jrathage.bsky.social @jrathage.bsky.social · 07/07/2026That's a standard which applies to criminal trials where an individual's life & liberty are at stake, where the consequence of failure is going to prison. Why on Earth would we apply that same standard to the enormous privilege of representing an entire state in the US Senate? 130 0

This time around it's the Combine First Aid station from Half-Life 2. Still a WIP; most of the shapes are nailed down, and it's now a matter of connecting them in a robust manner. 000 0

jrathage.bsky.social @jrathage.bsky.social · 20/06/2025The Bible also recounts God ordering his chosen people to slaughter every living thing in certain cities—man, woman, child, and animal alike. Every Christian picks and chooses what passages they follow or ignore, because the Bible contradicts itself. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...biblegateway.comBible Gateway passage: 1 Samuel 15:3 - New International VersionNow go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them.

jrathage.bsky.social @jrathage.bsky.social · 09/02/2025I built a Lego model of an H.E.V. charging station from Half-Life (or rather, from the fan remake Black Mesa). It uses 1,268 parts, and includes a flexible power hose and flip-down keypad. Free instructions to build your own: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-210... #LEGO #Half-life #blackmesa #halflife 091 0
