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

    At school we learned French from day 1, then we added German and Spanish in (I think) the following year, and then later on we could drop either German or Spanish but we had to take French and either German or Spanish. I chose German and spent much of the next two years wishing I'd chosen...

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

    I took German for three years at school, which was - ahem - a lot of years ago. More than I entirely care to count. I haven't used it a whole lot since then so although I remember concept-level aspects like sentence structure the specific details of vocabulary has gotten very rusty over the...

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

    Gesundheit. (from memory, showing just how rusty my German is), I think you're saying you have been learning German for about three months. Something about you can't do something. Your cats are orange and black and white, and you can't do something else. (from Google Translate) I have been...

    Men enjoy fighting/violence?

    I'd really rather not get into a physical fight unless there's no desirable way to avoid it. If there's a bit of aggro going on at the bar there's no point escalating or getting involved unless there's a compelling reason to get involved. If it's just to prove a point it's not likely to end...

    Prefer to buy from a farmstand?

    Locally grown fruit and vegetables in general. Usually they are cheaper and taste better. Maybe they need to be used up faster but I can think of worse problems to have than needing to eat a load of fresh strawberries or cherries before they go bad.

    What's the farthest you would drive for a job?

    It would depend on the drive and the job. Offer me a job paying $500,000 and I'll be more willing to travel than I will for a job paying $25,000.

    What criticisms should we give our pastors?

    In private initially. If the pastor refuses to acknowledge the criticism it may be appropriate to take it to a gradually more public forum depending on the nature of it (e.g. making inappropriate comments to my wife is something I'd treat very differently to making a comment in a sermon that I...

    Hunter Biden GUILTY! Should Biden pardon his son?

    I think we're talking at cross purposes here, but agree that Hunter is guilty as charged and shouldn't be pardoned so might as well leave it there.

    Hunter Biden GUILTY! Should Biden pardon his son?

    I don't dispute the point of the law was to stop people who are using drugs buying guns, and the jury clearly decided he was using drugs when he bought the gun. My point was that he's entitled to the same presumption of innocence regarding his intentions when buying the gun - unless there's...

    Hunter Biden GUILTY! Should Biden pardon his son?

    If he did pardon his son it would render the entire justice system more of a joke than it already is. That said, in fairness, I think it would be appropriate for Hunter to face the lower end of the potential range of the available punishments. He is, it would appear, a first-time offender with...

    Watermelon

    For me it's easy. If it's green I leave it. If it isn't green I leave it. I'm not a big lover of watermelon. Too many seeds, and I don't enjoy the flesh enough to bother with it.

    When joining a new church...

    Definitely this. Getting too involved too fast can create all sorts of issues. You can either feel trapped in a commitment you don't want any more, or you end up leaving people stuck if you suddenly disappear. ETA: I'd seriously question the wisdom within a church if they allow someone who has...

    Would you keep a snake as a pet?

    We have a cat that explores our back yard. Normally I'd chase it away but since it has been visiting us we haven't seen any voles, so I let it be. If it can eat the voles and save me putting poison down that's a good thing. I'd rather not poison the voles in case the local birds of prey eat a...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I've been enjoying the relative freedom of running my 8-mile loop in whatever form the urge takes me. I'll often walk the first mile or so to get myself warmed up, then run sections and take walk breaks more or less when I feel like it, although I'll usually try and maintain a pace up the hills...

    Baptismal gifts?

    Some years ago I knew a couple who ran a Christian bookshop. They often had people wanting christening gifts, seeking out a nice white leather-bound Bible with lovely gold-edged pages. Just the kind of thing baby needs. They'd often guide the people towards more child-friendly Bibles or...

    Baptismal gifts?

    It would depend whether it's a child or an adult. When my friend's daughter was baptised (as an adult) she already had all the "regular religious stuff" she needed and her tastes were a bit off-beat so I gave her a CD of a Christian hard rock band. She loved it.

    It's a dry heat

    Hot is hot, to a point. When it's a very humid heat and you're dripping sweat it often feels a lot hotter. When it's a very dry heat and you're losing moisture without noticing - whether through breathing in dry air or through sweat evaporating quickly - it's more of an effort to remember to...

    Recommended tire brand?

    If you don't drive very many miles it's also worth considering if there's an age rating on the tires too. For my purposes once a tire is expected to last more than about 50,000 miles it makes little difference, since I usually only drive 4-5,000 miles in a year. My car is already 13 years old...

    Last time you got sick?

    For me the last time was when my digestive system decided to violently purge itself. That's probably all the detail you need. I have no idea what caused it, other than possibly some kind of bug going around. Sicknesses that look like they might be allergies are trickier. It's probably been two...
