I keep it on my phone but turn notifications off because otherwise Facebook decides I really need to know that a thread I posted in six weeks ago just took off again. I usually use text messages or Signal. For people who aren't on Signal I'll use Whatsapp but avoid discussing anything...

I suppose a lot would depend on just what someone means by "manifesting their dreams". It seems like the kind of vague term that could mean almost anything.

The forecast says there's a chance of a wintry mix with ice accumulation tonight. I hope the roads are safe to get to church tomorrow. Our last church was barely a mile from home so we could walk it if we needed to. The church we've been attending for a few weeks now is about 8 miles away, so...

My watch had a 5k challenge this weekend. Yesterday was nasty so I walked. Tomorrow is supposed to be nasty so I didn't want to leave it any longer. It was cold during the run but by the time I finished I'd worked up quite a sweat. My watch, the same watch that pairs with the software offering...

Yes, you can borrow enough gas from the can to get to the gas station, where you can refill the can and return it. Sounds convenient, as long as the gas hasn't been sitting there for eons. We usually have some gas in a can for the mower, although in the winter we just put whatever's left in one...

It's a bit of an ask to ask someone to drive 20 minutes to take you to the gas station to fill a can of gas to then drive you home and drive 20 minutes back home, because you forgot to fill up. In an emergency I suspect any friend who was able to help would be willing to help. I like to think I...

That's handy. It's good to know there are people nearby you can call on if you need them.

If you have neighbors nearby that's certainly an easier option. Or you could ask for a ride to the gas station with your gas can :)

Somewhere around 500mbps. Over wifi I usually get around 2-300 on any given device that supports it. Our provider offers faster packages but we really don't need to go faster.

It's a long way to walk but if you don't have any gas in your car you run out of options. You only need a gallon of gas, maybe less if you can buy less, to get your car to the station. You'd certainly get your steps in, walking 8 miles out and back. My nearest gas station is about 1/4 mile...

I suppose it depends on the nature of the sin, and why and how people were dealing with that particular sin.

My suggested workout was a 30-minute recovery run but I figured with rain coming I can recover tomorrow. I set off and within less than half a mile wondered whether I should go back home and put more layers on for a walk instead of a run but decided to stick with it. The first mile felt like a...

Warmer weather for a couple of days so I took the chance to get a longer run in. Monday I ran 10 miles, yesterday I didn't feel like running (more specifically my calf muscles didn't feel like running) but it was warm again so I went for a gentle run. It's a struggle to keep my speed down but I...

I think the recent fiascos with the Covid vaccine has done immeasurable damage to the reputation of vaccines overall. The endless blatherings based on nothing, the imposition of vaccine requirements even before the vaccine was fully approved, and the ongoing questions about side effects coupled...

If I'm expecting to drive anywhere the cell service is minimal at this time of year I want a decent amount of fuel in the tank, just in case. Other times I don't worry until I'm low. I don't like being concerned I don't have enough gas to get the couple of miles to my preferred gas station, but...

Is Walmart specifically "Christian friendly" or do they just offer stuff that caters to anyone and everyone? I get that's probably more friendly than some stores that offer stuff catering to every single imaginable religion except Christianity, I'm just not sure it counts as "Christian friendly"...

Getting outside in the fresh air, and still being able to walk and run in the fresh air.

Only when I can't find what I need anywhere else. As a rule I try and avoid shopping at Walmart and Amazon. Sure, they're convenient but they suck money out of communities.

Curiously, I usually took the opposite view. I flew between Europe and the US a number of times in years gone by, and if a flight was available on 9/11 I'd take it. The price was lower because there was much less demand, so I paid less for a plane that had plenty of empty seats in it.

Do they fly commercially any more? I thought since Concorde was taken out of service the only way to improve the speed of a commercial flight was to charter some kind of private aircraft. That involves some big numbers.
