27 Cool and fresh outside -- well, as fresh as this swamp ever gets. I'm considering a drive up the state highway to the Walmart about a half hour away. They don't open until seven, though, and don't usually have a real checkout line open until near eight.

Anybody else notice that you get a little better gas mileage on Shell gas over Exxon? I've been hitting an Exxon station near me for some months, occasionally mixing some ethanol-free gas into my tank, and I get .10/gal. off with my card. Recently I got a Shell card with .30 off for my first five visits, up to 35 gallons, and then I'll have .10/gal off after that. Well, I've gassed up with Shell three times now, and my mileage (calculated, and on my instruments) is up a bit. I haven't changed my driving habits, either. So I wonder.

Been a looong time since I read Young People's Bible Stories as a kid, but I still remember some of the names and events from the Old Testament. Elijah and the ravens, Shadrach and his buddies in the fiery furnace. Don't recall any mention of Rahab the prostitute at Jericho, as you'd expect in such a tome, but Joshua and his conquest of the city was there.

That was why I made sure to give him one of the treats he loves as soon as we got home! Bribery! Actually I've never had a cat who held a grudge like that for longer than his first nap afterward. Stirling is very agreeable and adaptable, too. I could tell he didn't much like being handled by strange people, but he never cried or struggled with them. I'm very proud of him.

Little Dagny is goodnatured too. Good thing!

34 Shell vs. Exxon: It's possible that the latter has a bit more ethanol in it than the Shell does. They're supposed to be limited to *no more than* 10% E10 per gallon by law . . . but what if Exxon is at 10 and Shell is actually a bit lower? Or, and I wouldn't be surprised at this, what if the ethanol-free sold by the Exxon convenience store is not completely E0?

Temple girl rather than street hooker? Maybe. My first acquaintance with her story was the version Heinlein has her tell his hero in Job: A Comedy of Justice. The hero, who was a minister of sorts in his world before his troubles began, tells Rahab that he doesn't know of any Christian who thinks poorly of her.

I've heard about that. But the E0 at this Exxon is labeled "Not an Exxon Fuel." So who knows what is really in that tank? I've been using it, or enough to make a half tank, for a long time. I saw some mileage improvement over their E10 -- but this Shell (also E10) is doing a bit better than that.

50 >> Usually, Easter and Passover are in the neighborhood, date/month wise.

THis gets....complicated. I rambled some about on the ONT last night.

This lunar year per the Jewish calendar has a leap month. Thus, the next full Moon, not the current one on March 25th, sets Passover in that calendar.

The Orthodox (and Coptic) Churces still use the Julian calendar and an unccorected lunar calendar for the Computus of Easter.

Basically, the Paschal Full Moon is the first full Moon of astronomical Spring (and the first full moon of the apparent Tropical Year). That sets the date of Easter.

The Churches uses various calendars that don't exactly correspond to the true astronomical events.

2. Do you still support restorative justice practices after learning about their direct role in the Parkland tragedy?

53
The Gregorian calendar reform "fixed" the date of Easter, getting the calendar back in sync with the astronomical seasons (for a few thousand years). This is well known.

But it also fixed the ecclesiastical lunar calendar to more precisely correspond with the true astronomical full Moons.

Per the Gregorian reform, the first full Moon on or after the vernal equinox sets that date of the Western Easter pretty close.

Maura Healey, a Democrat, chimed in on the situation, and her comment reflected a disturbing level of callousness about the story.

When asked by a reporter about the incident, Healey called it "unfortunate," indicating that “from time to time, things will happen.”

As a guess, I would think Easter would be celebrated on the third day after the Jewish Passover, whenever that occurs.
On the other hand, celebrating the victory over death our risen Savior gave us is something we can do every day.

See Milutin Milankovitch. Of Milankovitch cycle fame. He was a Serbian Slavonaut (as Uncle Palp might say). Look up his cycles.

Anyway he was also a Christian Nationalist, Orthodox Branch, and got his self appointed an Expert Delegate to an Orthodox Synod back in 1923. His task was to come up with a Computus of Easter that all Christendom, Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox (and COptic) coul agree on.

His proposal was simple. We just use the actual astronomical event, the first full Moon after the Vernal Equinox. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full Moon on after the Vernal Equinox, astronomical event.

They all agreed that was a good idea. But it hasn't been approved by everybody yet. Only been 101 years, which isn't that long when trying to get all Christendomt to agree on something.

72 CHIPS for America funding must have a plan to employ ex-convicts, expand employment opportunities for people with "limited English proficiency," hire more women for construction jobs, and produce a plan for contracting "diverse suppliers" that are women- and minority-owned.

In addition, applicants for large grants must guarantee "affordable, accessible, reliable, and high quality" child care for all workers, including all construction workers, allowing CHIPS and Science Act funding to be used for child care center construction.

In Milankovitch's rather simple Computus, there was one ambiguity. Time Zone. The actual astronominical event occurs at a fixed point in time, but the actual date, whether's it's a Sunday or Weekday depends on Time Zone.

SO which time zone? Prime Meridian? Nope, the decided the Holy Meridian would determine time zone. This is the Meridian passing through the Tomb of Christ where the Resurrection happened.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre longitude is chosen as this meridian.

87 United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), along with U.S. Representatives Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), reintroduced the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act, popular, comprehensive legislation that would bring in at least $3 trillion in revenue over 10 years by requiring that the top 0.05 percent of American households chip in 2 cents for every dollar of wealth over $50 million.

97 The problem figuring out the Russian situation is that there's aboutva dozen highly plausible groups that could have been behind it. Which is why i suspect that, just to throw everyone off, this one has none of them behind it and is just more of the garden variety satanic mayhem that fills the earth these days.

The attack accomplished no concievable objectives for anyone; it might make Putin slightly more popularbin Russia than he already was, but he didnt need the boost. It was just slaughter for the sake of slaughter.

100 It's been floated that Putin false flagged the event and wants to demonize Ukraine as the attackers. Not that he needs an excuse to ramp up attacks on Kiev, they started on the 21st and the massacre happened, I believe on the 22nd. Whoever the murdering assholes are, it was brutal and to what end. Putin doesn't scare easily and it will have zero effect on what he does, accept to make him even more brutal than he already is.

121 There is a muzzie part of the equation on both sides in the Russo-Ukraine War. Ukraine was part of the Ottoman Empire for centuries and the Russian Federation has a lot of 'stans (plus Chechnya). Add in the Syria problem and it's not a surprise this terrorist attack happened.

The question is what Putin will do about it? If he blames Ukraine, an it looks like he does, Ukraine is going to be on the receiving end of even heavier attacks. I'm not sure Ukraine can handle that.

139 The Biden administration is to construct a pier off the Gaza shore to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. This week, Israeli TV’s Channel 14 reported that, astoundingly, the Americans have handed over the financing and management of this pier to Qatar, the founder, funder and protector of Hamas and therefore the godfather of the Oct. 7 pogrom.

Channel 14 said the Qataris demanded that the new pier be built by a Gaza company named Al Hissi, which is controlled by Hamas.

Hamas is always in on the $$$. And the killing.

The U.S. has pressed Ukraine to halt drone strikes on Russian energy facilities, fearing that it could provoke massive retaliation and drive up global oil prices.

By incentivizing the construction of affordable units, reforming zoning laws to encourage diverse housing solutions, and providing direct assistance to those in need, we will ensure that no family is left behind.

To his credit, this is one of Matt Yglesias' peeves. The left always cries about affordable housing, but gets all NIMBY when solutions are proposed where they live.

182 Haman's gallows for Mordecai, that Ahasuerus decided to use to hang his dirty, trifling ass from instead, was 75 feet tall. They really did "hang him high." Basically a small office tower.

196 Looooooolllllll. It is always the same play.

Chicago announces the existence of an additional 10k mail-in ballots that were "mistakenly" not mentioned until now.

Many (if not most) of the ballots are from dropboxes, meaning postmarks are NOT required…

This will have MAJOR implications.

Just 4,000 votes total now separate the 2 candidates in the Attorney General race.

O'Neill Burke (tougher on crime) initially had a significant lead, but ballots keep trickling in & Clayton Harris keeps getting closer.

200 >>Smaller town in north texas (Plano circa 1980) got many complaints after DART started running there they did not have low income apartments.

In late 2020, legislation was passed in MA that high-density housing projects are automatically approved in communities that did not meet a minimum low-income housing level. By mid-2021 many lovely small towns had some sort of campaign "Save Bruni Farm" etc. because the builders started in earnest, and the local residents are now powerless to stop them. Last I heard it was even affecting the more posh towns like Sudbury.

Destroying America - you can't get those farms back once they become meg-apartments, you can't get your safe communities back once it's filled with the undesirable outsiders our government leaders thinks should be cared for ahead of productive taxpayers.

Pennsylvania is the number two state in flood damage. Zoning laws are tough in my town and most others to limit the number of homes and amount of impermeable surfaces, and retaining basins are required to handle storm water on site.

Eventually these sort of regulations will be found exclusionary and we'll become the number one state in flood damage.
