They say that if the Earth were flat, the cats would have pushed everything off it by now. 🤣

I do Gmail, Google Maps, and YouTube in Chromium (all Google properties). Everything else in Firefox. And medical research strictly in a Tails virtual machine with a Tor browser.

But you’re right—there’s more separation I should be doing with my Firefox monolith. 🫡

In the knitting/crafting world, they’re called UFOs: unfinished objects. 🤣

Most of the ancient cultures have a death and resurrection myth of their deity. And then there’s this: The moon “incarnates” the light of the sun during the night. The moon “dies” at the end of its cycle, is unseen for three days, and then rises again as the New Moon. It’s a very old story, as human as you or I. But I think it’s good that you’re not letting the priest class control you.

Millionaire is the new poor.

Man, I really don’t understand 4D Chess. 🤔

The way I look at it is this: my understanding is that the universe is fundamentally Grace. And once you touch grace, truly experience it, and know it, it becomes obvious that if Jesus had not been born, the universe would have created someone like him anyway, since its nature is grace and it can only create from its nature.

So I would encourage you to pay less attention to who they say Jesus was and, instead, study his way of being, his ethic, and how he lifted people (individuals) out of their darkness.

That guitar needs a cut-away.

My beard is too long and grey to allow IPv6 on my network, especially in DNS resolving. 😬

My comment was based on Peter Gutmann’s paper entitled “Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog.”

But it’s way more fraudulent than Google presents. Quantum computing researchers design the experiments toward finding the answers they’re looking for. Then, when the circuits give that answer, they claim success and get a gold star. That’s not science, mate.

I think it’s becoming more critical than ever, personally and for humanity’s sake, to spend less time online and on devices. I’ve started meditating again, to quiet the madness, and I’m reading more books deliberately.
