It never gets to 60. For some odd reason it only gets to 59 and then drops back to zero.

I do, but not for writing code. I use them when I can’t think of a name for something. LLMs are pretty good at naming things. Probably not that good with cache invalidation though…

In the end I think scripture is just a tool for Jews to have something to argue about endlessly.
Considering how that’s the main way to gain fame in Judaism - you’re not wrong.

I like Rabbi Joseph Bekhor Shor’s interpretation. It’s far from being accepted in Judaism - probably because it makes so much sense.
The interpretation is based on the fact that the passage originally appears in Exodus twice - but not in a section about Kosher laws. It appears in sections about Bikurim - bringing offerings to the temple:
- www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+23%3A…
- www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+34%3A…
The very same verse that contains that law also contains a law about Bikkurim:
Bring the best firstfruits of your land to the house of the Lord your God.
You must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Because these two laws seem so unrelated, Rabbi Joseph Bekhor Shor suggests a different way to read the second part.
In Hebrew, the root of the word “cook”/“boil” is B-SH-L - and this is also the root of the word “ripe”/“mature”. Because of that, it’s possible to read “you must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk” as “you must not let a young goat mature while drinking its mother’s milk”.
This makes the second part of the verse a repetition of the first part - a pattern very common in the Old Testament as a (vain) attempt to prevent misinterpretations. Reading it like so, both parts mean “the offerings should be as young and as fresh as possible”.
That reading is a little bit odd - but not too odd in biblical language standards, and it makes so much more sense in the context where the passage appears.

“Illegal” as in “illegal immigrants”. It’s a connotation word, it doesn’t mean anything on its own obviously.

In Hebrew, the word for “stone” is male-sounding while grammatically female, and the word for “rock” is female-sounding while grammatically male, you know, for simplicity.
- Comment on What Refutes Science... 4 months ago:
I don’t know whether or not this is sarcasm, and frankly - it doesn’t matter. Science provides the facts - it does not provide values. You need to combine facts with values in order to come up with an ethical verdict.
If the resulting verdict is not what you wanted, you can always rethink your values. This is essentially what philosophers have done for millennia. It does mean you’ll need to defend your new values, of course, but you don’t have to stick with old values when it turns out they have bad implications.
What you don’t get to do, is decide to ignore or twist the facts. The facts don’t change just because they’re inconvenient. If you lie in order to get the ethical verdict you desire, then you are tautologically in the wrong.
