It really depends on the decision. If it's something that makes little long term difference or is easily changed then there's no point spending lots of time and effort making a perfect decision. If it's something that's difficult or expensive to change, and has long term impacts, I'll take more...

Don't know if these shed any more light on it.... https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/apr/16/sydney-church-stabbing-bishop-mar-mari-emmanuel-wakeley-assyrian-christ-the-good-shepherd-terrorist-attack-what-we-know-so-far-ntwnfb...

Reportable income? Presumably that doesn't include "10% for the big guy"? Either way it's pretty sad, but more or less what we've come to expect.

Are they illegal in that you can't buy new ones, or in that you're not even allowed to use mowers you've had for years? I'm sure a car has a lot more emission control but when the gas that takes my car to town and back once is enough to run my mower every week for 3-4 months, it's hard to...

I use a battery powered strimmer and hedge trimmer. Their use is short enough that a single charge lasts more or less forever, my other power tools use up whatever's left in them. Corded is a pain, unless you're working with a postage-stamp sized yard I wouldn't want to work with a tethered...

You never know, they might have heard one of the kooky televangelists and want to find out how much a ticket to heaven costs :)

Depends on circumstance and who the driver is.

My suggested workout yesterday was 80 minutes of running so 10,000 steps passed by some time during that. Then I spent the evening with a youth group I help with, so chalked up a few more steps even if my legs weren't thanking me for it! Today should be easier, my suggested workout is only 42...

Batteries being interchangeable with other tools is a definite plus, as long as you have other tools in the same range. My power tools are Dewalt so I've got a pile of batteries that fit Dewalt tools. The trouble is the reviews I've read of the Dewalt battery powered lawnmower are...

My mind.

Yes - the lack of an official state religion, and the prohibition on government requiring the adherence to a religion, doesn't prohibit individuals within the government from choosing to follow whatever religion they choose. If government officials can't follow a religion can we even have...

Almost certainly. It's good for keeping in contact with people who live far away but email and phone calls can do that just as well.

I don't think I've seen any that would strike me as unacceptably forward, but then I haven't seen all that many church web sites overall so I'm sure there are some out there that would bother me. I think the sort of thing you're describing, that says little more than "Twenty words about who we...

Did you have any thoughts about what people have said in other posts about the term referring to the strategies rather than the most unattractive loss of life?

I found Gettysburg to be a fascinating place to visit. As you say the terrain makes a big difference in war, especially with the clock rolled back to when war meant men with guns and swords rather than aircraft. I can only imagine trying to flush out a defending group from somewhere like the...

I've toyed with the idea of an electric mower but never found them to be an attractive proposition. The amount of gas my mower uses is so low it doesn't even register on our expenses. When the gas can is empty we go and fill it up. I think we use something like 5 gallons of gas per year to keep...

Personally I don't really care about the ancient history of the congregation but others may do. Photos of the people can give a web site something of a human touch, as long as the photos are reasonably representative of the church as a whole. It would be a shame if the only people who consented...

Would you find any appeal for donations offputting? I can see why it would be useful for regulars and members who wanted to donate, although I'd agree if it's too front-and-center it could come across as offputting for people just looking for a new church. My last church continues to list ways...

From what I gather 7500 is still enough to make a positive difference. I read an article a while ago that the idea of 10,000 steps came from a Japanese word that was intended more as an approximation than a specific goal. I like to get 10,000 steps, not least because my regular route for gives...

This thread kinda died out. Today's fun was an hour of speed repeats with 25mph winds, gusting to 45mph. Trying to sprint up a hill into a 40mph headwind is demanding. But my fitness seems to be slowly improving still, so I'm OK with it. Today my watch clocked a lactate threshold several...
