I've used the same frames for so long I don't remember when i got them. 10-20 years, I guess. I look at the offerings each time, but these have larger lenses than any I've seen other than aviator.

Only God is perfect.

Some cultures intentionally put a mistake in their art, to remind them of that, or to not attempt to be something only God(s) can be. That feels presumptuous. Having to intentionally put in a mistake implies that you might not make one otherwise.

From there, it's easy for parishioners to see which candidates have similar values. That can be very helpful for positions that don't have party banners as a shortcut to researching individual candidates.

Slippery slope. I don't mind churches sharing information about candidates if they keep it factual, such as work and activity history, voting history (if in public office), what other candidates they support or are supported by, and their major donors. ...

Your Council has to send out bags? Here in Ontario it's a mix. Some areas send free tags, not bags, with your tax bill, and you can order more online. Others their bags in stores, beside the other bin bags, for us to buy. Others tell us the size and color of bin, and they'll take one a week.

It's a lot easier to get the next in a series by clicking a few times than it is to go to the library or store for it.

There are pros and cons to this. Mostly cons, according to the state of the housework.

Sounds like if you're not good at dealing with the firehose, and all the other techniques they use, then it usually does more harm than good. We end up looking like the ones who don't believe the evidence, because we don't have enough to counter the spew.
If you're good at it? Then do it!

That looks, and probably smells, so much nicer than the mink oil I grew up with (and left too much on the boots over the summer).

God, in His wisdom, made the Void so we would have something to scream into.

Other tools: Better Sleep Class by Kathy Sommers. Goes through lots of myths, sleep diary. Now online. I took it in person. By the end, many of us reported, "Was so frustrated I finally tried the method that sounded terrible. It worked."

General good habit learned in first aid class: Always put at least a few layers of cloth between you and heat or cold.

No heating pads (here in Ontario) are rated for sitting or lying on. Heat + pressure + time = permanent nerve damage. This is for low temperature heating pads.

Neural nets are different, and usually pretty good. Eg Group of cells with cancer. Group without. Look the same to the untrained eye. Neural net looks for patterns, often finds real patterns that human experts didn't think of.
