    High Speed Trains

    There's no reason why you shouldn't travel by train between places a great distance apart, it just needs to offer a benefit when compared to flying or driving. If you've got the option between spending two hours in an airport waiting for the TSA agent to poke and prod at everything in sight...

    Would you live in Russia (compared to where you live now)?

    I've heard mixed things about living in Russia (based on talking to Russian people, albeit a small sample of Russian people). Some aspects of life there sound pretty good, others less so. Some talk is about people being afraid to speak against leadership, which doesn't seem like a good place to...

    A Drive-Thru you refuse to use?

    It might be easier to mention a drive-thru I do use, albeit incredibly rarely. I have been known to use a drive-thru ATM. I think that's the only drive-thru I've used at any time since long before the wu-flu.

    High Speed Trains

    Europe is also pretty big. The only way I can see high speed trains making any sense is to connect very specific population centers. The eternal trouble with public transport is that it doesn't take me from where I am to where I want to be, it either runs between very specific points (meaning I...

    Who will it be? (Vice-President nominee)

    That's easy. You blather a lot about racial and gender equality and then insist the VP must be a black woman because, well, reasons I guess. It would be kinda fun if Trump nominated a black lesbian, or a black transgender woman, even if only to see the woke brigade's heads explode as they...

    A Drive-Thru you refuse to use?

    I don't care much for drive thru at all. But then they are most closely associated with fast food and I hardly ever eat fast food.

    Are there bears in your area?

    There are bears in the mountains where I hike. I haven't seen one in years but friends with trail cams periodically report sightings of them. Sometimes I see bear scat on the trails.

    Genres of books

    I like fantasy, on the basis it's in a fictional world and makes no pretense to represent anything real. The land doesn't exist, the people don't exist, whatever magic holds it all together doesn't exist and the monsters don't exist. Usually I read fantasy as little more than brain candy so as...

    Women who don't take their husband's name

    I know this is a very specific situation but I know a couple where she didn't take his last name when they married. The reason was simple - she had earned a PhD in her maiden name and if she took a new name she would cease to be "Dr ..." I'd hope things would have changed since then, but it...

    Wish I could opt-out of political ads on tv

    "I'd just like to see a few more campaign ads and then I'll be ready to decide how to vote" - nobody, ever.

    Eye Cold aka Pink Eye

    I had conjunctivitis years ago. The pharmacist gave me a cream for it that I had to apply multiple times a day. It was a real pain - I had to wash my hands, apply to one eye, wash hands again, apply to the other eye, wash hands again. But it seemed to work. I have no idea what it was, it was...

    Wish I could opt-out of political ads on tv

    I avoid political ads on TV quite easily. There's the handy button that says OFF on it. On a marginally more serious note I don't even have cable TV. I don't feel like paying that kind of money to have ever more garbage piped into my home. The TV purveyors need me more than I need them.

    Did you ever fell a tree?

    I once ripped a tree out of the ground with my bare hands. In fairness it would be more accurately described as a sapling than a tree. I cut a couple of conifers down a while back. I cut the branches back, fed them to a shredder, then cut the trunks to about a five-foot height, cut away the...

    What sins do people choose to ignore?

    In general, probably the ones they are most prone to find tempting. In fairness it can be tricky to determine how to balance cultural expectations and eternal requirements where Scripture is concerned. We ignore a lot of Paul's writing - we don't demand women have long hair or cover their heads...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    In the heat it's hard to sustain effort without my pulse going very high so I've been alternating running and walking around my 8-mile loop. Because running for a long time is harder in the heat I've been running faster for the shorter intervals, then taking whatever time I need to cool off.

    Online Private Confession

    I don't see the need for a private confession online or offline, but there's no way I'd do it online. You never know what digital trails you're leaving these days. In a private setting with the pastor your level of trust is that the pastor won't repeat what you said, and isn't recording it. The...

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

    I think the umlaut version is pronounced with the lips more closed and it's a slightly longer sound, but that's the best way I know to describe it in a silent medium. And I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time :) From what I've seen if you are using the local language if you visit...

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

    Latin was also an option but only for alternating years. I thought it related to tenses but if I recall you pointed out an example where my theory didn't work - I remember things like "Ich esse die Eier" against "ich habe die Eier gegessen". I think some (maybe all) things also revert to...

    How do you do birthday greetings?

    Depends who it is. Most of the time we sent an electronic greeting but there a few people who get a physical card from us.
