Yeah my church pays one pastor and feeds about 200 families per week.

When quoted in churches, it’s usually quoting from the letter 1 Timothy:

If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:3-11 NIV

I moved three Win 10 boxes to linux mint cinnamon this week. Twenty more and I’ll have made good progress on my little nonprofit. But I’m probably at least a decade from being able to go 100% away from windows and Mac’s. Fuck em both.

It’s easy at least. I just got my wife set up with it on a laptop that was running Windows 10 previously. Even the banking app she has been using in Windows has a Ubuntu release that worked pretty easily. She wasn’t even put off by having to use the terminal to install it. I’m calling it a win.

I don’t mind seeing people. I don’t want to be seen.

There are tons of nonreligious expressions of it.

Everyone else laughs at you, you might as well get to join in.

I agree. But this place is somehow worse. Fuck, I think I might go back. FML.

For dogs that are bred for snow, no question. My last dog was a rescue who was cold on cold summer days. He hated snow, he’d shit inside rather than go out.

My last dog wouldn’t wear them. He was a rescue so I didn’t know his background, but if you touched his paws he freaked out!

Yeah I’m a cat person and when I go outside in the snow I want to go alone. No brown or yellow snow, no wimpering because their paws are too cold. Just me and some crisp solitude.

I have always simply refused to memorize anything.

Yeah this is exactly why I mentally checked out of chemistry. Memorization was being pushed harder than conceptual understanding.

I run a nonprofit that owns a few venues with great sound systems, so I deal very closely with a lot of musicians. And man do they all love their Macs. The windows attachment mostly has to with older large donors involved in our accounting. But neither of those things are going to change super quickly. I just keep switching over more machines one by one.

As much as I have no desire to play either of those games, their existence on Windows affects me exactly zero. I’m still a mixed Linux and Windows user (and a couple of Macs I don’t want), I manage a lot of machines between my family and my small nonprofit. I like Linux a lot but I doubt I’ll ever be able to walk away from Apple or Windows completely. But a man can dream! People keep dragging me back in…

I still have a TV exactly like this I keep around for my NES. My N64 is always connected to my main TV.

I had a 32" and it had a flat screen meaning the glass wasn’t curved but it wasn’t thin. It was also higher res than 480p, it was a transitional model before flat screens rolled out. It weighed 160lbs! I was moving it carrying it by myself and had to rest it on my thighs for a few seconds. They were bruised for a week.

Honestly we’re probably way too late to stop that from happening. That’s been part of Elon’s plans for a long time. Battery power, robot tech, space technology. And Elon isn’t the only player eyeing what’s out there.
