    Porch Pirates

    If you have porch pirates in your area it makes it easy to get rid of trash or other undesirable stuff. Empty your cat's special box into an old Amazon box, tape it up and leave it on the porch. If you can find some roadkill that works too.

    Separate bedrooms

    I think what married couples do in their bedroom/s is none of anyone else's business. If sleeping in one bed, or two beds in one room, or two beds in two rooms, works for them they get to make that decision.

    School vaccine mandates

    A fundamental issue with vaccination is the question of who benefits and who pays. I don't believe that most vaccines are inherently unsafe. However the risk of injecting something into the body is non-zero, even if it is very small. If society wants the societal benefits of herd immunity I...

    Your religious beliefs

    Curious, it looks like there are further uses of the word I hadn't come across before. Apparently Catholic (capital C) can also be used to refer to things "pertaining to the Western church". On that basis it seems just about any church could call itself Catholic.

    Your religious beliefs

    Just a small nitpick here (and it may be a typo) but the Church of England isn't a Catholic (capital C) church. If you meant to say catholic with a lower case c then you'd be right - it is the "official" church, to the extent that such a concept is relevant. The monarch is the head of the Church...

    Religion and politics

    I try to remember the line that relates to much discussion about politics and religion. Opinions are like a certain unmentionable body part. Everybody has one, most of them stink and it's usually best that they aren't aired in public.

    Flaming on Christianity Haven

    Seriously? If you really think a situation on an internet forum is so bad that outsiders need to get involved you always have the option of posting on a different forum.

    How much snow so far?

    We were braced for bitter cold, blizzards, ice storms, you name it. What we got was barely an inch of snow, maybe slightly less. There were still a clutch of accidents - it seems every year there's a bunch of knuckleheads who think that "speed limit 60" signs trump the basic laws of physics and...

    Fell a tree?

    I managed to cut down a tree by accident once. Technically I uprooted it rather than cut it down - it was about two inches tall and I caught it in some garden tools not noticing it was there. I took a couple of conifers out of my back yard some years ago. I cut the branches off and fed them to...

    Tuna

    It depends on what I'm doing with the tuna. In a sandwich either a tiny amount of mayonnaise - just enough to stick it together - or finely chopped onion with salt and pepper. In a sushi roll a decent slug of sriracha sauce. In the form of a tuna steak, maybe a fine dusting of pepper and...

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    I can see situations developing that require a response right now, rather than even tomorrow when Congress has had chance to meet and discuss. That said an emergency declaration (which is perhaps a better name for an executive order) should be time-limited to a few days at most. If for some...

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    I get the impression people defend the executive order on the basis that if an emergency exists it's easier to sign an order than argue with a recalcitrant opposition party about how to respond to the emergency. Which is all well and good, but one would have to ask just what kind of emergency...

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

    I need to finish off some computer work and get busy installing this mountain of vinyl I ordered. I've been a bit sidetracked lately finding and fixing drafts. I nailed a couple of nasty ones. It's surprising I still have any drafts at all by now but every once in a while I find one that escaped...

    It would be good to do away with them completely.

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    This is an area where it seems both sides are equally bad. If my party obstructs your party then they are just doing their job of holding the ruling party accountable. If your party obstructs my party then they are obstructing the elected ruling party and should be overruled by executive action...

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    The thing is that Newsom is demonstrably above the law. It's a curious thing about the way the US works. The British were kicked out 200+ years ago because the people didn't want a king to have that much power. Now you have a president who issues executive orders and state governors who issue...

    USA Biden signs gay marriage law

    As far as the concept of a secular government allowing two people to enter into a secular arrangement that comes with secular benefits and obligations there is no reason to restrict it to two people. Whether the people involved have a sexual relationship or not is largely irrelevant. Whether...

    Jesus born at thy birth

    Most people are born at their birth. I think the actual line is "Jesus, Lord, at thy birth".

    USA The death penalty is 'immoral'

    My primary concern with the death penalty is that there's no going back if the person subsequently turns out to be innocent. If the focus is more about getting a prosecution and locking someone up than about locking the guilty person up, and the unimaginable costs involved in mounting appeals...

    USA Biden signs gay marriage law

    If the state would get out of our business there would be less need for this sort of thing. As it stands the term "marriage" can mean two things. One is the relationship entered into before whatever god/s (if any) the two people worship. The other is a secular construct recognised by the state...
