Howdy and welcome back! This place is like a soap opera. If you miss 7 years you can get caught up in 6 minutes by reading the most recent threads. The plot is a cycle that keeps repeating.

That won't help with garlic. It comes out on your skin. There was an elderly couple who rode the church bus for a few years. They both took garlic pills. After they got off the bus, you couldn't get on the bus for the smell. They never complained about getting mosquito bit though...

These were mere accounting programs, not AI as we refer to it today. The fault in both instances seems to lie mostly with overseers who relied too heavily on unproven programs instead of investigating flagged cases themselves.

Sadly true. Even some restaurants that make their identity all about fish don't know how to cook it right. Just because the name is Catfish Palace doesn't mean they have a good cook. The problem is when you find one where they do cook it right, and you start recommending that place to your...

Think it's different anywhere else? Every large group will have a few of those people. You have to either learn to deal with it or avoid all large groups of people. Personally I still think it's a bit sus that you opened with accusing us of being afraid of these things. I still say it makes...

Dad said to tell you that his coffee makes army coffee look weak. "I put three tablespoons per cup, and then I reperk it." I get the impression that means it is strong coffee.

You must know somebody who can cook it right. Deer meat can be incredibly gamey if you don't cook it right.

Picture? Multiple pictures from different angles? Please?

Well... Honestly rabbit is just another meat. It's not OH MY GOODNESS SO INCREDIBLY GOOD! If you never taste it again, you're probably not missing out on anything. But it's not terrible either. It's just another meat.

My biggest challenge is probably something I am not aware of. Most of the people I know have blind spots where their biggest weaknesses are. So my biggest weakness is something I probably don't know about.

So it is only AI with a humanoid interface that you object to? Other uses, like chat GPT, are fine? Or do you object to them too? Either way I suppose you didn't much like the character Data in Star Trek...

So... AI is evil and any true Christian should avoid it like the plague? Is that the message here?

He hasn't used a spoon in years. Last time he tried, it dissolved. Nothing to stir anyway. Uncle Fred drinks it black, always. This causes some trouble for Dad, because he has to use his finger to stir cream in it.

By the way, saying we are afraid of these things is a very leftist thing to say. Homophobia and transphobia were not words invented by Republicans. They were invented by liberals, attempting to demonize Christians. Where are you on the political spectrum?

That works! And when he saw a raspberry bush in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the raspberry bush withered away.

Nah, that wouldn't work for Dad. Uncle Fred drinks it very, very, VERY strong. His coffee will challenge you to an arm wrestling match. Dad still adds creamer.

Wait, I never considered that aspect. Some people drink coffee specifically for that intended effect? As a cure for constipation? Or just as a means of keeping a regular schedule?

Reckon what do they turn the fig trees into? I know they don't have figs up there.

Same. I can blame Christmas all year long. When I find something I know somebody will like, and I get it for them, and they ask what is this for... This is your Christmas present. In April. Merry Christmas.

My father says that about good coffee. Lackluster coffee, he adds cream. Like, if he is at home with his preferred coffee, always black. But when he visits his mother, where there is nothing better than Folgers available, he adds cream to it.
