Well, we all will. The question is if he'll die first.

[Mason Wheeler]

Well that was unexpected.

While reading through technical documentation on the PostgreSQL database, I came across this example block:

BEGIN WORK;

-- Set up a cursor:
DECLARE liahona SCROLL CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM films;

-- Fetch the first 5 rows in the cursor liahona:
FETCH FORWARD 5 FROM liahona;

 code  |          title          | did | date_prod  |   kind   |  len
-------+-------------------------+-----+------------+----------+-------
 BL101 | The Third Man           | 101 | 1949-12-23 | Drama    | 01:44
 BL102 | The African Queen       | 101 | 1951-08-11 | Romantic | 01:43

-- Fetch the previous row:
FETCH PRIOR FROM liahona;

 code  |  title  | did | date_prod  |  kind  |  len
-------+---------+-----+------------+--------+-------
 P_301 | Vertigo | 103 | 1958-11-14 | Action | 02:08

-- Close the cursor and end the transaction:
CLOSE liahona;
COMMIT WORK;

Suddenly I'm very curious as to who's writing these docs!

The liahona is used to scroll through the movies! Who knew it was so versatile?

Temple in the Dominican Republic is announced: *cheering*

Temple in Utah is announced: *silence*

[Guest Ψιτιsτηε Βεsτ]

That was truly great. There were so many truth bombs, and a temple announced just next to me...(NO, not the Utah one)

I can’t remember who it was, but I liked the talk about the thief who stole a Book of Mormon and ended up reading it.

It was Elder Alvarado’s talk.

I loved that talk

One thing I noticed is that he said that without nitroglycerine, diatomaceous earth is worthless.  This is not entirely accurate; it's a powerful dessicant (drying-out agent) which makes it a very effective insecticide to protect gardens and trees from bugs without leaving poisonous residue on the food produced.

similar to how without the gospel, the church can still do good (as evidenced by other churches that do good for the world while having incorrect doctrine)  but it's good is enhanced with the gospel

Also, Elder Stevenson came out swinging! This decade as important as the decade with the restoration of the priesthood, the printing of the BoM, etc. That's crazy!

I liked Brother Wilcox, my favorite quote from him was "don't let the world change you when you were born to change the world"

I'm firmly in the "Pluto belongs in the dwarf planet class," but I also have to say that my astronomy-obsessed daughter paid far more attention to Sister Browning's talk than to any other.
