IBEW is FAR from desperate.
This is the sign outside the Temple, TX, Buc-ee’s as of last week.
Grocery Stockers get $20/hr, 401K with match, PTO, health insurance, and cheaper housing than in “the cities.”
Allegedly, rates of electrocution are low among grocery stockers.
IBEW is desperate for electricians in Texas. Average starting wage for someone completely inexperienced is almost $18/hr in the cities.

The ways in which this can be weaponized are beyond your imagining.
Planning and executing the reactions to make a complex molecule (a “route”) is one of the hardest jobs in organic chemistry.
From one image of each of four molecules, with no internet and with code as its only tool, Claude wrote a complete route in about half an hour.

This kind of thing happens, by the way, because the printed word, and for that matter writing itself, is a technology.
Words and their meanings are two separate things. Writing/print as a technology, changes the nature of communication. When words are oral, they exist in memory and in the shared cultural space of community. There is a genuine, spiritual or metaphysical connection between people. Oral people do not stand apart from their words the people do when they become literate.
Heidegger observed that one of the things that technology does it that it renders the world into a form where it stands ready to be used by us. He called this “standing reserve.” With technology the world stands in reserve for us. Medicine makes healing stand in reserve for us. The light switch makes light stand in reserve for us.
Writing and print now make words stand in reserve for us. They are ready and accessible to us to provide meaning when we want it. And since meanings and their words are separate, when written and printed words act as technology, we then flip on the light switch and the words simply give us content, meaning, that we provide for them.
When we approach the Bible in a technological manner, doing scientific exegesis, we are using techniques and methods — more technology because technology is first of all a way of thinking about the world — to elucidate a meaning a meaning from the text. We are still trying to “flip the switch.”
When you ask your pastor to give you practical messages with real life applications, you asking him to technologize the Bible and render it useful for you. To make it effective and efficient in providing meaning and direction for your life. Ultimately, this makes scripture about you. It must be useful for you. It must be like any other technology.
In this way, the Bible, as printed word, understood as technology, for that is what the printed Bible is — how often do people talk about “my Bible”? — often acts to actually cut from God, “enframing” us in its technological reality.
So, how then does one avoid this? One must be in an oral living relationship with God. One must see the Biblical word as only being able to have true content if the words and their meanings match the intent of the speaker. In other words, proper understanding of the word comes out of a mystical connection with the Word. This is why preaching is supposed to have a “thus says the Lord” quality.
Protestants don’t like this because it undermines the idea that the Bible is the sole arbiter of truth. Catholics don’t like this because it undermines Apostolic authority of the church (together with scripture) as the final arbiter of truth.
I know that these various doctrines and teachings exist, but they do not erase the hermeneutical problem nor the problem of the technology of writing and print.
People are going to continue to use scripture for ideological, political, or personal uses, and one needs to be aware that there is no way around this. It can only be addressed by the direct intuition of God, understanding that this is the only thing that can ground the understanding of scripture is being in a living communion with God, and that this is not merely personal but lives within community.
I would argue that this is the meaning of 1 Corinthians 12:1-3, that we serve a living God who speaks to us through his Spirit. How will you know that a community is in communion with God? By their fruit.
Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa pastor Char Brodersen defends his decision to start ordaining women, insisting the prohibition in 1 Timothy 2 is not necessarily anchored in the creation narrative, but rather is a response to shenanigans by adherents of the cult of Artemis in Ephesus.
Last minute and a half is also very instructive, saying the "authority" that Paul says he does not allow women to have over men is an "abusive" authority, and that even men should not have it.

I work for a small IT company. My coworker is Indian. When I first started there years ago I was slacking off a lot but then at the end of the day I would see I still got way more done than them. I wondered how this was possible - it was very confusing. Fast forwards after years working with this Indian - I've found countless emailed deleted and unanswered, countless tickets where the customer writes back to him angry because he obviously didn't read their first email.
Countless simple tickets where he didn't do the basic troubleshooting. And now that AI is out, he is copy/paste huge walls of text directly out of AI into the email for the customer. Oftentimes the tone isn't right and it doesn't address their problem.
In the most recent case, I him and a customer had been emailing back and forth several times - I jump in the ticket and, with 5 min of basic troubleshooting, could see what the problem is. We do Zoom meetings and he barely seems to be listening. My boss will say his name and ask him a question, and 95% of the time my boss has to repeat his name several times because he is zoned out.
My boss has total rose colored glasses, likes this guy, and would never fire him. Any normal worker from the Western world could easily outperform this guy after a few months. He has worked here 5+ yrs and fails to do the stuff one should know by week 1 of employment. He is worse than useless and has definitely hurt our company over all these years. It would be better to have an understaffed help desk with slower ticket turnaround time.

Satan can pull this trick with pretty much any passage of Scripture. Just make up or misapply a story that completely changes the context. Then it can mean whatever you want it to mean.
For example... ⤵️

It’s a hell of a thing being Gen X and learning everything on the news was a lie.

Weeks after the Soviet collapse, Nixon told Larry King he hadn't foreseen it so soon. He recalled Khrushchev saying in 1959, "Your grandchildren will live under communism," and his reply, "Your grandchildren will live in freedom."
From CNN's Larry King Live, January 8, 1992.

“He was only talking about amnesty for the ones that have been here for 10 years”
You mean the ones he was elected to deport 10 years ago?
“In the book 1984, which many women will be unfamiliar with because it doesn't contain any werewolf rape…”
One of the amusing things about women is that one will walk past a conversation that isn't about her, has nothing to do with her, and immediately interrupt it to say "Hey everybody! This does not sexually arouse me! In fact quite the opposite!"
And then she'll wonder why everyone seems to find that response incoherent.
It's only funny, however, until you truly understand why it's happening. Then it's kinda... existential.
Pick up a popular book, written by women, for women. At random. We all know that the odds are it's going to be porn.
In fact, it's gonna be porn about the medium-height, slightly clumsy, brown-haired protagonist girl being kidnapped and ravished by a werewolf pirate billionaire warlord. And if you're wondering what "ravished" means, it's like rape, but sexier.
So what's going on here? Why are modern women so porn-brained, and simultaneously so contemptuous of every actual male within their line of sight?
This actually all fits together quite neatly. Women are not lying. They are telling us the truth. They are telling us exactly how they feel about all the things they see. They're just not very good at introspection. So they don't know why they feel that way.
If we read their werewolf rape porn, we can immediately see what turns women on... men who have power over them.
And the reason that women are reading werewolf rape porn is that actual men who have power over them are in short supply, and there's not enough to go around. Desperate for male dominance, they are mainlining a hypernormal stimulus in fictional form.
This is also the reason women don't care about any harm they are doing to men with their newfound political and social power. To them, any man who doesn't have power over them, and especially a man who they have the power to hurt, is viscerally disgusting. He is an unperson, useless to them, and they don't care what he is experiencing.
This is why they try to hurt men in the first place. Because they resent the fact that they can. They want us to be powerful, invincible, untouchable, and they lash out in frustration when we aren't, seeking to punish us for being vulnerable instead.
Funny thing is, it's not even their fault. This is genetic programming, after all, not a choice. Ovaries want what they want.
The bit they don't quite understand, however, the bit they haven't thought through, is that this doesn't work with the whole "equality" thing. A man can be more powerful than you, or he can be an equal. Can't be both.
And, of course, men really do have power over women. Not only are they unable to defend themselves against us, they need us to feed, clothe, shelter and protect them. If we were collectively willing to take their civil rights away again, we could do so immediately.
Women's rights exist only when and where men say they do.
In the book 1984, which many women will be unfamiliar with because it doesn't contain any werewolf rape, George Orwell describes a process called "doublethink", which is defined as "sustaining two contradictory ideas by not ever thinking about both of them at the same time."
In this case, the two ideas are "make me equal to you in power throughout society at large", and "have so much more power in our personal relationship that I am unable to hurt you no matter what I say or do".
Eventually, men are simply going to have to come to a consensus over what to do about this, and decide which of these requests to fulfill.
We can either be liberals, and accept perpetual female contempt as the price of that, or we can be vilified as reactionaries, but have women love us again.
What is never going to happen is that you are never going to get a majority of women to see the contradiction here, and agree that this makes no sense.
Which means we are going to have to make this decision on our own.

So excited that @IIHFHockey has come to its senses and Russia will be rejoining international play.
That said, people have no idea what’s coming. 😂
