Yes. You don't get to cherry pick from Scripture what you like and don't.

I wouldn’t sue if he hadn’t proceeded to lie about racial slurs. Since he chose that route, I’d sue.

Not sure why it’s not the Caesar’s New Orleans Bowl. Probably some dumb NCAA rule

Why does a private university have its own police department in the first place?

Angeles Crest is where all the supercars in L.A. go if they want to drive curvy roads. Big car spotting area on the weekends, like the Tail of the Dragon for Los Angeles. Search "Angeles crest tunnels" on Google maps and you can see exactly where this happened. There is a pull off area right outside the tunnel where people watch and listen to the cars coming out of the tunnel.

Unless you are in first/business class, I really don't understand the need to sit in an airplane seat even longer.

This is not what AI was meant for but a byproduct.
I keep my families budget in an extremely detailed excel sheet. I'm talking about I know where every penny is going for the next 12 months.
I used AI and about 8 hours of my time and turned that into a full blown desktop application. I'm talking about database, API calls, front end, everything functional in 8 hours. I intend on turning into a mobile application and selling it.
That's what AI was meant for, doing the leg work for ideas.

re: What Philosopher Today Will Be Studied in 100 Years?
Posted by Gravitiger on 12/17/25 at 7:33 pm to RanchoLaPuerto
I think that, through the enmeshment of academia and the technocracy in the 20th century, there aren’t really as many true theoretical philosophers. Those who would have been drawn to that in prior generations are more likely to be researching/making economic and social and tech policy.
Playoff Sit/Start: Pick 2 of these 4 RB
Posted by Gravitiger on 12/17/25 at 10:28 am
Kind of funny league rules:
0.5 points per reception
0.25 points per carry
1 point per 15 rush/rec/ret yards (with fractional points)
1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 W/R, K, D, 2 IDP
I have Jonathan Taylor locked in as RB, but need to choose among the following four for my two flex spots:
Javonte Williams (DAL) vs. LAC
Omarion Hampton (LAC) vs. DAL
Woody Marks (HOU) vs. LV
Aaron Jones (MIN) vs. NYG
Thoughts?

quote:It’s because Reddit and other PC social media fora censor words like "kill" and "suicide."
I think someone thought that was a clever/joking way to say kill in a more politically correct sounding way.
After that it caught on because it's kind of funny.

Yes, it's insane. But you were comparing budget to debt, which is not accurate.

And we had the budget balanced in that time too.
It's currently 38 trillion and growing
