The subject has come in a thread here or there. There are various takes on it, but it's the belief that further advances in and fusion of AI, nono-mechanics, robotics, and some sort of neuro-computer bio-interface will merge futuristic technology with the human "essence," and people (or at least some people) will achieve immortality. The serpent declined comment.

I did tour the Boston temple during the pre-dedication open house. You're right in that there is an apparent disconnect. It was once explained to me that the temple is a representation, or window into, the Celestial Kingdom, which is the ultimate ever-after for the most exalted of LDS souls. So they try to make it beautiful and magnificent, especially the Celestial Room. Okay, fair enough

Does your grocery store give you a senior citizen's discount or something? I just had to reknew (lol) my driver's license. The wait was kind of long, but I got a great clerk. I did ask if he could give me a senior citizen discount. (Um...no...) PS: I still keep my CDL active. The way things are going, it might come in handy!

In Vietnam (1968-69) I served in the company of an LDS lieutenant (not my superior). We got along very well: he tried to make me LDS, and I sort of tried to persuade him that Christian Science was more true. Part of my exit from CS, but I digress. In the C-rations, we got (depending on the draw) pound cake, a hot chocolate envelope, and always an envelope of instant coffee, sugar, and dry crem

The normies complain that they have to respect the furries, but the furries lick, bite and scratch them. They also say the principal's child is a furrie. Trans-specie rights are human rights! Um...wait a minute...

Ah, my Protestant memories. Calendars with a little fish sign in a column of Fridays. Fishsticks for lunch every Friday in the school cafeteria. And they'd give me only two. No matter how hungry I was, two. Just two. Despotic cafeteria ladies!

A smaller Catholic presence in Baltimore* also means fewer parochial schools. These schools have been a major opportunity provider for inner-city children stuck with a failing public school system. But it's less religion in the public square, so there's that.

I don't follow this that much, but after my silly wisecrack, above, I got to thinking: Do I correctly recall that the authorities revealed that his phone made pings close to the murder scene around the time of the killings?
