    Law Rejecting Federal Sovereignty

    If you push people sooner or later they push back. It's probably long overdue that federal overreach was addressed.

    Old things you no longer use

    Usually by the time I'm done with electronics nobody else would want them (I'm typing this on an Android tablet that's almost 9 years old). By the time I'm done with clothes I've usually worn through them to the point they aren't really wearable any more, so they either go in the trash or if I...

    Electric Vehicles aren't handling the cold for charging

    I'd guess (based on some knowledge of batteries and almost none of EVs specifically) that an EV would charge up OK when it warmed up although the range would be lower than during warmer weather. How much lower is another matter. I read an article a while back about a guy who tested a Mustang...

    Electric Vehicles aren't handling the cold for charging

    Riding a bicycle is always fun. Especially when it's 20 below zero with a howling wind and you've got mountains between the start and end of your journey. Two wheels are also fun when traction starts to suffer.

    Electric Vehicles aren't handling the cold for charging

    It's not just electric vehicles that can be affected. My wife's car wouldn't start at all the other day, after being outside in temperatures hovering around zero with a wind chill about 20 degrees below zero. Today it started just fine. Nothing changed, except it's not so cold outside any...

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    At what point do I cease to be responsible for his decisions? Should I literally chain him up in the hotel room he doesn't want to be in, to prevent him from sleeping outside? What if he subsequently breaks free of his chains and sleeps outside anyway? Is it my fault for not restraining him with...

    Electric Vehicles aren't handling the cold for charging

    Doesn't matter if an electric vehicle doesn't meet your needs. If the market can't produce a product good enough for you to choose it, Nanny State takes away the choice.

    Rewritten 'woke' Christmas carol

    Fitting with modern day churchianity - when it's all about me it needs to be absolutely all about me, whatever I may be.

    Should churches close Christmas Day due to low attendance?

    Is there a universal answer? I imagine the circumstances will be different for each church.

    Bad decisions

    ... and some people either don't think through consequences or don't think benefits are worth the sacrifice. A guy I worked with years ago said that if you can save $5000/month then by the end of the year you've got $60,000 which is a decent sum worth having. If you can only save $50/month then...

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    Read Genesis 2 and see the sequence: 2:7 - God formed man 2:8 - God created a garden and put the man in it 2:9 - God caused things to grow in the garden (including the forbidden tree) 2:16-17 - God told the man he could eat anything except the forbidden fruit 2:18 - God said man shouldn't be...

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    If that homeless guy decides he doesn't want to be in a nice warm hotel room, checks out and sleeps in a box under a bridge and ends up freezing to death, do I become less kind because he died?

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    Right now it's well below freezing outside where I live. Hypothetically, let's say I go into town to enjoy a bit of Christmas merriment and notice a homeless person shivering, desperately trying to stay warm despite all that Mother Nature can throw at him. I have a bit of extra cash on hand so I...

    ask permission before taking someone’s photo?

    If the kids are in a public place there's no expectation of privacy. It has been made into something a bit weird if people are taking pictures of kids but if the kids are in public and normally clothed there's not much you can actually do about it. If a child young enough to be running around...

    What was the "celebration restaurant"

    I don't know about celebration specifically but I remember a restaurant where there was a big line of seats outside. You'd take your place on the seats outside and, as people were shown to a table you'd move along the row. When you got to the end it was your turn when the next table was...

    Nurses and ambulance staff in the UK

    Nurses have been underpaid for a long time. I think there are two aspects to the problem. In the past nursing was seen more as a vocation than a profession - the sort of job people did because they cared rather than because they wanted to make a lot of money. And the result was that they...

    ask permission before taking someone’s photo?

    It would depend on the context. If you're talking about a photo where the person is a primary feature of the photo then unless you're something like a news reporter or paparazzi it seems like a basic courtesy to ask. If you're talking about a picture that happens to include a person I wouldn't...

    For those who hold to TULIP, are any of you non-elect?

    I guess posting in World Religions does invite someone who believes that there is a predetermined group called "the elect" that doesn't include them, and hence they don't bother attempting to follow God because it would be a waste of their time. It would be easy to argue that whatever else they...

    Cozonac

    The link doesn't work but the picture in the spoiler looks tasty. I don't think I've ever had that exact thing but would second Lamb's comment that it looks at least somewhat like a German stollen. I've had those, they are good.

    Western Names in the New Testament

    Interesting point. My first thought was that the name rendered "Jesus" is often quoted as Yeshua, Yashua, Yehushua etc so it's possible that actual names have been converted into a Western equivalent. That said, if that was done in the NT it would seem reasonable to ask why it wasn't also done...
