"Two words "Sharkbite fittings". I use Sharkbites and they are great, but this plumbing will be between the first and second floor under the shower, so will be inaccessible in the future. It needs to be permanent and have no chance of leaking. I have seen Sharkbites drip a bit. Also, there is some drain work, no Sharkbites for that. Hadrian, thank you for the offer. I'll see you at 10? Posted by: fd at February 18, 2023 08:04 AM (iayUP) 12

Easy plumbing? Propress. You just got to find a place to rent the machine. Every rental place calls it something different. Plumbing press? Hydraulic pipe press? Pipe compressor? Milfuckee has the "brand" everyone knows. Just cal it a kleenex... propress and make it easy.

Still more or less inactive on the front. Patrolling carried on by both sides. General Baer came to take over the Corps Arty.

Thanks so much for the prayers for our organist, Jessie. It means so much. She not only had a pelvic fracture, but she also broke her elbow in a fall at our church luncheon several weeks ago. I have visited her twice since then. This time she was out of the bed and sitting up in a chair at her home with her daughter, and was so happy to see the two congregation members whom I brought with me and she was chatting away. She's still in pain, but was glad to have communion with the church members and I was happy to that her nurse took communion too. Jessie wants to get well enough to lay again. Now we just have to have enough money to survive for her to do so as we await for several possibilities for people to buy some of our land behind the church, God willing.

Yay. BRCC AK47
That is an odd flavor profile BRCC is trying to tease out of the blend. The problem I think for companies like BRCC, Starbucks and others who have to provide consistent coffee, year round, at scale, is that the choices they can make for sourcing their beans is very limited to large commercial plantations who use all of the care and craft of producing at industrial scale. That is why they basically futz around with Columbian and Brazilian beans and maybe Sumatra if there is a good year. There just isn't enough production from the volcanic regions or the artisian fields to offer any other variety outside of limited-yield flavors.

Welllll... the CT scan showed no new growth last Friday so that was fantastic news. He put me on Zometa to help with bone loss and dropped the carboplatin.

Biden on aid to Ukraine - "It's going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the Ukrainian people so they have something in their pocket."
Im curious as to during WW1 and WW2, were pensions a top priority issue while a hot war between super powers was going on? It seems to me, that if this was truly a hot war in Ukraine, with so much at stake, worrying about a consistent pension money plow for the next forty years would be down the list after simple things like basic surival, infrastructure and actually fighting a war.

Canada's is waging war on coffee. Research from the University of Toronto says heavy coffee consumption is cause for concern.
Slow metabolizers are less able to get rid of caffeine efficiently from the body, so, it’s more likely to have adverse effects in the people who can’t get rid of it. Last month, researchers a province over at the University of Quebec said that lowering coffee intake could combat climate change due to the reduction in pollution from making a pot.

DC is under impression the rest of the country thinks like them, all in on Ukies. Which it ain't. My worry is that the best , most competent army in the world is training a band of marauders and future terrorists. We already trained talibs in Afghanistan, and Iraqi officers in the ME . What we got was Al Qaeda and IS in return. Can't wait to see how Ukies will use their new found fighting skillz and awesome equipment when we finally bankrupt ourself on chasing some shit idea in the middle of Europe and pull out.

Was going to try a vanilla maple syrup but didn't.
Is it way different? Posted by: Skip at February 18, 2023 08:08 AM (xhxe I think I profoundly disagree with the existence of Vanilla flavored maple syrup. The whole reason to use maple syrup is to get the maple flavor, which is not a particularly strong flavor to begin with. If you slop vanilla all over your maple syrup, you probably get...vanilla syrup(!), which you can buy at your local liquor store for much much cheaper. This seems like a poor use of maple syrup and a big waste of money. YMMV. Posted by: naturalfake at February 18, 2023 08:34 AM (KLPy8) 91

Forced vegan diets, 15 minute cities, cars that can't travel anywhere, constant strife between races and sexes to the point where suspicion and fear rules every interaction, etc. Remember the ex-KGB defector who gave the interview and said there was a plan in place and active to demoralize the U.S. by subversioin?

IMO the biggest grift scheme was COVID. Literally everyone in the country was in on it. You bought masks, you were paying someone grift. You got a COVID stimulus check, you got paid in grift.
Now... that scam has run its course. So we're onto the Ukraine grifting op. Except this time only the well connected politicos and members of the MIC in good standing are making bank. And the media. But, in all honesty, it's being hyped because of the trillions of dollars floating around for our politicians to line their pockets with and, perhaps most importantly, to cover for *biden's criminal activities in that country.

The absolute stupidity and cupidity of our fearless "leaders" never fails to amaze me.
We, in the US, had a functioning and relatively wealthy society with services and opportunities which had never before been seen. But those of our "betters" that were able to get a hand in the till, could not resist the opportunity to keep on stealing. Now, mostly because war graft is relatively easy, they are willing to risk a high stakes war, convinced that their personal lives will remain unaffected, and only the peasants will suffer.

One fellow wrote to me and he said that he doesn't always have time to read the other threads but he always checks the prayer list and I know that he prays for the people on it. I think that a very touching thing about ASHQ.

Regarding Sharkbite fittings: I used them on under the sink fittings and found if one followed the prep instructions, they work quite well.

Oh, here's something for all you Technicolor Boreworm coffeemaker possessing coffee fiends and the like -
There's a competitor to Starbucks spinning up in the DFW area called "Ascension Coffee Roasters", which for my coffee shop attending friends is the shizznizzle for awesome coffee and coffee shop style foods and miles above Starbucks in quality. Anywho, they also sell their whole bean coffee at select groceries. So, I thought I'd try a couple of bags of their overpriced coffee to see if I needed to upgrade. The two types who's aroma appealed to me the most are: 1) "Levitate"-from the Pacific Rim, Central and South America, tasting of "molasses, fig, butterscotch" 2) "Ardi" - from Ethiopia/Ana Sora, Guji(?), tasting of blueberry, melon, chocolate" DL/DR- they were both excellent coffees with superior flavor and aroma. And surprisingly the "flavor and aroma hints" were actually present. I liked the "Ardi" best. The lovely and discerning Mrs naturalfake liked the "Levitate" best. The price is such that they may not make it into the rotation, but we may get it as a special thing when the kiddos come home, etc. Check it out.

Trump is the shadow President. He has legitimacy, but no overt power. Good to see he is still feared by the soi-disant kakistocracy.
--- I've been waiting for him to do this. Speeches and rallies are fine. But he needs to be showing the US in every news cycle, "this is how the Trump Presidency would do better. " No slogans. No jabs. No insults. Just pure "I am ready to do better than this in day one. " Go so far as to roll out a shadow cabinet, experts to address every crisis. Biden and the folks handling him won't be able to counter because their power depends on the weakness of Biden and his administration. They can't unify against it without ceding power.

Today here in NM they will continue to hunt down and kill wild cattle by helicopter because they are dangerous. There is a bill now at the Statehouse to rid the state of most of the wild horses, being pushed of course by cattle ranchers who use public lands for grazing.

My secret to molding? Belt sander. I'm really good at making 46 degree cuts. Pretty good at 44 degree, too. Posted by: Divide by Zero at February 18, 2023 09:03 AM (enJYY) That is a skill believe it or not. I did the hardwood floors in a house in Virginia City called "the crooked house". Intentionally built without a single 90° angle in the place as an anti mason statement in the 1870's. Doing the moulding on that house was probably one of the hardest jobs I ever did. Took 3 times as long as it should have. Every board custom sanded. Posted by: Reforger at February 18, 2023 09:24 AM (UlSI5) 221

Money is always a debt. When it's pissed away we're collectively worse off.
Posted by: Ignoramus at February 18, 2023 08:43 AM (SJsWC) May I be pedantic? I am not saying you are wrong, but your focus is not correct. In our Fed-run system money is created by debt: you can get money created for you by promising to pay it back, and if you just work for it without debt, you lose because of the inflation , which is created by money created out of thin air. The greater the debt you commit to the greater access to wealth you have. there are other ways of creating money, one of them is digging Gold out of the ground (in a gold backed money) or collecting dentalia shells, but this means a far slower growth and access to funds because it can't be created out of nothing, but on the other hand recessions and depressions are not deep or long. (A third way is via something like Bitcoin which the Austrians say behaves like a gold backed currency and the other economists say are a ponzi scheme) Posted by: Kindltot at February 18, 2023 09:30 AM (xhaym) 226

Yuri Bezmenov, 1985 Interview: "Most of demoralization is done by Americans to Americans. Due to lack of moral standards." -- https://bit.ly/3lNOoDV 1 - Demoralization: It takes 15-20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years that requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy. Expose to the ideology of the enemy. Marxism, Leninism ideology. Pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generations of American students, without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of American patriotism. The result you can see. Most of the people who were educated in the '60s drop out so half-baked intellectuals are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, educational system. You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind, even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black.

I do mean the French salons of the 17th-19th centuries.

You still cannot change the basic perception and illogical behavior. In other words, these people, the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To get rid of society of these people, you need another 20 or 30 years to educate a new generation of patriotic-minded and common sense people, who would be acting in favor in the interests of United States society.

Well said. The mechanism of decay is two-fold. Gresham's Law of people put in places of responsibility, and the Law of Diminishing Returns.

_____________ Some people connected with arms production are going to be getting richer. I wouldn't be surprised to see another run on ammunition like a few years ago when it became pretty scarce and thus, expensive. But, by all means continue to send our mortar rounds, missiles and armor over to Ukraine. We'll just "build more." On the taxpayer's dime. And the politicos will get richer.

He was being paid hundreds of thousands of Euro's to pass along top secret documents. Biggest question now: how many other agents did he recruit to work for them? Dozens? More?

I think I profoundly disagree with the existence of Vanilla flavored maple syrup.
The whole reason to use maple syrup is to get the maple flavor, which is not a particularly strong flavor to begin with. ------- Agreed! Pure maple is no longer pure maple flavor with additions. As much as I love vanilla, I'd never sully pure maple syrup with it. Add it to Mrs. Butterworth's or something... Maple is too good to waste! Posted by: 496 at February 18, 2023 10:04 AM (qqy9u) 258

I feel very sorry for John Fetterman. Anyone who has seen someone go through such a severe physical,shock as he did knows that he is no longer in control of his life. His checking into a hospital was the only way to get a reprieve from what they are forcing him to do. He is escaping through the only route open to him. They will not let him resign because his seat would be open in 2024, a presidential election year and both PA seats would be up. They care nothing for him. Only remaining in power.

I'm wondering about the current fad (NATO commander etc) announcing on TV that we can't keep up with Ukraine's "needs" and now are depleting our own stock. Seems stupid to tell potential enemies that the ammunition cupboard is almost bare.
I see that you have made some assumptions here that probably not correct. In particular, who are "potential enemies" where it is abundantly clear that China is an ally and senior partner in the relationship with the Deep State and sadly, the MIC. The MIC has been providing IP and technology to China since at least the Clinton era, and most likely earlier. It is also obvious to most people that We The People are the enemy in deed to the Deep State, and depleting both the energy stock (SPR) and ammo depots while also setting off biological mRNA time-bombs within the public is similar in plan to blowing up the Nordstream pipelines and shuttering/destroying the petroleum and nuclear industries. That is, by destroying the means of production and emptying the warehouses, it is a guarantee that We The People will be destroyed and have no ability to fight back - ever Posted by: Reuben Hick at February 18, 2023 10:32 AM (l7lsb) 284

I'm kind of pissed off at how stupid people are and are buying the fear pr0n from JD Vance that the rivers and streams are polluted. That stupid example of stirring up muck at the bottom of a stagnant shallow poind in particular. First of all, any idiot should know that vinyl chloride is not petroleum so something that appears to be a petroleum bloom is not vinyl chloride. Second, and it took a while to find the video, but once a bloom is discovered there is a way to determine if it is petroleum based. In this case, by stirring up the bottom the contamination is clearly not of any recent contamination and I am near 95% convinced that what they are calling the train derailment contamination is likely just plain old humic sheen from that area's natural organic decomposition.

Deep fry it. That's the best method. You can crank out a whole package of bacon in nothing flat. Just don't overfill the fryer with oil, because you'll wind up with more oil than when you started (duh).

Like pretty much every other currency base, gold and silver are okay as long as the supply remains steady or, at worst, increases at a slow, predictable rate.
I think the counter-argument is that gold/silver are like bitcoin in the sense that the easily obtained commodity has already been mined and future production requires more effort, energy and technology. Eventually all that can be economically obtained has been extracted. That comparison breaks down when one realizes that gold/silver have real value outside of the context of being a monetary base. Nonetheless, tying a constrained commodity to wealth production in general is a bad idea in that the difficulties in getting the commodity constrains wealth production in general - which suffocates wealth creation.

As for predestination, I don't believe in it the way you are describing it. While the numbers may be getting short, that is the result of the hardness of men's hearts, not the limited application of God's grace. Posted by: squid at February 18, 2023 11:01 AM (S/NWs) 338
I think I'd prefer semiconductor grade silicon on that basis. More valuable than gold, no one country has a monopoly, and the only way it's going to get massively cheaper is if energy gets massively cheaper, in which case everything is going to get massively cheaper.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia You have more wisdom than all of the politicians. Energy production most likely highly correlates to wealth production. More energy, more wealth. (to a point of course) I would love to see GaAs get more traction than Si, but this is where we are.

> difficulties in getting the commodity constrains wealth production in general
Yes, the rate of gold production can put the brakes on a rapidly growing economy. More stuff to buy means the need for more gold to buy it, which you may very well not have. Especially if gold production is largely controlled by China and Russia, which it is (Australia is also a big player, but we don't usually have to worry too much about them).

That comparison breaks down when one realizes that gold/silver have real value outside of the context of being a monetary base.

The US Navy confirms wreckage found by the Japanese off Hokkaido in over 800ft of water is the last resting place for SS-218 USS Albacore and her crew which went overdue on her 11th war patrol while captained by Lt. Cmdr. Rimmer.
https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=137203 Albacore is credited with sinking the Japanese carrier Taiho, a cruiser, and two destroyers along with merchant ships and gunboats.

As for predestination, I don't believe in it the way you are describing it.
Which is OK, the alternative is the "I Am The Exception To All Of The Bible's Teaching" soteriology where the Scriptures clearly state that: • the natural man is in enmity with God • does not seek after God • hates righteousness, loves darkness • is blinded to the Truth by both God and Satan • can't understand Scripture, considers it foolish • and would rather be crushed by rocks that bow the knee to God So yes, the Free Will Enthusiast must, by necessity, claim mastery and sovereignty over all of these claims to man's nature by God (IOW, God lied a lot about man's spiritually dead condition; forget The Fall/Curse and all that jazz) Yeah, the West is dead because it has rejected God's Sovereignty and the Western Church has a DIY salvation plan which categorically rejects the Paraclete's work.

"I'm a simple minded person but I believe He is working even when I can't see, recognize, or understand what He's doing. He's God and I'm not."
That's one way to look at it, but the working of the Holy Spirit in the name of Christ has certain hallmarks. And a church which doesn't appear to be preaching or seeing people saved or working and evangelizing is a pretty stark contrast to one that sees the lost world and is actively going after them with the gospel.

@Reuben Hicks
I'm not getting into predestination arguments. Regardless of what you believe, you can't deny biblically the obligation to spread the gospel and if you believe that, then what are you doing to spread the gospel? Posted by: squid at February 18, 2023 11:17 AM (S/NWs) 360
I believe in relative evil : )
I don't blame you. In some sense, I agree with you. In our temporal existence, some are crueler and more evil to others. That much is true, and it is very very real. In the spiritual realm, the one unseen, our sin is not against each other, but against the Lord. And He will not abide one spot of sin on our robes. And as such, it required the perfect sacrifice to atone such that He may remain a just God in addition to being a merciful one. Posted by: Bitter Clinger at February 18, 2023 11:20 AM (Zqeqr) 361
Yes; God is always doing something. And as some of the old catechisms in the Protestant tradition say "The chief end of our life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever." The goal is to make us like Christ. As for where it's happening now? There is currently a revival in Christian Universties-First Asbury in KY, then Centerville in Ohio. Now it's at another school:

If the Lord is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" why would he knowingly and purposefully allow millions or billions be born predestined for hell?
I'm a "free will" believer. I believe that is made clear from Old to New Testaments. One of my closest friends is a Calvinist and we've had some great discussion on the topic. Posted by: Fool Otto at February 18, 2023 11:23 AM (DB16e) 363

Posted by: squid --- I can't argue with that. My statement is more reflective of the fact that I'm a finite and stubborn being, and more often than not fail to look for the hand of God (or even ask for intervention). I'm not saying sit back and do nothing. I'm saying I'm profoundly stupid and blind in comparison to the God of the universe. Just because He's not doing what I think He should be doing doesn't mean He's not working. Posted by: screaming in digital at February 18, 2023 11:27 AM (aBJcM) 365

Little French Toast tip- When using Texas Toast or other thick breads, after the first side has browned and you've turned it over, lightly press the center of the bread with the spatula. Not so hard that it caves it in, but just enough to help that center get cooked. This helps prevent the dreaded French Toast middle goo.

Emerging lurker from Kentucky here. Saw Asbury mentioned and was moved to comment. Hub and I went this past Sunday (we’re about 15 minutes away) after hearing testimony about it in church. I was raised Lutheran, then Presbyterian, now Anglican. Needless to say I have no experience with a traditional “revival” despite being raised around Baptists so I can’t speak to that. I can tell you that the Holy Spirit is present there in a powerful way and my life and heart were changed by attending. Many fellow believers, including pastors and teachers, saying the same. The veil is thin there right now. So whatever it is, lives are being changed, and young people - the future of the church - are being strengthened and having their eyes opened to God’s love. Pray for them, the church, the leaders at Asbury and schools across the country that the next generation of believers are brought to their knees before Jesus and come to fully accept His love. God bless all of you!

I read the article upthread..."not the Bee"...and I understand and appreciate the author's reservations about what is currently happening there at Asbury. However, I'll refer to the direct marketing rule: 10/10. Ten percent of the mailers sent will be opened, and ten percent of those will be a sale. So if out of 2000 revivalists (for lack of a better word), if the Holy Spirit only sticks with 20...that's not terrible. It's 20 souls who will now actively work for the Kingdom. IMO it's a big win just for the fact that the youths are not all stuck with their faces in TikTok while the event is happening. Posted by: kallisto at February 18, 2023 12:47 PM (dCxaZ) 380
