It’s madness IMO to use these passages as justification.

Generally I shy away from people posting Bible verses, but I’m this case it’s relevant.

1 Samuel 15:3 New International Version

3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” Read full chapter Footnotes

1 Samuel 15:3 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the Lord, often by totally destroying them; also in verses 8, 9, 15, 18, 20 and 21.

Now, a lot of people get upset when your take things in the Bible out of context, so to be clear this story is about how God rejects Saul because Saul didn’t kill the livestock too. Given the economics of the time, this was the treasure of their people.

This theme is repeated several times throughout the old testament. A neighboring people is threatening Israel, so they wipe them out and destroy everything they own. Outside of Israel, is not an unknown tactic, but this goes further and kings are scolded or punished for keeping something back.

This doesn’t mean Jewish and Christian are bad. Modem Christianity and most other people with reason don’t see these as things we should repeat. I personally feel that this falls under the whole live by the sword/die by the sword statement.

Sorry if invoking the Bible pisses some people off. I have been chewing this for a while and kind of needed to write it out to define my own position.

The tech has changed significant over the years as well, and that includes both modular, prefab, and mobile homes.

It’s out grandchildren that won’t need two sets of wrenches. Maybe.

Prefab houses are a thing here, too. I was still kicking around the idea of generating a house on site.

My though is that they failed to understand concrete itself. Concrete works best as a monolith. Literally here, a single rock. As a laminate, it loses strength. From what I was reading, you can do concrete in multiple pours, but people were suggesting to ensure that the rebar stuck out enough between pours and then some other things like bonding adhesive and wetting the layers between pours.

I like the idea of automating the structure. Bricks can be laid as pick and place, and cement can be extruded. This creates a reverse centaur, IMO, where someone is watching the labor and becomes responsible for the quality.

The house is always going to need several different structures added: plumbing, electrical, insulation, HVAC, internal construction and facade, cabinetry, etc, etc, etc.

Being able to shit out as much of that as possible on the spot would save tons, but you still need electrical items whatever. 3D printing may not be the best solution for a house, but it might be a step to something better.

It would make sense because the pursuit of square dancing in the 1940’s in the United States was part of Ford’s agenda to push out the influence of black jazz in schools.

Also, according to the Country Dance & Song Society, square dancing is only held together by layers of whitewashed black history. The Smithsonian goes further to say that Native American people also influenced the music.

But, to answer your question, Christian churches do create a community and have events where people hang out, pray, etc. As a child the church I was brought to had outreach events where we handed out food, protested, and we once helped clean up some weird factory building. It’s easier for an org like that to get people to come together. There is guilt for missing service and people constantly ask you to do this thing or that.

I’m not sure how it would be accomplished, but creating non-religious community centers would be a huge benefit.

The amount of repressed misogynistic hate porn out there tells me that there are many people that literally get off on forced female submission.

Also restricting legal access to what we currently refer to as legal porn is going to cause an explosion of sites that don’t care whether there are abused children on their site.

That could be the play though, to create this fetid atmosphere and say that’s why we can’t have privacy.

It’s like they see the coming aging population and are freaking out. My dudes, it will be okay.

I get it.

Well, it’s my phone, so I feel I ought to be using whatever keyboards I want. My guess is my org isn’t differentiating between company assets and employee property.

I believe my org has restricted what keyboards I can use, if you check my other reply here.

Here is what I am seeing. I can select Samsung keyboard and gboard, but it appears that Heliboard is not on an approved list.

I’m not in an influential position in my company, but I was directed to someone to discuss it. My guess is that there may have been a compromise using a keyboard app in the past and this is their mitigation.

I did add one and it’s made things much better. What I’m saying is that it has much tighter tolerances. Also, I keep catching backspace when I begin words with m, and there is no immediate undo option after I erase half my typing.

It’s mostly the fact that I’m swipe lazily, and Gboard does a lot of heavy lifting translating my languid gestures into coherent speech. Bonus points for the fact that it knows I misspelled something and put the correct spelling in there. This means that I could do better if I paid more attention to what I was doing.

The real hurt IMO is being forced back into Gboard from teams.

I have been using heliboard, but I’m forced to use teams, so I have to keep switching back. The swipe gestures require much more precision than Gboard.

Yeah, encrypt your shit.

You are right. I was thinking they provided better login services, but in reality the best they can do is force a port and offload your certs.

This is crazy neighbor territory.

I was going to use the the porque no los dos meme, but if has a restraining order against Trump gooners.

I advise strongly against advertising jellyfin directly to the Internet. Maybe through a reverse proxy, but based on the question I have to say no.
