This is presumably not the intended parsing of that sentence, but "machine learning for religious reasons" sounds like a great premise for a sci-fi novel.
Nebraska is a great place for driving really fast. One time while passing through on my way to Montana I hit 130 mph in my Integra. I don't really have anything else to say for Nebraska.
But it does go on US2 in Montana, which is one of my criteria for an "optimal" trip through US.
But insofar as Nebraska is concerned, I have relatives there, and during one family reunion, we all went to the 4th of July parade in Hoskins. The large painted sign said "Parade at 8 am, pancake breakfast at 8:30". Not a large town.
But then I grew up 6 miles outside of a town of 3000, so I am not all that in favor of large towns.
