This might sound bad but I wish I had a similar level of resolve. I tolerate far too much insanity from people in my family.

So he put himself in the position of “I’m not smart” or “I talked to Putin”? Imagine putting yourself in checkmate like that

But really these scada systems are rarely well defined by the time implementation happens. Often the architect has a great plan, but by the time it’s passed to a manager, a non-software engineer, to the product engineer to the automation team to the contractor the end result is “X data is pushed in With Y form and we use either a,b,or c date time stamp any nobody knows”

As they should be. Walz is a veteran, sensible and overwhelming attentive to his constituents compared to most political figures, a teacher, a coach, and genuinely wants the best for people. Not Democrats, not Republicans, but people. Why wouldn’t you be swayed by somebody who has proven again and again they want the best for everybody in the limits of the situation?

There are aspects of elements of a service, and without a doubt influences on the topic of the sermon (thinking about it… Sermon might be a very Catholic word so I am not sure if that translates well). There might be some social do’s and don’t’s that I don’t know of as well but I don’t have first hand experience
