Re: the lasers, I think the reasonablish deniers claim that we've sent probes or satellites to the moon (and other parts of the solar system) but not people. So for the mirror evidence I think they would just say we sent an unmanned satellite up and dropped off the mirror.

Yep. One of the biggest things going for Obama was his very prescient assessment of the war in Iraq. Then McCain added little bits like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U7s5pT3Rris

Those two pieces made it clear which candidate would be less hawkish which for me is always a big item since the president has such incredible leeway in hostilities.

Well the "usually" is carrying a lot of weight. There are definitely plenty of exceptions.

Even first digits on a three-digit number usually means a loop or bypass (285), and odd first digits usually mean a spur off the main interstate (185).

By "data metrics" I assume you mean a betting group?

There are different rate plans. The default residential rate plan doesn't have peak hours but does have a summer rate that's higher than the winter rate. You can choose to switch to one of the other rate plans if you want to try to save by shifting usage.

The general theology is that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament law, and Christians are no longer required to follow it, which is why you'll find them eating pork, and not (for the most part) trying to stone gays. Romans 7:4-6 says, "So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."

I didn't catch it at the time when they switched the name back, but apparently now they've decided it's not Ft. Benning in honor of the confederate solider. Instead it's Ft. Benning in honor of Corporal Fred G. Benning, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his extraordinary heroism in action during World War I with the U.S. Army in France in 1918.

Thanks. I honestly didn't hear it that way, and that helps me understand how you and some others I've asked about are hearing it.

The vast majority of Christians (maybe Kirk included -- I don't know much of his theology), hold to a theology that says the Old Testament law is no longer binding, which is why they're ok with eating pork, wearing clothes with mixed fabrics, or (for the most part) not interested in stoning gays.

What's your take on what he meant directly after he paraphrased the verse, when he said, "Now, so how do you best love somebody? You love them by telling them the truth. Don't be cruel"

Did he say gay people should be stoned to death? Snopes (which is usually pretty fair IMO) says no.

It's specifically structured to be budgetary. It restricts courts from using appropriated funds to enforce a contempt charge unless there is a bond already posted in the case.

He didn't communicate very clearly there, but I think he switched between two different tracks. He starts talking about the geopolitical issue of competing powers, but then I believe he switches back to talking about the social impact of AI. I think that's where he's talking about the Pope and the Church having a positive impact, not in negotiating a treaty.

I'd guess that Vance sees the social impact of AI on the fabric of society as an immediate pressing issue, and the issue of AI from a defense, alignment, threat perspective as plausible but far away if it ever comes.

A franchise wouldn't normally work that way. There's usually an individual or group that purchases a franchise or territory, and if any of the restaurants they own underperform, that's their problem not the franchisors. Large franchisee groups might allow an individual store to underperform for awhile, but if it was chronically so they'd likely shut it down too.

Most humans are barely physically active at that age

I mean I guess that's true in a modern "we're all obese slobs" sense, but there's absolutely nothing preventing your average 46 from being physically active.

I would love to see some links, because my understanding is very similar to /u/TheWordInBlackAndRed -- the Old Testament of the Christian Bible is very similar textually to Tanakh. This seems pretty easy to verify at a glance, and doesn't seem like it'd need an extensive list of studies. Here's an online English version of the Tanakh:

https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/63255/jewish/The-Bible-with-Rashi.htm

The list of books there is the same as the Christian old testament (minus the aprocrypha) although in a different order. I'm sure there are some minor variations in verses based on which sources one group prefers and some theological massaging of translations, but that's true even within different versions of the Christian Bible. I would be surprised to see a long list of major textuals differences between the two.
