    2023 food shortages

    Nothing particular so far. Egg prices are way down on what they have been, even if off their recent lows. We recently stocked up on chicken because we found a couple of family packs that were 50% off. They were short-dated but that's OK - we can divide the big packs into smaller packs and they...

    How is this fair????

    True, although equality can also mean multiple things. Pushing towards equality of opportunity is a good thing but equality of outcome is a bad thing. There's already plenty of wiggle room. Years ago a friend of mine attended an evening class. The class was constantly disrupted by a particular...

    How is this fair????

    I suspect it relates to the way equity can be taken to mean something that is more useful than equality, but can also be taken to mean tipping the scales in any way considered necessary to achieve the desired results. It's hard to argue against the "equity, in theory" of the meme I posted...

    How is this fair????

    True - equity can mean something very good and it can also mean forcing equality by dragging everybody down to the same standard of misery. If we can't get the bottom people higher we'll just drag down those at the top and call it fairness. Except we won't drag down the ones at the top, we'll...

    Christianity and capitalism

    The crucial matter there is the free choice. Capitalism gives that free choice in ways that many other systems do not. It's my field. When I sell it the money is mine. I may choose to share some or all of that money with others.

    Christianity and capitalism

    How is it a rejection of capitalism? If you look at the case of Ananias and Sapphira the text is very clear - the land was theirs to do with as they chose, and the proceeds from selling it were theirs to do with as they chose. It wouldn't have been a problem if they had withheld some or all of...

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

    Filling up more trash bags. Today's effort was four bags of cellulose and a contractor bag of general debris. That's on top of the six bags of plaster from the weekend's efforts. I also have a decent pile of laths to burn. My friend who often takes them doesn't need firewood, probably because...

    TV buttons??

    Because they care about the environment. They care so much that if you lose the remote you can be held at their mercy, and if they decided not to offer the remote any more you get to throw out a perfectly good TV and buy another one. Of course the smallest TV you can get now is the size of...

    Caffeine Alternatives

    Things I know of that give a boost of energy that aren't caffeine are either prescription-only or outright illegal. I assume they work because people use them but can't comment from experience. I've heard that things like ginseng and guarana help but I never tried them so can't comment if they...

    In Canada, fraud schemes are targeting homeowners

    Chances are it isn't legally sold, unless the fraudsters have somehow gained control of the deeds. The trouble is if you get back to your house and find another family living in it, who think they bought it and own it, they aren't going to just pack up and leave without a fight. In the meantime...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    The weather this week isn't looking great so I went for a run today. I had originally thought to do a 10k loop but then noticed I needed 7.3 miles of running to finish a monthly challenge, so went for my 8-mile loop instead. It makes a nice change - the 10k loop covers the same ground in a few...

    Compassionate release law

    I'll assume it's a typo that says "nearly 40 years" since his 1994 conviction. I guess there comes a point when keeping someone locked up offers no further punishment to them and no further protection for society. If the purpose is to protect society and he continues to be a danger, keep him...

    Mental competency tests

    In principle it makes sense but why an age of 75? Most people expect to retire long before then and yet someone a full decade and more after the normal retirement age leading the entire nation doesn't raise any questions at all? As Albion said the newly elected PA Senator, John Fetterman, was...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My tracker software has monthly challenges, so today I rose to one of the challenges and did a 15k run. I'd originally planned a 10k but it was warm and the wind wasn't as bad as the forecast said so I rerouted to a different loop to get the extra distance. Then my wife wanted to go for a walk...
