    Well, yes, but at risk of invoking Godwin's Law we could also say that Hitler lived according to what he believed and quite a lot of Jews paid a very heavy price for that. Even then the number of Jews pales into insignificance compared to the number of unborn who have been denied a chance at...

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

    I think I've figured how to get power to my porch lights. What I've done so far is run a piece of 14/2 from the switch that fed one light, and cut off the wire that fed the other light. The idea is that two 3-way switches will control both lights. But recently we decided we wanted a ceiling fan...

    Water

    When I get my plumbing rejigged I plan to create multiple water feeds. There will be one hot water feed and cold will be split into filtered and unfiltered. There's no need to filter the water for the outside taps, the toilets etc but the sinks will have drinking water. I may yet put a reverse...

    The way you said it wasn't a baby in some cases came across as some kind of Schrodinger's Human, in which the clump of cells is some kind of human-not-human hybrid depending on whether the mother believed it to be a baby or not. In fairness the law is bizarre on that front, allowing a woman to...

    Had dinner with a couple of friends who are leaving the area soon. We're sad to see them go and wanted to get in a visit before they leave.

    Are you seriously saying that reality is nothing more than what someone else believes it to be? If I consider my annoying neighbor to be "not human" can I just go ahead and kill him? It won't be murder, right? I'll probably kill my annoying neighbor sooner or later anyway, so why not just make...

    What do you think is the ratio of life?

    That's a far more polite way of putting what I was thinking....

    What do you think is the ratio of life?

    42. I thought everybody knew that.

    Forced Birth

    We don't need a coroner to investigate each and every miscarriage any more than we need a coroner to investigate each and every death currently. There are questions to be raised about the point at which the thing in the womb becomes a human. As you say a number of fertilized eggs fail to...

    Er, no. The opposite of taking a life out of the world is not taking a life out of the world.

    ... and the law that classifies killing a pregnant woman as a double homicide (i.e. the baby counts as a life) while simultaneously allowing the mother to kill the baby at will (i.e. the baby doesn't count as a life). Perhaps the fetus should be called Schrodinger's Human. It would be laughable...

    Easy day today. Church in the morning and then lunch. In the afternoon I took a gentle walk with my wife - my legs didn't want to race after the last few days. Then I spent some time figuring out how to run a cable into the cavity above my porch so I can fit a ceiling fan, while causing as...

    My wife wanted to do some cleaning today so I took the chance to go for a run. My legs were a bit sore at first as I did a long walk yesterday but soon got into the groove. Overall no speed records but I did shave a couple of seconds off my fastest mile. My pace charts are getting better, not so...

    Forced Birth

    I think the key issue is responsibility for the consequences of decisions. As has been said above, it's unlikely that very many people who are physically capable of becoming a parent don't know how reproduction works. So if you consent to sex you consent to a process that might make a baby, even...

    I went for a walk with my wife. All the streams and creeks are way higher than I've ever seen them before but there's minimal evidence of flooding. The levels were higher last night, and I imagine a few people living near the creeks without being higher had water in their basements.

    It looks like several places where roads cross the local creeks flooded last night. Not sure what the state is right now might take the car out to check the crossings before going for a walk. Since it's cooler I may go for a run instead - it's not so much fun running when it's hot.

    Lots of rain today. So far it looks like the work I did yesterday has made a big difference although it's not perfect. I didn't expect it to be perfect, given I'm dealing with a wooden window and a wooden window frame that are both 90+ years old. But instead of a puddle in the basement I have a...

    Woah, slow your roll there a bit.... I'm simply responding to your comments about measuring inductance and capacitance. From what you're saying now it sounds like there's way more to it than measuring capacitance. How often would you expect to add more water? From the perspective of a layman...
