Its really pretty. Whats it called, /rocks/ ?

>>2126
Just look up purple gemstones and compare what they look like, you might find the answer that way

Tiger Iron. It's a metamorphic form of banded tiger eye mixed with jasper and hematite.

Breddy amazing, /rocks/ . Looks a lot like some old wood.

I just found out about Jack Sarfatti who said that Metamaterials can be used to affect gravity

I'm not sure whether it was me or someone else who made this post, but I'm going through the book now.

Just before I made this post I experienced a weird synchronicity. Earlier I got to the part of the book where it starts discussing T. Townsend Brown. I just went to Grok and saw Zanesville, Ohio mentioned on the front page and thought it sounded familiar. Sure enough, that's where T. Townsend Brown was born.

If gravity manipulation is actually possible and relatively easy, could an FTL drive be made (like an Alcubierre Drive?)

Absolutely
Most of the ufo's/saucers/spacecraft of unknown origin operate this way. It would logically be the most efficient way to space travel outside of actual teleportation/wormhole shortcutting (which they probably also use)

The Alcubierre drive principle is that a gravitational well is created upfront and a gravitational hill is created in the back, on which the craft rides the difference like a wave. It can be visualized like a continuous hill which the craft travels downward. In actuality it would be falling towards the well while also being pushed by the hill
The way these craft operate has been explained as them generating a field, a kind of a bubble around the craft which shields mass, in effect the mass is nullified compared to the outside of the bubble, there is still mass within the bubble but the gravitational distortion field causes discrepancy between it and the outside environment. The gravitational distortion also enables time displacement, whereas the time inside the bubble the craft is in is passing normally relative to the inside of the bubble, but outside the bubble the craft appears to be moving at immense speeds.

>>2122
Its easy enough that it could be accomplished in a garage, but its difficult without the right know how, materials and tools

>>2130
BTW, I heartily recommend reading The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis. His insight into the human condition vs. the will of Heaven is masterful IMHO. Cheers.

>They are what He is ("it is what it is"). Truth doesn't budge for our petty preferences.
I don’t think it is true. It doesn’t make much sense, and I think it’s more likely it caught on as a response to conflicting Christologies in early Christianity and as an attempt to maintain Abrahamic monotheism while also affirming the divine nature of Jesus. I also don’t think it succeeds in that regard.
>Which part of "Satan and all his lot are dinked off into hell for eternity" was the part that slipped by you, Anon?
But Yahweh is responsible for Satan and his minions running buck wild to begin with.
>No, sin itself created these problems. God gave us love & freewill. Two (literal) opposite ends of the spectrum.  :)
And the Fall would be the result of Yahweh knowingly creating flawed humans in the first place. He’s supposed to know what’s going to happen and have the means of preventing it but doesn’t. A potter who intentionally creates a cup with a hole in the bottom can’t complain when it starts to leak.
>>2133
I’m not sure about that, but I’ve always had a soft spot for his Narnia books.

>>2135
>I don’t think it is true. It doesn’t make much sense
Trying to squeeze concepts of the transcendent, tridimensionality of the Holy Trinity down into our 3D+time "pea brains" is apt to produce many current mysteries.  :D  In fact, this aspect of scripture (transcendent [ie, beyond our universe], mysterious) is a strong argument for the divine origin of the material (as opposed to, say, all other religions).

>But Yahweh is responsible for Satan and his minions running buck wild to begin with.
God created Lucifer and other angels. They, themselves, created their own evil. Watching someone do evil isn't the same as the evildoer's evil.

>He’s supposed to know what’s going to happen and have the means of preventing it but doesn’t. 
Both true. However:
A)  God isn't Santa Clause, much to the chagrin of selfish heathens.  :D
B)  Strong freewill (ie, it can lead to utter destruction) is necessary for strong Love (ie, it will last throughout all eternity).
Simple as.

>but I’ve always had a soft spot for his Narnia books.
Same. Wonderful works that I still read today.

You could justify anything at all that doesn't make sense using that argument though.
>God created Lucifer and other angels. They, themselves, created their own evil. Watching someone do evil isn't the same as the evildoer's evil.
Yahweh would have created the tendency toward evil within them. An omnipotent god wouldn't have to do that.
>A)  God isn't Santa Clause, much to the chagrin of selfish heathens.  :D
If he's unnecessarily creating a highly flawed world full of intense suffering so he can treat living creatures as his playthings off from afar, then in what sense is he perfectly good?
>B)  Strong freewill (ie, it can lead to utter destruction) is necessary for strong Love (ie, it will last throughout all eternity).
In what sense?
>Same. Wonderful works that I still read today.
I have an omnibus book containing the entire series. I kind of miss the presentation of the old

>You could justify anything at all that doesn't make sense using that argument though.
So, exactly like the materialist scientist's philosopher's appeal to their multiverse fantasy, then? At least the science apologist's claims are based primarily in observable reality.  :D

>Yahweh would have created the tendency toward evil within them.
Which part of (illegitimate, in this case) "free will" was the hard one?

>...then in what sense is he perfectly good?
Again strong free will is at play here.

>In what sense?
Vaguely in the same sense you'd allow your child to exercise his freewill to do stupid shite that might hurt him mildly, but wouldn't allow him to wander into the street. Given the stakes at risk (eternal life vs. eternal death), God eventually allows us to exercise such strong freewill. Just like you can't helicopter your children forever. Eventually they'll choose to go into the street, and you can't stop them. Just pray your training was sufficient to keep them from getting killed!  :)

They responded with emails the day I ordered the amulet, but there's been no replies since then

I found their youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@branepower

>>2079
My talisman is apparently working for me now, I've gotten some good happenings in my life lately

>>2118
I finally got a response, seems like its ready

>>2120
I'm curious to see how well it'll work.

>>2121
The shipment was delayed a lot, but it finally made it to my local area. I still haven't gotten it into my hands at this point though

I just bought a book about radionics that I happened to see in a store I went to earlier today, look into radionics if you haven't, its pretty interesting stuff

Cream bun day is on February 16th this year

Hi, I'm new here. I was told I could change the CSS of my "board" >>2093

>>2101
I can upload the CSS for you, you'll just have to specify what kind of CSS you wish to have, perhaps upload the CSS file, pick backgrounds if any and I'll see if I can adapt it to that thread

>>2106
Here's my CSS
https://pastebin.com/Yjgen9yg

Big thanks to anon for his additional CSS

>>2110
CSS has been updated

hm... well, same thing. I am also a traveler, although I think I can't help you with chan histories too much, from what I know learning more about chans will just lead you to a wormhole of insanity.

I first started to visit various alt chans after 4chan got nuked (for about a week). I first found out about 4chan in Late September/early August 2018 from a youtube video. I like "discovering" small alt chans/image boards. I know this post (and thread) are years old, but nothing wrong with posting into the void. Hope you've had good life after you posted this, and hope you stay safe. See you somewhere else on the internet.

>>2090
Ngl I wish 4cuck would get nuked permanently. m00t stumbled into something important back in the day. As usual, the ((( usual suspects ))) began their usual evils, and jewt soon transitioned into $$$Luggage Lad$$$. I have no idea why GamerGay had such a bad influence and outcome on him, or maybe it really was from ((( epst*in ))), but w/e the reasons the place became a curse in the 10s, just about the time we had our first & second exoduses to Fullchan.

>but nothing wrong with posting into the void. 
Everything matters.  :)

Neat! Good luck with your project. BTW, you should try to work with the /server/ BO to create a custom CSS for this new 'board', OP!  :D

>>2093
Thank you. I asked about how to do that on the /css/ thread/"board"
Any recommendations?

>>2103
>Any recommendations?
Add 'robot-ey' & 'electronic-al' & 'motor-ey' things that make it look like a robot board. What about your project as mascot image?

I have started work on updating the code (for the Catgirl Pool Party game demo)
So far the intro scenes work just like before. Next I'll update the code for the title screen, menus, options and finally I'll update the gameplay.
My plan is to finish all this before Christmas day. After Christmas I will focus on making changes to the gameplay, adding music to the game and prepare the game demo for /agdg/ demo day 66

>>2039
Looks great. Best of luck with the project!

I couldn't update all the code for the Mega Drive/Genesis version of Catgirl Pool Party before Christmas day, but I'll likely keep working on it later
I'm strongly considering working more on the Godot version of the game

>>2039
There wasn't enough time to submit a demo for demoday 66, I forgot to post this up until now
Perhaps I could submit an updated demo for the next one
I'm busy these days with other matters, but I will likely work on this again later
