I like my coffee with the slight odor of recycle..Yummy!!!

Ok, so I am a Christian and in the Bible God says to subdue the earth.  
If God wants us to populate the earth then there must be a plan?  I 
think in a nutshell the problem is we have not asked God for wisdom.  
His word promises if we ask for wisdom he will provide wisdom.

Water could also be recycled/treated such that it's good for
agricultural use but not for consumption, which I imagine would be
cheaper than fully reclaiming the water, which could then be used
for agriculture rather than fresh water. The extra... lets call them
nutrients... that are unsuitable for human consumption may help
fertilize the plants as well.

What you see was a pass through ChatGPT, for the initial content,
then a pass through Grammarly for ... Grammar, but they also have a
lot of tools about scanning for the "voice" of the article, and
plagiarism, and other helpful things.

Rinse and repeat that cycle about 3 or 4 times to get it "just

As development encroaches on formerly uninhabited areas,

Re: kaspersky

Thanks for mentioning it.  This is the first I've heard of the ban.  The 
fact that the Biden regime wants me to not use it makes me want to use 
it.  However it is from Russia and A lot of cyber criminals are based in 
Russia. Also there's really no way to know whether or not it has some 
security hole in it that Putin ordered be put there.  This is why I 
don't use it and why I haven't used it.
