    Contractors Charge Per Hour?

    Ah, do you mean a General Contractor or tradesmen that do contract work? I answered in regards to a GC. Tradesmen (plumbers, electrical work, etc. ) are less, between $75-$150 usually.

    Contractors Charge Per Hour?

    Anywhere from $150 to $500. I had a great guy that just retired from major work that was $500 a day...but a day could range between 4-6 hours for his work depending on the job.

    Ancestry.com

    I did it but did not "discover" anything really. I discovered more interesting facts about my family past via genealogical research.

    Do all religions ultimately point to the same God?

    I'm really not in a position to argue for or against SDA, nor is this thread about it. But I will say that veneration of saints isn't a salvific issue, so I would not argue for or against it as a reason SDA may or may not be "Christians".

    Do all religions ultimately point to the same God?

    With due respect I don't think that I am "gaging at gnats". The post stated "they're all accursed and there is nothing to be gained in arguing about it.". If we are numbering the "accursed" then the numbers should be reasonably accurate and probably not include Trinitarian Christians like SDA.

    USA Trumps Invites Russia to War Against Our Allies

    It tracks with what Trump has been saying about NATO countries since he was a candidate last time around. The longer quote was this: Countries are supposed to commit at least 2% of GDP to defense, only 35% are doing so which means that 65% are delinquent in their obligations to the...

    Do all religions ultimately point to the same God?

    Can you cite where those numbers came from? They don't seem to be accurate. For example, there are close to 17 million Mormon/LDS church members, not 1.5 million, 22 million baptized SDA (which are Trinitarian Christians so should not be on the list). Also, there is going to be a lot of overlap...

    Instant Pot

    We use ours once a month or so...but generally for things that could have been made in a slow cooker. Sometimes my wife makes soup in one using the pressure functions.

    The story at the end of Mark

    Just because they did not say anything right then does not mean they did not ever say it, even shortly later. Honestly, I only ever have read it as that they were shocked at the moment, but not as a few hours passed.

    How should Biden respond to the drone attack that killed three servicemen?

    I am not so sure that it is really that fishy. Iran sponsors a number of proxy groups in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and "Palestine". We have been attacking these groups for the last several years at least, including the group that is blamed for this attack on our base. These proxies are...

    How should Biden respond to the drone attack that killed three servicemen?

    The war hawk in me wants to invade Iran or bomb them into devastation, but in reality there are a LOT of complications with that. I think the most likely scenario is shooting some missiles at a target of little value in Syria or Iraq related to the proxies that committed the attack on our forces.

    Home Delivery

    A bicycle. I thought it was going to be delivered in a box but the delivery person rolled up a fully assembled bicycle. Even more of a surprise is that it seems to have been assembled correctly.

    Would you buy an EV?

    All valid points. The truth is that I don't really want to buy one, but it seems eventually it will be inevitable.

    Would you buy an EV?

    We have two cars in our house. My wife probably drives less than 30 miles a week, so there are no real concerns with her having a EV in regards to distances. I drive far to much for an EV to be anywhere near practical and it is not uncommon for me to have to drive a few hundred miles in one...

    What new hobbies caught your attention?

    Watching pro-wrestling like WWE and AEW. Also, I am trying to get back into mountain biking, it has been around 10 years since I went regularly though.

    Which denominations would you consider

    I would consider Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, Global Methodist, Anglican Church in North America, and non-denominational if it were a good fit. Important factors for me right now are faithfulness to the Gospel, a good children's program and a church with lots of families that is growing.

    Have you ever been to an Orthodox or Coptic church?

    There really isn't any reason you can't be a faithful member of your own church and attend another out of interest. It is good to learn more and experience more of our Christian faith so we can better relate to one another. Even if you attend your church on Sunday you can still visit a Orthodox...

    My son hates the little marshmallows, and I am not going to try them either...so no. But when I was a kid I would have liked to.
