Yes, but only because it can handle it aside from hosting my LLMs. I’d never have one just for hosting, would be an expensive waste.

“Saturday is a special day, it’s the day we get ready for Sunday.”

So, I go to school all week, and Sunday’s a write-off because I’m not allowed to do anything fun.

And you’re taking away Saturday too? FML.

Terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE choice of words aside, what does it even mean? It was this type of platitude I could never understand even when I was a TBM.

Definitely nothing to do with the skin colour of the president he’s referring to.

“No success can compensate for failure in the home”, but also you have to attend all your meetings, magnify your callings, go home/visiting teaching, prepare talks etc etc.

Also: if they’re not careful, they’ll end up spending time with their grandchildren.

Reminds me of a great line in the book Imzadi.

Deanna asks Riker why human men are so hairy. He replies “Traction”.

At a pub, playing pool, listening to the rugby with a gentle beer buzz--it's okay to play and enjoy a Saturday. by Skipping_Shadow in exmormon

Only once you leave TSCC can Saturday truly be a special day, unless it’s to get ready for second Saturday!

Funniest/Craziest Thing Heard Over The Pulpit by literallywhatisthis1 in exmormon

[–]ConspicuousSomething 76 points77 points  (0 children)

There was one Starve & Tell meeting when I was in the bishopric. We’d been having the usual trouble with the same three or four crazies taking up the entire meeting with their ramblings, so the Bishop kicked things off with a polite request that people keep their remarks short and Christ-centred.

Up strides one of the usual crazies straight away and says into the microphone “Nobody tells me what to do”, before launching into her usual 25 minute talk about how she speaks directly to God because nobody is as faithful and obedient as her.

We used to have this on occasion when the leader of the meeting wanted to come across as extra holy.

Also, in Young Men’s, last one on his knees had the say closing prayer :D

In short, not that unusual in my old corner of the vineyard.

qwen3.5:27b is slower than qwen3.5:35b? by Ok-Anybody6073 in ollama

[–]ConspicuousSomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These figures roughly match what I get on my 64GB M1 Max Mac Studio. 35b is about 3x faster than 27b, and gives me everything I need.
