christmas musical performed in churches at Christmas based on this principle. As much as one may approve of the doctrines, Christians holding steadfastly to a particular origin of candy canes regardless of the evidence seems dishonest and misguided, if not outright idolatrous to me.

  • The amount of candy cane myth that is believed wholesale and unquestioningly by modern American churches is amazing.

  • Can anyone suggest me a bible app or website, which doesn't collect any information and provides daily devotional?

  • With some googling, I found on a forum a script you can use to download the text and bundle your own ESV Sword module. Try searching for '"ESV" sword module'.

  • Word is that E-Sword has an ESV license, and it doesn't look terribly expensive.

  • They don't publish an ESV Sword module any more, sorry! I have one I bought a while back, and have manually installed every time I change phones.

  • There aren't AndBible modules, but the Sword modules are independent, so you can just install whatever modules you want with either front-end.

    For additional Sword modules, try looking on Bible.org and CrossWire.

    Jump

  • For me, something based around Sword is important, as it allows you to use a bunch of different Bible versions, commentaries, dictionaries and other works that you can freely download from various repositories. My app of choice is AndBible, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. I don't know whether or not they collect any information, but I believe they do have a warning before you search for Sword modules, since accessing those databases can identify you as a Christian.

    EDIT: No, sorry, the warning is on BibleTime, my desktop app of choice.
