... 'cept that's not just faith, it's also blinding stupidity. Especially considering you have (myriad) other antivirus/malware programs you can check the .exe against. The faith and blunt stupidity shouldn't have to be intertwined. Huge frothing bucketloads of theologians over the centuries have stated and emphatically pursued showing it doesn't.

And even irrationality doesn't necessarily imply imbecility...

... they, uh. Do usually charge for a great deal of the water, jop. Most modern farms are hella' more water intensive than what the plot of land can naturally sustain.* Air, not so much. Usually. Some enclosed/exotic stuff, usually way outside their normal growing environment, does have a pricetag on the atmosphere maintenance.

*I mean, I guess you could argue that they're charging for transportation more than the water itself, but it roughly boils (aheh) down to the same thing.

I figure it's better to make them now, before I see the death toll and infrastructure damage bill. Marginally less awkward that way.

Don't you mean,

"Blurble blurble.

Blurble blurble blurble.

Blurble blurble.

Blurble."

?

I'd recommend not wasting your breath trying to shout. You'll need it to keep swimming.

Seriously though, good luck to worse carolina, even if this isn't their thread. Know a bunch of it seems to be having some water retention issues at the moment.

Last I paid attention cali is probably going to be dealing with fairly substantial floods of its own within a year a two, actually. Nino's been keeping some stuff away, more or less, or something along those lines. Important bit to take away is that the metaphorical dam has pretty good odds of breaking soon-ish. Then they get to have state drowning hydrologic outlooks, too :3

Math is a way to portraying reality
... no? It is one of the means we use to attempt to describe reality, but math itself is... pretty much entirely divorced from reality. And certainly not intended to do the job. A lot like logic, really. It's about axioms and their interactions... that parts happen to be applicable (sometimes quite poorly) to reality is more happy coincidence than anything else...

Sweet zeus, save me from the computer illiterate. Family member was wanting me to reformat their computer because someone misplaced a shortcut, and they were clicking on the wrong thing. I... I understand these things can be confusing, and people often don't realize exactly what they're asking, but... still. Still.

There there, IP. I'm sure you would have been expanding ruthlessly if only you weren't shorter than half the map. Probably could have been anyway, if you'd bothered to step on the other half or so you're still taller than.

If you knew that the chair would break, would you bother sitting in it?
Where did I say I knew it would break?

You... don't have to have faith the chair will hold your weight to sit in it. I often don't, because I've sat in a lot of chairs that didn't. Just have to accept the risk that the chair may break.

Honestly, the worst part about sharkicanes isn't the sharkicane itself, it's all the sharknadoes it spawns. Sharkicane may bury a great white fin deep into a concrete wall, but a sharknado'll just straight up eat your entire bloody house. Widely dispersed sharkorologic phenomena are broadly speaking somewhat survivable if you're caught in them, but the concentrated stuff is just merciless. That many sharks moving at that great a speed in a comparatively small area has a freakish synergistic death spiral thing going on. S'brutal as all hell.

Incidentally, MSH, you don't want to look out the window right now. It will be better if you don't see it coming.

I'm sorry MSH. ASU has been washed away. You're currently floating downriver with it. This entire conversation is your last desperate hallucination before being washed out to sea. Be at peace. The sharks are near.

Dude's name is actually Poco, anyway. Alias Biscuit Griffin, I guess. But the hat change isn't fooling anyone.

I think you misspelled "Poco" there, Furt >_>

:P Mostly the fact that so many Christians don't arrive at that conclusion, basically.  Or who maintain that the Trinity act with one purpose.

... I'm still not sure what the Holy Ghost even *is*.
Eh. Many christians wouldn't really know chunks of the bible from a hole in the ground, and draw hugely from the fanfiction anyway. Or deliberately ignore swaths of it (sometimes for the better, heh). Lots of 'em not coming to the conclusion that the christian god is a viciously malicious jackass doesn't mean too much.

And that's not getting into the tautological stuff where the thing could be the most incredibly and unilaterally evil thing in existence and still be considered not a baddie by christians, strictly because of definition. God is Good, even when God is blatantly evil.
