On the topic of hard drives I added another dead one to my collection. It was a 250GB parallel ATA drive that was once hosted in a simple NAS. Now most of it is in the trash, the magnets are stuck to an old water pipe and the platters are mixed up with the platters from some other drives. I keep thinking there's some scope to do something cool with a bunch of old hard drive platters but I'm not sure quite what.

Having passed the strong magnets over the platters several times and then mixed them all up I'm confident the data is mangled.

                              But this is is not a futurist statement.

I am wondering if you can elaborate about this conclusion that you state?

My reason for asking. The Acts verse is concerning Joel 2:28-32. Which, based on those (prophetic) verses, encompasses a time period from when the Holy Spirit is poured out (v28-29) upon the earth (all mankind) and all throughout the (or this) age where people are redeemed (saved) through believing, by faith (v32 - whoever calls on the name of the Lord), in Christ.

When Peter said "but this is..." he was talking in the present tense. It's happening, right here, right now, in front of you. It's no longer something that will happen at some point in the future.

Do you believe God has removed the Holy Spirit from earth?

Peter says Act 2:14  But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 
Act 2:15  For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 
Act 2:16  But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;                                But this is is not a futurist statement.

What's the theology behind the idea Eve was a gift?

Theology? Was not thinking in lines of theology... my mind went to the Christmas gifts that are returned. 

I want to play pro basketball.

Beautiful .

I agree that race is irrelevant in the Chauvin conviction

Drug status in Floyd is certainly relevant to the charges and conviction

Race was not irrelevant Chauvin was convicted because of Floyd' race.

Floyd chose to use drugs , his body his choice, . The title of this thread assumes Floyd was murdered. Was he?  Or did he die of his drug use. Nothing about the whole case is/was justus. USA is now a nation of mob rule.
