Just watched the Librem 5 Visual Walkthrough. So much has improved. Great work guys!

@lo What is that? Looks a little like swordfish. You enjoy?

It's a hard thing, you know. Being fascinated by, and passionately interested in, something that you have zero calling or vocation to be involved in.

(I have a vocation - several - and many interests which I also love but aren't what I am supposed to be doing.)

@rose_myrtle Quite the opposite sometimes. I've been fascinated by computers since the late 80's, taught myself to program, and have always kept an interest in them. By all accounts I ought to be a rock star programmer/computer engineer, but I'm not. I am almost exactly Zuckerberg's age. I still learn and keep up with computer technology with a passion that my friends who work in the industry have lost. Sometimes, when you love something, the worst thing you can do is make a living from it.

@sheogorath Can you explain that line of thought a little bit? I don't know enough about it to have an opinion. Hoping to get my Librem 5 in the next few months!

@sinbach @bethany It is quite obvious that there is a gradient of sin and I don't think there is much of an argument otherwise. I'm a surveyor by profession and many times I'm required to measure and document where something is and compare it to where it is supposed to be. Things are never perfect or wrong. There are statistical measurements taken over time that provide certainty of whether something is in tolerance or not. I think our actions are a lot like this when it comes to sin.

My daughter should be sleeping. Instead, by the sound of it, she is upstairs in her crib going on all kinds of adventures with her stuffed animals, spouting off all sorts of cute toddler-speak, and maybe listening to some good stand-up from her buddy Sputnik the Sloth. It is hard to understand how God could entrust such treasure to the world.

@sinbach @bethany Listen, Jesus wants you to tell your grandmother to fix that pie, because she is going to be making it FOREVER in the age to come. Better to just rip that band-aid clean off.

@lo I don't pretend to understand the female psyche, but usually the opposite works.

@lo A lot of these west-coast cities are really beautiful places, or were, I should say. I wanted to spend some time in a few, but I think I missed my window. Do you have this problem in the EU as well?

@lo What didn't you like about it? I was going to sign up, but as soon as it needed a phone number I knew it was bad news.

@lo Yep. I had an idiot accidentally kick over one of my $65k stations last year...
