I caught the new Dune teaser a few hours ago, which made my jaw drop a bit in surprise. Of course, being a teaser, it was damned confusing, too (and part of me wonders how much they paid Pink Floyd for that interesting slow cover of "Eclipse"). That trailer prompted me to take out the … Continue reading Q#147: Question for the Dune fans out there–is it worth it to read the other books?…
I admit, I don't really go for the Woo anymore. I used to get rocks and cool crystals and stuff when I was a kid, and like many an X-Files fan (the Mulder years, anyway), I considered or subscribed to conspiracy theories or the supernatural or paranormal and what was possible or impossible. However, I … Continue reading When emotions have become too damned much in a short time: an empath searches for sanity.
(photo from nymag.com) This has been bugging me for the past 24 hours. I mean--what the hell was THAT? Now, I admit, I'm no longer religious. The more I read the Bible, the angrier I get. I can't stand church and what it's become over the years for a lot of denominations and their followers. … Continue reading Blitz Q #133: What was the point of that Trump at Church photo op?
I don't really understand the statement, "Covid-19 is a hoax" that people are putting on Facebook, Twitter, protest signs the past few weeks. Um, Covid-19 exists. Over 80,000 people have died from it and hundreds of thousands are carriers of it. It's been around and about all over the world. So, how is Covid-19 a … Continue reading Q #132: What do the protesters saying “Covid-19 is a hoax” mean? (& other q’s about all this…)
Every time I hit the quarter mark, I try to compile the lists in case you're wondering (like I often do) the weird places my noggin likes to take me. Also, considering this odd virus situation we're all dealing with in some way, maybe this'll be a silly little distraction. So, to make this easy, … Continue reading Questions I’ve had: the “mile & a quarter” — #101 – 125.
I talked to my mom this morning after debating with myself for 20 minutes on whether or not I should (not a promising sign). I was worried she was gonna be one of those hoaxers or conspiracy theorists about the whole virus deal. Well, only took three minutes to get into it, and thankfully only … Continue reading Q #125: Lies, damned lies, & statistics; or, Coronavirus versus other modern contagions.
My Copy: 9780140445145 (image from genius.com) I'll admit, I couldn't finish it, and stopped at page 100. I could barely get into the book, tried to read the introduction twice, and then tried to pick it up and get a few chapters in on 10 or more occasions in the past month. I've never read … Continue reading “Twilight of the Idols” and “The Antichrist”, by Friedrich Nietzsche
I bring this up because somehow I've never had this point come up with my parents: regarding when I'd want to have kids, how many, or what I think it would be like. It occurred to me after this weekend that they'd never asked, either. That's where I think the weekend with mom really went … Continue reading #108– When & how often do parents usually start the “when are you going to have kids?” discussion?
My Copy: 9780825429309 (image from bn.com) It's not a long read. Not at all. And the title pretty much speaks for itself regarding what the book is about: answering the question of the prosperity gospel as compared to the Bible's teachings. It's not an exhaustive bit of research (A Different Gospel started that one about … Continue reading Health, Wealth & Happiness: Has the Prosperity Gospel Overshadowed the Gospel of Christ?, by D.W. Jones & R. S. Woodbridge
I'd been wondering about this weirdness for a while, and not just laptops, but other computer systems. Apparently, from what I've managed to find so far. they're adapters that help convert voltage and not put too much power into the hardware too fast. Okay, but at the same time, why does it seem to come … Continue reading #101 Blitz Q: What’s the boxy-thing in the middle of a laptop power cord for?
