I don't think Trump is the cause, but he's an opportunist stepping into a vacuum that has developed over a lengthy period of time.

I can buy the CD From the Cradle for pennies, but it would cost me hundreds of dollars to see Eric Clapton live

Yeah, but a Stratocaster guitar is available to everybody too, but not everybody’s an Eric Clapton

Cost cutting and austerity measures for the peons is my other hypothesis.

Just my observation as a sixty-something year old, and my attempt to understand the changes I’ve seen… It seems like these days doctors advice and hospital emergency procedures are mostly (and increasingly so) based on statistical likelihoods of outcomes (from where exactly I’m not sure; and who vetted them??) and a set of options that insurance companies will pay for, probably determined similarly. Probably will get worse until AI gets inserted into the loop. I also wonder if perhaps this is occurring to accommodate a reduction of the typical skill set of the “wellness” oriented practitioners most of us see for check-ups and emergencies. I have received good care from specialists by and large.

Would this tool be able to accommodate vacuum tube designs and the associated schematics, either point to point. Or PCB?

Wouldn’t you think AI advances in 4 years would make this a safe bet?

I would just refer you to 2 Peter 3:15-16 where Peter, whom you might consider authoritative, claims Paul’s writings as being scripture.

So I’m wondering, do you the epistles Paul wrote as less authoritative and scriptural then the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? I just trying to understand the distinctions you are trying to communicate in your responses. Thank you for sharing and I don’t want to continue to make assumptions like I did in my first comment that miss the mark

New comment by noshitsherlock in "Ukraine sees 'priceless' digital battlefield data trove as key to West's support"

noshitsherlock — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 20:24:52 +0000

Is this article saying that Ukraine values the money that can be made from battlefield data more than the people’s lives that are terminated by this war not to mention the destruction of property, suffering, loss of welfare support in Germany,etc? I wonder if the West will agree? I mean, the headline is saying this isn’t it?

Not sure why you refer to the person who visited Paul on the Damascus Road with the term “divine being“ when this divine being as you put it specifically identifies himself as Jesus Christ, whom Paul was persecuting. And there’s further dialogue where Jesus communicates additional information to Paul as to the things he must suffer for Christ’s sake. He should also point out that Paul went over Peter and many of the other disciples to accepting him and his recount of the Damascus Road experience, despite the fact that he persecuted the church and was sending people to jail just prior to this encounte. I would take Paul at his word as faithfully recounted by Luke more than I would take your words as once so far removed, and obviously skeptical of the scriptures themselves. The entire New Testament and Christ life focuses on faith, which is supported by actual historical miracles and healings not to mention in Christ resurrection itself. That’s the whole issue, faith and belief versus skepticism and unbelief. It’s the grand drama that’s the whole point of both Old Testament and New Testament, that sprouts in the garden of Eden, where the serpent casted out on God‘s veracity when describing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. of course there will be people like you that argue on the side of skepticism and unbelief and that’s been true throughout history so nothing new here

Life? I'm just thinking about what we can move on to now that the mundane tasks of life recede into the background. Things like artistry and craftsmanship, and exploration.
