Just a meathead trying to figure out this Freedom tech thing. I occasionally post whitewater kayaking footage from my archive.

Its easier to devalue dollars on a spreadsheet than it is to recall all coins and melt them down and issue new diluted coins. Our fiat is much more advanced.

Bend that stuff back. Keep and eye out for another hood. Quarter panel might be a pain to swap yourself.

You can splice in another receptacle for your

headlight connector.

We need an engineered virus that kills cancer for us.

Doesn't look totalled. Grab a bumper from a junk yard, glue up the headlight, bend the fender panel back, and keep on rollin.

Cut off all the hanging bits of plastic. Use tape, zip ties, or straps to secure loose plastic and wires and such. If some stuctural frame stuff got bent, you might be able to bend them back so that your hood will latch etc etc. Use a lever of some short, like a rock bar or other steel tool. Get your alignment checked, if the collision threw off the alignment, your vehicle will handle weird and will wear out your tires real fast. You should now be good to keep driving.

There is now no time pressure to get it fixed right. You can shop around with body shops or research doing it yourself. Only concern is if your bent up structural stuff. If you did, it will likely never be the same as before.

Holy serpentine belt.

We need AI sentry turrents that will shoot down any drones that are not broadcasting the freindly hash on their transponders.

There is opportunity in chaos. Just have to survive the chaos.

Well I actually agree with you in part. Your definition of the problem is spot on. Christians who reject all Christian tradition are reinventing the wheel. Its like reinventing math each time you build an airplane. Your understanding never grows, you stay a caveman. The Charismatic Evangelicals reject all tradition and are in a constant state of reinvention as a result.

However there is another extreme, great institutions can build up their own independent inertia and stray from the truth over time. This was what Martin Luther's "reformation" was all about. He found that some of the Church's long standing traditions were in direct conflict with the scriptures. He wanted a great ecumentical council where he could debate to make his case and hopefully reform the Church from the inside. He got the Diet of Worms instead, the rest is history, the Great Schism that followed is the fault of the Roman Catholics.

So yes Sola Scriptura, Scripture is the ultimate authority. Longstanding institutional knowledge is necessary for interpreting the Bible, but it can stray from the truth of the Bible, which is what Luther was trying to fix.
