It’s not rocket science. It’s so obvious you can’t actually answer the question.

So I ask again: what has any of this to do with patriarchy? Or perhaps it’s too complicated, I should ask instead “what as any of this got to do with with a society ruled by male heads of family units- usually at the clan level and usually the eldest male.”

You’re also imputing an awful lot into a non-answer. The question Jesus was asked, is “was it lawful to pay taxes to Rome”, and that’s a question that has no right answer. Or at least, no answer that doesn’t have people trying to kill him.

In the scripture, Jesus even recognizes this fact. He gave a non answer.

• Multiple currencies were in use (the coins minted by Tyr were thought to be particularly good as they were known to not debase their currency, which is why the temple only accepted that currency for temple tributes and offerings.).
• taxes were not always paid in currency. They could also be paid in goods (especially crops or food,) and useful services.
• the coins were owned by whoever owned them, not the emperor. The seal and face of which ever emperor was on the throne only represents the authority to mint the coin, not ownership.

And again if he gave anything but a non answer, he’d have been killed. Either by the Romans or the Jews. Which doesn’t matter… except to say the Jews probably would not have been as torturous about it.

Finally, the concept of paying taxes to the lawful government and tributes to the temple being two different obligations far predated Christianity- probably also Judaism, for that matter.

The question wasn’t about “are secular governments allowed to collect taxes” or even what rates. Ultimately, the question was “is Herod Antipas (the then-king of Judah, who was a client of Rome) legitimate,” (because guess who was paying taxes to Rome.)(also take a guess at who was making a claim to Herod’s throne.)(hint: the messiah was supposed to be a king of line of David…)

What has paying taxes got to do with patriarchy?

What’s Jesus playing word games to avoid answering questions with no good questions got to do with patriarchy?

You’ll notice that he didn’t actually answer the question. “Give to ceasars what is ceasars” was a dodge- the question was on paying taxes to Rome.

Saying “no” would get him executed by the Romans.

Saying “yes” would delegitimize him in the eyes of Jews since the Messiah was supposed to rise up, be king, and kick their asses out of Israel, and then, you know, do the whole world domination thing.

Either way it ended with someone killing him, so he gave a non-answer that sounded smart,

Do share!

my go to involves zesting the lemons and making a simple syrup with that first, (and a few sprigs of mint.) then juicing and diluting (and maybe adding a few more sprigs o’ mint if I want to be fancy.)

To be clear, though, my niece will watch me making it and frown at all the lemons going to waste (She likes to eat them straight up.)

You, eh, wouldn’t be Tales from Taberna?

(You, eh, might like that YT channel, history, frequently food history.)

So… can I crash at your place? Those look delightful.

Clean the lenses cover with acetone. You’re doing a public service keeping that lenses clean and crisp.

Anything can fly if you strap a big enough rocket to it.

Though I’m guessing that’s not what she meant.

It’s important to note that fax machines aren’t point-to-point either. Your data is still passing through someone else’s switches (probably fewer hops, mind.) and then there’s the physical security on the other end to wonder about.

The last fax I saw was in high school and it was left out for any one to grab documents from. (Well. Inside the school library right near the librarians desk.)(she had a somewhat unearned reputation for being terrifying, so, you’re mileage might carry there.)

Yeah. I guess that checks out.

I bet you could make lots of money introducing them to the copy machines that can also automatically scan and email documents…

Does anyone still use fax machines?

Please tell me I’m not the only 90’s kid that air guitars to the 52k dialup.

White is considered traditional. At least by some corners of the internet. (I won’t judge unless it’s some absolute rot gut box wine, though.)

Or finish the pasta in the sauce so it takes up some of that goodness (and the sauce gets some of the starch water.)

There’s also the question of white or red wine.

for people wondering, this was on a 3d printer…

…can’t do it on a normal printer.

That’s gotta be some kinda blasphemy.

Which, it’s probably good that I’m an atheist….cuz that looks really freaking good.

(legally, not like drug cartels or anything lol)

I don’t believe you……

They may have gone legit, though. (Although… there is that island that makes the cheese with the jumping maggots… that’s technically illegal.)

Portable Ac units with exhaust ducts out of the cave or whatever special storage space in the meantime would go a long way here.

Long enough that temporary might turn permanent.
