You didn't actually address this at all. You simply made an assertion which, much like your other assertions here, you backed with precisely nothing. That which is asserted without evidence can just as easily be dismissed without evidence so your speculation is worthless. When something says "A...

Roofing is a project I personally wouldn't attempt myself, it seems there are too many ways for it to go spectacularly wrong and fast. From what I know of roofing (which is very limited) the big question is whether to go for something like shingles or metal. If you have slate you'll need to...

If I can't tell the difference it goes in my wallet with everything else I believe to be real. If I can tell it's fake I'd most likely toss it in the trash.

You didn't address it at all, you simply repeated the same argument you keep making that still has no basis in, well, anything except presumption. You also didn't address how, even if Mary had taken a vow of perpetual chastity, she could possibly know that her pregnancy couldn't result from...

First of all you're continuing with the speculation. It is recorded that she was a virgin, she said so herself. You are speculating that she must have remained a virgin for life, having taken a vow of chastity that apparently isn't documented or evidenced by anything except whatever random...

Except that Luke 1:34 doesn't indicate that Mary was a perpetual virgin, it indicates she was a virgin at the time she spoke with the angel. In the days before modern technologies like IVF being a virgin pretty much guaranteed not being pregnant, so it's easy to see why Mary didn't expect to be...

Best to take medical advice from medical people, definitely. The fact remains eating is a choice, and people can choose to eat more or they can choose to eat less. Most people can choose to move around more, although people with mobility issues may obviously lose some options. I prefer natural...

If batteries don't fix it and it's a reasonable quality mouse it could be you've got a bit of crud under the button, or maybe a dodgy connection inside it. Realistically speaking it's probably easier to get a new mouse but if you're like me and hate being defeated by something like that, maybe...

So how does the shot actually help, other than tricking you into not wanting to eat? Can't you just decide not to overeat?

Maybe a bit of crud under the button? Or maybe it needs new batteries? I'm using the same wireless mouse I've had for well over a decade now so unless he's a very heavy user of that button, or he's using a hideously cheap mouse, I wouldn't expect it to be a permanent failure.

Sure, which is why I said that unless there are compelling reasons why diet and exercise won't work it seems that diet and exercise are the best options.

Unless there's a compelling reason why it's not a suitable approach it seems the best approach to weight loss is to eat less and move more.

I don't recall a single verse of Scripture that mentions Jesus or the disciples going to the bathroom but since they were human it doesn't take a huge leap of faith to conclude they probably did.

I saw some pictures showing just this idea. I forget which country it was from, but essentially what they had was a median in the highway, covered by solar panels, that was used as a cyclepath. It provides a safe space for cyclists to use segregated from the faster traffic (and also leaves the...

The most visible thing is to get prices under control. The trouble that nobody seems willing to grasp the nettle and do what it takes, and most policies allegedly designed to help only make things worse.

I'm not a fan of socialism in principle but I'm not sure that socialism and patriotism have to be mutually exclusive. Scandinavian countries seem to work well, such that people from there are often proud of their country and their way of doing things. But then there are the basket cases like...

I don't know if it was flooding or an unusually high tide. Years ago, before the new bridge leading to Chincoteague VA, I needed to leave the island after a nor'easter and found the waters were right up to the road leading off the island, washing over it in places. There were places where I...

Curious. I wonder to what extent the more liberal wing will vote along identity lines, and to what extent the DEI brigade would vote blue regardless of who was on the ticket and thereby negate any perceived benefits from box ticking. As always it seems there's a reasonable block on both sides...

At least one of my local banks has them but I gather they are gradually disappearing.

I can believe all of this. It still rings hollow when you've got an old man who is clearly struggling with just about everything, allegedly having a lot of faith in his anointed successor but refusing to give her the chance to demonstrate just how good she is.
