    Political Commercials have begun

    Maybe I'll run. At least one person has told me I should. I'd only need another 50 million or so people to agree with them. That said given the 2016 election when Trump's primary attraction was Not Being Clinton and Clinton's primary attraction was Not Being Trump, perhaps the advantage of Not...

    Let's talk extended warranty

    With extended warranties it seems to me that on average you will lose. That's how the warranty companies make their profits. The question is whether you can afford not to be average, although these days it seems if something is going to fail it will probably fail within the regular warranty...

    Job Question

    I remember a time my problem manager presented me with a silly deadline. I laughed at him and asked if he'd like me to find a cure for cancer while I was at it.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Easy base level workout today. I still struggle to keep my speed down but I guess my fitness continues to improve because my heart rate stayed lower than it has at the base level speed. When I was done it counted as low aerobic activity rather than high aerobic, so I'm obviously improving even...

    Vote for me! I'm not running for office but there are still people spending megabucks to promote my candidacy for, well, something or other. So remember my name when you step into the voting booth. When you don't find it on any of the ballots, figure something else out, I guess....

    Pastors who endorse Political candidates?

    There's no reason to leave our values at home (and equally no reason for anyone else, regardless of their faith, to leave their values behind). The problem is when someone else tries to tell us which values are superior to which other values. You listed abortion as being one of your primary...

    Medical marijuana

    There was no such escape clause. Try reading what I wrote. Try reading what I wrote. I wasn't talking about doing 140mph in West Virginia. Here's a better modification: Albion actually read what was written instead of twisting it into another strawman and addressed some of the issues in the...

    Medical marijuana

    A very unlikely event? It was an actual event. What the circumstances happen to be is exactly what counts. Far from a "one in a billion" event and your rather curious question of whether it even happened, doesn't need to relate to roads Americans normally use. If it makes you feel better I've...

    Medical marijuana

    I've driven on US interstate highways with no junctions for several miles, three lanes in both directions and no traffic ahead as far as I could see. That was in the eastern parts of the US. I've never been out west but from what I gather the population is sparser, so chances are it's safer...

    Medical marijuana

    So, let me get this right, circumstances matter? All sorts of objects near the roadway? You're talking in very generic terms here. Remember I was actually there and watching very intently for any such objects. Well, since your method of "countering" my argument that circumstances matter is...

    Drivers license

    It seems like it would create a huge administrative burden with little benefit. It doesn't seem unreasonable that if you've been involved in an at-fault accident or started a collection of moving violations, you should have to demonstrate you are still a safe driver. But that's only useful if...

    Pastors who endorse Political candidates?

    Interestingly, after eight years of attending my church I have no idea which way my pastor votes. I've never really discussed political matters with him. I couldn't even tell you whether he votes at all. People who know me know my political leanings, they aren't a secret. If I'm in the pulpit I...

    I avoid watching regular TV so political ads are one of the things I escape.

    Pastors who endorse Political candidates?

    Not a pastor, but a guest speaker, some years ago. The one and only time I ever walked out of church in disgust during a sermon (not my current church, I should add). The speaker seemed to have nothing to say except for endless digs at the newly elected president. Politically I agreed with the...

    Ah, that would make working with metal in the cold more difficult. I can't say I hugely enjoyed fitting metal sheeting to my porch ceiling in the cold, but I think it was maybe November I did that. Today's walk was a gentle loop with my wife. My suggested workout was a 45-minute base run but...

    Would you charge Usury? Is Usury immoral?

    The trouble with terms like "usury" as opposed to regular interest is that things become a question of degree. Is it reasonable to charge someone 6% annual interest on a $10,000 loan with a 5-year term? Most people would think so. What about charging someone 4296% APY on a loan? People look...

    A freak accident

    A friend of mine in the UK had a regular handyman who did just about everything in houses. He was licensed to work on gas, he did plumbing, carpentry, kitchens and bathrooms, just about everything. The one thing he wouldn't do was electrics. Apparently a guy he knew had been doing some...

    Not sure why it posted that four times... My suggested workout today was sprint repeats. So, like I did before, I did my own repeats rather than following the much easier suggestion from my Garmin. They weren't as fast as the last set because my legs wouldn't do it, but they were longer and...

    Are you particularly sensitive to the cold? For it to be cold enough for my fingers to not work it has to be really cold.
