    Here’s a helpful thread on why electrical multi-meters show “1.” for total resistance or no connection and 0.00 for prefect connection with no resistance: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/194408/why-does-my-multimeter-always-show-a-value-of-1-for-resistance

    Here’s an idea of how to use a multi-meter to do this: https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/multimeter-continuity-test/

    September 1, 2024 at 4:48 pm in reply to: Faculty Process should start with [1] Mercy and other Primes

    The over-reaching Prime of education should be Capacity Building. Growth is not enough if it isn’t able to be directed to a purpose or create practical value. One could grow to understand endless details of trivia, an apart from the questionable status-value of the exclusivity of that body of knowledge, it would be of little benefit to anyone.

    One way of thinking about this is through the Teacher role of [5] The Equipping Gifts. The Teacher equips by uniting in people the power of Logos and Pathos: the Psychological and Physical Domains. It’s not just what you know. And of course, physicality without knowledge is a fundamental problem. But the two together is capacity.

    March 8, 2024 at 2:54 pm in reply to: rendering stops

    Searching online, I found an old bug report for Blender where they were having a problem with the rendering engine hanging at 10,000 frames. This was apparently only happening when rendering the strips to JPG files – one file per frame. When the engine would go to save a JPG for a frame and the frame number was more than four digits, the engine would hang. Apparently the issue was corrected in a subsequent release: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/26656

    This made me think that the issue may be with the output file file name. Perhaps there is some way to specify the name of the output file the render engine is trying to create that will prevent the engine from hanging when it goes to save. Maybe see the link above and see if a similar solution can be used with our problem.

    It would help if you added the actual names of the list from my TODO so that future readers have context for what these are lists of.

    On the first task (third list), see what you think of the following options:

    I was thinking of Mom showing you the fencing techniques she knows and also have something flexible enough to practice other forms (there are also plastic swords in almost all imaginable form factors).

    Add the following CSS to the custom CSS field in the theme customizer:

    @media only screen and (max-width: 989px) {
    .uagb-is-root-container {background-attachment: scroll !important;}
    }
    @media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
    .uagb-is-root-container {background-attachment: scroll !important;}
    }

    Seems to have corrected all issues except the bad background contrast on the fortnite slide. I’ll add a semi-transparent background to the text container to improve this.

    Checked with Bluehost, and SSL is now installed on the site. HTTPS works. Now need to use htaccess to force and check all images, etc use the correct protocol.

    January 13, 2024 at 3:22 pm in reply to: This video claims KungFu is 7000 y.o.

    A brief Google search puts his claim in historical doubt, however, most of the mentioned archeological evidence relates to Sholin Kung Fu. It is possible his source is from Wushu and may relate to legendary origins.

    During our search, we turned up this history of martial arts. We also discussed our definition of martial arts and agreed historical earliest origins would have to be established by an actual recording of formal method. Therefore it seems a source — “In Vietnam, drawings and sketches from 2879 BCE describe certain ways of combat using sword, stick, bow, and spears” — may be the earliest formalized system.

    I added the following Campaign Criteria to the course page. Thought I’d repost here:

    • Kick-off Jan 7, 2024 — one engagement each week after
    • Member (kid) driven process, activities, assets, and outcomes
    • Engaging to ages 8-14 — any through them connected adults
    • Building on Mr. V’s vision input

    Afterward, this same member (who needs to create an account with a username so I can quite referring to him as “member”) and I had a great conversation about vulnerability from strength in creating [1] Mercy Space. We talked about how bullies can’t respect anyone because they can’t be vulnerable since they are insecure — their trauma had made them unable to do anything but assert themselves in the most crude, violent, and coercive ways. Another person — properly secure, may actually be more physically powerful than the bully — but is able to show respect to even the weakest nerd because they have the confidence to be vulnerable.

    We talked about how [1] Mercy Space is also applicable to the sales process. When we make room through secure vulnerability-from-strength, we have power to actually hear clients and they can tell we’re most interested in hearing and helping them with their interests regardless of sales. This is especially important if we are selling trust or service as a premium over cheaper products that are not as good for customers or the world.

    You mention in your list that you extent your praise to the entire Halo franchise EXCEPT for Halo 5. What’s wrong with Halo 5? Just curious.

    Thanks for these articles! They are very helpful — especially since they each have a process described that we can start to use. I was thinking as I was reading them that I’d like it if we had a chart where we could see their processes side-by-side. This could be something simple on an ODT word doc of spread sheet. Then you and I could go over the list, process the steps, and decide what our process will be. We need to have a beginning idea for a finance issue I need to address on Sunday. Do you think you could pull together a chart of the process steps from each article?

    Good insight Sal. The boys and I talked this morning about purpose and filtering everything in your life on whether it contributes to the mission or doesn’t. I think that’s core to what we’re trying to do — it’s really the lived “Kingdom of God” — and I think it’s what you’re trying to do with filtering screens through usefulness for mission: learning or creating.
