I think blender is the only open source 3d graphics editor I've heard of, although I don't know how well it'll run on any given hardware since I've never used it personally.

As far as I've found everything in the open source section either expects you to create your models using blender, or to script the appearance as per postscript or LaTex pic.

Ok I just found out that it was blender, I don’t know how to use it, but at least I was able to install it and run it..
my Disk Drive runs also good; the strange thing was just that it red the 2,5 ” on the Pyra, or at least some of them, whyle my Windows 10 Computer ditnt had success to open them..

I also wanted to show some calibre but seems like I lost the folder whit the EBooks
Maybe there are somewhere..
but these are just from project Gutenberg, so I can download them if I need them ..
I even bootet up my GPD Win, which surprisely runs good even whit the a bit inflated battery, maybe it’s not that though..
but also there wasn’t my EBook Folder..

You can use the tool called find quite easily once you know how to find files. Something like 'find ~ -iname \*.epub' should list all epub files in your home directory.

The strange thing is that I don’t know where I put they the last time, usually I have everything on my Stick, but not even the Pyra Preeorder Code was there ..
i also changed my Stick multiple times because the old ones got to small or physical damaged , some data might got lost..
but I will look again on the GPD, might be it’s somewhere else there..
i was surprised that it’s worked, the last time I was on the GPD, it’s crashed after some minutes...

Hey maybe when this Microsoft Win 10 fixed itself after some months, I should look if my Xbox now works again ..

Would be cool if I saw God intervening in my lifetime.

Yup I asked that too, however it's quite horrifying also.
If you listen to the song "When the saints go marching in"... but between the lines... that kind of terrifying.

the inconsistent descriptions of Jesus

The resurrected Jesus was different from the others. For starters, he shone* (just like Adam and Eve did when they were in the presence of God). And his disciples did not recognize him at first (well, Mary did)
Then there is the returning Jesus. And the "red eyes" are actually "His eyes were as a flame of fire"(KJV) or "blazing fire"(NIV). Which could mean glowing red. But fire is not always red, it can be orange, blue, yellow, white.... and if not taken literally, it could be "determination" (Just like Angels with "four faces" means with deep wisdom, or "four eyes" means with glasses)

*We shine too, our DNA generates photons up to this day.

I've been thinking about personality types, mostly for game development.

You are omitting the chaos or non-resolute factor. People that will behave differently depending if they are hungry or not, the setting, or when in presence of others. For example: Teenagers that will ignore all requests from their parents and teachers, but will bow to police and thugs/loverboys/wordsmiths. Sometimes it actually depends on the looks and aura of the person interacting (For example: Negging).
And it's a good thing, imagine getting an erection while on the beach when you look at a 10 (attractive person).
I for example have a different personality during the first hour of shopping, and after that hour of shopping (where I am more negative and basically want to get away from people because I reached my tolerance levels).
In our language it literally is called "pressing the buttons" of a person, to trigger these alternate behaviors.

Don't laugh, none of you can prove you were here before 1987. All you have are the objects and memories I planted.

Dark City (movie) explored that theme. What's worse: Your memory does not only fade, they distort over time. Changing key aspects of the memory.


As for your tinfoil hat friend: Not quite yet, but eventually, if we let them; because they really want to.
So first, show him this exists and is old technology already:

Is This a Picture of Hitachi 'Smart Dust'?

Image shows 'smart dust' miniaturized RFID technology developed by Hitachi?

www.snopes.com

The smartdust of old had only a number, which was the RFID, but now it has it all: thermal sensors, accellerometer sensors, gps, wifi... and with a small antenna it could get enough power from an energy field to send that information. So your clothes, shoes, book, belt, underwear will have this information and then there is no need for that implanted chip (well, there is, for Mining purposes).

So imagine the future: You have a fixed base income. But you need to work for it, so they send you to a construction site to help out. The sensors will send information about your GPS position (did you go to your work site and did you get there on time). Then with the other sensors it can see if you are actually doing work, or just hanging around. And for that... well you will need the chip inside you, don't you? Or else I could cheat by putting the sensors on a dog and let it run for a while, right? And if you do not like the chip, well, no pay. Your choice, we're not forcing you.
And while you are working, we change your biochemistry, so you can focus and concentrate better.
But first: we need you to get comfortable with needles. So you'll get a booster shot each year, yes?

My first Pascal program in God knows how many centuries, it does what it says on the tin.

Program project1;

Var
    Num1, Num2, Total : Integer;

Begin
    Writeln('This program adds 2 numbers together.');
    Write('Input 1st number: ');
    Readln(Num1);
    Write('Input 2nd number: ');
    Readln(Num2);
    Total := Num1 + Num2;
    Write('Total: ');
    Write(Total);
    Readln;
End.

Writeln adds a newline after the printed characters, Write doesn't.
The Readln at the end is there to stop the program exiting until the user presses the enter key.

I remembered a theory I was thinking about just a few weeks ago. Near death experiences claim we have free will, but never quite actually define what it is. Of course, with the universe running on cause and effect, most people resort to quantum explanations for free will. I have a feeling cause and effect still apply at the quantum level though, just not always in the right order.

See, my theory is, the human body always acts on its own, according to evolutionary programming. The only thing the mind does is observe and rationalize every action, giving people the illusion of control. Then what exactly is free will? It's something the mind does on the other side. A lot of NDEs state that when your mind disappears during sleep, you visit a part of Heaven to collectively plan out the future of the universe with everyone and God. This is free will. You can't control your body directly, but you can control the entire universe indirectly. It helps then, to have good reactions and intentions in your thoughts.

 

[JDTAY]

I mean, part of this comes from something I read once, that the brain actually makes decisions a few seconds in advance of when we actually do things. Basically, it sends out two signals, one to your body to do the thing, and one to your mind to subconsciously let it know it's about to do the thing, so the mind can make up a reason why.

 

[JDTAY]

This guy got really mad at me for the last two posts, but I couldn't tell why. He claimed he was rooting for me once, but I always doubted it.

I'm not exactly rooting for me either. Reminds me, even though I heard suicide isn't punished, I heard that whether we complete our mission on Earth or not is judged merely by whether we live to our planned date of death or not. I hear that not only can suicide screw this up, so can "succumbing to your own addictions". It's that last part that gets me. I'm trying to avoid suicide to complete my mission, but apparently it won't even matter. Makes me kinda wanna go now, because I assume it's a binary thing where I won't be getting partial credit.

 

[JDTAY]

Yeah, I did hear that the only punishment for not completing your mission is disappointment in yourself. I already have that now. How bad can it be?

They say the disappointment can even cause you to punish yourself for a little bit. I mean, I don't exactly crave punishment though. Mostly I just want alone time, which I hear is impossible in Heaven. Funny to hear about things being impossible in Heaven.

 

[JDTAY]

You know, everyone mentions that there's no time in Heaven, but only a few remember to mention the real horror, that there's no space either. You see, space and time don't exist independently of each other. It's why the term space-time continuum is being phased out in favor of just spacetime.

You can be alone in death, but not in Heaven. Rather, you can just keep wandering around this plane. It's not exactly pleasant, but it beats the ultimate sardine tin.

 

[JDTAY]

See, for the past few years, I've only wanted two things out of Heaven: a wife, and a place to be alone with said wife.

God can't actually provide either. First violates free will, second violates the non-physicality of Heaven.

He's a pretty useless God overall. Does jack for us on Earth too. Some people say if he weren't intervening, Earth would be worse. If he can intervene though, why stop at stuff no-one notices? Why not at least destroy the damned place, if nothing else?

 

[JDTAY]

People say there's a reason for all the suffering. They also say we can destroy the Earth, but no-one does because it would ruin the plan.

Here's my promise: No matter how good the reason for the suffering is, I'm going to ignore it. I'm insane enough to keep a promise like that. I'll destroy the Earth just on principle. Even if I find out it would delete our souls, or something like that.

 

[Djoga'Ro]

I'll destroy the Earth just on principle. Even if I find out it would delete our souls, or something like that.

Aren't you supposed to only reveal your evil plan, when you have the hero in chains while you're just about to deploy your terrifying weapon of mass destruction.

 

[JDTAY]

I'd hate to slip back into solipsism for a bit, but I wonder if we don't each get our own version of the Earth, and destroying it only destroys ourselves.

Like I said though, I'll still destroy it in that case. Try not to miss me too much.

@Djoga'Ro I've never seen God stop anyone from doing anything before.

 

[FBnil]

@JDTAY Why so bitter?

I also do not feel like an NPC,so no, same world for all of us, just different experiences; unless you want me to declare you an NPC?
To me you have God-hateboner rage fits, just like Carl Sagan. So at least feel that even smartybrains can not figure out what some of us believers already take as fact and use that to build our believes and philosophy upon it. You do not have that rock as a solid foundation, so all you see is a sea of shit, and the more you struggle, the more you sink into it, am I right?
It seems to me you feel you have not gotten any talents at all. While I know this ain't true.
Offer God your failures, and ask for guidance. (unless you already got those funvax elements inside you, then you won't be able to connect easily, it will be harder, but certainly not impossible).
Just note that if you are not a fun person to be with yourself, you wont be a fun person to be for any significant other... so heal yourself first. float before swim, swim before crawl, crawl before walk, walk before run, run before fly. So take your broken wings, and learn to fly with them.
