That is very true. You can’t try to analyze it, you just have to accept it as true no matter what. To do otherwise can break that belief. It’s why many non-believers used to be Christians until they broke this rule.

Which statement crossed the line for you?

Anything from the Bible can be interpreted differently. Render unto Caesar seems to support some rule following, even if it’s used as a separation principle between earthly and heavenly things. Was Jesus a full-on anarchist? Maybe selectively, but given everyone was to be servant to God it wasn’t absolute.

Then clearly we’re resisting “natural” progression, whatever that means. It’s definitely against the direction for economic growth, and that runs the world. Line go up.

100% is not realistic physically. You should phrase the question as a world where everything that’s possible to be recycled is recycled, and where it isn’t we go back to materials that are naturally recycled or reusable. Basically a world where plastics and other materials that are one-time use are banned. It’s a great topic, as we don’t remotely realize how much we throw away. The scale is huge. The change in what is affordable or possible would be huge too.

We could do a lot better, and it would be impactful. Some things have to be disposable in our modern world though, at least with current technology. Just medical use alone is a big example.

So like early Reddit.

“It’s the same picture.”

Always has been. The only difference is what they’re selling.

Shrimp.

It’s balanced now. For the previous thousands of years we had a plastic deficiency, but that’s fixed.

Red Tailed Hawk screech

But maybe not AI. AI goes off training of real photos and would have variation in the surfaces, while someone doing this in Blender would be lazy and use the same texturing for all.

I’ve said it before, early on he should have become reclusive and hired PR people to filter his ideas out to his companies and the public, and he’d be considered a prodigy and genius and wouldn’t have the self-induced failures he does. But that goes against his narcissistic personality, so it wasn’t going to happen.

Take turns sleeping and keeping watch.

That’s odd that you’d describe them as Nickelback or worse, modern country music, when part of why they’ve gained and lost fans over the years is because their albums tended to have different sounds to them.

And stepped down as President in the end to let someone else lead. For a better comparison of leadership now, look at Don’t Look Up. Far more realistic in so many ways.

So we should display religious things of only the original occupiers of the land? I don’t think she’s going to be happy with the conclusion there.

It’s the Fediverse. You can literally run your own little instance on your own or or a friend’s computer and restrict only the ideas you want to talk about. When you say “this place” you mean everyone else since there’s not a single entity controlling the flow of discussion.

And if “we” sold out, I’d like to know how much each of us got. I seem to have missed a check.

Incredible book. Takes a chapter or two to get used to the writing style (2d person present tense if I recall).

Correction: 3rd person. Somehow the present tense throws a different reading rhythm that you have to get into first.

The fact that the paper is partially crumpled adds so much to it.

In some cars ( don’t know if it applies to all with modern systems) you can have enough amps in the battery to move the starter relay, making the clicking sound, but not enough to fully engage or turn the starter. Also in my past experience I had one car (VW Beetle) where over long driving the heat would cause the replay to get “gummy”, so it would stick enough to prevent it from moving. An old trick there was to short the terminals to free it. I wouldn’t recommend that on a new car though, too many electronics that can get damaged.

I would investigate the battery and its connections first. Make sure it’s a good battery still, that everything from the terminals to the starter AND alternator are good. An alternator charging problem can lead to a battery that is slowly not getting a full charge and eventually dying, even if it’s not old. But until you get it to turn over, it’s one of these parts of the starting system, it’s not too complex.
