"For decades, he was a committed church member, tithing 10% of his income, as the faith expects.
But when another church member filed an IRS #whistleblower complaint in 2019, Huntsman’s theological and spiritual doubts shifted to anger...
David Nielsen’s complaint alleged that the church had been #hoarding $100 billion in tithes and had used a few billion in tax-free dollars meant for #charity to build an upscale mall."

174 followers · 480 posts · Server pagan.plusI feel devastated about the loss of #Titan. A passion for #exploration is such a primal feeling that I myself experience but cannot execute into reality, so I enjoy living vicariously through others who take the risks I know I could never do.
The loss is hard.
I also strongly believe you cannot boil this situation down to "a bunch of #billionaires on a boat". It certainly may be part of the story, but it isn't the complete tale. These people had the hearts of explorers, and even if I don't respect the #hoarding of #resources like #money, I respect their character. Each of these men, even the "Pakistani businessman", had things that made them interesting, and things that made them human.
David Mearns was an accomplished oceanographer, with an impressive portfolio of mariner and even aviation wrecks that he's been able to locate. Hamish Harding circumnavigated the globe in 46 hours, and joined Buzz Aldrin at the South Pole, because heck why not.
Paul-Henri Nargeolet was already a deep-water explorer with Naval credits, and Stockton Rush, for all we may criticize about this entire situation, was a visionary if nothing else.
Suleman Dawood was only 19, and my gods what I wouldn't give to go on that kind of adventure in my early adulthood, and his father, Shahzada Dawood, was a curious father of 2 who was on the board of SETI -- he had a passion to know about the things we couldn't see on a daily basis, and he has a foundation that supports education access in Pakistan.
I don't see a single one of these people as a "rich guy on a boat" today. Maybe tomorrow will be different, or the day or week after... but for now?
Today, these men are explorers, their curiosity drove them to the most dangerous reaches on earth, just to take a look. I salute their heart, and grieve for their loss. May their journey to the next world be light. May their kas be justified.

@glynmoody case i. Point: There is no rational reason beyond #Copyrightmafia's #lobbyism why #Copyright goes 7 decades post-mortem.
If we applied the same with #Patents, there would be equal amounts of #IP #hoarding and lack of innovation as with copyrightable #artworks and IPs resulting in dozens if not hundreds of them being left to rot and stale...

I downloaded them in case my wife or son wanted to play them. But they never have. And some of them have Linux versions that I've also downloaded.
So, do I need them all? No. Will I delete them? Probably also no. #hoarding

Any recommendations on a folding or otherwise highly portable hand truck that might help out in a scenario like that?

This is not the tape I will use. But we can get to the next step this way. (Trip to Dick Blick in the rain was only partly successful; they only carry the tape I want online. Still worth it.)

The 3 cent arrived! Hoping to win a 10 & 15 cent soon, they’ll sit beside this pair in a single frame. So much smaller than I thought - nobody puts a ruler in shot!
