Son in previous years has given me a classroom demonstration Stirling heat engine, a 3D printed detailed model radial aircraft engine, a Raspberry Pi, and a R/C quadcopter, none of which anyone else in my peer group has (or would likely know what to do with). So, I've got to find something appropriately weird and techie for him.

People seem to think that major news agencies can just make shit up, journalistic integrity is a real thing and they will get major shit for getting things wrong, regardless of political affiliation. That said they can choose what to report on and when but it's not like some wasteland of disinformation, we the consumer are held to at least some standard, and screeching "fake news!" does nothing to help.

The very best "journalistic integrity" is the end product of a long version of the party game "Telephone", where what a source thinks is happening is filtered through what a reporter thinks the source said, further modified by an editor or director, maybe a few more writers who interpret in their own way, before it ever gets read by a talking-head commentator.

Anyone who has ever been interviewed for the news knows that what is printed in the paper or shown on TV has very little in common with what was actually said.

especially when you start to age, you want time to slow down.

if for some bizarre reason you *couldn't wait* to turn 50,
another way to say it is, having too much time makes it slower, and having too little makes it faster. when you're a kid you have nothing to do; when you're an adult you have too much to do.

I'd agree with only one of three points, and I'd guess I'm older than most on these forums.

I look forward to every day, always new stuff (or recaps of old stuff) to enjoy.

I'm 71, and I have to say my second half-century so far is much better than the first. Maybe I should hush, my peers agree, but that seems to be a well-kept secret.

I don't know about too much to do. Since I'm retired, I can choose worthwhile things to do. A little wrenching at the garage next door helping folks with their cars, a little teaching at the university, a little golf, martial arts tournaments, cooking, flying lessons, video games, movies and music, woodworking, gardening, sewing, shopping, family and friends. Time never drags, and first-of-the-month bills seem to come too often, but I can't say that time flies either.

Always considered myself liberal minded but it seems like the party has become so extreme to the point of actually perpetuating things that I stand against like racism and fascism. I've lost a few friends simply because my views don't perfectly align with theirs and they're intolerant of different ideologies.


Yeah, both major parties have been hi-jacked by factions with extremist agendas, none of which are all that palatable. A large part of the problem is that the majority of the American has been cowed into silence by vocal, extremist minorities so we have two parties whose only appeal is as the lesser of two evils.

It's scary that out of the entire population of the United States, the best and brightest the political parties could find as candidates for President were Hil/Billy and Donald the Tweeter. If you were writing fiction, you couldn't make this stuff sound believeable.

It's pretty much just Mormons and JW's knocking on people's doors, and you definitely do get atheists trying to legislate the atheist equivalent of theological views (deeply-held moral beliefs, namely).

I've had zero athiest cashiers sneer at me for buying tarot cards or even a toy "magic 8-ball".

I see zero " honk if you love Buddha" bumper stickers. I do have an "Isis, Isis! Ra! Ra! Ra!" bumper sticker, though, that I'm afraid to put on my car because I don't want to invite vandalism from bible-thumpers..


1. I'm atheist.
2. I love hearing "have a blessed day," it's sweet.
3. I would give you a strange look if believed a magic 8-ball had powers.
4. I would rip that sticker right off your car.
5. Don't lump me in ("the rest of us") with your ridiculous views on people.

1. Ah, I've never run into a militant atheist before, you're the first.

2. I usually respond with "namaste" or "Blessed be" depending on my mood.

3. You really believe that toys have evil powers? Some atheist you are!

4. And no tolerance! No sense of humor either! Really, you'd vandalize someone's car? Would you prefer "My other car is a broom"?

5. Nope, you're certainly not what I had in mind for "the rest of us".

dancer62 posted...
I have no evangelistic athiests interrupting me by pounding on my door to invite me to their church.


And again, the door-knocking is mostly mormons and JW's, in the majority of the Christian-dominated world. That's a consequence of their doctrine explicitly including missionary work. Most other denominations don't do such things, so generalizing the practice to all Christians is incorrect.

I would agree that Catholics and Epicopalians aren't rabid proselytizers. They don't represent evangelical christians. Try living in Kansas, Missouri, or Oklahoma.

You've apparently never met any Baptists, Assembly of God, or any of the other rampant evangelicals. Unfortunately, I do live in the bible belt.

And, no, viewing harmless toys or icons of other cultures as "tools of the devil" is definitely a Christian conceit.

The same answer as if it was PS4 vs Xbox One. The PS4 simply because of the exclusives. If I cared about having the most powerful gaming platform I'd game on the PC.

Not a console gamer, and gave up on the PC horsepower race in 2000 because every upgrade was obsolete within a month or two.

If I had to choose, PS4 because of Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, etc., and Vita crossplay.

And I effectively told him they've been coming on cards since the DS and Switch.
