    AI and Medicine

    It's pretty common that medicines have side effects. What's worrying is when side effects are listed and many of them are significantly worse than the condition the medicine is supposed to treat.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Really not liking the hot weather, it's so very draining trying to maintain a decent pace in it. I've been doing a lot of gentle runs, and my watch is constantly telling me I need to train harder. Today I did speed repeats. Not full-on sprints, my watch suggested a pace I'm not sure if I can...

    Prayer Request Thread June-July 2025

    After a slight delay it looks like we should get a definitive answer one way or the other shortly after Labor Day. So far it looks like everything will go the way we're expecting but, as the saying goes, time will tell.

    Big concerts or little venues?

    I saw Kings X play live in a tiny little venue I didn't even know existed until a friend invited me to join him for the gig. The cost per ticket was the equivalent of maybe $15-20 per person, cheap enough that my wife came along even though she wasn't sure what she'd make of it. It was a...

    Jesus will save you if you.... ???

    Coming in a little late here, it looks like a lot of good stuff is said. What I need to do is repent and believe. If the church expects me to earn salvation by giving something or praying a very specific form of words, chances are I'll be looking for another church. I don't care much for the...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Trying to remove a section of base board from behind some stairs. It's one of the few occasions I've been thankful a length of board is made up of pieces because this has been a headache. Lots of nails from all directions, many of them almost totally inaccessible, such that I've had to cut into...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    My wife and I survived the day of babysitting. We had two sisters, aged 5 and 6, to look after for the day. We're very fond of them so we don't mind keeping them so their mom can go to work. I concluded getting a sawzall blade behind my baseboard is an exercise in futility because a 9" blade...

    I got myself a pet termite. I'm calling him Clint. Clint Eatswood.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I got my air conditioning filters cleaned. I tried using a vacuum cleaner on them but it didn't work as well as I hoped so I took them outside and gave them a good spray with an air compressor. It blew some dust out of them and when the dust stopped blowing they were visibly cleaner again...

    Prayer Request Thread June-July 2025

    I mentioned a situation in the thread a couple of months back. It's still premature to post details on a public board but things have been progressing well so far. I'm hoping everything will wrap up in the way everybody is hoping, probably next month, but never say no to extra prayers that we...

    Invite your pastor to dinner?

    Not at my current church, although the pastor has invited us for dinner. (We've only been going a few months so far). At my previous church we had the pastor and his wife for dinner. At the church before that, before we moved, we had dinner with the pastor and his wife fairly regularly.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Not such a fun job this afternoon. The bathroom sink was blocked. Usually it's a simple fix, nothing more than removing the U-trap underneath it and cleaning the plughole out. This time that didn't work, it turned out the blockage was in the pipe under the floor. In the process of cleaning the...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Very much so. It's remarkable how a long walk can clear my thoughts and bring things into focus. A long walk in the woods is even better, but in this heat the mountains are a bit strenuous. And a long walk takes away the regular distractions of being at home. My wife and I also found that a...

    Bad health advice?

    They definitely aren't all bad, our current doctor is perfectly willing to focus on lifestyle changes before medication. It's just that one particular doctor I never plan to visit again.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Fun couple of days. Yesterday I went for a long walk with my wife and had a long talk while we were walking. Then we decided to clear out a few things that we'd been keeping as a kinda-sorta-reminder of part of our life from a few years ago. But it seemed they were causing problems, so I took...

    Bad health advice?

    I had a few words with him on the followup appointment, and made a mental note that I'd rather not see a doctor at all than ever darken his door again.

    Bad health advice?

    My wife once saw a stand-in doctor who saw a few of her blood numbers were very marginally outside ideal boundaries and wanted to put her on several medications to manage these "conditions". He even took me to task for questioning whether it was really necessary. When our regular doctor was back...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Our Staples is about the same distance. It's a bit of a drag but we're in town often enough that we can work with it. Usually the printer gives enough notice that the ink is low I have several weeks (usually several months) before hitting a crunch point with the ink. And a cartridge won't go bad...

    Do you have credit cards?

    I have three - the one I use for most purchases with the highest credit limit, another one I got for my wife because we wanted to get her credit rating up higher than it would go being an additional user on my account, and another one I virtually never use but serves a very specific purpose. I...
