You know, every once in a while, God reminds me that He loves me. It feels nice. Like a warm hug.

[Ben @benjacorn]

I leave y'all alone for 2 years, and this is what happens?!

[Ben @benjacorn]

@Manticcccc @OWLViewerr ah

[Boston Uprising @BostonUprising]

One last ride…

Our battle for 3rd begins now 🥲

[Ben @benjacorn]

@BostonUprising @FLMayhem you fought well. But mayhem needed this. They have worked too hard for this, not to say we haven't. Good Job Florida.

[Boston Uprising @BostonUprising]

Heartbreaking loss. Wow, @FLMayhem is the real deal. Go win it all.

We aren't finished yet... playing for 3rd place soon

[Defense of Ukraine @DefenceU]

To the skeptics out there who lack confidence in the strength and abilities of our Ukrainian soldiers, we want to say this: We are moving forward. We are defeating the enemy. We will win.

We wish to thank everyone who has stood by our side since day one, and who continues to do so. We will always treasure your friendship.

[Ben @benjacorn]

@Mormonger welcome to a lifelong obsession. But this one is a good one.

Every 6 months, millions of LDS Church members watch "General Conference"

21,000 of them gather in a remarkable piece of real estate to watch in person.

Most have no idea how massive, one of a kind & record-breaking this building is.

Some mind-numbing facts 🤯:

- There's a man-made waterfall inside that's fed from a natural creek, plus a 4 acre garden on the roof!

- It's 1.4 million square feet and only took 3 years to build

- It's the largest theatre-style auditorium ever built

- The concrete footings for the roof structure are 8 feet thick and 40 feet wide

- It's built to withstand floods and 8.4 richter scale earthquakes

- There are no columns or obstructed views across all 21,000 seats, as shown below

- The upper level is designed to sink 5/8 of an inch when full (freaky)

-Every piece of the stage is movable, designed to be converted for stage productions and concerts

- There are 50,000 miles of electrical wire in the building, enough to circle the globe twice

- The organ is one of a kind, and the organ pipes range from 3/4 inch to 40 feet tall and tool 3 years to install

- The carpet and upholstery are designed to reduce reverberation from the speakers

- From the top of the balcony to the podium is the length of a football field, and you could fit a Boeing 747 inside

- An additional 18,000,000 pounds could be placed on the roof without it collapsing, with a weight-bearing capacity of 300 lbs per square inch

- It was built to last 150+ years

- The main chandelier is 3 stories tall

- It was made from the same granite quarry as the famous SLC temple across the street

- The parking garage below hold 1,300 cars and is 450,000 square feet, as big as 2 Costcos

- It took over 1,100 workers and 80 subcontractors to finish

- The garden on the roof has a full irrigation system and an elaborate snow melting system and water collection system

- #LDSConf is translated into over 100 languages in 60 translation booths downstairs with the help of 800 volunteers

- Conference is broadcasted to over 200 countries around the world and has been happening for 193 years

- The speakers are leaders from the LDS Church, speaking across 5 2 hour sessions on Saturday and Sunday every Fall and Spring, including today!

- Talks are given center on Jesus Christ and other topics related to our faith

Anyone can tour this building for free. Regardless of your faith, or no faith even, Temple Square is an awesome, special place to visit, even if you're purely a real estate aficionado

I better wrap this up so I can go watch myself. You can stream live in YouTube.

Hope you found this interesting! Follow @mhp_guy for more cool stuff sometimes I guess.

@Manhattva jealous.

[Dr Manhattva @Manhattva]

I'm on my house deck, looking at this magnificent edifice's garden roof right now.

@MrMooseVA Please Boston it would be so historic 🙏🏻

[Ben @benjacorn]

@Mormonger he couldn't understand them, when read out loud, Emma realized it was simple things, such as Nephite, or humility, or other such words. This is book of truth. A sacred book. A book for all eternity. Those who denie it are shrouded by their worldview. They need only honestly pray

[Ben @benjacorn]

@Mormonger not to mention he had only a 5th (i think) grade education. He barely read, could barely write and was a good farm boy. If this book is fake, it is the greatest American story. But it IS true. I know it is. Emma recounted many times joseph had to sound out words, because 1/x

[Ben @benjacorn]

@Mormonger Rather than break their covenants with the lord. Also, i thought you were referencing the Biden banner, didnt realize you had been blocked and thats what you were displaying. Apologies 2/2

[Ben @benjacorn]

@Mormonger I fully support Biden, and your right. A man experiencing same sex attraction is able to commit to a loving relationship with a woman. it would be difficult, but that's marriages in general. My sister has friends experiencing this, and have chosen to live celibate lives 1/x

[Ben @benjacorn]

@CertifiedCavemn Its not racist, IMO, but its not my word to use. Usage dictates the racist quality, not the word solely.
