You didn’t answer my question.

As a prominent figure who has corrupted tens of millions of Christians, I'd hope he'd be more in mind in this sort of discussion. This isn't just a random aside. My point is that you're focusing on the wrong things. For

People tend to get outraged at actual events, not hypotheticals. Smartphones were ubiquitous by the end of the Obama administration, cameras aplenty.

Funny that your go-to bad rich person is influencers and not, say, the president.

Was it “got deported”? Or was it “got deported despite being a citizen,” or “was arrested and held in a prison without necessary medical care”?

The beginning of Matthew 19 seems to be about divorce, not where you put your wiener in general. Matthew 19 is interesting to bring up, though. The end is all about how rich people don’t get into heaven. Would you say that this service shou

So actually, every one of the four things they list (Jesus-centric, void of pornography, void of LGBT, void of trans) disagrees with my values. I’m not focusing on where they disagree, I’m just taking a shortcut in my writing.

Ever think that maybe it’s not the deportations that are the problem, but the murders and other human rights abuses? And the fact that there was a lot of fanfare over Snowden rather undermines your point. People did make a big deal about it

That's not quite what I meant. I'm not asking why this network exists rather than the other one. My point is that when we read the phrase "Christian phone network," we all immediately know that it's going to be some

Jesus didn't have a whole lot to say about homosexuality or transsexuality. I really have to question your both-sides narrative here. Why would a properly Christian cell phone network block homosexual content? Even if we take it as giv

There are plenty of progressive Christians who remember that Jesus’s most important command was to love your neighbor. The better question is, why are these fundamentalists so successful at co-opting the word “Christian”? Why does “Christia

There’s an obvious example of this with twin-engine airplanes. Having two engines obviously makes you a lot safer since you still have power if one fails. But dealing with an engine failure takes some skill, and your probability of experien

As long as you didn't have any gay friends or family, or just cared how other people get treated. It's not like being straight was perfect protection. You'd get abuse just for acting in ways that had been arbitrarily decided

There was the sense that tech and the internet would change human systems. Information wants to be free and all that. The individual power granted by tech would lead to individual liberty. Traditional power structures would crumble when fac

Colliding with other planes is going to impede your escape plan, so it would still be a good idea to turn the thing on. No further action needs to be taken for the ADS-B output to be correct, it works once it's powered on.

Using 1/4th the entire freshwater inflow into the Chesapeake Bay makes it sound enormous. That's multiple major rivers for a bit over 30 million people. I live near the Potomac and always figured the region was wet enough that wat

Ramsey is for people who can't be analytic with their money, and need some moralizing to counteract the "I can afford it, it's less than the remaining limit on my credit card" impulse.

This really struck me when I bought a new car and my mother asked me how much it cost. I told her what we'd paid, and she said, but how much is it per month? The idea of just buying a car didn't compute. At least I finally got her

Apple did it before as well. A/UX ran System 7 in a UNIX process. That was a really niche system, though.

The customer base is also so much bigger. Just before the the iMac was introduced, they were selling under half a million Macs per quarter. And that was divided up among a bunch of different models. That makes it much harder to manage produ

The joke is that NeXT acquired Apple and got paid to do it. There’s a lot of truth to it. A huge amount of the software stack is inherited from NeXT. Steve Jobs was inherited from NeXT. Modern Apple is vastly more successful than NeXT ever

I could see an argument being made for smart glasses that keep everything local. But smart glasses that send everything to The Cloud? Burn them all. Especially if they're from fricken' Meta.
