Command And Control by Eric Schlosser is a great book about the building and management of nuclear bombs by America.
It's long, but crazy good.

That sounds super interesting and right up my alley! It's non-fiction, right?

Yup, here's a link to the amazon page:
https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Art-Joshua-Knelman/dp/1553658914

It falls under the "criminal story being told through the eyes of the author investigating", but it's not... awful like a lot of crime books.

Gnostics basically believe that the "God" of the Bible basically IS Satan, and the entirety of the Bible is mostly his PR campaign to fool you into worshiping him while he shackles you to the material plane and keeps you from ascending to your true potential.

The "real" God in that scenario is the true creator of the universe who is a purely spiritual being who is responsible for the creation of all of our souls, and thus our free will and potential for transcendence, but the meat our souls are trapped in and the material world we live in are all the work of the evil god who is opposed to the true God.

That thinking has been at the heart of a number of heretical movements through history - the Albigensian Crusade in 13th century France was more or less rooting out this exact philosophy, and it's where the phrase "Kill them all, God will sort them out" originally comes from (though the original version was more along the lines of "Kill them all, God shall know His own").

I always liked the reading that the bible wasn't explicitly removing the idea of other gods, but just that they should only worship God above all other gods.

Can you clone the repository again from scratch and just copy the files you changed over to the new copy? It sucks, but it's really tough to diagnose git issues over text so it's probably the best advice I can give lol. Not sure if this is what you meant by "can't nuke my local copy to fix it either", so sorry if there's some reason I missed here.

What I would occasionally do when my local copy is boned is just delete everything in the folder, and github desktop would download everything again from my master. It ain't great and takes a while, but whatever it works.

Basically, I can't use the "Fetch Origin" button because it doesn't update the sprites for the game game I'm using, even though it's fine because it doesn't mess with all of sprites. It's just that if I adjust anything sprite-related suddenly my oldass master reverts everything. Same thing with mapping, which I do use. So I just don't use it, fine I asked around and got told what I can do.

Then I used the verb git pull upstream master so I just completely synch up my master to the game and branch, then make my changes, and make my PR that way.

Somehow my changelog got fucked up, I have no idea what is wrong, but I just copied the folder manually from the website itself, and that worked. But now all of my shits not happy, and I can't nuke my local copy to fix it either. I'm almost positive I pushed something to my master, and not from my branch, but I have no clue how to just synch it up.

Then I go "fine, fine, I'll just try and learn this stuff myself", and the first video was the devs explaining that the mac version and the windows versions have different stuff, and they can't explain anything in any timely fashion. So I'll read documentation, and each verb has 50 tags on it and I can't understand what the hell its even supposed to be doing.

Yes there is.

Its called "cracker".

Yeah, it's a similar word in the dictionary definition, but one of those has a lot more emotional baggage associated with it and one doesn't. You don't have a deep emotional "what the fuck" response if someone said cracker towards you, in anger. But if it were flipped, you wouldn't be surprised if there was a "what the fuck" response.
Almost like different words have different context behind them, even if it's the same base meaning.

You didn't realize that when previous presidents got us into wars? All a president has to do to keep the military safe is not fight wars. Granted, it'd be a s***ty policy, but it's 100% in a president's hands. And in the case of Syria, we're allied with terrorists to overthrow a legitimate government to advance our national interests, a formula that has repeatedly backfired in spectacular fashion in the past.

South American countries haven't gotten bad from american presidents ever, huh.

I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to coordinate a temporary no-fly zone to establish a safe radius for the hour or so that would be needed to have a reasonable buffer on either end of the show. It might be a bit tricky to find safe flight paths on the night of the 4th, since pretty much every community will be putting on a show, but I would think something could still be worked out (even if that's just protective goggles for pilots between ~8 and 12).

Those protective glasses only work for a certain bandwidth of light, with the general rule of thumb that you have highpass glasses that let light above green in, or lowpass glasses that light below green in. There's a big of an issue during light shows because they tend to use multiple different frequencies of light, or just a single frequency. Eeeh, I suppose if they make it all blue/red it would be fine, it's just that people get bored of those.

No-fly zones would work, as long as the lasers don't aim too far down, because high powered lasers go beyond the horizon, so if you aim it badly, you can get a reflection at a bad angle or just have a small oopsie, you can cause major problems.
