Yes the Dead Sea Scrolls were dated 300 - 100 BC and they contained writings from The Book of Enoch (among many other writings like the Great Isaiah Scroll).

I would love to have some discussion on the Book of Enoch.
Biblically, the idea of hell changed drastically from the Old Testament to the New Testament. While there were some vague ideas of a punishment of the angels (Isaiah 24:21), and a mention of a resurrection of the dead to ever lasting life or everlasting disgrace (Daniel 12:2), most concepts of Hell -- The Lake of Fire, The Pit, Outer Darkness -- weren't described in detail until Jesus's time and after.
This is where the Book of Enoch is strange to me. It talks about many of these "new" concepts in depth and is dated at least 100 years before Jesus. Many of the teachings of Hell and punishment of the angels in the New Testament (Jude 1:6, 2 Peter 2:4, Revelation 9:1–2; 19:20, 20:1–3, 20:10, 20:14–15) are paralleled in Enoch.
How do you all think about this stuff?

It's ~2000 ip addresses that make up the exit nodes. The file is around 16kb and it's updated every hour. It's incredibly easy to blacklist those ip addresses from accessing your site. Don't believe me? Try accessing the Campspot website through the Tor network.

Tor is easily blocked. There's only ~2000 exit nodes (nodes that actually make a request to the website for someone).
VPN's aren't easily blocked because of an interesting dilemma. There's often fewer "exit nodes", but they're intentionally known. If an entity decides to block those vpn ips, they cut off a considerable amount of users.
Thank God for vpns.

I made a niche website for discovering rv parks and availability using an interactive map. Uses nostr for location entity and availability (g tags are cool). I bootstrapped it with Florida MHP list data and pulled information from several rv park booking providers (Campspot, Roverpass, etc).
This was my paternity leave project. Pretty fun!

This might be one of the funniest stories in the Bible. For context, Haman absolutely hated Mordecai.
“So Haman came in, and the king said, “What should I do to honor a man who truly pleases me?” Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king wish to honor more than me?” he should bring out one of the king’s own royal robes, as well as a horse that the king himself has ridden—one with a royal emblem on its head. Let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king’s most noble officials. And let him see that the man whom the king wishes to honor is dressed in the king’s robes and led through the city square on the king’s horse. Have the official shout as they go, ‘This is what the king does for someone he wishes to honor!’” “Excellent!” the king said to Haman. “Quick! Take the robes and my horse, and do just as you have said for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the gate of the palace. Leave out nothing you have suggested!” So Haman took the robes and put them on Mordecai, placed him on the king’s own horse, and led him through the city square, shouting, “This is what the king does for someone he wishes to honor!” Afterward Mordecai returned to the palace gate, but Haman hurried home dejected and completely humiliated.”

Often I look at prominent prophets and leaders in the Bible and wonder what they did that God recognized them for (Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Ezekial, David, etc). The answer is deeper than in appears.
One side of it is they were chosen by the will of God -- simply because He wanted to (Exodus 33:19, Psalm 115:3, Ephesians 1:4-5). The other side is that God clearly recognizes characteristics and heart posture -- often different than what man looks at (1 Samuel 16:7, Isaiah 55:8–9). A few repeated qualities I see are: humility, obedience, and faith.

“Then in my vision that night, I saw a fourth beast—terrifying, dreadful, and very strong. It devoured and crushed its victims with huge iron teeth and trampled their remains beneath its feet. It was different from any of the other beasts, and it had ten horns. As I was looking at the horns, suddenly another small horn appeared among them. Three of the first horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it. This little horn had eyes like human eyes and a mouth that was boasting arrogantly.”

I need some help.
I'm making a website called RV Parker that displays on a map rv parks with availability. It also shows other information like cost, address, accepts bitcoin, website, etc.
Should I have the RV park information as just a "nostr account" (npub) kind 0 or also include a separate event for the entity? I'll need to pull information from one of these to display the park information on the map. Is there anything similar that I can peak at?
The park availability snapshot (per day) I'll have as a replaceable event (maybe kind 33000).
Should I create an event for the RV Park entity (some entity kind?) or just leave it as an npub / kind 0?
