#LCMS - looking for a wife in the wasteland. Engineer. If I can’t over explain it then it’s not worth fixing.

Young evangelical men are sprinting to Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy to escape evangelical youth group culture. This is driving them out! They are trading sentimentalism/emotionalism for tradition, history, doctrine, and high liturgical practices.

@stevemcniven @itskyleconner @Tesla @TeslaCharging @elonmusk I think the rumored door switch change (pull up instead of push down) would do the trick. Wonder if we would get a retrofit….

@stevemcniven @itskyleconner @Tesla @TeslaCharging @elonmusk @elonmusk - I love my Tesla but I want my dog to not open the door! Can we get a fix for pet mode? What about a lockout for the passenger door opening when the car is stopped but still in head?

[William Weedon @WmWeedon]

What so very often happens instead is that they readily drift to the local “big box evangelical style” joint. They have no qualms about dumping the doctrine. Truth is, they already had. WAKE UP FOLKS.

@lisavsworld Yeh you gotta go around the boomers.
https://t.co/WUUmSVLIMU - Wisconsin and Texas have their own versions of this too.

@KeaganGigaTexas It’s the most disappointing thing about my Tesla - my dog can escape by mistake. FYI they can open then door when the car is IN DRIVE when you are stopped at a light or stop sign!

[Ben - the Nerd @LutheranBen]

@stevemcniven @itskyleconner @Tesla I agree - my dog can just open the door. We have a child lock for the back and the manual door open mechanisms - why can’t we get an option on the screen to disable all doors and windows switches in dog/pet mode.

@lisavsworld @y0w0kv Looks like time for a trip!

@RevFisk Putting in a few random text files to tell a LLM to be Christian will NOT change the architecture of “next post probable word prediction.”

It’s very dangerous to beleive the LLM in anyway is a “person” or a “being.” https://t.co/RKYfjQBob6

@LaLaLisaCooper @CPHAcademic This is both hilarious and causing some poor proof reader a massive headache. Font issues happen.

Or it’s a statement about the sources. :)

People don't want to hear this... but this is actually Millennials. Andy Weir is a Gen X, but the sincerity of his books speak to the generation under him. Millennials grew up in a time where they bullied each other for being sincere as the nihilism of Gen X culture was the dominant force. As soon as we became adults, we split into two groups: 1) continued on the path of cynicism into drugs, debauchery, and pushing back against personal responsibility, or 2) were free of the conformity of our youth and could finally do whatever we wanted and ernestly as we wished. This is why authors like Andy Weir have an audience, filmmakers like Denis Villeneuve as well. People are craving sincerity after a lifetime of being told not to care.

@lisavsworld What’s the link to the test?

A few people asked me to make an image of how much irrigated farmland would use the same water required for ALL ChatGPT usage, including every part of the process. I did a botec and my best guess right now is that inference uses about as much water as training, and power generation uses ~5x as much water as the data centers themselves, so it looks something like this. The water cost of manufacturing chips is marginal compared to how much water they use over their lifetimes.

Clearly it’s a 50 mile minute!

[Neil Shenvi @NeilShenvi]

As a young man, your minimum base fitness level should be:

• 50 push-ups
• 50 pull-ups
• 50-lb bench
• 50-minute mile

@lisavsworld I’m also amazed at the 40-60 at the Bible study!
