Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
Isaiah 2:19

@PNS She needs to get married. Managing a home, children, husband, etc, takes lots of "executive function". Feminism told her she would be more fulfilled working as a slave in a large corporate domain. But most women actually prefer to be queen of a small home domain.

G. K. Chesterton noted that the greatest tragedy of war is when the victors adopt the worst aspects of the vanquished. E.g. US adopting Prussian schooling.

My mother was hired at a local Christian school to teach physics. She knew zip about physics (and was scared of the machines my dad and I built and played with). But she understood real, classical education. I got to watch her in action.

She scheduled the lessons, and kept the students on track. Then she told them, "I don't understand this! Can you explain it to me?" They all competed to try to get her to understand. Maybe twice, there was a question they were stumped on - but an expert (my dad) was available after work.

I saw first hand that no, subject matter knowledge is NOT required, and only occasionally helpful, for a good teacher.

@PNS I wish our farmers used more cow poop and less chemical fertilizer. But there must be a happy medium.

@gpfjeff What mail client?

@cjd So you would make Lord Kelvin the "Father of Heavier than Air Flight"? (In 1895, Kelvin confidently stated that "heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible".)

It's kind of like, "I double dog dare you!"

@cjd There is a lot of open source software with paid binaries for Windows. It makes a lot of sense.

@PNS Isn't that treason? Islam openly seeks the overthrow of the US (and all other infidel nations).

@elston_ Sounds like iodine deficiency to me.

@PNS What he means is, you're not intelligent enough to make the kind of money needed to hire and vet your own security.

@PNS Zu vill EAT ze bugs!

@PNS As far as I can tell from outside, CBC speaks for Canada like CNN speaks for America.

@PNS Yeah - weighing in on the Macron question was not wise.

Note that it is intended as a trial marriage, and abused as a form of prostitution.

@cjd Got one of those for $199 ($99 plus one for a kid) from OLPC project. 256M ram is a little cramped these days.

@ILoveAmericaNews @PNS My favorite is "temporary marriage". Prostitution carries harsh punishment, for the "john" as well to their credit. Enter temporary marriage. You go to the wife dealer, pay the bride price, and get a proper marriage certificate. You return her a few hours or days later and get a proper divorce certificate. All legal and above board.

@PNS NoVa is full of such people. And they hate Trump with a passion.

@eriner We had goats growing up. Even in suburbia, there are "rent a goat" services to put up a temporary electric fence and let the goats graze on your lawn for a day. They spread little balls of fertilizer too - all in one visit.
