  • I pulled up to a crossroad, stopped at the stop sign, and waited for the 2 vehicles on the main road to pass. Another car pulled up across from me and came to a complete stop at their stop sign, they waited for a moment, then started to go. They looked again, saw the other vehicles coming, stopped (not yet in the main road), then started to proceed again. They stopped again (this time in the main road). They started to go again and got hit by the first vehicle on the main road. The next vehicle on the main road was an ambulance who saw the whole thing and stopped.

    Honestly not sure why you would stop at a sign, see traffic coming then go and stop multiple times if you weren’t on something or trying for some fraud.

    Well, I try to understand why something is included. I’ve run arch for years (BTW), though my current computers are running Fedora and Debian. I won’t say I know everything about Linux or even installing it or booting it, but I do know more than I would if I just followed step by step.

    NEVER run a command you don’t know the purpose of. That being said, “sfc” stands for “System File Checker.” It is a utility that can help restore corrupted windows files. sfc /scannow checks your protected files and restores corrupted files from a local cache. The process can take some time and you MUST let it finish it’s entirely.

    In conclusion, this command is generally safe to run.

    The Bible doesn’t say that you shouldn’t edit or correct the Bible because the authors of the Bible didn’t have the rest of the Bible.

    Moses gives some explicit commands to the Israelites to not modify the commands he gives in Deuteronomy, but that doesn’t really apply to the other books.

    Likewise, some guy named “John” warns against anyone adding or removing from the account of his acid trip in Revelations, but that doesn’t really apply to other books.

    The “Bible” was constructed over a long process and while what many think of as the “Bible” was finalized by 400AD there are still disagreements today (See Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Pentecostalism, Mormonism, and many other smaller sects).

    The original authors wrote disparate works for distinct purposes at distinct points in time. They were not writing with the goal of manufacturing a multi-thousand year story bound as a single volume.

    How do we know the full story?

    We don’t. We use archeology, biology, anthropology, and other scientific disciplines to determine a likely path of the story of humanity as a whole. Some disciplines use the books of the Bible and other contemporary accounts to guide areas of future study, but if you want a single source for the history of the earth, humanity, or even the Israelites the Bible isn’t going to offer an honest perspective.
