As a Christian, I have to say we have earned your response. I don't expect this to mean anything to you, but I am sorry we have behaved that way to you and others.
I cannot wish Hell on anyone. But having you wiggle your fingers "hello" at him as you enter Heaven long before he does?
As a human I am horrified, & as a Christian, I'm horrified for a truckload of additional reasons. "Glorify" in this sense is to worship. So he wants women to worship men, not God.

Easily the best thing he's ever eaten.
Fridge Horror: Asgardians have such long lifespans, they could not have evolved an enzyme or regulation for adults to deal with lactose.
Can human commodes handle the powerful result?
I forget where I was going with this. Dang.
I am sorry. I'm not used to anyone having the foggiest notion what I'm talking about. It's not that they're not intelligent. My wife is probably smarter than I am, but she'd explain that the concept of a person having one intelligence is antiquated and wrong.

Huh. I'm sort of wishing I hadn't answered. There is the possibility I will be compared unfavorably to a LLM.
I make jokes. An LLM would know better. I'm writing for my own entertainment and make obscure references to media no one watches any more.
I'm not dead yet! Monty Python & the Holy Grail
...a freakin' nightmare. It looks complex, but a good chunk of that complexity is because evolution is blind, can't hear, and doesn't have enough intelligence to be stupid. Evolution is the survival of what survives. Complexity might just be a drunk walking around a lamppost...Brownian motion.

...so we estimate. Who knows, maybe an asteroid with a freeze/slush cycle might be where a nucleotide forms easily?
So there's no real good answer to your question.
I "joke" about everything I learned in bio is either wrong or incomplete. Genetic regulation in eukaryotes is...

...it's life. There are reasons, based on how they think life came about that 10 steps might be rare.
Now, the problem is, how many steps is an amoeba? A multicellular rotifer? An ant colony? A human? Those numbers are hard to calculate. (Actually, most of those numbers are hard to compute,

Life, if you define it as the ability to metabolize, reproduce, and evolve, would be anything that has a complexity that's improbable. It's been a while since I read that book, but I think the number of steps isn't seen between about 8 and 12. If you've got something that requires 15 steps,

Sara Imari Walker's book "Life as No One Knows It" attempts a definition, of sorts.
How many steps does it take to make water? Hydrogen and oxygen combine. 1 step.
How many steps does it take to make a strand of DNA in E. coli?
Statistically,forming that strand is incredibly unlikely.

Pealing glue from your fingers is a form of stimming, which allows Neurodivergent people to focus on the class.
Teachers find it less disturbing than me taking bites out of my styrofoam cups & spitting the piece into what remains of the cup.
How the heck did no one notice I was ND?
Star Trek Lower Decks: A Moopsy: the cutest, most dangerous predator in the galaxy.
A Moopsy can inject chemicals into your body that liquifies your bones and allows them to drink your bones while you are still conscious and are suffocating because you can't breathe.
It says "Moopsy!" in an adorable voice.
Their position is they don't care if it's all multiple generation Americans who will be hurt. Blaming it on foreign illegals is just a way to sell it.
I thought I was cynical as a teen.
People who watch Star Trek Lower Decks see something different: Moopsy! The cute little white ball of fluff that is the most dangerous predator in the galaxy. It will drink your bones!
Pretty sure one Moopsy vs. a Borg cube, the Moopsy wins!
ST fans are happy with Rise being a Moopsy.
Is this just a parable, is this something that happened once and got spread around? When you hear of Jen Hamilton's story behind the "Read the Red Letters" apparel that raised money for charity, you realize how common it must be. She upset a lot of people...and inspired a lot of people.
I think folks would argue with Jesus. There are stories of Protestant pastors being criticized for preaching "woke communist propaganda" when preaching on the beatitudes or Matthew 25. When told that those were Jesus's words, the pastor is told "That doesn't work today."
Awesome! Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Peter Parker, and the kid (who was turning into the Hulk and I can't remember his name, but you'll know it and will correct me) couldn't have done any better!
I may even be working from an old list of smartest humans in the Marvel Universe. 🤷♂️ 😆
Stood up to the men. Was betrayed by those men she helped. Murdered by representatives of the Catholic Church. "Rehabilitated" and made a saint because it was politically expedient.
Should have ended with Prince Charles dying heroically & her ruling France.
Third grade and I was already on brand .
Repost with your first crush.
Joan of Arc
Just a teenager, in a world where women meant little. Horrified at what the war had done to the common people. Chosen by God to do what the men around her would not and could not do. Brilliant strategist. Held an English soldier and cried while he died.
There are things adults & parents say to people with (Au & A)DHD that they think will encourage us but are traumatizing.
There are things nurses & doctors say to people with diabetes that they think will encourage us but are traumatizing.
Um, anyone notice an overlap?

"Wenn Frauen dich nicht gutaussehend finden, sollten sie dich zumindestens" handwerklich geschickt finden.
Wenn ich "verstehe" sagen, vielleicht ist es ein bisschen zu stark.
Es ist 0300 Uhr wo ich wohne. Ich sollte schlafen.
Meine Muttersprache ist Englisch.
Ich "verstehe" das als "said, done, sawn (gesägt wie "er schneidet Holz").
Es gibt eine Fernsehserie"Red Green Show" aus Kanada. Sie spielen mit Wörter, wie "If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
@astronomy.bsky.social Strange question: What is the farthest anyone has been from the sun?
I used to have an astronomy program that gave distances from the sun. Assuming the orbital height, I went through the Apollo missions and found the record.
I forget the answer. Is Artemis 2 the new record?
Thank you.
There's a saying in medicine, that the greatest problem in medicine today is the limited number of 3 and 4 letter acronyms. Given the number of specialties in science, economics, law, etc., it's a mess.
Note that medicine has added numbers, Greek letters, and capital letters.
I tried searching your timeline and couldn't find the meaning of OEE.
The only thing on Google was Operational Equipment Efficiency. How well the simulation is modelling?
Thank you.
"It's ok if I post disinformation because it could be true"
"It's ok if I misrepresent a thing as happening now even if the article is 5 yo, because it's probably worse now"
It's ok if I mislead people, because I'm on YOUR side.

My friend married her, btw!
Of course, now I can't think of even one.
In high school in 1974, a gal a friend of mine was dating came up to me with a list of 10 things I could do to get people to like me. Top of the list was "Pun less." I still have the list. All 10 are things typical of ADHD.
Best ADHD therapy in the '70s.
