Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Relevant has an
article
on modesty. It points out that becoming lustful after seeing a woman
is a man's choice, that what men are sexually attracted to varies from man to man, and is also different in different cultures, and that the only use
of the word, modesty, in the Bible, in 1 Timothy 2:9, refers to ornaments, not to how much leg or whatever may be revealed.
David Drury
urges
so-called evangelicals to repentance.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware recommends the
Problem
Steps Recorder, a free tool, built in to Windows computers, which
records exactly what happened, and when.
National Public Radio reports that
experts
have changed their recommendations on choosing passwords. Their
recommendations should make things simpler.
Gizmo's freeware also reports on a web site that will tell you
what
passwords have been compromised in the past (millions have).
Education: Listverse describes the
right
and wrong usage of 10 common words.
Food: NPR reports that
men
may be more attractive to women if they eat certain foods.
History: Relevant points out that
Robert
E. Lee, himself, was not in favor of displaying confederate sympathy in statues, and in other ways, after the Civil War.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight presents a
short,
calm primer on the histories of black and white identity politics,
and the role of President Trump.
The New York Times presents data on t
he
frequency, by race, of killings by police being ruled justifiable.
Science: Statnews reports on the interesting things that have happened
when
white
nationalists have genetic tests to examine their ancestry.
FiveThirtyEight reports that, with the exception of Saturn,
solar
eclipses would not be visible on any other planet in our solar system,
and eclipses on earth are much better viewing than the possibility from Saturn.
