tongues is saying words that pop into your head to give voice to the holy spirit.
A Ouija board gives voice to a spirit.
My programs use a high speed stopwatch for random numbers.
I can use quantum random numbers.
I doubt pseudorandom number work well.
God says...
that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save
only with the king of Israel.
18:31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw
Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they
compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD
helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
18:32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots
perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again
from pursuing him.
18:33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of
Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his
chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the
host; for I am wounded.
18:34 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel
stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even:
and about the time of the sun going down he died.
Did most other folks here know what "Muse" is? I confess, I clicked hoping it would be something to do with the band (er, rock band not headband) and then read bits of the article without really being pulled in, and closed the tab after a skim.
Everything I have just described (including the name and band/band confusion) seems like really slick mindfuck marketing:
1. Get an interview out there with cool pictures, colours and the like, the whole thing of which is pretty much an advertising piece for your rather-sneakily-named product.
2. Submit the link to HN in a way that is kinda misleading but makes the reader (this dope) think he is just a misinformed outlier among a tech-savvier community.
3. BAM. Deep placement of your brand from like 5 different angles in said dope's brain.
Glibness aside, I'd sincerely remark on how effective this was on me. I'm even commenting here and about to go back and actually digest the article to check I haven't just said anything inaccurate, and to reflect on probably reading to much into all this. Also, I can't get that top image out of my head. The band makes her look like a 70s flower child, but with 21st century teeth.
One thing did stand out and that was the repeated use of the lone word "Olympics" to describe the 2010 Winter Olympics. Is that normal? The word "winter" doesn't even feature in the article! It rather feels like when people do that trick of knowing one thing is more prestigious so using a catch all term ("I went to Oxford [Brookes]"). Or, more likely (?) "The Olympics" in Canada MEANS "The Winter Olympics". I could understand that.
I get the same thing every time square is mentioned. I start having fun memories of Secret of Mana and I end up disappointed over some stuff about obsolete payment technology.
