A bunch of smoking Congressmen in the vein of John Wayne would be an improvement in Congress.

Doesn't work in the real world. Might work in some scientists Laboratory. Not in real life.

No, when my wife and I were Catholics as children some of our family members would do "Lent", and as a child I would some years. My recollection is that Lent occurs at the same time as not eating meat on Fridays. My experience with it was foolishness. It's typically used in two different...

Our training standards for my Fire Department tell us to expect to use between 30,000 and 40,000 gallons of water if we attempt to extinguish it rather than letting it burn. I've never seen "misting" used on a fire. The only time we use something like a mist is when we're using a wide fog...

Here's what they're having to do in Europe due to these disastrous vehicles: "In the Netherlands, firefighters use tow trucks to transport large shipping containers to the site of EV accidents where a battery has been compromised. The box is filled with water, and a small crane lifts the...

Not a claim, a fact as per current Firefighter training from the NFPA. I've fought vehicle fires a few times and I will take gas fires any old day over electric. NFPA Journal - Stranded Energy, January/February 2020 Yes, it does take 6000 or more. Rough estimates for averages are between...

Many Congregations during the Pandemic cited Hebrews 10:25 as a reason for not obeying Caesar's order to cease worshipping God. A common argument was that Christians are supposed to be at the building with the Church in order to worship God and to grow. Now suppose in one of these Churches...

Hydrogen dissipates faster than gas which is the only reason it's not worse than gas on our response scale. We rank hydrogen car fires roughly equivalent to gas car fires in terms of response. The exception would be if the hydrogen tank ruptured and began to fill the trunk creating a bomb as...

Yes, diesel is best. Less combustible and requires more forces to act on it to make it "combustible" e.g pressure. If I had to rank them Diesel > Hydrogen = Gas > Electric. IMO Electric cars need to have a placard on them just like hazmat trucks. That way when I get on-scene to a vehicle...

Hydrogen vehicle fires are at least safer than electric vehicle fires. Electric vehicles are a hazmat situation on wheels just waiting to ruin somebody's day. Every time I see can't help but tense up.

His point doesn't add anything of value though. I can say that Nuclear bombs are misplaced far less often than convention bombs. However the risk of 1 Nuclear Bomb getting lost is not equal to the risk of 1 conventional bomb getting lost. I'd rather lose 500 conventional bombs than 1 nuclear...

6,000 gallons is on the low end for electric car fires. For comparison on water consumption: We had a big industrial fire one day, my Captain and I ran a pump station out of a farm pond to refill tankers. We filled ~60 tankers for a total of around ~400 thousand gallons of water for 16 hours...

You're a stinky butt Jon! Neener neener neeeeener :p:p

Evil. Disgusting. Gender identity video linked to North Carolina daycares sparks criticism

Amen

My father and I would routinely watch "The Longest Day" when I was a kid. That movie really makes you appreciate what those men went through for this country. I didn't know that Eisenhower had written a worst-case sort of letter.

I agree with @HatedByAll. His sin is no different than any of the other inmates. The government should prohibit other inmates from practicing their own form of (in)justice. I also think the entire "justice" system is entirely unbiblical, but that's a different discussion for a different time ;)

That would not be a call I would be responding to if my Department got toned out over my pager haha. I don't mind snakes, I've picked up rat snakes and moved them away from my brooder many times. The biggest one I moved was 6ft. But any animal that is going to put my life in danger is a...

Being allergic to dogs, bringing a dog to an enclosed Church building could very well cause me to stop attending service so that I am not sneezing, hacking, and blowing my nose for the rest of the day. I say if I can't run a few head of cattle through the Church building, or a few chickens...

Part of the failure that occurred in Eden was not only Eve's disobedience to Adam and God, but also Adam's failure to protect and lead his wife. That whole encounter turned God's order upside down. The order is supposed to be: God > Man > Woman > Animal Instead, with the snake, the snake...
