Luke 2:14 [14] “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Reading some of the translations for the quoted verse, it's really interesting how so many different sentiments can be expressed with very little changes of words/phrasing.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”

Just you mentioning Doom makes me wonder how fast will we get someone to run Doom on individually controlled Christmas LEDs on a Christmas tree.

Fun seeing HN restart to switch to the Christmas theme, in three steps: https://share.cleanshot.com/vJZv6k03 (restarting the server) https://share.cleanshot.com/qFyM347P (online but temporarily readonly) https://share.cleanshot.com/kW8kY7mp (back online!)

You must have grabbed that first one awfully quickly!

You’d have more luck asking for world peace.

I'm taking a moment to recognize once more the work that user @atdrummond (Alex Thomas Drummond) did for a couple years to help others here. I did not know him, don’t think I ever interacted with him, and I did not benefit from his generosity, but I admired his kindness. Just beautiful. Ask HN: Who needs holiday help?

Real respect isn't lost over one bad take.

Adding my opinion: Especially if he's done so much good and especially if he's calling out Israel.
