    Florida criminalizes homelessness

    If you don't have anywhere to go to sleep for the night in the conventional sense (home, friend's couch, whatever) you don't have a lot of option but to sleep in a public space. Theoretically speaking it makes sleeping in public a crime rather than simply being homeless but practically speaking...

    Baby Olivia

    I didn't read the linked article so there may be more there than your post describes. I can't help thinking that learning about the unborn growing in the womb, with different stages of development, can only be a good thing. People can draw their own conclusions from seeing a zygote progress...

    Florida criminalizes homelessness

    Not all homeless people are addicts. One problem with homelessness is that it is so much more complex than a convenient single issue that can be forcibly addressed. If someone is an addict perhaps they can be required to attend rehab, but that raises the question of whether people have the...

    Will you be watching the eclipse?

    Dark enough seems to be something people could endlessly wonder about. If you sit and stare at the sun you'll need something darker than if you snatch occasional glances. You can snatch an occasional glance at the sun with no eye protection at all - we do it every day but look away very fast...

    Will you be watching the eclipse?

    As long as you don't stare at the sun I think you're more or less OK with dark sunglasses. That's what I did for much of the time. I also had a polarising filter that I paired with my polarised sunglasses so I could look at it for longer. I've been toying with the idea of getting two liner...

    Computer Virus

    I'm not aware of ever having had a virus. My antivirus software has caught a couple. Every once in a while my antivirus gets antsy and quarantines one of my applications. I know it's safe because I wrote it myself, but still I have to add it as an exception.

    Will you be watching the eclipse?

    I had thought to drive into the path of totality but the only places that were within a sensible drive had high chances of cloud cover. I don't feel like driving 4-5 hours there and maybe double that or more to get home, to see the clouds. I can do that from here. So we're going to our local...

    Car dealerships question

    As Josiah said it's a game. If the dealer can paint himself as the good guy while the manager is the bad guy he can maybe create a bit of rapport and get the customer to pay a bit more, or maybe paint a picture that the manager won't let him cut the price as much as he'd like to but if the...

    Keep Your Pets Safe During The Total Solar Eclipse

    I saw a solar eclipse (at least I got to see it from the wrong side of a lot of clouds), and it was weird to hear birds fall silent so suddenly. I was on a boat so no walking animals to observe. I gather a lot of bugs that come out late in the afternoon came out ahead of time and promptly went...

    If AI is going to replace jobs

    Never mind AI, what happens when more people figure it's not worth working a dead end job because it takes up all your time and doesn't offer anything except a lifetime of permanent drudge, when you can get that on welfare but without the work?

    New York inmates are suing to watch the solar eclipse

    I always thought being in prison was some kind of punishment. Jesus often went into the wilderness. I'm not an expert on the Qu'ran by any means but I suspect Muhammed may have done the same. Maybe inmates should have the right to go into the wilderness whenever they want too?

    Religion is losing influence in public life

    It's also worth considering the transition from an expectation that people would go to church, to that expectation fading. The people who have no particular faith but who go to church on a Sunday because that's what you do on a Sunday, or because that's what they've always done, increasingly...

    15 Biblical "Sins" You're Totally Free To Commit

    You're using lots of fine-sounding words here but nothing is related to the subject matter. Throw in a few personal jabs and you've got a classic example of blowing smoke. Smoke, smoke, smoke. It's easier than presenting a useful argument.

    Yard Sales

    Sometimes I browse them. Usually most of what's on offer is stuff people are getting rid of for a reason. I wouldn't buy most of the things the article thinks we should always grab. I don't really want to be stuck with a single-use item that turns out not to work and has no warranty, I wouldn't...

    The Easter Story

    That article looked like it might have some interesting points but got progressively lamer until it was frankly comical. Lots of "woulda coulda maybe mightabeen" stuff, and a few things that indicate either the writer, or the people they talked to, really don't understand what the faith is...

    Which French Fry?

    I like steak fries and waffle fries. The main thing is that I want a potato that has been cut up rather than a potato that has been mashed, blended with who knows what and then extruded into the kind of thing you'd find at a fast food outlet.

    A secret room

    Storing my secret stash of gold bars. On a more serious note with my renovation I've considered creating a secret space, but struggle to think of a reason to actually use it. Chances are I won't bother. If we had small children it would be fun to see how long it took them to find it. My wife's...
