Basically it makes people feel good. Growth is exciting and motivates people to do stuff. Shrinkage makes people sad, depressed and more likely to try to protect what they have. It's often irrational, but that's just the way it is.
Growth isn't sustainable, of course. If you're a gardener you get to experience the joy of growth every year, but you have to "pay it back" in autumn and winter as everything dies back and resets. The seasons force it on you in the garden, but we can't force it on ourselves. We'll just keep having summer after summer until it all goes boom.
This might be a really good analogy - we're in an endless summer and we have people who are now dying having lived in it their entire life - we don't even know what fall is like, let alone winter.
On a personal level it might be possible to "bring winter back" - I'll have think on what that might mean.
What are people going to do with the G force gauge? Unlike speed, engine RPM, fuel reserves etc., people can sense acceleration perfectly well themselves. They wouldn't be able to put a number on it (although maybe could with training), but what good is that anyway?
And what even is the gauge on the left? It's just numbers without units.
This just looks like a gimmick because they wanted three gauges but lost engine RPM. Excusable for something like a wristwatch which is only there for aesthetic reasons, but a car where the gauges are there for safety reasons?
The Bible never ceases to amaze. I keep a copy just to flick through and find shocking sections at random every now and then. Deuteronomy is particular spicy. I hadn't found this one, though. Nice. Incestuous rape and possibly involving children! I wonder what "meaning" and "moral" people are able to dream out of this one.
Incest laws weren't given to Israel until Moses and the Exodus.
As for meaning:
Lot was date raped by his daughters. It shows the moral corruption of Sodom had affected his family.
It's also a historical and genealogical account of how the nations of Moab and Ammon began. Abraham's nephew Lot, and his daughters, though originally close family to Abraham, became the progenitors of nations that later oppressed the nation of Israel.
36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today.
I was about to comment that it's not UTC, it's in my local time. Then I remembered my local time (Europe/London) is currently equivalent to UTC, so I have no idea what it's actually displaying (it's not indicated in any way).
It's actually a problem in these parts that it's not obvious to us whether a time is in UTC or local time. I've found so many things displayed in UTC that people have assumed is local time then summer comes around and everything is off by an hour.
The flyover is the real reason the area went to shit. I doubt the Anglia Square gentri^H^H^H^H^H^Hregeneration will make much difference. In London I can't think of any "nice" road flyovers. Railway bridges don't seem to have the same effect.
Hilarious take. There's absolutely no advantage to learning to use LLMs now. Even LLM "skills", if you can call it that, that you may have learnt 6 months ago are already irrelevant and obsolete. Do you really think a smart person couldn't get to your level in about an hour? You are not building fundamental skills and experience by using LLM agents now, you're just coasting and possibly even atrophying.
