When the pipe fitters told me about it I thought they were kidding too.....I mean it's NYC....there's a tunnel or basement going everywhere there. But nope....he wasn't kidding. Sewer lines aren't under pressure like water....so just about anything will work. (Apparently) And in some places...

Well....the old sewer lines were hollowed out logs apparently....someone figured out how to make a hole in the middle of a tree and used it for a sewer pipe.... And going beyond the construction site itself to replace city government property is not on any contractor's agenda.

So tell me, if you know: How do you connect a standard 4" PVC sewer line up to a hollowed out log? The guys in NYC really want to know. They haven't really found an ideal solution yet.

But....your dodging. Truth is not relative...nor is good. There must be a solid, hard line of "good" as well as "bad" or else societies crumble...we simply can't get along. No one can live in a vacuum. Even animals can get along well enough to live. Even if you have a small group of...

That would depend upon how you came upon your definition of the concept and word "good". What is good? What is good for society and the individual? Some things seem good as in recreational drug use but the long term shows that these things are very detrimental to societies and individuals...

Are you sure? Why would I stop? On what basis do you believe that my beliefs are incorrect? What do I get out of this global mess? A richer and more full life than anyone else...even if I didn't get Heaven I would still choose this life for the freedom and richness to life that this set...

Feral cats keep the rodent population in check. Especially in "trash filled" neighborhoods where rodents multiply. However....cats, like pangolins carry many diseases and colds....also genetic disorders. Not exactly better with the bugs running around these days.

Do you know the Characteristics of God? Do you understand the concept of God's Sovereignty? God's Holiness? God's Goodness? God's Timelessness? God's Immutability? Omnipresence? Omniscience? Omnipotence? Mankind may be free moral agents but that in no way means that we can thwart God or...

John 8 is highly disputed text...mostly because it belongs in Mark 10. Because it's written in Mark's style of writing instead of John's style. I know, not exactly a popular discussion topic but it fits in Mark 10 much more poignantly than in John 8. Because Jesus taught: point...

It's a circulatory system thing. Your blood pressure changes to accommodate the cold weather. As we age your body loses the ability to adjust to cold weather. (It's also easier to put on weight) I never have had this ability. I froze and got frostbite several times when I lived in Idaho...

I don't mind wiring them or even changing thermostats and heating elements or the electrode that removes hard water calcium and other elements from the water....just plumbing them really sucks. I started using flex connectors with compression fittings and soldiered a ¾ male and piece of...

So

Omnipotence has a LOT of things that go with this. Sovereignty being chief among the characteristics. If God is not completely Sovereign then He isn't Omnipotent. Then there's "Timelessness" or eternal. If God doesn't have this as a characteristic then He isn't Sovereign or...

The loss of personal autonomy is especially frightening for most people. Death, prison, being tied up....all frightening. And people wonder why I don't like school.

There was a lot of things we used to do as young singles before I went off to culinary school...(bachelor pad food) Canned beef stew (not soup) Open two big cans and pour into a 9x13 or 8x12 glass baking dish. Then get two cans of canned biscuits (I personally like flaky layers or buttermilk)...

The one holding a plate of home made cookies they are giving out.

There is a transition which occurs in Westernized culture life that doesn't necessarily happen in other cultures....and that's the separation of heritage and a focus on legacies. People want to forget their past and where they came from as if it was something bad... And sometimes it is/was...

Oh plumbers get in some NASTY situations as well. Plumbers always have work because stuff always leaks at some point or valves go bad....something always needs fixing. And water leaking will destroy any building rather quickly. But yes, there's ALWAYS dirt, dust, bugs, mice, and general...

I was a Journeyman construction electrician for years. Foreman many times. Specializing in commercial/industrial work...mostly because I could do motor controls, security-related wiring, and complex AV system wiring with integrated lighting systems. I've done everything from hospitals to...
