A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

I do not envy his position trying to moderate and maintain a community of mostly underage users, but he's talking out both sides of his mouth.

I'd love to take a week off, hole myself away and build this bench. First, I'd need to take a week off and clean my garage to make space. Before that, I'd need to clean out my basement... Before that...
You know what, maybe I just need to take some time off.

q: why did the outfielders raise their arms during this play?
a: according to the ancient scrolls in which the rules of baseball were found, if a ball lands and doesn't bounce that ball is declared god. the players were worshipping god. i doubt there will be a game 7 or any further baseball seasons

A neighbor put out a broken power-washer for free with a sign saying "New gas, new spark plug, doesn't run." $20 later and it's running!
Replacing a carburetor on an easily accessible engine is about as "mechanic" as I want to get, but It's certainly a good feeling bringing something back to life.

I'm a pretty big skeptic of Gen AI. However, there are circumstances where it is a viable tool. This is one such case: A dad uses Gemini to help him advocate for his son's rare genetic disorder.
Besides being a good example of using AI, It's also just excellent storytelling.
