    The dead malls

    I'm increasingly inclined to agree. I can't help wondering whether part of the problem is that the kind of small businesses that might breathe life back into malls are going to be turned away by requirements to be open for extended hours. And of course small businesses simply can't fill the kind...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Got a short run in yesterday which was a battle because it was warm again. I could get away with a shorter run because I went for a walk in the mountains earlier. Today I did another 10k but didn't manage to keep the speed down as much as I had hoped. At present I'm really trying to focus on...

    Rev. Calvin Robinson

    Irrelevant comparison. You might as well say some who call themselves Christians are pedophiles therefore Christanity must be false.

    Rev. Calvin Robinson

    It can be tricky picking apart which bits of the Bible we want to follow and which bits we don't. A lot of people on the more liberal side of things offer little more than a lot of hand-wringing and generic claims that "love is love" and the like. A lot of people on the more conservative side...

    Owned since you were a child

    I still have a simple music box that I've had since I was 5 and maybe younger still. It still works, kind of. I've got a couple of the soft toys I had as a very small child but I'm not sure where they all are. In a box in the attic, most likely.

    Our interaction with AI seems to debunk Biblical ideas

    Only if you require "omnibenevolence" to be exactly what you think it should be. As a child I wanted to use the big knife my parents used in the kitchen. They wouldn't let me despite me promising to be careful with it. They knew the risks, my child's mind didn't understand the risks. Of course...

    Omnibenevolence and the problem of evil

    Perhaps, but does the theoretical observation that someone could have done it a certian way obligate them to do it that way? Particularly when there may be a purpose in doing it the way that did it. What are you trying to prove here? To be honest what I'm seeing is an acceptance that there...

    Our interaction with AI seems to debunk Biblical ideas

    The part I bolded in your quote goes back to your other post. If we assume we know best then the things that don't make sense to us don't make sense period. If we don't assume we know best we can accept there may be more to the picture than we can see right now. Some of these arguments do...

    Omnibenevolence and the problem of evil

    Not at all. You're still coming at this from the assumption that we know everything. Your original post rests entirely on the premise that because we can't see a purpose in something it therefore follows that no such purpose exists. In general analogies can never be a perfect explanation...

    How did your parents meet?

    I have no idea, it was before I was born :)

    Omnibenevolence and the problem of evil

    One problem you have here is this idea that God's benevolence is inferior to human benevolence. The fact something is different doesn't inherently require it to be inferior. We have a tendency to think we've got everything worked out but it's entirely plauslble that there is some bigger picture...

    Advice about my wife

    It seems you have a few things going on here and some of them are more about coming to an agreement with your wife than us giving you a list of Things You Should Do. A few things I noticed in what you said. Firstly, going to church to "show others.... that (you) are united". It's good to go to...

    You built or put together

    Yesterday afternoon I framed a stud wall. I had my wife help me hold the top bar against the ceiling so I could screw it in place without it moving, then built the rest of it over the course of an hour or so. The bottom bar across the floor is easy - I can stand on that to stop it moving. Then...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    With a brand new battery it still glitched. I did some research into it and wonder if I need to moisten it more, or check the position I'm wearing it. It's weird, it works just fine for the first mile or so and then tells me my pulse went from 148 to 186 in the space of 20 seconds. Anyway...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    For anything that matters I usually go for branded batteries, for that very reason. If it's something like a battery powered tealight that takes a coin cell I'll go for the ones from the dollar stores, because the tealights are the kind of thing that come from the dollar store so there's no...

    The worst service

    One other place that gave appalling service but subsequently made amends. A pub a couple of miles from where I lived at the time. Nice riverside location, it looked like a nice place to eat. So we went in, found a table (they were quite busy), sat down and waited. And waited, and waited, and...

    The worst service

    I think the worst service I received was at a hotel restaurant in Washington DC. The waitress couldn't have been less interested in serving my wife and I - she practically dumped our food in our laps and was gone before we had chance to ask for something else. She wasn't around to refill glasses...

    Stardust and LCMS

    A lot of things are presented as if they were factual when they are at least somewhat speculative or even metaphorical. If you want to reconcile science with Scripture, what is stardust? Can anyone define it? Does the idea that "we are made of stardust" conflict with "God made man from the dust...

    I'll have to take a look to see if I still have the thn rubber inserts to put into watch backs when replacing the batteries. If I can find them and still have my silicone grease maybe I can reseal it. It can't harm anything I guess. Annoyingly I was at the hardware store yesterday and forgot to...
