I should have had it for Psupper, but I didn’t think of that in time. I put the mushrooms in a saucepan with butter and started the heat. Then I added milk,celery flakes, pepper, salt, and onion powder. I mixed together some flour with cold water and stirred it in to thicken the sauce. I […]
This is a stub. I need to write on this topic. Applications: 1. Regulation. 2. Online seminar security. You can use passwords, obscure addresses, turn off all mikes, etc. Or you can be ready to close down zoombombers if they happen to arrive. 3. Teaching in an epidemic. In the business school, we professors were […]
I will put together wise stories that are useful for making points. This will be very good for my children when it is done. The first step is just to list stories. 1. The old lady in the attic and the naked boys in the creek. 2. The little boy who couldn’t stand […]
Ecclesiosogy– the theology of the Church– is hugely underdeveloped and neglected, despite being almost as practically important as ethics. Why that should be so is an interesting question in itself.

We found a small contradiction between the first and second editions of Allen Bloom’s translation of The Republic the other day. The episode shows how it can be useful to have different people in a class using different editions or different translations. I have my old 1976-college-freshman first edition, but I ordered newer copies for […]
######################################## Poem #1052 by Emily Dickinson reads: I never saw a Moor– I never saw the Sea– Yet know I how the Heather looks And what a Billow be. I never spoke with God Nor visited in Heaven– Yet certain am I of the spot As if the Checks were given– Very […]
I am learning Python and CGI. I wrote up the frequency box explanation I use, inspired by Gerg Gigerenzer, so you can put in a hypothetical disease test and see Prob (diseased|test says you are) visually. I need to fix my github post. I am a novice at this. Comments welcomed. See http://www.rasmusen.org/cgi-bin/bayesbox.htm I was […]
“Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus” . Outside the Church there’s no salvation. This is a Roman Catholic doctrine, and perhaps a Protestant one too, but understood very differently.
