    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    Mice aren't so cute when they get into the pantry and ruin a load of food. If you feel the urge to protect them go right on ahead. I have a cat and mouse traps.

    Is Matthew 24:3-14 coming true?

    Fair point. I read it as Messy being in the corner that the prophet was wrong, but maybe clarification there would be useful.

    Is Matthew 24:3-14 coming true?

    In fairness the post did say that people told the "prophet" to stop speaking such nonsense. The trouble with words like this is that "the return of Jesus is approaching" is such a vague concept. We can quite reasonably note that when the sun rises in the morning the return of Jesus is...

    Your house mortgage

    This is a good point although, depending on the interest rates, you can end up paying a lot more in interest over 30 years. It would also depend on whether you're in a field that gets good salary raises, whether your career is in a place where it might really take off etc. There's lots of talk...

    What tastes so good you can’t believe it’s healthy?

    Dark chocolate. A lot of fresh fruits.

    What does a non-drinker do

    Accept it graciously? One would hope that if a bottle of wine were a totally inappropriate gift (e.g. if the host had recently returned from rehab) the guest wouldn't bring it. Absent such circumstances, accept the bottle and serve it with dinner.

    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    So what if I love cats, dogs, squirrels, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, birds, horses, turtles, millipedes and armadillos while accepting that chicken remains are ground up and made into cat food? Do I get to call myself an animal lover? And who gets to decide what I can call myself? Why do we...

    Your house mortgage

    Why do you think it is unwise? I'm not sure I'd necessarily want the bank having control over my house for the sake of not paying them the last $10 or so.

    I have ordered a new MiniPC

    I've been contemplating one of those for a while but for now my laptop from around 2011-12 still does what I need it to do, so there's no particular need to update it. When I bought it I used Windows 7, recently upgraded it to Windows 10. Originally it had a 1TB SATA drive in it (the biggest you...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I did my sprint repeats. I did my own version rather than the suggested version because the suggested version ends up being easy enough it rather defeats the point. I do more and longer springs with shorter rest times, albeit with slightly slower sprint paces because I focus on running the...

    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    Says who? Besides, it's not as simple as "hard to raise as pets = used as food". The Koreans eat dogs. Armadillos aren't great pets and aren't widely eaten as food. Says who? Can't I love cats without someone else's permission? I'm not sure what that has to do with anything but, you know...

    The rear tires on cars

    Some cars have four wheel steering. It seems to be useful in low speed parking situations. Given how many people don't know how to drive with only the front wheels turning I shudder to think what a mess it would be if the rear wheels moved as well.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My suggested workout today is sprint repeats. It's already over 80 degrees. I'm not sure if I'll do the sprint repeats anyway or do something gentler and save the sprint repeats for later. I still have some work I want to get done on the house, in a room the air conditioning doesn't cover yet...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Gentle 45 minute run today, keeping my pulse around 140 or so. Didn't feel particularly strong, it was another session of just covering the ground.

    People who wear glasses:

    When I learned to drive my vision was very slightly short of the required standard so I got glasses for driving. Curiously my vision improved as I got older and I don't need them any more.

    What's a general rule about boundaries

    That's often an issue, most people can't just quit their job because they live paycheck to paycheck. In a situation like that your personal boundaries become irrelevant very fast because people can cross them with impunity and there's not much you can do about it. Sometimes speaking up makes a...

    What's a general rule about boundaries

    If the boss is a bozo the chances are telling someone else won't force him to quit. If he's breaking the law then hopefully he'll be forced out soon but if he just doesn't like you it's unlikely you'll get others to force him out. If he's being a jerk to everyone it's possible that everybody...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My tracker had a challenge to run a 5k this weekend, and another challenge to run a 15k this month. So I did a 10 mile run and got them both at the same time. It was warmer than I expected, so I was glad to have a water bottle with electrolytes in it. No speed records today, it was just about...

    What's a general rule about boundaries

    I think therapy speak is getting out of hand these days. Boundaries are all well and good but aside from reducing or eliminating contact for disrespecting boundaries there's not much I can do to specifically prevent people from ignoring boundaries. If my boss ignores my boundaries then unless...
