    Pet peeve about driving

    The people who can see you waiting to turn out of a side road but still don't bother to indicate that they are turning into the side road. Related - the people who indicate before a turning but don't actually turn - they wanted the turning two or three junctions later and figured everyone else...

    Stealing food

    I can believe it. I think the biggest problem with the government programs is that they end up abandoning the people who are trying to get back on their feet while providing an easy option for people who find free money easier than working for it. And once you're into the system it can be...

    Pet peeve about driving

    If you can't see enough to stop in time you should probably slow down. What if it was a broken down car or an injured animal or even the back of a line of stopped cars?

    Being overweight

    It's remarkable what happens when you take responsibility for making decisions. Not least because you accept that you can make different decisions and get a different outcome. In my case, eating more sensibly and moving around more. It's remarkable. When everything is someone else's fault (or...

    Stealing food

    Sure, the original tithe was about a percentage of produce given to the priests who were not permitted to work. If there were 12 tribes and 11 of them gave 10% of their produce to the last one, that means the priests had enough for themselves and enough to distribute. Nowadays the tax burden...

    Stealing food

    I guess you mean when Jesus and the disciples were rubbing the heads and eating the grain? I wasn't thinking specifically of that, just the concept of a balance between being allowed to eat something from a field without taking any away with you. Not specifically a teaching of Jesus, just a...

    Being overweight

    Good to see you know my history so well. You know what they say about making assumptions.... Somewhere there has to be a balance between acknowledging circumstance and accepting responsibility. When my weight was at its highest my BMI was 34.8 so I was only slightly shy of being considered...

    When choosing a life partner

    Thinking "I'll change him/her". If there's something you really can't stand about your boyfriend/girlfriend don't think it will be any less annoying once you've been married a decade or more. If it's really that infuriating you probably won't last a decade let alone a lifetime. Overlooking huge...

    Stealing food

    There's a provision in the OT for people to eat crops that aren't theirs if they are passing through a field. You can eat while passing through but can't harvest and carry away. In an age where many people don't go anywhere near where crops are grown that option goes away. From a purely moral...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    This particular work is easy, it's just about figuring where I want the ceiling vents to be located and checking the space above for joists, pipes, cables etc. It's not particularly difficult, it's just about figuring where I can cut a wide hole without crossing any joists. Wires and pipes are...

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

    Need to get some work done before having air conditioning installed. So far I've figured the routing for the pipes to get from outside to inside to the attic. Today's job was to rip out a rotted window frame and replace it. I had pressure treated wood on hand and a big wrecking bar. The first...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    When I've got my preparation work done for the air conditioning guys I want to get back into the woods. Right now I don't really have the time. The work I want to do is something they can do, but I know where everything runs in the house and if I can get it done before they arrive it means they...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My workout was supposed to be a base-level run but it was far harder than it had any business being. I'd been working in the basement all day replacing a rotted window frame, and I suspect spending several hours shifting and cutting wood, measuring, cutting, measuring, trimming, nailing etc...

    Trump's sexual abuse verdict

    True, I read this before I read the article about the congressman being indicted. Funny how that works. In unrelated news, the president is definitely not making oodles of cash from indirect connections to China. And his son never left his laptop with incriminating information on it, and never...

    Trump's sexual abuse verdict

    Hard to know what to think about something that allegedly happened decades ago. From what I read his comments about grabbing women were used to consider that he was capable of such a thing, which tipped the balance against him. Civil cases based on the balance of probability seem totally...

    Today's suggested workout is building my base. I'm quite OK with that, I was hoping it wasn't going to be as aggressive a pace as yesterday's effort.

    Being overweight

    There are certainly some valid reasons for people struggling but there comes a point when you have to simply say there's a degree of responsibility. Yes, there are people who aren't familiar with the concept of healthy and unhealthy food, and people who struggle to fund healthy food, and so on...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I wasn't sure if I'd get a decent run in today because the forecast was a bit iffy. It turned out nice this afternoon, so I figured I'd run while my wife tinkered with her plants. My suggested workout was a warmup followed by a threshold-level run, followed by a cool down. The threshold pace was...

    Is The Little Mermaid demonic?

    The last time I helped someone was by watching their kids so they could have a date night. The couple in question don't have a lot of money, and their kids know my wife and I, so we watched them for an evening. No demons driven out, no supernatural healings, but a couple helped out. Another...
