    I have a couple good ones for you all --

    Fitzcarraldo - A slightly unhinged German man in the 1800s hatches a wild plan for getting rich off the south American rubber trade and bringing opera to the continent. My favorite Herzog movie I have seen so far. Kinsi is incredible and you can feel so much how big and REAL movies were before everything was CGI-d.

    The Last Castle - A 3 star general has been convicted of an unknown crime and is sent to a military prison. While there, he realizes how corrupt the prison and its staff are and ends up organizing and leading a mutiny/revolt with the other prisoners.

    I think it was Kant of Locke that already answered this for me.

    If you believe you can affect change in the system, no matter how small, you should work to affect change instead of destroy the system.

    The new system after the chaos from the ending of the old system isn't really knowable. There's a ton of risk and uncertainty about the new system, thus, if you can move the needle on the old system that is preferable.

    I still think we are able to affect change though we are moving towards the other answer, but not yet at all.

    Make it less clean/well designed maybe or build a website resume. I find people with nicer looking designed resumes are usually making up for lack of xp

    If you need a simple proof to break the YHWH stuff, may I suggest:

    • God is all good
    • God made man in his image
    • Why does so much suffering and evil exist in the world?

    Another interesting one is Christianity being polytheistic in a couple of ways.

    • The holy Trinity doesn't really seem like 1 God at all
    • ESPECIALLY with how mean and spiteful OT god is. Remember God is eternal.

    My favorite story about that is Arians who saw this logic gap and decided OT God and NT God must be different since they're eternal and so fundamentally different. They were swiftly excommunicated of course.

    This feels kind of YHWH centric. Early Hindu/Jain/Bhuddist doctrine was barely a religion from what I gather and was more a philosophy on how to live (yoga school = stretching body and mind good)...

    This feels kind of YHWH centric. Early Hindu/Jain/Bhuddist doctrine was barely a religion from what I gather and was more a philosophy on how to live (yoga school = stretching body and mind good)

    I think the thing atheists (myself included) miss a lot is the purpose of religion over its 1000s of years of rule. You hint at it in your first bullet.

    We all hold different beliefs in our head. The further I go from my community, the more different the beliefs are. The world and strange things especially are dangerous and risky the further back in time we go. How then do humans trust each other enough to trade goods or culture or blood, etc? A supernatural thing based on faith and not in reality would be a great tool to do that with! Now we can all have something in common and have less a chance to freak out and run from or kill each other.

    I think the time for this as a necessity to enable trust is gone, pretty obviously, but to remove it from the equation feels like asking why they didn't just use hardened steel in the bronze age.

    Pick a thing to do in each place and make it as banal or fun as you want to.

    • go to Graceland in Nashville and view the Elvis cult
    • Count the wig shops in downtown Louisville or go get a hot brown at that hotel
    • eat 'chili' (blech) in Cincinatti.... on spaghetti or whatever
    • look at that big arch in pittsburgh

    Yeah -- You almost certainly want git and its structure only commits files with changes -- that is its whole purpose. You might look at sync thing or rsync too based on your comment

    I had been working on getting my 3d printers more automated but just finished that. Last thing to do is build an octoprint plugin that adds a youtube stream to the dashboard.

    Now that Stable Diffusion 3 and that new Tencent 3d Model weights were released, I'm going to try to revisit my Wikipix AI plugin which garnered an INCREDIBLE amount of hate/interest on the Wikipedia reddit. Plans are to move to comfyUI, SD3, add 3d modeling and build better SD flows for different types of images: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD38XIkJ81A&feature=youtu.be

    I agree -- I think the road to Indy all the way up to Indy and how they still manhandle the cars really hurts drivers not coming thru FIA series. If you watch Grosjean he had the opposite problem for a couple of years after moving to Indy (he still has the crashing problem tho :P)

    Seargent and others just don't have the gentle muscle memory I think -- Even rookies coming from F2 struggle with that.

    Sargeant's off in Japan that was commented on was a good watch and showed well how easy it is to be super proficient driver and just go off -- He clipped the inside which sent him wide and on the kerb. He didn't adjust his braking length being on a kerb with less grip and so he couldn't slow down for the next corner. All of that happened in maybe 3.5 seconds haha!
