    Wi-Fi jammers

    I refuse to use anything like Alexa because I don't want some gizmo listening to everything I say and presumably routing it to some external server to process what I'm saying so it can respond. I do use a few smart devices in my home but nothing that's mission critical. I wouldn't use a...

    Non-life threatening illness

    Probably my first encounter with COVID. At the time I figured it couldn't be COVID because the boffins in government said it was confined to the north west, but a friend who had the exact same symptoms at the same time later tested positive for COVID antibodies. For me it was like the worst...

    I voted in the Republican Primary

    Personally I regard voting as saying "Candidate A is preferable to Candidate B" rather than "I really want Candidate A to be in charge". If I really struggle to like either candidate I'd still try to figure which one I'd rather have in office, even if the honest answer is neither of them...

    What should be on a church website?

    Fair enough, I personally wouldn't worry too much about the pastor's information but that makes sense. Information about youth groups and things happening during the week can indicate a church that isn't just a Sunday morning thing.

    What should be on a church website?

    Knowing where to find the church is kinda useful if you want to visit. Why do you consider the name of the pastor to be important?

    Hello!

    Coming in a bit late but hopefully not to late to say hello and welcome!

    What should be on a church website?

    I'd say the crucial things are what times everything happens and a statement of the church's beliefs. If anything about attending a service isn't readily obvious to a person who has never been to church before, or who has never been to that particular church before, that should also be listed...

    Eldest daughter syndrome

    It's a tricky one. It's reasonable that family workload should be shared more fairly than just dumping it all on the oldest girl but these days it seems just about everything is considered a trigger for all kinds of trauma, kids aren't expected to do anything except play regardless of its impact...

    Supreme Court rules against Colorado concerning Trump on ballot

    It was good to see a unanimous ruling. Had it split along party lines it would have made the election even more polarised. Since all the Democrats on the SC agreed that it was for Congress rather than individual states to invoke Article 14 it will hopefully tone down at least some of the...

    Do Not Resuscitate

    An elderly relative of my wife's had a living will that pretty much said she didn't want any medical heroics to try and eke out a few more months of life. Much like Forgiven just said above, she'd accept basic treatment to handle the ailments of growing older but figured that once her time was...

    Left-side driving

    I suppose in many ways it's like changing any system that's very well entrenched. Looking at the US healthcare system it's broken in so many ways and yet many people passionately resist changing it. Regardless of the political implications of any preferred approach and the inevitable situation...

    Left-side driving

    There's a few quirks about the way the British do stuff. Distances are measured in miles but fuel is sold in litres, beer is sold in pints but milk is sold in litres, many metric measurements coincidentally happen to perfectly match the old imperial measurements (something that used to be 2lb is...

    My wife wears her wedding ring, eternity ring, engagement ring, in that order. Her wedding ring goes on first.

    Gas vs electric-powered leaf blowers

    I don't use a leaf blower at all. My lawn mower is gas powered. The price of the electric ones is silly - I'm not interested in running long cables and battery powered mowers seem to eat batteries from what I can tell. Since I can do a year's worth of mowing with less than 5 gallons of gas I...

    For Married Men

    Not at the moment. I lost a lot of weight and it's so loose it falls off. I need to find a jeweler who can shrink it but the only local jeweler who has shown any interest doesn't do the best quality work but expects a high price for it. Since it's a simple gold band what I really want to find...

    Left-side driving

    Honestly, you'd need a pretty compelling reason to do it and I'm not seeing any such reason. There are a lot more cars on the road than there were in the 1960s, a lot more signposts and a lot more other infrastructure that wouldn't be trivial to switch. I suspect the population of the UK is...

    Left-side driving

    To change would be a pretty major issue. Many junctions would work more or less normally if reversed but every single car on the road would be the wrong way around. If the driver sits in the middle of the road they can see further down the road. If the driver sits on the right and also drives...

    How did you earn your first money?

    A guest bedroom?

    Kind of. Hopefully before long we'll have a dedicated guest bedroom. It depends on my progress on my renovation project.

    out of curiosity ...

    I don't recall Scripture mentioning skin tones although given it was mostly set in what we'd currently call the Middle East it doesn't seem unreasonable to assume most of the people in it would have been olive-skinned or darker. The Roman Empire would probably have been largely made up of...
