For funsies: What's your favorite short joke/one-liner?

It's been well established that current levels of meat/dairy consumption and production are one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gasses. I have several questions for you based on this.

  1. What changes, if any, have you made to your own diet in light of these findings?
  2. What changes would you like to see from the meat/dairy industry?
  3. What changes would you like to see from individuals in regards to diet?
  4. Do you have any plans to more aggressively raise awareness of the environmental impacts of meat/dairy consumption?
  5. Do you feel there is any single, practical thing that most of us could do that would have more impact than reducing meat/dairy consumption? If so, what?

Thank you for your time today!

(Edit: Changed meat to meat/dairy)

Two questions, actually. First, how do you balance reliance on specifically Christian theology with more general sentiments in your sermon, especially on a day like today where there are many causal attendees? I'm a musician and tend to get asked to play services on the high holidays (extra budget for the music!) which I always greatly enjoy. I'm not Christian but am religious and I love being able to use my abilities for something that helps people closer to God. However, I'm always somewhat put off by the sermons, which 90% of the time seem to have little or nothing to do with being Christian and are just generic platitudes about being nice to people with a "cause God says so" tacked on the end. Is this an intentional thing for Christmas to not drive off those newcomers? It's so widespread I feel like there must be some thought behind it.

Second question is what are your thoughts on Santa for children? How do you see it tying into religion and would you continue the traditional Santa idea with your own kids?

Once you've shot your game, you're allowed in the audience, or at least you were in my tournament. Since I was in the first game, I actually got to see the entire thing. And there was a small "party" with Alex and Maggie and some food afterwards on stage where you could take personal pics with him and such.

My dad is in 728 (older guy now, goes by Alan on the off chance you’ve met, currently besting on a show) and yeah he’s gotten a lot of injuries. There’s no way I as a woman could run cable the way he has all these years. Luckily he’s mostly healed and doesn’t have to do quite as much of the grunt work these days, plus he’s pretty damn buff for a dude in his 60s.
