    Locked out

    I went for a walk with my wife. When we got home I got the key out of my pocket and found.... I'd picked up the key to my friend's house by mistake. Oops. I tried to pick the lock but without any useful tools it was impossible, so we called a friend who has a spare key. Now we have a spare key...

    About Sam Kinison's death

    I guess it happens to anyone God wants it to happen to.

    Lowers the home value

    Not necessarily even anything unusual. If your buyer just doesn't like the color of the carpet or the paint they'll be thinking about the cost of replacing it even if they aren't thinking they'll want the work done before they even move in. By the time you try and figure that something light...

    The separation of church and state

    There's a big difference between saying the country requires vibrant expressions of faith and saying the Constitution calls for vibrant expressions of faith. We can and should keep church and state separate. The state doesn't need to interfere in matters of faith, nor should it require or...

    Who was your favorite USA president from before you were born?

    Hard to say, I never met any of them ;)

    Urinating in public

    Flagrant disregard for public decency is one thing. I remember seeing some guy, drunk and being egged on by his drinking buddies, taking a leak from the upstairs balcony of a bar onto the cars parked below. That's the kind of situation where you wonder why there can't be a cop around. Aside...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Having done a fast run on Christmas Eve I decided to do a longer run on Christmas Day while the food was in the oven. Any form of running after a heavy dinner was just not going to happen. I cut the route a little shorter than originally planned so I'd be back in time to help switch everything...

    Dementia Question

    In the early stages, probably. In the later stages, almost certainly not. The trouble with early stages is telling the difference between normal aging and something that might need attention.

    Lowers the home value

    The thing with home updates that lower the value is that if the homeowner wants them it doesn't necessarily matter if it lowers the value. When I'm fixing up my house I keep a loose consideration for what might make it more or less saleable in the future but ultimately I'm interested in making...

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

    Fun With Taps. Our cold tap has been dripping for a while. You can fiddle with it to stop it dripping but it's a bit of a drag. So today I decided it was time to fix it so took the guts out of it and enjoyed a fun game of Match The Stem at the hardware store. It's a great game - you take...

    What does this phrase mean?

    Nobody is forced, we are given options and consequences. Where I live we have guns and a legal concept called the castle doctrine. The short version of what that means is that if you break into my house I'm allowed to shoot you. Whether you think this is just or not makes exactly zero...

    What does this phrase mean?

    Or, in other words, God is not just unless Lucian Hodoboc thinks God is just? Sure, that's exactly what Jesus said to do. Wasn't it awfully nice of him to describe what people needed to do? Much of life is about choices. If you sit on your rear end all day and stuff your face with garbage...

    What does this phrase mean?

    Perhaps if you have no sign then, and only then, are you in a place to judge others for their sin? And, as you say, if you have no sin you may not feel the need to judge, as indeed Jesus demonstrated when he chose not to condemn the woman. But we can also note the "go and sin no more" side of...

    What does this phrase mean?

    If anything it's the point. If you have no sin you have the right to cast the first stone, and the one person there who had no sin did decide not to cast the stone. Why would God refuse the desires of someone who did not want to be with him? How can you claim that a being with a pure heart...

    What does this phrase mean?

    It was what Jesus said when he was challenged as to the fate of a woman "caught in adultery, in the very act". The Law demanded she be stoned, but the same Law also demanded that the man involved also be stoned. If she was caught "in the very act" it's safe to assume that the man involved wasn't...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Today's suggestion was a threshold level workout. Because it's been cold I haven't done much running lately so it was good to blow off some cobwebs and run a bit harder than usual. I maintained a pace about 20s/mile faster than the suggested pace. Originally I'd thought I might take aim at my...

    Urinating in public

    It's ridiculous. If you have to go then you have to go, and there's only so long you can hold it before it's going to come out regardless. Of course there are different levels of discretion. It's hard to have much sympathy if someone simply stands in the middle of the street taking a leak but...

    Homeless people

    Or it comes from the perspective of the US medical system, which I'm sure you know requires some form of payment in exchange for medical care. Unless you're an illegal immigrant, apparently. I suspect the issue isn't begrudging medical care to people who need it as much as wondering why some...

    Homeless people

    Under a system like the US healthcare system it makes little sense to hand out free care to some groups while leaving others to struggle with medical bills. If the system ever gets changed to something more like a European model then it would make sense to offer medical care to anyone in the...

    Windows 10 support ending

    Still using Windows 10 on one computer and Windows 7 on another. Those are computers in regular use, I didn't count my old laptop that runs Windows XP because I couldn't tell you the last time I actually used it. There's no reason people need to dump their PC just because Microscoff decides not...
