Polyandry?

I'm not sure.... I haven't watched the newer ones after Disney bought it from Lucas.

@mirkwood Forget what I said earlier. Apparently I misunderstood when @LDSGator said he was "packing my 45 tonight".

I don't know that a premortal existence is necessary for understanding agency, except for the reasoning that @Vort provides: if every part of us, including our will, was created by God then ultimately He is culpable; if we are to bear some responsibility for our choices then there must be something outside of God's creation. That said, for Latter-day Saints agency is associated with the pre-earth life since that was a core motivation for the War in Heaven. This is from Moses 4: 1-4 (Joseph Smith's inspired translation of the Bible. This excerpt included a revelation in which Joseph was taught that the creation account in Genesis was given to Moses via revelation) And in Doctrine and Covenants 29:36-40 it says that the fallen angels employed their agency in their fall. It also states that Adam's fall was a catalyst for his exercise of agency (and by extension, ours as well). One part I have not seen Latter-day Saints grapple with is the meaning of this phrase "the agency of man, which I ... had given him" from Moses 4. A similar notion is shown in Moses 7:32. I don't believe I've heard the mechanics of God granting agency to man (In fact, I don't usually hear agency spoken of in such a manner). I have a few thoughts on it, but nothing well-formed.

Oh sure, mom can glue entire rolls of pictures to the wall, but I color one small patch……

Did you just spray water on me?

BYU used to specify boundaries at the corner of the mouth. I'm looking forward to seeing the variety this opens up.

I don't think it's gotten that dire yet. Just bring syrup.

Duplicate. Biblically speaking.

I don't have anything meaningful to contribute, but I have found a way to spice up the current discussion: He's having trouble with words, in the biblical sense. Do you have knowledge of Russian, biblically speaking?

Last thing this world needs is cyber bullying cats.

I noticed the same thing. That's why I asked if that was the quote Rose was referencing. I can see how can be remembered as

Before reading the friendly article, I figured this was probably a testing failure — as in a lack of testing. If the AI creates the model it should also have a way to test the model. You can do a base-level evaluation by having it validate the previous system and also include a fail model to see if it’s passing everything. The other testing failure is running the buses on the route and using that feedback. I lived in one place where you would see the buses running a week or two before school started. I lived in another place where you didn’t see a bus until the first day of school. I read the article, and the district seems confident that the new routes will work. They only tried the routes two days before school started. Either concerns weren’t raised or they were ignored. Might as well add that as another point of failure. Also, other articles may have mentioned AI, but this article only mentions algorithms (which is a really weak AI under some definitions). I suspect that the reason the superintendent didn’t throw the tech company under the bus because it delivered on exactly what was asked — something like bus routes run only once (previous routes used multiple trips with late batches) with the number of drivers they currently have.

Yet another reason miles is better than kilometers.

That “almost” is a powerful contrast. When he made the first statement I did a bit of a double take because I know Elder Hafen understands grace and the atonement. Then he provided the missing half of the equation and I had to do a double take again because the same term was suddenly sufficient and I had to re-listen to hear the pivot. It’s a good explanation of one of my thoughts of the Ether 12:27 classic: “My grace is sufficient.” It’s Gabriel’s horn. There’s an infinite volume for you to fill and you’re just a finite bucket of paste. Boast of your bucket-ness or some other nonsense quality and you’ll never get the job done. Humble yourself flat and you’ll be stretched in ways you never imagined possible.

My own work in my patio garden has convinced me that the garden setting (not a city, and not a wilderness) of the Fall was intentional. I loved this imagery:

Was this the quote, or is it a different one? I found it here.

Would you call it a “return”?

Fixed that for you
