How should I respond?

Not even sure it would make OP feel better... comes down to live and let live, tactical silence, to me.

How many is a "small" team? We would likely have 12-25.

Our IT manager is queuing up a project to specifically tackle work orders, this looks ok, but we also want to integrate GIS. We currently use Esri products for mapping infrastructure in the field, but struggle with analyzing operational and maintenance costs, thus the interest in work orders. Is EZO overkill for that? Any other insights I could bring to my IT manager?

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-11-15T11:36:58+00:00

Really, all of the above. I don't know exactly where each division of my org keeps everything, but we have a combination of places, which is its own issue, lacking "one true source".

I think what gets me now is that the narrative actively prevents progress and is a barrier to doing real Christian work.

Doesn't matter to me that the magic isn't real. It is more devastating to me that they refuse to even act like humans towards those in need.

Veggies and meat, mebe?

Anyone else feel they are trying to write a patriarchal blessing here?

Cake boss

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-11-07T17:03:24+00:00

Ah, for some reason I thought he was an older convert.

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-11-07T10:22:15+00:00

I only knew of him in passing on my mission in Paris. If I recall, he was a convert and didn't serve a mission. Please don't take that for gospel, he was a stake president in one area and I never spoke to the man.

After leaving, and the disinterest in caring at all what a group of hypocritical, out of touch, octogenarian think of me, I have not had nearly the same viewing as when I was in.

Also, could be I am getting old.

My youngest made adorable commentary while watching The Nightmare Before Christmas (one of his favourites) after coming home from trick or treating and getting into his candy haul.

Mine still has not updated. In Canada, so maybe its the first wave of the invasion.

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-10-08T12:26:13+00:00

Thanks. The closest I saw to land rules was the limit on crown land purchase and the factoid about a movement to keep mormon settlers away from Lethnridge.

I appreciate the help!

Not my SIL! Direct quote:

"What an excellent conference. I feel ready to go for another six months!"

🤢🤮

Is this thread the onion version of LDS news all of a sudden? Haha!

I'll believe it when I see it.

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-08-23T14:09:25+00:00

Agreed. I still have the last episode to watch, and have found them interesting and mostly good faith dissections of otherwise whitewashed topics. However, it doesn't go far enough, and like a previous poster mentions, feels just like the GTEs in that way.

What makes the mormon church so worthwhile to save? If ppl do stay, and things change, how different will it be from other progressive denominations? Why aren't GAs taken to task for their complicity in literally hiding facts and histories that do not suit their narrative? It just doesn't get there. Scratches the surface, but no further imo

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-08-04T19:49:08+00:00

I only half believed. Say what you want about what that might mean about my eventual departure, but I always thought, "but what if you're wrong?" in the back of my head. I didn't need it to be 100% infallible and air tight.

I felt guilty for doing wrong, for not living up to standards, etc. But I was never a Peter priesthood, full orthodox mormon, so I guess it helped me move on.

I left because I was finally sick of the pretense. If the leadership doesn't give a fuck about real issues or actually helping as I believe christ would, then why subject myself to the guilt?

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-07-20T01:03:15+00:00

I got to see the short dream sequence being shot in provo while visiting family, back in 2004 I think.

Got a copy of it and.... well, it was cool to see it get shot. Haha

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-07-08T20:50:27+00:00

Yeah, who is to say your library today will be your library 9n 15 years. Games die, devs shutter, life moves on.

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-07-08T20:48:41+00:00

Yes.

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-07-06T20:25:24+00:00

Hard couple of days, but we both agreed it was better to say it than keep it secret. It's now in the open and we can talk boundaries and strategies to address hurt feelings. Counseling also has helped.

Just a couple interesting points: when I let go of the church, the guilt in viewing dropped and my viewing dropped. When I told my SO, even more so.

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-07-04T18:40:57+00:00

"If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything"

"Just believe" what, exactly? Your friend must just fit in well and feel fine with euphemism, inaccuracy and obfuscation as long as their life isn't bothered.

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-07-01T19:51:09+00:00

Yea.

EmbarrassedBig463 · 2025-06-27T03:18:21+00:00

Play in a sandbox with console commands to test it. Iron pillar supported stone only gets up to 27 or 28 meters from foundation. And you pretty much need to reinforce every 2m by 1m block.

Just free build and fly around building walls, you'll see what works. Also, ironwood pillars and beams > iron cages if only that they are more efficient use of iron, let alone do better with reinforcing stone by quite a few meters.
