    EV Lawn Tractors

    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...

    Arizona lawmaker leads prayer circle

    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...

    What do you think …..

    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.

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    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...

    Trump’s attempt to explain the Battle of Gettysburg

    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?

    Trump’s attempt to explain the Battle of Gettysburg

    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...

    EV Lawn Tractors

    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...

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    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...

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    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...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    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...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    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...

    God's apology to mankind

    So you're blaming God because you aren't God? I don't always understand why people have to deal with the things they have to deal with. I don't always understand why God does things, or allows things, that don't make any sense to me. But that doesn't mean there is no reason for something. In...

    God's apology to mankind

    (Broken in two because of a 10,000 character post limit) We can choose not to believe in hell at all, in which case no desire to be saved from it can possibly exist. If you talk to atheists the chances are you'll find they have no fear of hell because nobody fears things unless they first...

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    Yes, if you want to attend the church it's kinda useful to know where the church actually is. Or you could just wander around "Downtown Pleasantville" listening out for the sounds of singing. If you know what kind of singing to be listening out for, of course :)

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    I'd expect to see details of when the church meets and how to contact the church, along with some information about church beliefs (denomination, maybe a formal statement of faith). It's good to know a bit about the church congregation - the demographic, style of service etc - and what if any...

    God's apology to mankind

    The problem here is that you're constantly coming at this from a perspective of "this clashes with my morality, therefore it is wrong, therefore God is wrong". If I disagree with you it naturally follows that I think you are wrong. But while I am considering why I think you are wrong I need to...

    God's apology to mankind

    It's still about your concept of morality. If your concept of morality is absolutely correct then God is some kind of bimbling putz who can barely tie his own shoelaces. Of course if there's more to it than your concept of morality then maybe there's some purpose behind it all. If I decide to...

    Florida criminalizes homelessness

    There are certainly homeless people who are clearly seeking maximum visibility rather than seclusion. The trouble is that banning them from sleeping in public places outlaws the discreet locations as well as the more overt locations. Whatever particular requirements individual homeless people...

    Florida criminalizes homelessness

    Sure, there are many times where you see a homeless person who apparently decided that the least sheltered area was an ideal spot to take up residence. Presumably their decision was related to the volume of passing traffic that might throw them some change. I remember as a child wondering why a...
