    Unexpected moments

    Once whilst on a sailing holiday using a chartered yacht and with three male friends (all in our twenties or thirties), we crossed from Scotland to a smallish village in Northern Ireland. On entering the nearest watering hole, as many will do, we seemingly were looked at as if we were brazen SAS...

    I can't get no, satisfaction?

    Probably for me the most satisfied I have ever felt (mentally and physically) was after climbing the Matterhorn with a friend, with perhaps another as to traversing the Cuillin Ridge on Skye, even if such was over two days due to the heat - and done a few years earlier as preparation for any...

    Humans and Our Specialty

    We often see many on RF, and usually being YEC believers and/or those accepting a literal interpretation of the Bible (or perhaps some other text), the view that humans are just so different from all other life as to support their beliefs for humans being created by God, and being separate from...

    Donating body to medicine or such?

    Any experiences or knowledge as to this, given that I am likely to be doing such in the future. No doubt this varies as to country and I live in the UK. Here it doesn't seem that straightforward - nearest facility being the main option (university or medical school), their current need for such...

    Some one-liners

    Just found out that A Tale of Two Cities was originally serialised in two local newspapers. It was The Bicester Times, it was the Worcester Times. (UK only?) Why did the chicken cross the Mobius strip? To get to the same side. My half brother and I aren’t allowed to play with chainsaws any...

    Hey, Momma!

    Last Saturday night we were dressed and ready to go out to a party. We turned on a night light, covered our pet budgie and put the cat in the garden. Because we knew we would be having a few drinks, we called a taxi. As we walked out the door the cat we had put out in the garden, scoots back...

    Mock Turtle world

    Mostly daily info input that takes my attention, and thoughts (which I record in a journal) - and edited for language and/or other considerations - whilst often excluding anything else that I don't tend to record...

    An AI forum?

    Is it worth having a dedicated AI forum - not sure where - but a few examples of some of the issues facing us (you lot) in the future: https://blog.coupler.io/artificial-intelligence-issues/ https://builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/risks-of-artificial-intelligence...

    More AI issues - with the law!

    AI is creating fake legal cases and making its way into real courtrooms, with disastrous results Not good, so can the legal system be kept clean from such fakery? :eek:

    Females and solo travel

    If there was anything that told about any country more than much else it might be this - as to females travelling alone within a country. Given that I have done much as the female in this article, although my cycling was done in probably more open countries as to freedoms and where I would never...

    Write the manual after there are enough sales?

    Seems to be what is happening with my little smartphone, but it would have been nice if they had done it at the same time as releasing it for sale, given it was my first Android phone and I do make mistakes because I still don't understand it 100%: https://devicebeast.com/manuals/cubot-pocket...

    The Rescue - documentary about the Thailand cave rescue

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rescue_(2021_film) Presumably many will have seen this but I think it hadn't been shown on UK TV until yesterday although a similar documentary was shown shortly after the incident. This seemed much more complete and giving new information - to me at least - as...

    Creating martyrs

    Perhaps we have seen such with the death of Navalny, and as to how the 'Z' symbol on the armaments sent into Ukraine by the dictator Putin will be quite symbolic and seen quite differently when Russian tanks are on their sides in defeat - so an inadvertent error:

    Dry February?

    I'm always a bit late to the gate so I missed Dry January, but there is always February - and such only being 28 days usually as opposed to 31. Well, given this is a leap year, there is always next year! o_O

    Some of my issues with Pascal's Wager

    1. Pascal seems to assume the Christian God as 'the God' in which to believe, and the doctrine to follow presumably, but of course there are other depictions of God and religions to follow. Such that one might be following the 'wrong' God throughout one's life - even as to being in conflict...

    Now there's a fit!

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00935yk I might have heard this programme at the time and forgotten about it (2005), but a listen recently was just so nice to hear someone with very much the same sentiments as myself - apart from his apparent dislike of children - him never having any...

    Wealth acquisition and distribution?

    Often gnawing at the back of my mind, especially when seeing the taxes avoided by the wealthy, what are your thoughts on this issue? https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/jan/21/how-much-personal-wealth-is-enough-ingrid-robeyns-limitarianism This is a philosophy that appeals to me more than...

    Poll: Smartphone use?

    There has been a lot of discussion over such usage, and as to this perhaps being detrimental to mental health, so apart from answering the poll, how do you view your own use of such? This in the news recently, and as to which no doubt other schools have tried something similar...

    Some issues with internet pornography

    One of my regular rants, given that times change all too quickly, and from a largely neutral perspective rather than simply being condemning - but I mostly do, given such seems to have more deficits than benefits. Some points (in three parts): 1. Not so easy to determine the ages of all...
