@cjd Big Endian is the Right Way™. It's how we write numbers. Intel and other Little Endian CPUs have always been very annoying.

@PNS It's covered in detail - you might not like the provisions. If it's rape, death by stoning for the rapist. If the child was properly groomed and "consensual" and heterosexual, then the male must pay the full bride price and marry the girl - unless the father objects - in which case he still pays the full bride price but does not get the girl.For male on male consensual - they both get stoned. Seems harsh, but keeps the abuse from propagating.If the girl/woman is already married and it's consensual (guidelines on how to determine this are given) - then both are stoned.In practice, they would only stone the woman, not the man. But the Law explicitly says *both* are to be stoned. Notably, the woman caught in adultery in John 7:53-8:11 was "caught in the very act", i.e. the man was right there, but they did not bring him in for stoning.

@PNS The prevalence of 3, 6, 12 multipliers is why Thomas Fowler's wooden calculator used balanced ternary.Irregular multipliers for place value actually leads to fewer mistakes. The problem with the metric system is that all the multipliers are 10 or powers of 10. This is a featureless landscape leading to misplaced decimals. Once it become familiar, the rugged landscape of 2,3,5,12,20,60 etc multipliers prevents this type of error within the covered value ranges. (Once you start talking about millions and billions and trillions of pounds/miles/etc you have the same problem as the metric system.)

@cjd I've been buying GL-inet devices. The cheapest are like $25USD. The most expensive I have sports 4G cell modem and a battery (hot spot for working from the woods).At one point I used them for a batman-adv neighborhood mesh network. (All the members moved away...)

@PNS I'd speak at the church, and the message would be on "I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish." https://biblehub.com/luke/13-3.htm

@PNS The "Palestinians" that stayed in Israel during the 6 day war are very nice, and still Israeli citizens to this day. It is the ones that evacuated according to Arab demands that became homeless and progressively violent and unhinged to this day. (The very same Arab nations would not and will not take them in either.)

@PNS Congress did authorize an official study. They estimated that a solar EMP would kill 90% of Americans (indirectly through infrastructure failure). Nothing was actually done, of course (like hardening power grid equipment).Read up on faraday cage to store basic equipment. Try to get internet peers (NOT "ISP"s). I had three, but they all moved out of Mordor (NoVa).While Solar EMP is a big threat, nuclear might be worse. We have no (unclassified) defense against a high altitude nuke. Detonated at high altitude, it generates an EMP that can blanket 1/2 the US. (Killing no one directly - except maybe people with pacemakers, etc.0Nuclear EMP has far more high frequencies affecting micro-electronics than solar.Available on Cjdns mesh: http://h.mesh.gathman.org/emp.htmlI had a clearnet mirror somewhere, can't remember where atm.

@PNS Can't remember the comedian, but there was a hysterical comedy skit about people coming into a "Build Your Own" religion shop (similar to fast food custom burritos).No Hell? Check. Do you want magical superpowers (Word Faith) or no responsibility (Antinomianism)? Shared reality, or subjective reality? Etc.

@PNS With all the pundits reading from the FACE act this week, I suddenly realized that it enshrines temples of Moloch (aka "abortion" "clinics") as places of religious worship. It justifies itself from the 1st ammendment, and also protects mosques, churches, hindu temples, etc

@cjd I use Big Endian for external formats (over the wire, storage media, etc) and carefully write endian neutral code in C for in memory processing.

@PNS I doubt the drugs affect sharks - which are not mammals. Sea mammals are another story. Dophins, killer whales, sea lions, manatees, etc

@Richard @PNS It's "Acquired Mental Deficiency" - AMD. It is caused by excessive consumption of "leasing" (Elizabethan for "lies") - e.g. by watching too much CNN.This is why the Bible warns us to "not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds." Fill your mind with truth.

@PNS What about snslavement of White People? There were many times more of them enslaved by Islam.

@PNS I think he meant 1/2 sec per round - typical for semi-automatic.Ancient longbow had 12 round magazine and 3 rounds per sec - plus silent operation.

@rory @PNS They are one of the few trustworthy sources of real food, and have many customers from neighboring states. They do embrace new tech - but after many decades of observing the long term effect. E.g. they have their own telephones now, with Amish switchboard operators. (If any have embraced cell service, I think it is a mistake.)Statistically, a van is safer than a horse drawn wagon (which the illegal driver would also cream).

@HiroProtagonist @TechLibre The ancient polygamists found they could have multiple wives, but only one favorite. The other wives felt unloved. Western countries reflect this in divorce laws (divorce and remarriage is essentially serial polygamy).So yes, DOJ can be working on both - but only one can be the current favorite/focus.
