Linux Nerd. Westminster is Bestminster. I am but a simple country penguin who makes wry remarks here and there.

[Jared Nelson @brothernelson]

So I met @wcf_linux at #pcaga and can confirm he is not actually a penguin. Maybe Twitter isn’t real life after all…

@owenbroadcast Humorously, I once heard a Campbellite pastor tell that joke, except it was four elders at a Campbellite church.

@OVTweetmarck The Scottish Parliament has a dynamo under their car park that uses John Knox’s spinning as a source of clean renewable energy. It powers central Edinburgh from the castle to Holyrood

@OVTweetmarck (And yes, despite being Presbyterian I can chatter about different types and lineages of vagantes at length, because that’s been essentially a hobby of mine since late college.)

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

@OVTweetmarck vagante?

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

@theamaroguy @jon_stokes Yeah, but people were replicating it on Grok, so I found it funny that I got something innocuous there

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

@ingelramdecoucy It could be a matter of field width, too. It’s already the longest entry, adding the Christian label adds twelve more characters

@IMAO_ “I don’t know. I was facing the other direction.”

@pentamom65 @HansFiene And it has one of the best taunts in it: “Let not the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off.”

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

The most important skill for posting online is to align your level of “dishing out” with your capacity for “taking it.”

It’s been done, but failure to achieve it is far more visible than success is.

@sgodofsk Combining a forced cap gains realization on top of an estate tax reversion is just punitive. It’s basically running the same tax twice.
And basis stepup is a rare tax rule that makes administration much simpler/reduces red tape, so of course all the big-brained idiots hate it

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

@WVPitt That said, the revisions seem less to mandate a particular political theology and more to allow previously rejected views while ruling out at least some previously confessed ones. But the new form seems much less specific in its prescription than the old one was.

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

@WVPitt So “pope is Antichrist” is no longer positively confessed but is not considered an error. It may be held wo/a scruple. But affirming the power of a civil magistrate to establish one denomination of Christians? Per the revisions that’s now considered to be some degree of error.

@KenShepherd I love the California signs

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

Whatever else you say about the matter of Elisha, the pack of youths, and the she-bears, one lesson is clear:

The man of God can bear scorners.

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

@jon_stokes As a Presbyterian I would be required to make that a basket-hilted broadsword

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

@SpaceKoala Source: I just now made that up

[wcf_linux @wcf_linux]

@SpaceKoala Clearly he was a retired operative for Republic Intelligence, and this is the deep cover identity they gave him so he could retire.
