A lot of us in the Midwest say BFI, with I being Iowa. Think it has more to do with none of us wanting to be in Iowa.

That reminds me of an article from back in the late 90’s or early 00’s about how much of the money he did make came from other people using him basically. They would talk him into projects and make him think it was his idea. He was such an easy mark and now we are starting to see it. Simply making fun of him will cause him to double down, major ass kissing will make him like you.

It makes more and more sense that he failed to keep a casino afloat.

Sometimes you work in a codebase that was decided on by others for reasons you don’t know.

They aren’t the same thing so the comparison is weird.

endl has a flush which is important when doing something like embedded work or RTOS development. If i was doing multiple lines they all were \n until the last line when i actually want to push the buffer.

Obviously depending on the tuning of the compiler’s optimization multiple flushes could be reduced but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.

Its not a misread, your interpretation skips the important parts. The problem with your interpretation is right here:

be blessed without the burden of knowledge

The actual sin was both the man and woman breaking their covenant with God,

The knowledge is “of good and evil.” Until eating they couldn’t know that breaking a covenant was wrong no matter what their god has told them. They did not know that they should listen to what their god said, the concept of “should/shouldn’t” was devoid of meaning to them. While they had free will, literally all actions were purposeless and the two would just bounce around the garden not knowing if they should actually listen to their god or not. This becomes more evident when you read further as well as look at the stories from neighboring cultures this was borrowed from.

Later in the chapter their god speaks to the other deities in the pantheon about how the humans must be cast out of the garden as having their new abilities, may find the tree of everlasting life and become as powerful as the rest of the gods and supernatural beings. The idea is that having knowledge of the ramifications of one’s actions and living forever would mean that humans would no longer be controlled by the gods. That having free will, knowing what is good and what is evil and being immune to the wrath of the gods would render them all powerful.

This narrative then follows that their god casts them out into the world riddled with pain and suffering and humans eventually lose their knowledge of the past and how their god has their thumb on them. This is why Satan, “The Accusor”, is called the bringer of light. As sin is defined as a transgression against god, Satan is there to show how the fall of man was truly an enslavement by their god. Rather than leave humans dumb bouncing around the garden or immune to suffering, their god keeps humans ensnared in this system of life, suffering and everlasting torment. the story of the garden is what makes their god relevant when they otherwise shouldn’t be.

Agreed. I just have started to lose faith in the voters. Reps push hateful politicians and Dems don’t seem to push hard for solid candidates.

I’ve used it at work (tech job) and found it useful when people fully understands it’s meaning. When they grok groking something.

I agree that they and the dems in general are way too safe. But i wonder how accepting dem voters would be with a more aggressive candidate. I’m sure Millennials to Gen Alpha would probably be fine with it but i wonder if a good portion of the voters would poo poo a someone moving more towards the a more extreme (in presentation) candidate.

What if they made a hard line decision on a topic and held firm. The whole fracking thing is a good example. They should have just picked a side and stood their ground. instead it was 100% pandering to whoever was the loudest. Personally I would have voted for someone with conviction rather than someone who was waffling but I am not sure every other liberal voter would do the same.

My comment was because people want to say there is nothing we can do. The issue isn’t about options, its about education and finding a way to make progress when a good portion the electorate will only be in the way.

Spotted one of the naive ones 🙄

Should stop looking in the mirror then.

Totally off topic but anyone else pissed he named it Grok? Musk is like the turd version of King Midas. Stop touching our stuff!

So are you saying democracy doesn’t work? Yes there is the corruption and all the horrible shit that goes on but no one ever had the chance to nip that in the bud before it got this bad?

The People had elections and they slowly setup then current situation. It is the current citizens having to deal with the system created by those in the past. Some are naive to how the government currently works and some are too easily swayed by misinformation so it is an uphill battle. But we still have free and fair elections so pushing for policy change is possibly. We just have 50% of the population shooting themselves in the foot not demanding the real types of change they actually need.

because charlie, they are all a bunch of nitwits

That’s why you learn to make fried rice. Just use day old badly cooked rice.
