#Prophet #Muhammad #Bible #Quotes Old Testament: In the Song of Solomon, chapter 5 verse 16, we read in Hebrew: βHikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem.β It means βHis mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.β
β’ A NeW prophet lIke Moses: 15 βThe Lord your God WIll raIse up for you a prophet lIke me from among you, from your brothersβit is to him you shall listenβ 16just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, βLet me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire anymore, lest I die.β 17 And the Lord said tome, βThey are right in what they have spoken. 1ε l WIll raIse up for them a prophet lIke you from among theIr brothers. And l WIll put my Words In hIs mouth, and he shall speak to them all that l Command hIm. 19 And Whoever WIll not lIsten to my Words that he shall speak In my name, l myself WIll requIre It of hIm.
β’ prophet lIke unto Moses: Deuteronomy 1ε:1ε 20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or[f] who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophetshall die.β 21 And if you say in your heart, βHow may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?ββ 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken;the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
Prophet Jesus was Not like Prophet Moses - because he did not marry, he was only given the Gospel and guiding Principles - but he did not rule politically in this world; till when he will return and slay the Antichrist;

The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.

Young people typically start out on the political left but become more conservative as they get older. Baby boomers who once marched against the Vietnam war got jobs, got married and had children. Now their grandchildren see them as tethered to Fox News.
Todayβs young Americans are following the first part of that pattern. Ask a group of them to choose between capitalism and socialism and they will split right down the middle.

What everyone is missing are the CHILDREN who were abused by EPSTEIN and OTHERS. I donβt care whether he killed himself or not.
For me, I want to believe @FBIDirectorKash & @FBIDDBongino but with the FBIβs track record with laptops (Hunter Biden, Anthony Weiner, Seth Rich, now Epstein), never mind the FBIβs previous track record for telling the truth, it is really hard to fathom that something else isnβt going on here.
I think there now needs to be an incredibly transparent briefing to the American people immediately by the DOJ.
The lack of trust in the FBI and DOJ is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Cβmon guys, the American people are not stupid or afraid to know the truth.
Trump is responsible for everything, to Dems: you've make him into an omnipotent god, you know, right? Ra, Odin, Ba'al, Zeus, Jupiter, Indra, Perun, Amun-Raβand Trump! chrisabraham.substack.com/p/trβ¦
They say theyβre rational, but every flood and crisis they blame on Trump reveals an accidental god they keep alive with fear, blame, and burning effigies.
_Epstein didn't sexually abuse children all by himself_
Others had to know, because they had to actualize the operation. The scale of what Epstein was doing is simply way too large to believe that he wasn't "sharing" his children with others.
There is no "Epstein Client List" simply because one was never maintained (by Epstein or Maxwell, regardless of who else might have done so,) or else because it was destroyed.
Prince Andrew was credibly accused by Virginia Giuffre as having been one of Epstein's clients for his child provisioning service.
re: The (possibly apocryphal) Assange quote:
The blackmail material created by Epstein would be FAR more valuable to a major intelligence agency, and one (or more) of them would be able to use it with FAR less risk to itself.

Once upon a time, there was a university president who couldnβt send an email more than 500 miles, and the wise sysadmin said thatβs not possible, so the president said come to my office, and lo and behold, the emails stopped before going 500 miles. Has technology improved? Can we send an email farther than 500 miles in 2025?
Thereβs a lot to the story thatβs obviously made up, but if we fix the details so that it can happen, we can reproduce it.
connect
We need some code to do a nonblocking connect that will timeout quickly. This is mostly copied from the examples in getaddrinfo for lookups and connect, and connect for the nonblocking check, adapted slightly to have a very short timeout and report errors.
The poll timeout is 3ms, as specified by the lore. I think this is nonsense, why would an invalid or incomplete sendmail configuration default to three milliseconds? But thatβs the time you get backing a lightspeed delay out of 500 miles. Weβll see if it matters.
The secret here is the kernel will always round 3ms up to at least one whole tick, 10ms. And maybe we get a bit extra from the current tick. So the actual timeout will be 10ms to 19ms. Enough time to make a quick roundtrip even at half c. poll or select with a zero timeout returns immediately, so not much chance of finishing the connection before that happens.
Weβre not going to try sending an email with sendmail because I donβt want to wait three days while the message sits in the retry queue before failing. I hope they had some sandwiches delivered to the presidentβs office while the demonstration was in progress.
success
Letβs try connecting to a few schools, working our way across the country.
ix$ ./connect upenn.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect uchicago.edu
it's a live one!
ix$ ./connect ucla.edu
it's a live one!
Now Iβm getting suspicious, we appear to be bending spacetime.
ix$ ping ucla.edu
ping: Warning: ucla.edu has multiple addresses; using 3.33.167.235
PING ucla.edu (3.33.167.235): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 3.33.167.235: icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=1.189 ms
Okay, so we have a problem where indeed the schools are not located in spacetime the way we were expecting. Everybody is using cloud whatsit for hosting, and they may well be hosted in the same data center. We havenβt gone 500 miles. For all I know, we havenβt gone 500 feet.
At this point I realized Iβm also pinging web servers, not email servers, which weβll get back to. Thereβs no reason the story canβt be about a failure to load a web page farther than 500 miles. But the story is funnier if itβs an email, haha, he thought it was strapped to a pigeon leg and the bird got tired.
redo
In search of success (failure), I switch to running the experiment backwards, looking for schools with ping times that are more realistic. After a while, I found a few.
ix$ ping rutgers.edu

Rutgers is pretty close, and indeed I can connect. Stretching out a bit farther, we start having some trouble.

ix$ ./connect maine.edu

ix$ ./connect maine.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out
Maine is about 500 miles from here, so it seems weβre right on the edge again.
Dayton is 500 miles in the other direction, but the tubes are just a bit fuller.
ix$ ping udayton.edu
PING udayton.edu (131.238.73.184): 56 data bytes

connect: connect failure: Operation timed out
ix$ ./connect udayton.edu
connect: connect failure: Operation timed out
Thatβll never work. As we might have predicted, the speed of light is not significantly different in 2025.
mx
And now to make it biblically accurate, letβs consider some MX servers. This would require switching the lookup code to res_query, or we can just use some existing tools to make observations.
First, get some records for schools.
host -t mx upenn.edu
upenn.edu mail is handled by 10 mxa-00390e01.gslb.pphosted.com.
host -t mx stanford.edu
stanford.edu mail is handled by 10 mxa-00000d07.gslb.pphosted.com.
Okay, so not really much different than www servers. Thereβs a ton of outsourcing. The ping times are interested however.
ix$ ping mxa-00390e01.gslb.pphosted.com

I can walk across town and hand deliver a postcard to Penn, but I canβt send them an email. Stanford, across the country, is almost but not quite within email range.
ix$ host -t mx ucla.edu
ucla.edu mail is handled by 1 smtp.google.com.
ix$ ping smtp.google.com
ping: Warning: smtp.google.com has multiple addresses; using 142.251.167.27

Ha, there we go. I can send an email 3000 miles to UCLA without fear of timeout.

The 500 mile limit for perfectly misconfigured servers is still in place, but good luck trying to determine which domains are accessible using a roadmap.

Weβre excited to announce that Mastodon 4.4 is now generally available as an upgrade for all Mastodon servers. The update brings improvements to profiles, navigation, list management, media controls, server moderation notes, and more.
Improved profile features, enhanced list management, refreshed navigation, and the initial part of our Quote Posts implementation. All of these and more, in our latest release.
Mastodon 4.4 also contains the first part of our Quote Post implementation - display of incoming Quote Posts. Full support (including creation) will be part of the next version: Mastodon 4.5, coming later this year. Weβre already hard at work on the next set of updates for that release.
We hope youβll enjoy the enhancements in Mastodon 4.4, and weβre grateful for your support and feedback. Weβre a small team, and we depend on your donations to continue making Mastodon better with features and updates. Please contribute to support our mission if you can.
I want to sincerely thank you and the whole team for making my life better through Mastodon. You all do so much good in the world. After X and the state of social media, this is very much still needed. Thank you for providing me my happy place.
Would be nice to get any explanations of the different post-install or depreciation messages of some update steps. I ignored all of them and it went well. However - in some cases additional steps might be required as per the hints after completion of a specific update step. Regardless of this, many thanks for the great work to the Mastodon team.
If you are a user of Kdenlive, did you ever try to use a playback speed different than 1? like 2 time speed for instance? In that case you may have heard glitchy audio. I think this is not a bug, but an implementation issue, I think Kdenlive should use timeline stretching audio scrubbing. It is a wide spread feature in modern video editors, a seemingly ubiquitous one. So much so that users can't spot that the feature is missing and just think that there is a bug. 1/2 #kdenlive #kde
It's a much needed feature for a modern video editor, and I think it should be considered as a priority since its addition could benefit Kdenlive and its user greatly. I opened a feature request here if you want more information: bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5β¦ Maybe the feature already exist in MLT but I don't think so. Should we ask to implement it in MLT or could Kdenlive implement it on their side. If you know any app using MLT that has proper audio scrubbing, or have any info, let me know. 2/2
Hi, Right now, consumers like SDL2 or RtAudio support turning audio scrubbing on or off, but they don't offer a way to choose the type of audio scrubbing we want to use. From my experience, the typ...
that happens to me at regular speed I donβt need to change it to hear the audio glitches. Having that said, the final export does not reflect the glitches.
@Emmanuel Florac Trade deficits of several hundred billions of dollars, should be the least of the problems, of a nation that has forty one thousand, billion dollars of debt, don't you think so?
@Carter Braxton actually both are related. By having the dollar the world reserve currency, debt accumulation and trade deficit are unavoidable side effects. The world need dollars to trade, therefore they need extremely large amount of dollar-denominated assets in the form of US Treasury bills. There is no way around this.
@Emmanuel Florac You really do believe that, don't you? Trade deficits results in profits and loss, imports and exports between private entities. Government overspending causes national debts.
@Carter Braxton trade deficits mean that the US imports stuff and exports dollars. For people outside of US to accept these dollars, there must be something to buy back, denominated in dollars, or they wouldn't take them. The stuff they buy back is Treasury bills. Fractional reserve banking implies that in all exchanges, there's a bank as a third party (see the video). When the money used as vehicle is USD, that bank is, in last resort, the Fed.
@Emmanuel Florac Yes, accumilated deficits will add to national debts but in the context of modern US debt, it is hardly fair to place the lion's share on trade imbalances, as some are wont to do, when anyone paying attention can clearly see, that US debt is the product of uncontrolled spending by the US Congress.
@Carter Braxton sure, but OTOH this uncontrolled spending is necessary for the Empire to function... Dog chasing its tail. If the Congress stopped spending, then the USD would collapse and cease to be the world's reserve currency, and suddenly the inhabitants should rely on their own work only, because the influx of Chinese-made stuff would stop.
@Emmanuel Florac Yes, some of that rings true. However, I don't think that losing the USD as a reserve currency would hinder the US. The USD has been the reserve currency for many decades now and the people in charge have managed to wreck that presumed opportunity still.
No, I propose that the pressure would be off the American people and indeed, the people of the world if the USD was no longer a reserve currency. The US has become fat and lazy, a big welfare state in her own right but she does not have to linger in such stagnation. If she would give up her delusions of empire, perhaps, she could compete again. Perhaps, she could make goods and services available that others would seek.
No my friend on closer observance, one could make arguments as to why the USD as the world's reserve currency, may indeed, be an albatross around the necks of mankind, including the Americans themselves and a yoke to be cast aside.
@Carter Braxton yep, Steve Keen's definitely of the opinion that USD has been a boon but is now a hindrance to US welfare. A more neutral system such as the Bancor would probably be better for everyone in the long run.
@Emmanuel Florac Indeed, Americans don't know what's really good for them, do they? Here we have a whole world trying to fix them and they're like the half dead patient that refuses to take his/her medication.
Americans don't realize that having the dollar overthrown and actually accommodating BRICS, would do us much more good than harm. Of course the delusions of empire would have to be lost.
