Mr. You on how to use prompts in Music AI SUNO, turning Chinese folk songs into Western taste, he created an album of such on platforms such as Spotify:

Since her right tires are fine so I walked around to see that both left tires of her white Nissan were punctured.

Chicago Pastor David Swanson speaking up against Trump's ICE raiding homes and churches. Causing 300 member church dropping to mere 30 attendees. If this is true, then it's interesting the hypocrisy of those churches who were so adamant to fight off Covid19 Gestapos because "the Bible says so" now either shy away or not willing to step up against the raiding of churches because these are "supposed to be" illegal immigrants, and treating all of them as illegal is somehow the right thing in the Bible for them, I suppose. After all, if nothing's wrong, all they lose is just their time, being detained, and unjustified poisoning of their reputation.

Nadia would love this clip on "preaching to the choir by telling them we got it, but the world out there don't get it, they are so terrible", unlike the prophets of Israel rebuking their own rather than people outside, otherwise, it's self-righteousness:

Finally done the Rutgers Garden volunteering. This one is just weeding, by hand. They provided gloves. I was doing asian squat at first but for tired and had my left knee on ground while weeding. If you do organic, you generally don't use mulch or woodchips because they may have diseases from their trees or unwanted chemicals. This was from 9am to 11am. At Rutgers Community Farmers Market at 178 Jones Ave, parking lot 95. They are either university staffs and students or volunteers. I was the only volunteer today with two other students.

You can work smart but work hard is always a must. Even Apple needs to humbly accept this as they start targeting cheaper low end laptop market.

8am: Weighted 174.4 lbs
Swam for 45:30 minutes, about 40 laps (<25m each), 294 Workout calories.
9am: Weighted 173 lbs
I wonder if this 1.4 lbs loss of body weight is due to the 294 Cal? That would be loosing each pound with 200 Cal workout.

Reformed vs. Baptist on Cultural Mandate is an interesting one:

The Baptist's take is generally shallow. Some of them would distinguish Gospel mandate and cultural mandate as Gospel proclamation and Gospel demonstration. Reformed Cultural Mandate focuses on God's original design for human in both pre & post lapsarian. Thus, the Reformed can rightly work with non-Christians while the Baptist cannot as the Baptist must only work with Christian (people of the Gospel) context to non-Christians, falling into Gospel pragmatism rather than God's principle from the beginning of creation when dealing with culture. It's not a big difference, but a foundational one:

First time hearing 1980s being considered the era of the Satanic panic:

Also love one of these pastors calling the Prayer of Jabez (I think he's not referring to the Bible, but the popular book by Bruce Wilkinson, Growing Kids God's Way (also, according to AI, I think he's referring to the parenting program, created by Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo), as demonic, as if coming as angel of light. Another saying that movies that has neither good or evil, no moral value, are worse than Harry Potter, LOTR, etc.
