  1. Past hour
  2. He goes to U Lab, he'll probably go to LSU if their offer is even in the same ballpark as A&M's.
  3. I would just like for all of the cults to stop killing each other and being assholes in general. If they want to believe in a sky being - fine - just shut the fuck up about it and leave the other cults alone. More importantly - leave those of us alone that have zero belief in any religion.
  4. We didn't offer him, so there's that
  5. Yeah it's about how they make decisions, not intelligence per se.
  6. The Internet broke this country. "Oh, I see you are interested in loony f'n conspiracy theories ....let me serve you hundreds more so you click and make me rich"
  7. So, there's an active group that wants to disable/destroy weather radar across the nation because they believe it is how the weather is controlled. The ringleader, who claims to be an independent journalist, has livestreamed from radar locations, showing the exact location, fences and other security measures.
  8. Except you DID just speak to them and said they seemed shady?
  9. Clickity clack motherfucker!
  10. How nice to know this miracle device is just as simple as a cell phone, because other than once a month or so my phone never has a problem that makes it useless.
  11. Then he proceeds to pick the school that offers him the most money.
  12. Unless your school is playing them
  13. As pointed out, the 2016 CC that turned down the grant because OBAMA was a seasoned NASA admin who commanded shuttle and ISS missions. Dude WAS smart, he's just a selfish fuck
  14. Wordle 1,480 3/6* ⬛⬛🟨🟨🟨 ⬛🟨🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Connections Puzzle #758 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨
  15. This was the first new post since the last time I visited this thread. Anything new come up? No? Okay, cool.
  16. On that note, an open source product actually can deliver FSD to any modem car! It's got about the same quality as FSD, but it's only $1000
  17. I would like to sit on a cloud. That sounds fun. I don’t think it’s possible. Did he really spell it that way?
  18. Darkness and Doubt Above all, there was a sense of distance from God, what the sixteenth century Spanish monk John of the Cross called the “dark night of the soul” or the sense that the “heavens were like brass” bouncing back any prayer sent heavenward. Lewis says, But go to Him when your need is desperable, when all other help is vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double-bolting on the inside. After that, silence. Worse than that, there were doubts about the goodness of God. It wasn’t that Lewis was in any danger of becoming an atheist: “The real danger is of coming to believe such dreadful things about Him. The conclusion I dread is not, ‘So there’s no God after all,’ but, ‘So this is what God’s really like. Deceive yourself no longer.’” ---I can't just leave it there This smashing even applies to some of our questions. Some of our questions are unanswerable, at least in the way we ask them. Lewis says: When I lay these questions before God, I get no answer. But rather, a special kind of ‘no answer.’ It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, ‘Peace, child; you don’t understand.’ . . . Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are there in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask—half our great theological and metaphysical problems—are like that. --- It is hoped that these insights might be helpful, although I am aware of the dilemma Lewis described in The Problem of Pain: All arguments in justification of suffering provoke bitter resentment against the author. You would like to know how I behave when I am experiencing pain, not writing books about it. When we all experience pain, a little courage helps more (Lewis observes) than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all. https://www.cslewisinstitute.org/resources/c-s-lewis-on-grief/
  19. Saturday morning.
  20. The partial transcript, which I assume is genuine, shows county commissioners acting on emotions and feelings instead of analyzing costs and benefits. It's sad when people like that are elected to positions with power.
  21. Today
