Thanks, Reg!!!

Have a great week!

“And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.” (read the comments too).

I wonder what survivors of 9/11 have to say about all this?

That was one of my first thoughts today when I heard the rambling speech he made.  I also thought about what the family of the WaPo journalist Jamal Khashoggi must be thinking. Of course Trump would not mention that. He does not care about what happened him. Or maybe he really does…[Read more]

Taliban suspends chess over gambling concerns.

Why don’t Pentecostals have sex standing up?

Because someone might see them and think they were dancing.

@Enco – Here is some evidence. No, it is not photo-shopped 🙂

I think Wokeism started off with good ideas as a progressive ideology.  It was well intentioned, as were the people that got onboard with it. It aspired to combat all forms of discrimination. But I think (just my opinion) that Jewish concerns have been sidelined because there is a “cultural zeitgeist” (my term) that views Jews as part of the priv…[Read more]

Thanks Reg!

Have a great week!!

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

“There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”

Thanks Robert….I am not very knowledgeable about this area but I did discuss it last week with a engineer, recently returning from this project with a lot of cash!! 🙂

While I am not an electrical engineer, I had a discussion with one recently. Yes, traditional AC power from big turbines have a reserve of kinetic energy from the rotation of their turbines. Their spinning mass can resist any sudden frequency changes for a short time and this gives the grid inertia that stabilizes the frequency and gives control…[Read more]

@Simon – He who is without sin shall cast the first stone…

Pope Bob, being a Catholic and with his degree in math, has SIN nailed down. Not sure what he is like with COS and TAN though.

✨ PAPAL BULL OF ABSOLUTION ✨
By the Supreme Pontificate of Pope Bob, Servant of the Servants of God, Vicar of Christ, Keeper of the Keys, and Occasional User of Spreadsheet Macros

To Whom It May Concern (Especially you Reg):

Be it known throughout the heavens, the earth, and all diocesan finance committees that:

Enco, yes Catholic theology is a carbuncle on the back of reason.

In the grand hermeneutical enterprise of Catholic eschatology, the eschaton emerges as the ultimate telos of salvific history—a culmination wherein temporality is subsumed into the eternal nunc stans of the Divine ipsum esse subsistens. At this cosmological denouement, the resurrect…[Read more]

I agree with Bob. Atheism is practical 🙂

I found it a difficult read as theological word salad makes me despair for humanity 🙂 Such utter nonsense from someone of the same species.

Pope Love XI got nothing on John XII who is one of my favs. No.6 on this list. Like many of our finest, he died at age 27 too.

I think I will just call him ‘Bob’. His friends call him that and it was also the name I baptized my neighbors goldfish with in the hour before it died.. He is all about Charity, which will be given in the form of pray and platitudes.

So does this mean Pope Leo XIV will treat the Laity as numbers?

No, he sees them as sheep and then he counts them 🙂

Now that The Cuddly One is gone, I guess that Pope Love XI will be more of the same…..
