I get to be arrested for Christmas caroling? Sign me up!

Now really back.... I have too many hobbies. I'm a recovering chef....meaning lots of gadgets and pans. Sewing, leather craft, upholstery, and then yard stuff, gardening stuff, and.... Might need to cut back somewhere....but I really don't know what.

Not the nice wools. Chintz patterns and calicoes mostly. A few checks. Of course hounds tooth patterns as well. If you are going to go to the trouble of making something you need good tools and do it right....do it so it will last. Don't just patch make something....go for it. Go slow and...

Back to the topic.... They are likely just base line models with straight stitches. The accessories are the pricey part. Button hole and various other cartridge attachments get expensive in a hurry. The oil isn't too bad but most need a gallon just to operate if they've been sitting any...

Brother 2s can run $10K depending on the model.... They have LCD screens big enough to watch a movie on while sewing. They are also very complicated to program to run a stitch. But they also can embroider whatever is on file. And that can include Disney characters. A leather sewing machine...

I have no idea what the Restoration Movement is, was, or will be. Never heard of it until you said it. My upbringing was in a wide wide variety of denominations and geographic locations. Because of this when I was a 30-something I started over. Literally.... I started researching and...

Gasifiers are largely problematic. They are one of the worst methods. Literally everything becomes coated in varnish and needs to be cleaned for it to work again after just a week. (The gasses are that dirty burning) Diesel engines? Some you just can't kill with a shotgun....literally...

So.... The more I read this thread... The more I realize that there is no definition or group I belong inside of. Because...things on Earth are getting both better and worse as time goes by. Morally and physically at the same time. I don't think old theologies are the best theologies as...

Fresh water is the most easily obtained by the reverse osmosis process....it's the system most places with very limited fresh water can make fresh water. It is the most efficient process we have with as few problems as can be had. Electricity generation? We need to return to our Natural...

Until the weather intervenes. Until boating accidents too. Foggy mornings and afternoons . Our planet's oceans are full. Same with lakes. Coal or LNG are much more reliable. And a lack of armed conflicts are even better for electric grid stability. Something that is in short...

One small nuke going off? ALL OF NATO responds... And then it's "game over" for the planet. There is no one dumb enough to start a nuclear exchange. The UK alone has 4 nuclear submarines with 16 Trident 2 D-5 missiles. Each missile has one launch vehicle and 8 warheads in a re-entry...

Guppies are "feeder fish" to begin with. People buy them in bags of 20 to feed other large tropical fish in their aquariums all the time. Oscars tend to get big....so do other varieties. These larger fish don't want the flaked food after a while and prefer the live fish to eat. Usually they...

Get some Oscars and angelfish to put in the tank....they will eat the guppies. No more problems from guppy breeding. Pinch of food every once in a while....all is good.

Aside from the fear peddling.... Nobody will start a nuclear war except in a situation of complete dissolution of a nation. Russia nor China cannot nuke anyone without getting dosed by the same radiation that they perpetrate upon Europe or the USA. The Jet stream ensures that. It will be a...

What have YOU done to celebrate the holidays? Are your holidays going to be rich, full, and merry? Or Are you hiding out waiting for them to be over miserable and alone?

Christmas is coming.... Happens every year.

Louis Pasteur killed a few horses before he finafigured out how to make a vaccine.... That's science...they bury their mistakes. Not all science is worthwhile. And sure....some is absolutely fascinating. Electric cars, rockets on a budget, and satellites for internet....all is...

Scientists absolutely hate to say "I don't know"...they know they must at times. When it comes to "creation science" there is not a lot of information. They know what exists...and the rest is speculation from a few clues. Nothing is guaranteed fact. The 4.5 billion years stems from...

Misnomers abound in this and other "scientific" studies. Most publicly funded research goes through a vetting process at the NIH where the scientific methods are reviewed and agreed upon as to methodology and possible outcomes. The peer review is not one where the researchers pick the...

Well, Perhaps your definitions are incorrect. (I've heard those grouping names before so I dont think those are wrong at all) There are more possibilities for groupings of various types of beliefs....not too particular or narrowly defined but still broad enough to encompass a broad group. So...
