How does that even work? Just wine it?

My guess is that the majority of communist regimes were killed by external countries.

Just a hunch, can’t bother to look at numbers though, but thinking about people like Sankara.

The Soviet system

The Stalin system and kept later on… Rather far away from what a soviet system was supposed to be.

“Incentives” for the purchasing party.

Scary owl yes, because its cry is considered scary.

Dame blanche translates as “white lady” for all it’s worth.

Effraie means “scares”?

Yes

In French, this owl is called “l’Effraie des clochers” or “chouette effraie” or even, “dame blanche”,

More often chouette effraie, and modern use of dame Blanche may refer to white powder to use up your nose.

almost the plot of “The moon is a harsh mistress.”

A desktop running a low usage wouldn’t consume much more than a NAS, as long as you drop the video card (which wouldn’t be running anyways).

Take only that extra and you probably have a few years usage before additional electricty costs overrun NAS cost. Where I live that’s around 5 years for an estimated extra 10W.

Clean the PC and change the fans. Fans make noise when old.

Yes, with dosbox.

There is a case in the Acts of the Apostles where two people lie to the Church, and pretend to donate all of the proceeds from selling their land to the Church and drop dead. This wasn’t because they didn’t give it all, it’s because they publicly gave in front of many others as a show of holiness.

Nope. Acts 5 follows acts 4 (the “But” makes it clear), and acts 4 is all about giving up your riches to live in a commune.

That’s also supported by the teaching that rich people won’t go to heaven (unless you can pass a camel through a needle hole) and James.

Acts 4 along mark 10 are pretty clear that Christians are supposed to give it all and live in a community where “as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.”

This is also supported by the teachings that literally states rich people won’t go to heaven (unless they give it away).

So Jesus and early christians were all about living in a commune.

Now, most modern churches come from a roman imperial implementation of an uprising religion at a time where different temple within polytheism were associated with concurring political factions leading to unstability. Christianity was authorized, then chosen as a state religion and accordingly structured. Things branched out from there, becoming a central part of international politics throughout the middle ages, then different flavors of christianity raising from protestanism (which remain globally a minority compared to catholiscism), but they are all structured towards their own goals rather than Jesus’s teachings.
