Made in Jamaica.

The "Banana Boat Song" originated in Jamaica around the turn of the 20th century as a work song sung by dockworkers loading bananas onto ships at night. The song is a call-and-response chant depicting the workers' desire for the day to end. Harry Belafonte's 1956 version, adapted by Lord Burgess and William Attaway, became a massive hit, popularizing the song and starting a worldwide calypso craze.

Starting from the 153rd digit in π, the following 3 digits are 111



The letter A in Hebrew, Alef, has a gematria value of 111 when written out in full

1. א Alef 1 1 80-30-1 אָלֶף 111

Alef is a symbol for G-d.

Psalm 111 states in verse 1

Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. Ps 111:1

The word

LORD

read from right to left yields the tetragrammaton with the gematria 26.

Alef is composed of the letters Yud-Vav-Yud, which equals 26, the numerical value of the tetragrammaton YHVH

Mathematics is the language of nature and the essence of reality. The universe is written in the language of mathematics. The Fibonacci sequence can be found in our solar system, both in space and time, and continues on Earth down to the smallest molecular structures.

The number π is known to us as the circle number on the spatial level. Its significance on the temporal level, however, is largely unknown.

The first appearance of the number 888 in both π and f477 is strikingly similar. In both cases, the same two numbers 80 follow!

No I'm not, I just asked a question.

rjs330 said:

Thats not what I read. Everything I read actually had no numbers of each that were picked up. I read Reuters, NPR, and a bunch of others. They had total numbers, but no one said how many were illegals, nor now many had expir3d visas nor how many haf visas, but were not allowed to work nor how many had visas that were not expired and allowed them to work.

Click to expand...

So you didn't bother to read the link I provided you in post #69 that you quoted and replied to in post #72? Horse/water.

rjs330 said:

But according to the things I read the government stated that they had taken illegals, those that had expired visas and those who had valid visas but were not supposed to be working.

Click to expand...

It's unclear how/if those with "business visas" were violating those visas. Unfortunately, the government often issues statements that don't comport with reality as shown by videos, subsequent statements, etc.

rjs330 said:

How long did it take? I do believe that they should put those who claim to be citizens first in line for confirmation. Once placed in detention it shouldn't take any more than a day at the most to confirm that they are citizens either through birth certificates or citizenship papers or a passport. It might take longer on a weekend since most times other government agencies are not open on a week end.

Click to expand...

Sometimes minutes, sometimes days, sometimes much longer. Sometimes they ignore the confirmation and judges' orders and just deport them anyway. If a citizen produces ID on the spot, then they should not be detained, let alone jailed, at all (for being here without documentation).

rjs330 said:

But bottom line is, if you suspect you arw working with illegals you might want to report it and or work somewhere else. I think reporting it would be best.

Click to expand...

That sounds like you.

rjs330 said:

Yes, and Americans do feel that way. A LOT of them. Why don't you want illegals to go home and come legally?

Click to expand...

Americans also do NOT feel that way. A LOT of them. Your question is unanswerable as the premise is flawed and not applicable.

rjs330 said:

No its not because polls showed that Americans were for deportations of illegals and shutting down border. A lot of them. Upward of 60%.

Click to expand...

And what do polls say now that it's clear how these deportations are targeting people who are here legally while awaiting their hearings instead of the promised worst of the worst criminals?

rjs330 said:

Now that has dropped to about 50%. So it has gone down since January.

Click to expand...

Ok, so there you go. People didn't realize that it would be friends and neighbors instead of criminals. Now that they do understand, even you have admitted that support has waned, so maybe don't claim that unmodified "Americans" support whatever you believe when unmodified "Americans" also do not. It's a really bad rhetorical device that doesn't help credibility (if you care about credibility; if not, never mind).

rjs330 said:

But most people at the time were for it. I actually thinknits dropped due to rhe left wings media and social sites being so against it. The media can be effective and we all know what influence social media can have upon people. If more people actually saw what people were doing against ICE I think it would go up again.

So no, its not meaningless.

Okay, then it is a meaningful appeal to emotion.

He's not legally a citizen. He was not born here and was never naturalized. His legal argument goes against immigration law. There is nothing in the law that says you are a citizen just becauae your parent becomes one. How do I know? I'm from an immigrant family. My dad became naturalized before me. We were told that I and my sister had to be naturalized too before we were citizens. I did it before I was 18 because it was harder and more costly afterward.

Click to expand...

This is in dispute. There was a judge's order against deportation BEFORE he was deported, pending the case being resolved. He was deported while a stay was in place. We know that DHS has a history of this since these mass deportations began under Trump's orders.

Unfortunately your responses are not really in response to the evidence that I posted. Just because you say that it is wrong does not count as evidence. I addressed every verse that you posted in good faith but the best you have is to accuse me of not following 1 Peter 3:15. I think I’m done here.

It is my understanding that our past post prove in most cases, not all, that each of us responded to each others texts enough to understand each others general mindset, howbeit, different. Unfortunately, you see it differently.

So what is to be gained by our present endeavor? Well in doing this we uphold the counsel given in, (1 Peter 3:15). Second it exposes us to a different mind set, a perspective perhaps we have never given thought to, or clearly understood. In so doing it may strengthen our existing beliefs, or expose us to something new, and different. As christians we should be growing in knowledge in our spiritual walk with Christ. Thus, it is not possible for either of us to grow in knowledge least we have exposure to something new and different, outside of our present mindset.

I'm sorry that my last statement with regard to (1 Peter 3:15) offended you, certainly not my intent. The texts was included as a reminder that we as christians have a responsibility to answer all question concerning out faith, and in a respectable manner, which you have done in the past, and I was hoping you would continue.

Sorry you've chosen to end out conversation. Blessing to you also.

I am not the one complaining or objecting to certain words. I read the whole thing and never fixated on specific words that I had to remember them.

The point is I read the whole article and then read the section before the results again to get the context. You did not seem to even mention the context which at least gave a rational for why they used "watts' as a unit measure. You seemed to think it came from nowhere.

Stopped_lurking said:

Ok I havn't got that far. Thats just recent. I haven't been keeping up lol. I will go back and look. I was speaking of earlier posts and not just you.

Stopped_lurking said:

What you mean to say is probably that I don't provide articles that have been peer-reviewed. But what claims have I made you think should have been through peer-review? The basic definition of power? You can easily find them at Wikipedia.

Click to expand...

Ok so for example the stone softening or moulding. There is at least peer review and formal tests and analysis laid out in a proper way where the explanation or rational is explained with tests supporting the claim.

So if you claim that the stones are not moulded. Then you need tests on the stone and anaysis that will contradict the claims of the paper. Not picking out a small piece without context or analysis.

Stopped_lurking said:

You gave me the article you should know the context.

I do and I explained this. I am saying you should have known it if your going to criticise it.

It is unclear if you understand what peer-review is. Since this is not my field my opinion, my views are always going to be that of a random person on the internet. You'll have evaluate it in that perspective.

Click to expand...

Thats ok and we can do that. But we then have to also acknowledge that what we are doing is not proper science. I mean if people are calling formal articles published online with tests and analysis as psuedoscience.

Then certainly personal unqualified opinion on social media should be regard at least the same or even less credible. I find it ironic that some are claiming their personal opinion holds more weight than a formerly published article. At least they lay out their tests and analysis.

Deceptive Daily Caller headline. Mayor describes closing stores as one of the ills of private grocery stores, leaving food deserts behind, so her proposal is to create public grocery stores.

"We cannot allow" these ills to affect the people of the city. Hence, an alternative.

Her proposal for a 90-day warning for grocery stores to have mass layoffs only makes sense in the context of grocery store closures.

It means EXACTLY what it says - our works - the things we do, what we say - are judged. We are saved.

What does that mean? Does it mean after we leaving this life we are judged and then might have to spend sometime in jail (purgatory) until we get our act right? or does it mean exactly what it says?

One time - not after a jail sentence - one time.

I agree completely with your words, but not with what you mean by some of them. There is no such thing as people who never had the opportunity to reject God, so, no, the Bible does not address them. We all reject God continually, all day long, with every breath we breath, even when we think we are accepting him, until he changes us, born again, 'born from above', raised from life to death.

Always in His Presence said:

I didn't say he coined the name only that he distanced himself because not one of his promises about the ACA came true

1. You can keep you plan - wrong
2. You can keep your doctor - Wrong
3. Health insurance cost will go down - Wrong

Here is the truth:

1. Premiums have increased by 80%.
2. From 2010 to 2023, the average premium for family coverage increased 80%, from just over $13,000 to nearly $24,000.
3. Total healthcare costs for a family of four now exceed $30,000 per year—increasing from $18,000 per year when Obamacare was passed.
4. Deductibles have increased over 50% since Obamacare was implemented in 2013.

Remember this beauty?

Boston on October 30, 2013, President Obama promoted the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and emphasized its affordability. He stated that “for many Americans, health insurance will cost less than the cost of your cell phone bill or cable bill.”

Click to expand...

The ACA is not without its flaws, and some of the commitments made by President Obama during its enactment were arguably optimistic. Nevertheless, it remains the prevailing healthcare option.

Since its passage, congressional Republicans have attempted to repeal the ACA 42 times, yet they have not presented a viable alternative. Over the past 14 years, GOP politicians have consistently highlighted the shortcomings of the ACA; however, no substantive proposals have been offered as a replacement. This pattern suggests a tendency to criticize the system without demonstrating a genuine interest in constructive reform or proposing workable alternatives.

Your argument appears focused primarily on critiquing President Obama's statements from 15 years ago, as well as rising health insurance premiums, rather than offering a good-faith alternative to the ACA. It gives the impression that opposition is driven more by partisanship than by a commitment to seeking effective solutions for American healthcare.

Always in His Presence said:

Well said - not one of those points has to do with purgatory -

Click to expand...

Actually they do since the entire point of Purgatory is to complete our sanctification so we are indeed perfected and ready for heaven.

If Scripture is clear that our sanctifcation is something that is an ongoing process, and nothing in Scripture indicates that we are all completely sanctified at the time of our death, the only conclusion is that there is something that has to happen to us after death that completes that process.

You also have not answered my question regarding 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 that tells us that at the time of our judgment, when all our deeds are disclosed and those not worthy are burned off, and that we will be saved, but only as through fire, what do you think that means?

Of course you grow Bananas. Sure, the production can't keep up with demand, but with a solid rationing plan, the USA can certainly reach banana autarky.
