    Turning your life around

    Started walking, then running. Lost a load of weight and I'm fitter than I've ever been in my life.

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

    Spent a while running cables for a new thermostat. I need to split my heating loop into two. I've got the stubs ready on the furnace, and some PEX connectors on hand. Next I need to drain the system, rejig it, and refill it. Ideally before it gets properly cold.

    Too old to be president

    You could just as easily ask the same question about Biden, given he appears to be far more impaired than Trump.

    Adopted children

    If adoption is to be presented as a viable alternative to abortion I think parents must have the right to say they don't want their children to be given more than very basic medical details. If you're saying that parents shouldn't have the right to decline meeting the child they gave up 10, 20...

    Old age lifestyle

    Very true. I don't feel like my chronological age, although every once in a while my body reminds me I'm not 25 any more.

    Old age lifestyle

    It's worth keeping in mind proximity to neighbors and what ailments they may have. A thing that always put my parents off was the fact they didn't care for TV and didn't want to be in close quarters, potentially with thin walls, with neighbors who did like endless TV and were hard of hearing so...

    Too old to be president

    It certainly looks like age hasn't been kind to Biden, especially when it seems growing numbers of Democrats are saying he shouldn't run again. So far Trump seems less affected but if he is re-elected he'll be the wrong side of 80 by the time his term is over, and it's hard to know if he will...

    Old age lifestyle

    I really have no interest in living in a community of old people. It seems like it would be nice to have someone else mow the yard and shovel the snow but I like the freedom of having my own place. If I get to the point where I can't look after myself I may reconsider, but the thought of...

    Adopted children

    The key thing is that the parents should have the right to accept or decline a meeting with the child. It may be they gave the child up because they didn't want it, or because they weren't able to look after it, or because there were some other social factors at play. It wasn't that long ago...

    Transgender teddy bears

    It's not really necessary at any level in school. If a girl can't count to two without taking her top off there are more pressing issues for the school to address than whether she thinks she's really a he.

    Bucket Prank

    It's not as dumb as the guys using red paintballs to shoot random pedestrians with a paintball gun from the back of a pickup. It was all fun and games until someone felt he had been shot, put his hand to the area and saw it came away red, figured he was under fire and drew his own gun and...

    Encountering challenges

    Are there any teachings in the Bible that aren't challenging in some way?

    Adopted children

    That's a thorny one. These days I believe most adoptions are open, but I can see that if the biological parents don't want their information known they should have some rights as well. If people want to present giving a child up for adoption as a preferable alternative to abortion it doesn't...

    Homeowners

    That sounds tricky - I thought you were saying the stairwell wasn't wide enough to use if you had a chair lift in it. If you need a lot of space at the bottom of the stairs that rules out some options. That said hanging the front door to open outwards is probably cheaper than moving :)

    EV, not for me!

    One of the newer high-rise buildings in London had an unfortunate side-effect of melting cars. Apparently at certain times of day the curved walls focused the sun's light and concentrated it in a specific spot. Not a spot that would obviously suffer this effect, as a few people who parked there...

    1959's Body Standards

    It's good to have the concept of frame size in the guidelines, which is more than the very limited BMI measurement these days does. It still makes no account of the difference between someone who naturally has a larger frame and someone who spends their days lifting weights.

    Stealing a crucifix

    You'd be stealing from the person's estate. Do you think it's not theft to take something that doesn't belong to you, however apparently clever an argument you can present that the rightful owner won't miss it? Except your argument hinged on the person not being able to exercise rights of...

    Passwords

    I have a few accounts with the same password - these are for the kind of sites where it makes little to no difference if the account is compromised. Anything that matters has a password that's a jumble of letters. The jumble means something to me but if you looked at it the chances are you'd...

    Stealing a crucifix

    Sure, except the point remains that the theft is still a theft even if the dead man isn't technically the legal owner of the item being stolen. True, although a person receiving 24-hour hospice care after suffering a major stroke is virtually guaranteed to never recover such possibility. And...

    Gender-affirmation surgery

    It seems like just another reason why health insurance should be decoupled from employment. It's easy to use a case like this to say that insurance (employers, or whatever else) shouldn't be required to pay for something like this. The eternal question is where to draw lines. Some would say...
