How much life insurance do you have?

A fair amount... She is trying to kill me.

Fair warning, I am unexplicably grouchy this morning. Short fuse=overly snarky comments. I apologize in advance. I have no idea why, it's just a "Stare Daggers at Everybody" sort of day...TL

This must be you...

Nice pic! Nice bokeh.



In the 18th century and until 1 January 1980, the United Kingdom defined alcohol content in terms of “proof spirit”, which was defined as the most dilute spirit that would sustain combustion of gunpowder. The term originated in the 18th century, when payments to British sailors included rations of rum. To ensure that the rum had not been watered down, it was “proved” by dousing gunpowder in it, then tested to see if the gunpowder would ignite. If it did not, then the rum contained too much water and was considered to be “under proof”. It was found that gunpowder would not burn in rum that contained less than 57.15% abv. Therefore, rum that contained this percentage of alcohol was defined to have "100 degrees proof".

An alcohol content of 57.15% abv is very close to a 4:7 ratio of alcohol to the total volume of the liquid. Thus, the definition amounted to declaring that (4÷7) × 175 = 100 degrees proof spirit. From this it followed that pure, 100% alcohol had (7÷7) × 175 = 175 degrees proof spirit, and that rum containing 50% abv had (3.5÷7) × 175 = 87.5 degrees proof spirit. To convert the percentage of abv to degrees proof spirit, it was only necessary to multiply the percentage by 1.75.

The use of "proof" as a measure of alcohol content is now mostly historical. Today, liquor is sold with labels that state its alcohol content as its percentage of alcohol by volume (abv). United States law requires that liquor labels must state the percentage of alcohol by volume. The proof number may also be placed on the label, provided that it is close to the abv number.

I did not know that! Thanks for the info!

I should have known Wikipedia would have the answer. And, I get it by marriage as well. My great-uncle made the recipe for 'Old Granddaddy' whiskey, and there was a moonshine still in the Smithsonian that linked to DW side of family. Surprisingly, we are not related.

In hermeneutics the principle of sensus plenior (plain sense) states that anything that expands beyond what the Bible already says about itself cannot be true..

the "I roll with Seminary people" statement was just validated.

Nice flower picture.

 

[AJRitz]

Surprisingly, we are not related.

At least not by Kentucky definitions.

 

[wasnotafan]

Regardless, my main concern is over the view of the universal Church as a whole. I worry that people will use this false prophet as a brush to paint all "christians" and the overall view toward irrelevancy will get a huge boost.

Well stated and not so say seminarians are nerdy, but on a damp, dreary afternoon a little Weird Al is good....

When we were married almost 11 years ago and went for marriage license, the clerk asked us if were cousins. I don't know if that's KY law or if the clerk was having some fun with us.

Think it's too late to ask? A belated wedding present from taxpayers.

In Colorado all you have to do is sign the paperwork so my wife and I went to a nice restaurant with our friends and my dad and we got married. It was a lot of fun and we got free drinks.

It comes down to which is the superior argument? In hermeneutics the principle of sensus plenior (plain sense) states that anything that expands beyond what the Bible already says about itself cannot be true. Therefore, anyone who comes around saying that the Bible says that on Saturday, May 21st at 6:00 PM local time the rapture will happen based on some inexorably strange combination of math and secret knowledge cannot be true. If it were to be true then it would be simple to understand. This will be proven on Saturday at 6:01 PM "local time".

All of the other prophecies that were stated to occur in the past have occured - there are some that are still yet to come. If Jesus is who he says he is, and if his claims are true then we can know that come Saturday, May 21st at 6:01 PM the only thing that will change is that we will have a bunch of disappointed people who were drummed up into a frenzy at the hands of a false prophet.

I've been a huge proponent of truth seeking. When I was a teenager, that's what led me away from the faith of my parents and, when God did the mind-blowing work necessary to save me, that's what led me back to faith, though not the faith of my parents.

As a group we do seem to have the gift–o-gab…
(and every once in a while, we’ll even say something relevant or educational )

I didn't know it was today, I didn't take any notes. Will there be a test?
