It's in the proton pass app. You only get so many in the free tier, but I did the premium, so it's unlimited.

Edit spelling

When I filled it out, email was required, phone was not.

Also, I use proton.me, and they have a really nice email masker, so you can generate throwaway email addresses, which is nice!

Interesting, I knew you guys used those can things with the horse right behind you, or the smaller trailers which are lighter. I didn't know you got upgraded motors. Do you also get bigger tires and brakes with that upgrade?

Something very few people think to consider here isn't whether or not you can pull the thing, but whether or not they can stop it.

Yeah 100% most people with trucks are for vanity. It makes them feel cool. It's also a status symbol, because right now the price of trucks like that start at $70k. We have an O2 model Ford f350, and if we wanted to replace it with an "equivalent" model of this year we'd be out $95k.

We use our truck almost 100% for hauling horses. I occasionally have to drive it just to the doctor or something because my wife usually has the car at work. (I work from home).

Honestly, the price and overall size of these trucks is insane, and it bugs us to no end. The only reason the price is this high is because the manufacturers know these idiots need to show their "status".

The only thing I can say in favor of the one on the right is carrying capacity (weight). I associate with equestrians, and hauling a horse (1000-1500 lbs each) in a trailer (4-13k lbs, depending) (I know the truck isn't holding it all, but it has to pull and stop it). The truck needs the engine power and torque to do that, while at the same time have enough weight and tire contact to stop with all that extra weight.

Working construction type things, and picking up builder materials? Hands down the one on the left. Hauling anything beyond the bed of the truck? Absolutely the one on the right.

Yes, some of it. Have you read it? Or read the scholars direct translations? I have read parts to contrast how the modern translations differ from the original intent. And they are often quite significant. For instance, the idea of Hell does not exist in the original texts. When you die, and you don't go to paradise, you just end. You go to oblivion, not endless torment. The idea of torturous hell was Dante's doing, and religions ran with it. Satan isn't even really a thing in the original Bible, but interpretations could be made.

I added those in to the conversation because apparently the only thing that makes the Bible legitimate is it's oldness. Both those mythologies predate Christianity and the Bible.

In fact it's not too difficult to see where the Bible mythos stole many ideas from existing religions.

Side notes:

Due to how much of an asshole the Bible God is, I like the interpretation that the Bible God is actually Loki, and had the book made so people thought he was the good guy.

The god of the Bible is a tantrum throwing, overreacting, jealous, hypocritical, and genocidal prick, who doesn't deserve any adulation or worship.

Interesting (had to Google it)

Honestly, I didn't enjoy it until I heard it made so many bigots mad. I much preferred China's in Beijing this last time.

Using the claim as proof of the claim is still an unsustainable argument. Find really old book (translated dozens of times by people with agendas), book must be true because it's really old.

You know what's even older? Norse mythology.the epic of Gilgamesh. Etc.
