Bullet Friday: May 3-Cut the fat

Facebook; I like the art...

• As I deduced, the New York Islanders cannot score enough. Defence only takes you so far...

• Thank you to my newish good friend Ricardo for letting me know that 'the football', as in UEFA, will be off Canadian television next season. I am signed up with DAZN online, which is reasonably priced

• Adapt or be left behind (that relates to UEFA football as well).

• Sorry, MLS is largely a bore (Dad agrees).

• Now to attempt to cut the fat off my Shaw Cable package...

• DAZN works while with both my Toshiba and Panasonic televisions.

• Dad agrees with me that at 25 teams to 7 (United States to Canada), the National Hockey League wants the Stanley Cup to be won by America yearly. Combine that with that fact that Toronto and Montreal want territorial monopolies and Canada is therefore missing some larger clubs (not including small Quebec City) that could help the Canadian cause.

• With my latest template upgrade, Facebook no longer works well pageview wise with Blogger when I post; however, both websites are up in pageviews.

Nuclear weapons and mutual survival

Certainly, the West should maintain sovereign democracies, but the Tsar Bomb and like nuclear weapons are examples why pragmatically for mutual survival, Russia is a nuclear threat and peace should be sought.

Same with China, although they have a smaller nuclear arsenal than Russia.

This new political ad makes me laugh

This funny advertisement has hit the air in Canada during this year's pretty lame, Stanley Cup Playoffs

Job's friends and critics

I would not claim to be a specific scholar in regard to the book of Job, but I did reference this text in my scholarly British (MPhil-PhD theses) research on theodicy, the problem of evil the nature of God and humanity, free will/determinism.

This satire has merit as the biblical critics of Job showed similar theological and philosophical naivety as would many (but not all) first-year bible school and/or seminary students.

A key is to have a reasonable, correct, biblical understanding of God's nature and human nature, and the Reformed tradition is useful here...

On a personal note, for me, it is usually the acquaintances and/or casual friends that provide the worst advice as they know me less well than good friends.

The landfill also features lesser valued recycling...Facebook
