    Last treat you gave yourself

    The list of things my old Android tablet doesn't support any more is growing, so I decided to splurge and replace it. It kinda grates because it still works, even if the battery isn't great any more. But it dates back to February of 2014, doesn't support anything newer than Android 5, and has...

    Still Struggling

    Is it truly necessary to believe in every single thing that your church believes in? If you believe the same core things, do a few peripheral things make a big difference? If the church requires that you believe in creationism and you don't then that could be an issue, but if they don't require...

    USA Bill To Ban Child Marriage

    This is the sort of thing where "age of consent" laws end up creating all sorts of stupid situations. The US has such an obsession with people drinking before they are 21, and yet allows people to get married at 18, join the armed forces at 18 and so on. So you're responsible enough to lay down...

    Printer

    I have an HP477fdw. It's a wireless, full color, full duplex laser printer/scanner/copier. I bought it 7-8 years ago. The ink is expensive but I don't use it enough to be concerned about it. It's great - I can print wirelessly from any device in my house and can scan directly to my laptop. You...

    Why the Floppy Disk Just Won’t Die

    The soft-sided 5 1/4" floppies were actually quite flexible. The full-size 8" floppies sometimes needed two hands to put them into a drive. I remember the days of having a total capacity of 140kb on a floppy, and a second drive being a luxury.

    Summoned for jury duty

    My experience is that the entire system acts as if every second of the court's time is priceless and the juror's time is worthless. I turned up, registered my presence, and then sat reading a book for hours before I was called. I heard one case that ran for a week, then another one that was...

    Why the Floppy Disk Just Won’t Die

    I held onto floppy drives for a long time. Being the techie guy that people would often come to for help it was handy to be able to handle older media formats. It's been so long since I've needed to use a floppy disk that my laptop (12 years old) doesn't have a floppy drive. My desktop...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yesterday was a bit busy and a bit windy so didn't really have a big enough window to get hot and sweaty running, so went for a walk instead. Today the weather was nice, if a little breezy, so I figured I'd run again. Tomorrow it's supposed to be cold again, and I didn't want to miss the last...

    BBQ grill

    I've got a gas grill out in the garage. A couple of friends gave it to us when their parents gave them a new one. It's been sitting there for five years and we never used it. Where we used to live we had a charcoal grill. Having got used to cooking on charcoal (which comes with its own...

    Small Claims Court?

    I can see an argument based on Paul's comments to the Corinthians about not settling disagreements within the church using the courts but it does rather require that both sides are serious about coming to a resolution. In general it seems reasonable, church or no church, to try and resolve...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Two runs in two days. Both times I was trying to keep my speed down a little, with varying levels of success. It's surprisingly hard to slow down when what I naturally want to do is pace faster. Yesterday my suggested workout was a sort of interval routine. Not particularly high intensity...

    Adopting Native American babies

    Bad white people. Nasty white people. If we give a kid a chance we're bad white people for taking them away from their community. If we don't give a kid a chance we're bad white people for not supporting the community. Remember - white people are bad. That's all you need to know.

    Dog/cat doors

    I wouldn't have animal doors in exterior doors at all, for that very reason. Aside from the potential security risk the last thing I want to do is wake up one morning to find I have to chase a skunk out of the house or something.

    Calling Jesus "My Love"

    Hard to say without the context of it. My first thought was that it falls into the idea of Jesus being a homeboy/boyfriend figure, which for me is an early warning of a song that's probably theological garbage. But as Albion said we are told to love God, so if the rest of the lyrics focus more...

    Free education

    Yes, I think we're mostly on a similar page, I'm curious to see how you'd see regulation working so the system works, rather than falling one way where it just hands out endless money to anyone who asks, or falling the other way where there are so many hoops to jump through it might as well not...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    If there are some who are "unelect" and can therefore never be saved, how can we have any assurance of salvation? For all we know we might be the tares who will be separated out and thrown into the fire. As you say, the atonement isn't doing any limiting - to use the bridge analogy from the...

    Transgender athlete wins discrimination case

    The 10,000 steps myth

    It seems like one of many things that can be a good guide but a bad master. The problem with any one-size-fits-all approach is that one size very seldom fits all. Is the idea to count the number of times one foot moves ahead of the other, or to encourage more movement? There's a loop I walk...

    Curious scores. So if someone posts "my dog died" a "pray" response gets a point but a "sad" response does not.
