    David and Goliath

    Speak softly and carry a big stick stone. Maybe. Or that the little guy can defeat the big guy.

    Religion in politics

    One thing that I find curious is the way some candidates seem to focus so hard on "their faith", as if not having a faith were somehow an impediment to public office. In many ways I'd rather vote for a politician who didn't claim to have a faith but who represented my secular values, than a...

    Should illegal immigrants get free health care in the US?

    You have lots of good points here, and of course the biggest issue is the problem of people coming illegally in the first place. I don't know that I'd agree there is a moral obligation to treat them the same as if they were here legally, even beyond the obvious variance that an illegal immigrant...

    Religion in politics

    If you're talking about who we vote for then it's inevitable that our vision of what is best for the country will be affected by our religious beliefs. If you're talking about whether politicians with religious convictions should have those play a role, it's equally inevitable that they will...

    Should illegal immigrants get free health care in the US?

    All these are valid points although they don't address the question of how treatment of illegal immigrants compares to treatment of legal immigrants or citizens. It is certainly laudable to offer help to people in need. It just rings hollow when citizens are left to figure it out for themselves...

    Nutrition Facts Label

    Depends what it is. Sometimes I check for artificial sweeteners because I try to avoid most of those. I also check for sugars in drinks because some drinks have terrifying amounts of sugar in them. I hardly ever drink fizzy drinks these days so when I do I find the amount of sugar to be verging...

    Should illegal immigrants get free health care in the US?

    Gotta harvest the votes from somewhere I guess. I remember reading a comment that said if illegals voted Republican you can be sure the Democrats would be all over voter ID rules and probably require everything short of a colonoscopy to determine eligibility to vote.

    Your phobia

    In fairness even if the mice did want to hurt us (you can never be too sure with those things...) a rational assessment is that a mouse against a human isn't a very evenly matched fight. Their only option is to steal our food and starve us into submission. Now I'm hoping no mice are reading...

    Checking emails

    My phone automatically checks something like every 30 minutes. If it beeps to say I have an email I look at it when I have a minute. Most of the email I get is junk. When I'm using my computer that checks every 15 minutes. A window in the corner of the screen gives me an overview of what's...

    Should illegal immigrants get free health care in the US?

    It's ironic when legal immigrants (the ones who obeyed the law) don't get freebies while the ones who broke the law do.

    The welfare system

    It's a difficult one to balance. If you give people too much money it makes it ever-harder to get into work. Not necessarily by making it too easy but by making the lower rungs of the work ladder less and less palatable. It's not hard to see why someone might be reluctant to work if it meant a...

    Your phobia

    You'd be surprised how mice can find their way into something. It turns out they can get through an extremely small gap in something.

    Is it stealing?

    I'd say anything consumable is paid for - soaps, shampoos etc. These things that the hotel provides, expecting them to be used, and potentially throws away and replaces if they are unused. If you've opened the tiny bar of soap and washed your hands with it, the rest of it should be going in the...

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

    Fiddling with some computer code. I've got an application I wrote years ago that has evolved over the years, and recently I tried to update it only to realise just how convoluted parts of the code have become over the years. So I'm working on streamlining it and stripping out a load of...

    What size monitor do you have?

    I think mine is a 24. I've had it for something like 13 years now. It's old enough that I can't find drivers for Windows 10, so it doesn't work properly with an HDMI cable.

    If you saw a neighbor spying with binoculars

    Depending on local legislation either called the police or maybe mount a telescope on a tripod looking at where she watches you from. Either that or put something in the window that would bother her so she didn't watch any more.

    Bread pudding

    A good bread pudding is very tasty although more than a little heavy on the calories. A bad bread pudding is like 5000 dead calories in a dish that tastes like cardboard.

    Fitbit

    Personally I'd get a Garmin. It's hard to define "best" without knowing what you want to do with it and what sort of budget you're working with.

    Does your home have a basement?

    I have an unfinished basement. Some people in the area have finished basements but I just use mine as a store and a workshop. Most of my power tools live in the basement, as does one of my workbenches.

    GoFundMe

    If I've ever used GoFundMe it was only once, when a friend was raising money for abseiling down some big structure or another. When it's someone I don't know I don't use it at all, because unless I know there is actually a need I don't feel like giving money so a stranger can just have some...
