    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Hiking with my friend. He runs the trails but I'm not sure how well I'd do running on hills like that. I suspect not very well.... It was a good hike. Curiously my tracker rates it as significantly less intense exercise than walking around town. I'm not sure why - the second half is downhill...

    You make sure to never run out of

    Interesting, I never thought of natural gas powering a generator. I've always thought of them as running on gasoline or diesel, and therefore needing a supply of that on hand. What sort of power output does your generator offer? Part of my concern with a generator is that the power goes out...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Harder run today. I did the same distance but my suggested workout was basically repeats at a faster pace. The first speed repeat was easy because it was on a gentle downhill section. The second one was on the worst section it could have been - almost the entire fast section was uphill. I...

    You should have hired a professional

    I don't think I've ever really regretted not having someone in to do a job. I can do most things around the house and have learned a lot since I started my renovation project, which means I can do more than I could before. I think I'm pretty good at figuring when something is far enough above my...

    In the kitchen

    What I use most in the kitchen is the fridge. It keeps snacks and beer cold. The next thing I use most often is probably the coffee grinder. What my wife uses the most is a deep frying pan I got for her. She cooks so many things in that pan I wonder why we even have other pans at times.

    You make sure to never run out of

    9 days is a fair while without power. I was meaning how long it would run before the fuel runs dry - if you have a widespread power outage and can't get more fuel the generator doesn't help you if it was only designed to tide you over for a few hours. We have friends who own a farm and if I...

    Is it the responsibility of the child

    I'm not sure that's a decision any of us can make for someone else. I've known people who were very infirm who seemed at peace, and I've known others (including family members) who made the decision to stop treatment for their conditions because they decided what they had wasn't a life worth...

    Is it the responsibility of the child

    You make some valid points about the medical profession and their cash cows but I have to ask about "all you're doing is making life miserable for your family". Are you so miserable about having older relatives still alive? Maybe there are times that the best option is to accept someone is at...

    Is it the responsibility of the child

    That's a very good point, although obviously it assumes that the elderly person wants to be looked after by their younger relatives. In the case of my late great-uncle he didn't want that at all - he wanted to stay in the area he knew and loved. He had other relatives who were closer in terms of...

    what would have happened?

    That would depend on whether eating from the tree of life is a "one and done" or needs to be ongoing. I suppose either is possible, although if it's the latter then your second question goes away. As to the first question, who knows? Maybe Eve would have died and Adam would have lost another rib...

    How long will your generator maintain power to your house?

    Smartwatches

    It depends how you define "worth it". My wife has a basic one. It tracks her steps, pulse, activities etc, and the software also lets her monitor everything from her water intake to her monthly cycle. Obviously she decides how much information to give it. I have a more advanced model because I...

    When you see a homeless person,

    The trouble is you can never know. It might be someone whose live just took a catastrophic turn, it might be someone who made some bad decisions and paid the price, it might be someone who just feels like begging because it pays better than any job they might find.

    Is it the responsibility of the child

    He was mentally sharp pretty much until the end, he just refused to leave the area he loved. I'm sure some people can provide comprehensive care to older relatives but I think the attitude that the children need to do it, whatever it takes, is overly simplistic to the point of being insulting...

    Life before the internet

    Talking to people at the pub, when people weren't on their phones all the time. It's truly depressing how many times I see groups at the pub or restaurant, and everybody is on their phones. It's even more depressing when I see a couple doing it. Why bother going out with friends if you're just...

    Magic tricks with an interesting twist at the end

    This reminds me of the joke about the magician on a cruise ship. He inherited a parrot from the previous performer and soon grew to hate it. During his act the parrot would keep squawking, saying "the card's up his sleeve", "the rabbit is in the hat" and so on. But because of the history he...

    When you see a homeless person,

    I haven't found a way to differentiate between the person who is begging as a lifestyle choice and the person who is begging out of desperation. I've seen enough examples of the former that I tend to be less inclined to give to random people on the street, so usually I don't think much about a...

    Could Someone Explain?

    Very true. The concept of "live and let live" runs both ways.

    Is it the responsibility of the child

    This reminds me of my late great-uncle who was very dear to me. When he was old and infirm my parents tried to take him in so we could look after him but he didn't want to leave the area he lived. It was five hours drive on a good day, so looking after him there wasn't an option.

    Could Someone Explain?

    It's hardly surprising that the people who think we are wrong are against what we believe. A man who is attracted to other men is unlikely to see his attraction as being inherently sinful. Honestly, there are times when much of the church seems to take a stance that's little more than wishing...
