It’s about the same footprint but much shorter.

My understanding of volume is awful. 3.8L sounds so much bigger than the volume described by 16.2 x 15.6 x 15.2cm. Like, my brain goes, “that’s almost two 2L bottles and those are huge!”

Like I said, Protestant churches come in many flavors. MANY flavors.
What you’re saying is like, “Every quadrilateral I’ve seen lately has four equal sides and four right angles, I think you’re wrong about them only needing four sides.”
Evangelicals are (generally) Protestants (although “Evangelical” isn’t really any sort of organized body but rather something people identify as), but not all Protestants identify as Evangelicals. Those who preach the Prosperity Gospel would profess to be Protestant or Evangelical, but not all Protestants or even all Evangelicals buy into Prosperity Gospel.
Again, the most progressive denominations of Christianity are Protestant. That said, so are the least progressive denominations. It’s a huge category.

The cube is smaller than it looks. It’s slightly bigger than the GameCube. 3D print a handle for it and it’s as portable as a machine gets!

1080p looks fine on a 4K (2160p) screen assuming whatever you’re using to display it (be that your machine, receiver, or the TV itself in the case of “smart” TVs) is good at upscaling. Worse case scenario it looks the same as 1080p content looks on a TV of the same size, since 2160p is literally just 4x the pixels of 1080p.
1080p can look bad on a 1440p display though, since it doesn’t go evenly in and you’ll need good upscaling.

Protestantism.
Protestantism is Christianity but Jesus is Replaced with Capitalism. If you’re rich, God has chosen you. If you’re poor you have definitely committed every sin.
To help the poor is therefore a betrayal of God.
That is very much not Protestantism. Protestantism is simply the branches of Christianity that descend from the Reformation in the 1500s, “Protesting” what they saw as corruption and even heresy in the Roman Catholic Church. Broadly speaking, Christianity falls into three major categories: the Roman Catholic Church (with the pope and whatnot), Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. Protestant churches come in many different flavors.
Most (if not all) of the most progressive and Christ-like churches are Protestant.
What you’re talking about is Prosperity Gospel. Which is completely antithetical to Christian theology, but that doesn’t stop greedy megachurch preachers and televangelists from pushing it onto ignorant people who know nothing about their own faith.

RDR2 really doesn’t need a remake. It came out in 2018, and its graphics are still pretty amazing today.

You don’t have to do any of that other stuff. Is ancillary. The game will reward you for it, but it’s completely unnecessary.

I was the same way. I suggest you do finish it though, especially if you’ve done some of the side missions along the way. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the way they work actions you made, missions you did, and choices you took into the end is really cool and it made me get all verklempt.

- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
Weird how I never once said metric horsepower was part of “The Metric System” and how I also gave the kW value in my very first post.
It’s not that I don’t know what you mean, my friend, it’s that I am not using the word metric the same way you are. That’s the whole point. You can say colloquial all you want! I never disagreed! You can talk about by and large all you want! You’re not wrong!
Metric horsepower is a metric unit, it’s in the name. Whether it’s an SI-unit or part of “the metric system” is completely irrelevant. I am technically correct, the best kind of correct.
I am shocked we’re arguing about this. Again, I apologize for trying to have fun on the internet, I promise it won’t happen again.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
I’m not ignoring your point. I’m saying your point is irrelevant. This is a unit in use today, with “metric” in its English name. I don’t care that it isn’t part of what is colloquially called “the metric system.” That wasn’t the point.
But don’t worry, next time I think to myself, “I could reply with a fun bit of trivia I know and make a comment that is both correct and also not at all what the person I’m replying to means or expects,” I’ll first ask myself, “What would Dasus say?”
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
Oh I read your pedantry. You just really don’t want to say, “Oh, interesting, I didn’t realize there was ever a metric horsepower.”
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
Got it. Metric horsepower isn’t metric. Forgive me for thinking a recognized metric unit is metric. And also for not putting the kW conversion in bold or something.
🙄
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
So I’m not goanna say your wrong per se. But you’re not exactly right either
In what way am I not right? We’re talking about an electric motor for automobiles, and I gave a metric unit that automakers use. What’s more, I also gave it in kW! 🤣
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
What are you on about? The metric unit for power is the Watt
They said anything but metric. The SI unit for power is the Watt, sure, but there are other metric units that are not SI units. One of these is the metric horsepower. 1 metric horsepower is defined as the amount of power required to raise 75kg of mass 1 meter in 1 second against Earth’s gravity. I used pferdestärke because automakers use the “PS” abbreviation in my experience.
This unit exists as an attempt to have a value comparable to historic mechanical horsepower measurements but defined with metric terms.
Obviously Watts are the preferred unit for most things, but the automotive world still likes horsepower. So, metric horsepower.
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 1 week ago:
Well the metric version is about 1014 PS, but honestly the difference between horsepower and pferdestärke is pretty negligible.
Sadly “745 kW” doesn’t sound as cool as “1000 horsepower.”
