Flat Earth: Christian Scientific Presentation Against Flat Earth
On my continual life-long journey of hungering truth and enjoying knowledge, I continue to venture deeper into the flat earth versus globe earth discussion. It is, by far, the most important periphereal topic because it does indeed affect your world view. On the one side, I don’t want to be lead astray into some ostracized corner of society where people…

How to Sync a Calendar Between Owncloud/Nextcloud and Thunderbird Lightning
For some reason this is not that intuitive the first time and there don’t seem to be many/any specific tutorials out there. I kept getting a ‘modification fail’ error message or other errors.
