    spam calls

    That doesn't always work for me. My local hardware store has a local number but if they call me the call comes from the number associated with their main branch which is a couple of hours drive from here. My car dealership has a few numbers and there's no way of knowing which of them will show...

    spam calls

    I hear you, I replaced my old phone after six years because I was getting frustrated with it. My record for wasting a spam caller's time was 35 minutes. It's not going to end well for them if they call me at a time I'm looking for something to do to while away a bit of time.

    USA How could they vote for him?

    I'm curious to know when it became so normal to demonise people for having a different opinion. I can disagree with your political opinions overall while agreeing with some of them, and without acting like you're some kind of retard for having a different perspective. A couple of times I've had...

    spam calls

    A 3a? That must be quite old. I have a shiny new Pixel that does much the same, although I can usually tell it's a spam call because most of them are from area codes I don't recognise. Every once in a while I get a call that looks like it's from my town and turns out to be someone with a thick...

    Have you all had enough of politics mixing into religion?

    I don't think we should separate ourselves from the world entirely - we have to be in the world. I think a lot comes down to how we interpret some basic calls. I think of the parable of the Good Samaritan and what the Samaritan did. He saw the wounded man in need, and met the needs. He didn't...

    USA How could they vote for him?

    What bothers me is the sense (and I see this on both sides, but more so on the political left) that if I support my candidate then it's because I consider them to be better overall, while accepting they have flaws and aspects I dislike. But if you support the other candidate it logically follows...

    spam calls

    There's no point changing your number because it just inconveniences you, and sooner or later the spam will catch up with you anyway. If I don't recognise a number calling me I let it go to voicemail, unless I'm expecting a call and don't know what number it's coming from. If it's important...

    Have you all had enough of politics mixing into religion?

    I'm heartily sick of seeing people who are very visible in church change totally as soon as their hit social media, and start posting endless political bile. I completely lost respect for a few people in my former church because of that. If you want to share who you're voting for, go ahead. If...

    Is Speaking in Tongues and Gifts of the Spirit still available today?

    Do you believe that to be universally true, or true in some sections of the silly fringes of the charismatic movement? No arguments there. Paul specifically told the Corinthians that tongues should be interpreted.

    Are Christians Voting?

    Hard to know. From what I've seen in my circles some Christians are afraid that Trump might be elected and some Christians are afraid that Harris might be elected. Chances are both groups will head out to vote to try and prevent their fears from occurring. Beyond that, it's hard to say.

    Does it matter when companies remove the word Christmas?

    ... while shopping for seasonal tat? Seriously, I'm really struggling to understand why it matters that the collection of seasonal tat changes it's name from "Christmas catalog" to "Winter catalog". Especially if it's seasonal tat that arguably lasts beyond December 25.

    Does it matter when companies remove the word Christmas?

    I'm not picking, I'm trying to clarify what exactly you're trying to achieve. Sometimes people are attacked, other times their beliefs are teased and mocked, and the two are very different. Obviously you are free to boycott any company you choose for any reason you choose. I'm not sure I'd be...

    Does it matter when companies remove the word Christmas?

    So when Neiman Marcus removes "Christmas" from their catalog (presumably keeping the contents of the catalog much the same as before) does that mean they hate Christians, or that they want to be inclusive? Does it only matter if people dislike conservative Christians? Is it OK if they accept...

    Does it matter when companies remove the word Christmas?

    How do you differentiate removing mention of Christmas because they hate Jesus, and mentioning holidays in general in recognition of the fact some people celebrate other holidays?

    Does it matter when companies remove the word Christmas?

    I honestly don't care. People get so bothered by terms like "happy holidays" but the simple reality is that there are more holidays than just Christmas. Is it really such a big deal to acknowledge that some people might celebrate Diwali, Hannukah, Kwanzaa etc? It's a bit presumptuous to assume...

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

    Went to see some of the local youth run in a cross-country meet. Then I got busy reworking a nasty switch circuit I've got. It's not so much a nasty circuit, but it's a very full back box and I wanted to put some wifi relays in there, so I took it all apart and reassembled it into a deeper back...

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

    Debating what to do with the pretty light that now works nicely. Every once in a while I think there might be a market in buying lamps that don't work, rewiring them and then selling them on as lamps that do work. It's just a question of how much time and money I need to put into making them...

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

    Got some more electrics done. Now I have a dual wifi relay in one of my back boxes so it offers me remote control of what will be a light/fan combo. I've got two more of the relays on order ready to fit them to the next box (I'll need to strip everything down and refit it all to a deeper back...

    Realistic AI videos and kids

    Never mind kids, AI deepfakes could cause all sorts of issues. I saw one years ago (back when Obama was still president) that showed Obama giving a speech that sounded more or less like a regular Obama speech, except that part way through he suddenly made some comment about "all you m*f*s""...

    Best food to donate

    Another thought, it can often come across as incredibly ungrateful when people point out issues with gifts but sometimes the reality is that gifts don't help anywhere near as much as the giver presumably hopes they do. I remember when a family member was terminally sick it was a nice gesture...
