Re: Political office

I am also baffled why delivering prescriptions to people in very remote rural areas requires also delivering pornography to people’s houses. The two don’t seem connected at all. In the context of working as a mail carrier for the USPS, yes, one requires the other, if both are being delivered. Becau...

Re: God Bless the USA" Bibles

I wonder how upset some of the posters on MennoNet who display such righteous indigniation about this would be if Biden were promoting/selling Bibles.

Re: Windows Network Bridge issues

169.254 addresses are called "zeroconf" or "autoconfiguration". If a PC connects to a network but no DHCP server answers, it will eventually assign itself an IP address, which it can use to communicate with other PCs on the network, but obviously cannot reach the Internet. The br...

Re: War in Gaza

i realize few are listening to Israel now, but, they have a valid side, and they make a strong case for themselves wrt how they treat others, in Israel and elsewhere. Including Palestinians. Can you explain the "strong case" for bombing a convoy of Danish cooks trying to distribute meals ...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

But I'm going to try to answer your question. I put it there because almost no one acts like it's in the first list. We recognize many people as Christians who are not of Anabaptist thinking in this matter - we sing their songs, read their books, learn about and appreciate their life stories, etc. ...

"The IPv4 IP Address is in the 169.254.#.# range, with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0. (This is the network created by the network switch, the basic connection) The IPv6 IP Address is in the 192.168.#.# range, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, and Gateway 192.168.1.1." 169.254 is an autoconfigurati...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

Judging from the fact that I know a minister-bishop who has one, I would guess that some districts have fully accepted them. There is a minority that have explictly accepted them. The rest seem to be powerless to stop it. I have heard there are 3 specific OOA districts that to still discipline for ...

Re: Outlawing homelessness: City of Grants Pass v. Johnson

Dealing with human behavior is complex and simplistic solutions are not easily found. The ability of governments to criminalize behavior typically outpaces their ability to enforce. Often the approach is to make the unwanted behavior more difficult or uncomfortable than other options. It's very eas...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises

These problems all got a lot worse during COVID. As a general rule, plain people (particularly the less conservative they are) prefer to socialise with their relatives and don't even think to include their non-relatives in things.

I'm not sure how this problem could be fixed.
