there are a few of us still bodging around out here.

I’m curious if anyone has experience with this stuff with an AMD card.

If I could finally ditch my windows gaming rig I would be a happy man.

you better watch out for the DS9 people…

Both sides are all just humans being the worst we have to offer as a species.

Egged on by ridiculous stories about men in the sky, they fight for no reason when we could all just treat each other as human.

Same. Thought maybe some local woodworker produced a beautiful lectern.

No, turns out it’s from amazon with some spray paint and Arkansas is just being Arkansas.

👍

I find it positive to think about these writers, inspired to try to create something scientific and exciting but lacking the education themselves to do it justice, but then inspiring generations to learn and explore, who then return having learned enough to spot the problems.

I hope Star Trek can use science, and the generations of fans now inspired, to keep pushing these stories further because it feels like our collective need for Star Trek’s vision is as deep as ever.

I understand, that’s why I was trying to translate their statement into reality-based words. I thought you were defending their position based on your response.

But … they don’t mail the pills randomly. A person in the state where it is outlawed is requesting something from a state where it is not.

I don’t see how the CA doctors are in any way colonizing anything.

The California Catholic Conference opposed the law, arguing the state is “engaging in ideological colonization against states and citizens that do not want abortion.”

Are … are they trying to say CA doctors are mailing abortion pills to people who didn’t ask for them? What does this statement mean? Maybe what they meant was something like: “We do not believe women have a basic right to control their body, whether those women are Catholic or not, and that control should rest with the government of the state they reside in.”

I made no value judgement on this. I just pointed out this is common and it is surprising if someone doesn’t understand it.

You may not agree with it, but you understand it exists and that it is often tied to how someone is raised.

You seem very confident in a lot of what is written in a very old translation of a hodpdge of work.

You are drawing a conclusion I do not from the same text.

It seems odd to me that a divinely inspired work could be so confusing or open to interpretation.

And given so very many passages where Jesus calls for love, why do you spend so much time justifying your interpretation that says Jesus hated a particular group?

There may be food for thought here for both of us.

I’d be interested if you could share the original text, what you’ve shared is a translation. I don’t read Sanskrit or Aramaic so I am not sure I’d be super useful, but I imagine other people might be able to help.

It isn’t my holy book. I read enough as a child to figure out it wasn’t a divinely inspired work.

Thank you for citing the passages, but I similarly to the other commenter disagree that he is saying he hates them rather than their actions.

The word hate isn’t in there. I might call a gang a “brood of vipers” but that wouldn’t mean I necessarily hated them.

Lastly, and for what it’s worth, I’m not clear if the “Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees” are meant to be quotes of Jesus or if they are Matthew.

Still, thank you for sharing something specific and not just hand waving.

Cite the whole passages, friend. If you’re going to argue your point, bring the receipts and let people discuss. You’re making the claims…

Did he? He flipped over some money lenders tables and he debated the religious leaders of the day. He may have disagreed with them but I challenge you (and I’m an atheist, I have no real horse in the race about supposedly divine beings) to find a place in the bible where jesus was described as hating anyone.

Yes, many people are raised to have pride in the town, city, state, country or planet they are from. It’s so common and cross-cultural that I am extremely surprised you would need an explanation by the time you’re capable of writing comments on the Fediverse.

Now that we have the pedantry out of the way, how is your comment meant to be helpful or move us forward? If it’s neither of those things, why are you doing it? All of this is rhetorical, of course. Just food for thought for us both.

FWIW: these types of password rules are discouraged by NIST -

1. Eliminate Periodic Resets

Many companies ask their users to reset their passwords every few months, thinking that any unauthorized person who obtained a user’s password will soon be locked out. However, frequent password changes can actually make security worse.

It’s difficult enough to remember one good password a year. And since users often have numerous passwords to remember already, they often resort to changing their passwords in predictable patterns, such as adding a single character to the end of their last password or replacing a letter with a symbol that looks like it (such as $ instead of S).

So if an attacker already knows a user’s previous password, it won’t be difficult to crack the new one. The NIST guidelines state that periodic password-change requirements should be removed for this reason.

If Evergrande even actually built it.
