    For dinner at someone's house,

    It depends who I am visiting. Some people say to arrive at 7 but if you do they aren't ready, Others will have been ready since 2:30.

    As you have gotten older

    There is something of a difference between lifestyle choices that don't affect anyone else and breaking the law. If you steal my stuff I will expect the law to dole out consequences, assuming I don't get there first. But I really couldn't care less what you do in your bedroom, or who you do it...

    As you have gotten older

    Hard to take it seriously with a title of "trans commies" but either way raping, whoever the victim, doesn't fall under "not hurting anyone else" so doesn't apply to what I was saying. The media ignoring stuff that doesn't suit their preferred narrative isn't a new thing.

    The first thing you look at

    I tend to be drawn to unusual things. I don't necessarily like them, I don't necessarily want to own them even if I do like them, I just like things that you don't see everywhere.

    The first thing you look at

    I don't tend to look at something specific, depending on the appearance of their house I'll notice one thing or another. I tend to notice, in no particular order, interesting pictures or large ornaments, unusual furniture, unusual paint/trim/decor, unusual size and shape of rooms...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    We have the windows shut and ran the HEPA filter overnight. This morning looks about as hazy as yesterday did. Depending on whether the air smells smoky we may take some exercise indoors rather than outdoors. Yesterday the haze made it hard to see any distance but for closer stuff it didn't seem...

    For us there's a slight smell of smoke in the air. My wife's sinuses are acting up a little so we've got the air conditioner running in regular fan mode, and plan to run the HEPA filter overnight. I should probably look at getting an ioniser, I've always found they pull a lot of gunk out of the...

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    When you're talking about the Pharisees in particular, the question is whether they knew he was the Messiah at all. Given modern day Jews don't believe Jesus is the Messiah it's certainly possible that at least some first century Jews didn't believe it either. If you're expecting someone, then...

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    The same as anyone else would lose by accepting a false Messiah. If you don't believe Jesus is the Messiah (and the Jews don't believe that he is) then you'd be accepting something you didn't believe was true. "I am the Messiah" is a pretty bold claim. I don't know about you but I wouldn't...

    I went outside to check the air and decided to run anyway. I figured if it was hard to breathe I'd cut things short and do something indoors, but didn't notice anything different at all, except for some visual haze. 8 miles of speed repeats later my legs ached. I planned to do sprint repeats but...

    No storms. It rained, then the sun came out. Then it rained hard, and then the sun came out. We probably had 15 minutes of rain. I had planned a run today but the air looks incredibly hazy so I'm not sure I want to be breathing it too hard. I might do something at the church hall instead. I...

    Is it rude to refuse food

    So much would depend on circumstance. If you move to a new house and the new neighbors bring a plate of cookies around, it would seem rude to refuse the gift even if you decide you'd rather not eat them until you know their neighbors better. But if you have a specific allergy that would seem...

    Respect has to be earned?

    Did the Samaritan have respect for him, or simply recognise him as a fellow human in need of help? The Levite and the priest aren't as clear cut as might first appear. Touching a dead body had consequences under the Law, so it's conceivable they were worried about becoming ceremonially unclean...

    Aaaaaaand today's effort was a walk with my wife, although we jogged for about 20% of the total distance. She's undecided whether she wants to get into running but does want something to build and maintain fitness.

    As you have gotten older

    I think that boils down to the question that if someone's life choices, however weird they might seem to us, aren't hurting anybody else then there's no reason to be bothered by it.

    ‘Forever chemical’ claims

    What would you want the companies to do? Once something like this is out it's hard to get it back under control. Asking them to pay healthcare costs is the kind of thing that creates all sorts of problem areas because everyone and their dog will be claiming their problems are due to these...

    We have a chance of thunderstorms later today so I'll probably go for a walk with my wife this morning. My suggested workout is a base level run but I might give me legs a rest and walk instead.

    A longer run today. My suggested workout was slightly over an hour so I decided to extend it and tick off my 15k run for the month.

    Respect has to be earned?

    And I'd repeat my answer, you can lack respect for someone without actively disrespecting them. To go a step further I think you can think someone is a steaming pile of garbage but still love them. As Romanos put it, you can love someone without liking them. You can actively dislike someone...

    How spicy do you like your salsa?

    Unless it makes molten lava look chilly it's not hot enough.
