    USA Trump cites Hunter Biden pardon in latest legal attempt to throw out hush money conviction

    I'd certainly be interested to know the reality of what happens if a regular citizen lies on the background check. I was under the impression it was a felony. I'm also not entirely sure (and frankly never likely to find out) how the IRS would treat me if I failed to pay seven figures in taxes -...

    Stowaway who flew from New York to Paris causes disturbance on return flight, remains in France

    The last time I flew internationally there were enough checks that it's hard to see how anyone could bypass all of them. From what I recall the security screening required a boarding pass, then boarding passes were checked upon boarding, then a flight assistant came around and took a headcount...

    How is the Christmas shopping going?

    It's December 3, so I'll probably be starting my Christmas shopping in about three weeks.

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

    My wife buys lights from the thrift store. Some years the grand total value of the lights is less than the value of the porch furniture.

    Whipped Cream on pie?

    At least part of that once came from a cow. The stuff I typically avoid is the kind of thing that has never been anywhere near a cow, except maybe when the truck transporting it went past a field. Tasty hydrogenated vegetable fats. Yummy.

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

    I know some people who are reluctant to change. I don't understand the reluctance to try new things when the potential for failure is low and the downsides are limited, but it's not like putting lights out is obligatory.

    Whipped Cream on pie?

    If it's real cream then yes. If it's the kind of nasty chemical concoction that hasn't been anywhere near nature then I'll pass.

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

    I wouldn't want to lose $50 either, but I'm not sure I'd let a single theft however many years ago put me off taking even the slightest chance. Do you live in an area where theft of seasonal decorations is a big problem?

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

    If you use cheap lights it doesn't matter if someone steals them. We have lights worth maybe $30 and an outdoor timer worth $15 or so. If someone is desperate enough to steal stuff you could get for less than $50 new (and that you'd struggle to get $20 for stolen) they're welcome to it. At...

    Africa more Christian than the US?

    It really depends on what you mean when you refer to a country being Christian. A country is a lump of rock often defined at least partly by arbitrary and invisible manmade boundaries. It cannot have beliefs or faiths. As far as populations go I think a major problem in the west is that a...

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

    My wife did that a few weeks ago. She likes a bit of sparkle when the clocks go back. Today we plugged in the lights on the bushes out front. At some point I'm going to run a new wire out to that socket and put a wifi relay on it so we don't need a separate timer. It will also mean we can tell...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I still don't feel like I'm firing on all cylinders, not sure if I've still got the very tail end of whatever bug got me earlier in the month or if it's just the cold weather. I got a run in today, although it was another run-walk-run-walk thing. It's not often it takes me until this late in the...

    No Disease God Can’t Heal

    There's a difference between "God can heal" and "God will heal". We don't necessarily understand why God heals one and not another but if we accept that God is God and we are not we have to also accept that sometimes God doesn't heal for reasons we may not grasp.

    Will politics interfere with Thanksgiving dinners?

    It's not necessary to avoid the topic, just discuss it so that people can respectfully express their views. I've had a few discussions with people I disagree with politically where we've talked about why we believe our preferred party's methods are better than the alternatives. The people whose...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I got my 15k run in, without breaking any speed records at all. It makes a bit over 35km I've run in the last three days. Perhaps it's not surprising my legs feel like dead weights right now.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    One of my monthly challenges is to complete a 15k run. I'm hoping I can get that done this week, the deadline is the end of the month so I'm running out of time. It doesn't have to be a fast run, just cover the distance. In theory if I tell my watch I'm running I can walk it and it will still...

    New visitors during Christmas season

    My last church did a Christmas Eve service and lots of people from the community came along. Most of them were members of other churches that didn't do a Christmas Eve service, so we didn't expect them to stay.

    Not much running lately, but did a gentle 10k yesterday and another one today. Lost some time earlier in the month with a bug and then lost some more time because we went away for a few days. I'm hoping I can hit my running targets and still earn the badges on my tracker software before the...
