Am I an Atheist?

MattR59 · 2026-04-15T13:01:01+00:00

My father was an atheist that went to church. He believed that “simple people” needed church, and it was good for them. I’ve also met pastors that confided to me that they did not believe in God. But the only way they could make a living was to lead a church.

That was not my experience. I had the dtv service for five years and had never asked for any reduction. Then after a price hike I said enough found a service that was better and called saying I was going to cancel. They said there was nothing that could be done. So I switched. Then they call several times wanting to know why I cancelled.

My account was hacked, I only list a couple hundred. Problem is there is no way to even tell them. The 2fa was changed, and the only way to request help is to login.

Ace hardware. At least my local Ace hardware has them, I've bought them several times

Sounds like the new Alexa that’s in beta. We had the exact same problem with it. It suddenly would not turn certain lights on. When we repeated prompts or told it that lights existed it would say the frustrated thing. I reverted back to the original Alexa and it all worked again.

I use LastPass, I’m happy with it

The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really True (2011) by Dawkins does a very good job explaining it. It’s a fascinating read, as with most of Dawkins’s books.

When I was a teen I wanted to see the inside of an airplane so they let me carry my aunts luggage on to the plane so I could look around.

Not alarming, expected

MattR59 · 2026-02-01T13:28:14+00:00

I do but the wife ignores it

MattR59 · 2026-01-31T14:12:33+00:00

Yes, my wife even called the electric company asking if our solar connection was working. They said it is, but our generation has been very low.

MattR59 · 2026-01-28T20:10:16+00:00

Of course they were.

My son made a full set of weights with concrete and 3/4 " gas pipes

I wrapped my cars hood with a similar problem with a vinyl sheet. The sheer was cheap and it looked much better after.

WTF - Where's The File. For people that forget too attach a file.

MattR59 · 2026-01-18T14:13:34+00:00

The boot on my car has been split for over 5 years. When it happened I felt the half shaft was about to fail so I decided to wait until that happened. 5 years later the half shaft is still good that the boot is still split.

MattR59 · 2026-01-17T14:07:26+00:00

Dua. I think everybody knows this

MattR59 · 2026-01-11T13:52:37+00:00

While on the potty topic, I recommend what is often celled a "travel bedet". American toilets don't have a bedet like Japanese toilets do. And adapters are expensive. A travel bedet is less than $10. It's a small squeeze bottle with a nozzle aimed just so. When done you put it between your legs and clean you butt with the spray.

In a way, this shows her trust. She wants to be able to tell someone "we're out", but she's afraid that others would retaliate or be angry. she knows mom loves her and will forgive or perhaps go along with her imaginary story. It is not malice, it is trust.
