We are rooting for you, @Vilen. And I'm taking note myself as I have been procrastinating on my list of next books. One of my setbacks is that if I start a good novel, I will read it straight through to the end in one setting if I can. Many a …

Exactly, and this is how great stoyrlines are developed in movies. Who is telling the truth, and do you, as the viewer, know what the truth really is? There is a TV soap opera series "How to Get Away with Murder" and everyone has something to hide. …

Very disturbing, especially the 83% statistic still being active today. There is another study at Carnegie Mellon about toning down the volume of online hate. "People who have come to believe one conspiracy theory often can be convinced of others, …

> The thing that fascinates me is what makes a conspiracy theory attractive and lends itself to deep conviction? I think it has something to do with coincidence or the "odds" of things happening. Improbable coincidences are bound to happen at some …

Yes, it's been an issue for a long time! I grew up on the Northern California coast and have fished the Pacific for salmon on small commercial boats. I have been following the removal of Benbow dam, which has been recently completed. It was built …

Maybe go to the library and pick up a big stack of books you'd like to read. Then, when it gets close to the time you need to return them, you will make a marathon day of reading. My second suggestion is to get a very comfortable hammock for your …

> Any employee should be able to discover problems, find solutions and speak up their minds. Thanks for this, @kevinjhanna. I missed this book when it came out and it sounds really good, especially for creative environments. I think the key in …

I love it @Leviathant! I hope you will give us more. I disagree that it's unproductive nonsense (only because I waste so much time doing this exact type of thing myself when I could be building more barriers to hell!).

@Chris, wow I like it! I had not heard of Algorithmia. I'm going to check that out, thanks! Interesting that it selected red for the bathing suits of the boys. The sand and water color are pretty good, too.

This is a jpg of the original.

Anyone up for a little restoration project fun? I found this image at the Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division. You can see the photo is in need of some love! I set my timer for an hour to see how much I could do in that time frame. …

This is such a classic example of "think big or go home." The Madison Square Garden Sphere being built at the Las Vegas Venetian is going to be a first in many respects and I think it's wonderful that so many big brains get to play on the cutting …

Welp, it's a lot to unpack, so I'm just going to take small bites. Time is only for the purpose of God's teaching function, and that is temporary. Considering time when discussing the Divine adds a wrinkle in the continuity of past and future. …

Thank you @Shewmaker. I’ll preface this with a note that my opinions and understanding are severely limited in scope, but I have a desire to learn. I’m approaching this topic as a debate and I’m not saying I firmly believe any theory one way or …

Thank you, I will look at your posts!

Understood and thanks for taking the time to explain how it works to me! I'm thinking if a writer feels Scriviner is more helpful to their process, and the manuscript can be exported to Word so that I can import it to InDesign, then it is a good …

Did you see their new blue R1T electric pickup truck prototype? I really like their green R1S SUV. But they need to step it up on production! https://electrek.co/2019/09/30/rivian-blue-r1t-electric-pickup-truck-prototype/

I have some skepticism, too, @Angie. I haven't tried these yet but hear they do taste good. The Impossible Burger has 370mg of sodium. Most of the beyond-type products have high sodium (well, I consider anything higher than 200mg high, lol) so I …

Sounds wonderful, please let me know if you ever decide to start a Bible study here on Cake! I haven't cracked my Concordance in a long time but at least I know exactly where it is. Do you use Authorized King James Version or others?

Do you know if Scrivener-to-InDesign-CC importing is as good as with Word? Typically, authors give me their manuscript in Word, which I have to painstakingly format correctly for importing and style mapping. But once that is done, the layout …

@Denise yes it is strange, I thought it said five at first and now I can't see how many articles are free each month.

Oh, I see what you mean. WIth a VPN it might not have registered my ISP as the same as before. So I logged out and you are right, I am limited to five articles per month. Here's a workaround, open the article in a private tab and you can read it …

This looks really good, @patrickh ! I love seeing how technologies start. Did you watch the "Halt and Catch Fire" series? I found this "Bewitched" episode from 1971 and maybe this is the first Skype demonstration, lol. Samantha is in Scotland at …

Well, I can log in with my Twitter UN/PW and seem to have access to all articles on Medium. I am not paying for a subscription. So I don't know what it is you are experiencing but there is an "upgrade" option. "Become a Medium member for $5/month …

Great info to have, thank you @Shewmaker. I will recommend Scrivener to the authors I work with. Have you heard of DramaticaPro? I have used this for fiction outlines and it is really robust. However, it's almost overkill and I found I spent more …
