    Out-of-business shopping malls

    I guess a lot depends on who legally owns the property. A problem with malls is what else to do with the buildings. Something designed to host a small number of huge retail outlets and a larger number of small outlets doesn't obviously lend itself to much else. When one of the flagship stores...

    UK monarchy

    Even more so, how many people would tune in the funeral of Donald Trump or Joe Biden? I read an interesting comment about the Queen's funeral, that noted every single one of the world dignitaries there must have watched the funeral knowing very well that when their time came their funeral would...

    The more you think about it

    We nominally rule ourselves but however we vote the end result looks much the same. The government that notionally represents the people generally doesn't do a very good job at representing the people. It's said that we get the best government money can buy, which is great if you're the one with...

    UK monarchy

    The cost of the monarchy isn't actually as much as you might think. Some years ago in a discussion I worked out that a year's budget for the Civil List was about 12 minutes worth of the national welfare budget. I think the monarchy is much better value, put in those terms. Admittedly there are...

    Do you listen to Christian Radio?

    I haven't encountered those, although based on the drivel that passes for music in so many cases I can only imagine the theological garbage being pumped out.

    The more you think about it

    Why the masses don't band together and collectively overthrow the largely self-appointed ruling classes.

    Do you listen to Christian Radio?

    I've tolerated (barely) short amounts of Christian radio when travelling as a passenger in someone else's car. Truth be told so much of what passes for Christian music these days is so repetitive and so theologically empty, if not outright toxic, that the people singing it might as well be...

    NIV, NLT, CSB or ESV

    Sure, I get that women are more interested in pretty things than men are. I'm just not sure the extent that people would read, or not read, a book like the Bible based on how physically attractive it is. If you had a pretty hairbrush that you loved and a plain hairbrush at the back of a drawer...

    NIV, NLT, CSB or ESV

    I've never heard of them before. A very quick Google search gave me the impression they are about encouraging people to read the Bible by creating beautiful Bibles. I may be cynical about this but it gave me the impression they were more about creating a pretty book than about encouraging people...

    You get three toppings

    Cheese, bacon, and then I'd have to choose between a fried egg, pineapple or mushrooms.

    In the 1980s

    More open stores than boarded up stores?

    Would you rather…

    I don't have kids so there's not such a concern about inheritance. The main thing isn't so much to be sure I'll spend it all before I die as to have a better idea of how fast I can burn through savings, accepting that there may be some left over that I can leave to causes I care about. The idea...

    Would you rather…

    Another thought, especially for people who are retired and living on a combination of retirement income and nest egg. It would be nice to know whether the nest egg has to last 5 years or 35 years. Even down to simple considerations - if I knew I had 6 years left and my wife had 28 years left I...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Now it's getting cooler I'm getting a lot more running in. As well as slowly pushing the pace up on my five mile route I want to get back to running my longer routes. It seems like it would be good to push the pace over the same distance as well as pushing the distance at a comparable pace...

    Would you rather…

    Probably the date. At least that way I could be prepared and make sure people left behind were as prepared as they could be. Knowing the cause could be useful in that I might be able to take steps to prevent or postpone it but if it was something vague like being involved in a car crash or...

    Favorite spicy food

    I like most things that are spicy. Thai curries, Indian curries, pizza with hot peppers on it, pizza with hot sauce on it, pasta with hot sauce on it, fiery snacks, whatever. Years ago I left some Thai birdeye peppers to steep in a jar of vodka for several weeks. That produced a pretty fiery...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    What is God supposed to do except punish sin? What difference does it make? Your first example shows God sending someone to bear the punishment so we don't have to. The second one shows God sending someone to heal us so that we don't have to be punished. The end result is the same - we don't...

    NIV, NLT, CSB or ESV

    A lot will depend on exactly what you want. My understanding, which is at least somewhat backed by experience of reading the English (I'm not familiar enough with Greek or Hebrew to determine for myself which translation is the most accurate) is that the NLT tends to be worded in more of an...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    Sometimes differences really don't matter all that much. There's room to believe all sorts of different things, especially when there are so many things that really don't matter. In some areas Scripture is clear that we must do something (e.g. love God and love each other). In other areas...

    Yes, but they get pretty cold in the winter time :)
