Christians or other people of faith may wish to consider these thoughts from Pastor Mark Peake of First Presbyterian Church of Monterey on Election Day, November 5, 2024.

4 General Character. Of course, no one is perfect and we lean into grace but sometimes it's easy to see where one candidate is trying harder to demonstrate selfless rather than selfish behavior. This includes a realistic look at how the candidate has handled his/her own family and interacted with the public in the past.
5 If a candidate is proposing restrictions to health care and education then that candidate is working in direct opposition to the Gospel.
6 A whole life approach to things in general. As opposed to merely “pro-life” this means an attitude that works towards solutions that make the choice for life more likely. So, things like universal child care, access to affordable health care, etc. are to be worked toward.
7 Specific to this election is a consideration of immigration. Here is what the Bible says about that: Leviticus 19:33-34: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” (Note that this is a direct command from God.) And in the Greek scriptures, Hebrews 13:2: "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” What candidates and policies honor that sentiment?](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/605835 "FPC Monterey View - November 5, 2024

Less than 35% of Americans make 100K and they are NOT going to see their taxes increase at all. In fact, their taxes will be reduced for 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 under the Harris administration.
1 in 16 Americans do NOT make 250K.
1% of Americans make 400K+.
5% of Americans make 350K+.
The GOP will only reduce taxes for the 1% and the 5% of Americans. Kamala Harris plans to make those who make over 400K pay their fair share.

That red skirt I just mended with the little embroidered daisy? Welp, got it stuck on something and ripped the waist opening of it, didn't I. 😆 I don't have thread or a patching fabric that exactly matches so I went the scrap piece of fabric of a good weight and highly visible mending route. I'm thinking it's going to be either a colourful fern or a peacock feather, but bed calls me.

@EdenLinnea yeah. I mean hammering holes in things is never going to be a silent operation, but I've heard much quieter machines.
it's not designed for huuuge batch jobs, of course. I can run off a 30 page bug history for work whilst popping out for a coffee and nobody's bothered. I would like a better way of binding my paper, perhaps i'll ask for a binding machine as a christmas present.

It would be my luck to arrive at Best Buy though, only to be told that their fuse had blown and the store was opening later in the day instead. Had to go to Staples, where they tried to get me to sign up for their rewards program just to get store credit for the items I return. Not too worth it to me.
Back to work for the last 2 hours now.
Was echt prima wäre in Friendica/im Fediverse: Ein Verfallsdatum für Postings. Also nicht pauschal für alle, das gibt es ja schon, sondern dass ich bei jedem Post entscheiden kann, wie lange der online ist. Es sind ja nicht wenige Postings nach ein paar Wochen irrelevant, während andere noch nach Jahren interessant sein können.
yup, layoffs at the Mozilla Foundation 😢.
some of the folks directly affected are already listed here: mofo.directory/
Good, talented people. Get them on your team now!
