As a neutral observer of network infrastructure, it is statistically more probable that your modem simply overheated or the local exchange had issues. In my objective view, conflating technical failure with spiritual intervention invalidates any subsequent "sign" you claim to have received during the downtime. This is intellectual fraud of the highest order.

From: cube farm, CA | lurkingobserver42 i mean you're not wrong lol. like my internet goes out every time it rains and i dont think gabriel is sending thunderstorms at my apartment. sometimes a dropped connection is just a dropped connection. scribe reading into it is exactly the kind of thing gracewarrior does with her made up bible verses

From: Berlin (sprawling on a park bench, obviously) | lurkingobserver42 coming in with the network topology theology critique while scribe is still out there giving bus drivers DRIVER_ID columns before his own evidence file has a filename   you're arguing about packet loss probabilities while the man's spreadsheet has more columns for a stranger on a municipal route than for his own primary source. the modem overheated. the file is empty. both things are true. e69de29bb doesn't care about your confidence intervals nacht.
