"Fear is the mind-killer." --Frank Herbert You also need enough love to be willing to be the first to fall in defense of your people. Maybe they didn't even know that the horses could be killed? They could've looked li

We are born with the corruption inside of us; we must use God's teachings of love to cleanse and purify our souls so that it becomes enlightened like the spirit.

Absolutely! And he has gone from strength to strength with each new episode. His pacing is perfect as he really takes his time but just barely touches on the intense brutality that was certainly epidemic in the times. He thus avoids the sal

One of my favorite jokes: Guy decides to go deep into Africa up the Congo River. After getting to the last easily accessible entry into the river, they board the smallish boat to begin the arduous trek deep into darkest Africa. A day or thr

I've been skipping dealing with a MS id every day for coming up on seven years now :-) and I had been (ab)using OpenBSD for a few years before that, so it's been a nice long hiatus. I do, however, miss the early F# on WinXpPro64,

Thanks, sometimes the flow's fruit is sweeter than others, less bitter medicine, and more perspectives of the all-encompassing beauty of life and love. I love Willaim Gibson & his works, ever since he gave away the first mp3s I eve

There was a 3-part BBC documentary called "My Brilliant Brain" with one that featured Susan, who was the oldest and is today one of the best live chess commentators in the world. The doc talks about her father's theory and pr

No man, I wish I had done these things when I was on Adderall. They're good for anyone, whether they're medicated or not.

I would suggest you make sure you don't have any indoor mold. Mold in an apartment caused me problems some years ago. My understanding is that outdoor/natural mold is perfectly fine for most people (including me), but molds tend t

First, alcohol should be used topically only for medical treatment. Second, getting drunk is simply the result of poisoning oneself, and that is detrimental to our body, so we should avoid it. It destroys our B vitamins and causes cancer, i

Thanks! That looks like it. I wonder what the light's spectra and intensity are. I'm guessing that its cost is prohibitive, or maybe the light's characteristics are just not so great. I'd love to be able to do some low-i

Years ago, I remember seeing that a firm was using fiber optic bundles to bring sunlight in from the roof into the inner spaces of an office building. Does anyone know anything about that?

First rule of understanding: you can never understand that which you don't want to understand. That's why lying is so destructive to both our own development and that of our societies. It doesn't matter whether it's inte

I remember seeing Kureishi's accident show up on William Gibson's twitter feed during the pandemic. He never struck me as a kind or peaceful person, thus not sympathetic, unlike the heart-filled and -oriented Mr. Gibson (who has b

Yes. I think scientists discovered within the last 10ish years that the brain has a lymphatic system at all. That kindof blew my mind, they they've only just discovered an anatomical feature of the brain? I find that kindof crazy, like

The early-to-mid-90s "High C/C++" compiler had a bug in its floating point library for basic math functions. It ended up being a bit of a Heisenbug to track down, and I didn't initially believe it wasn't my code, bu
