Re: Throwback Thursday.... CB radios!

Why do they use VHF Marine radios instead of VHF Mobile radios? Are you certain they were actually the marine version? The ones used by the crews I worked on long ago were regular marine VHF radios. They even talked/joked about how they weren't technically legal to use. I'm not exactly sure what VH...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

Ken, Our church teaches the exact scenario I described - that each person must hear from God for themselves, and that it may be God’s will for a young man to propose, but not for the young lady to say yes. About 99% of our people over the age of 25 are married. Most marriages are quite happy and la...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

I don't know what abstract you are talking about. I'm referring to the safewise article that Soloist posted, the link of which was contained in the post that you responded to and quoted two posts up. It has no abstract. Try the link in this post , where Josh was replying to you less than five hours...

Re: "Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch" Foods?

I haven’t seen any demographers describe plain people as “middle America”, and in fact, most seem to think it is a people group distinct from that. But yes, we get your overarching point to make sure we all know you’ve risen above such gauche tastes are now a sophisticated PNW urbanite. I grew up o...

Re: Trump Convicted

The FEC also began to investigate the hush money payments but deadlocked in 2021 on a 2-2 partisan vote about whether or not to move forward. In other words, forum shopping to find an exclusively Democrat jurisdiction was needed to secure a conviction. Right? The actual crime here is of… Alleging a...

Re: "Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch" Foods?

I think we should let Pennsylvania Dutch people decide what counts as Pennsylvania Dutch food, which includes more foods than ones that existed in 1750. They seem to think what you deride as “middle America” items from cookbooks are items they very much claim as their own, and since when did the de...

Re: Trump Convicted

If it weren’t politicised. Then they wouldn’t be prosecuting him in 2024… For a crime he allegedly committed in 2017… To influence the 2016 election. (He was charged with the crime of committing another crime which the statute of limitations has run out on, because apparently this was such a minor ...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

In a 457 plan the money is being held in trust for you but you are legally entitled to it. This is actually a desired feature not a bug because it means the money can't be seized by creditors if you go bankrupt or something like they possibly could do with an IRA or 401(k) in some states. Ken, I do...

Re: Trump Convicted

Is there any evidence Biden had anything to do with this trial? No, I don't think the fact that the defendant made this claim is evidence of any sort. What Trump is actually doing tonight is going in front of TV cameras to claim that the judge in this trial is corrupt and tainted. The same exact ju...

Re: "Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch" Foods?

I think one needs to draw a distinction between traditional Pennsylvania Dutch foods. Foods with which one can draw a historical connection to Pennsylvania Dutch German immigrants from the Palatinate and that have been passed down for generations since. So the schnitzels, apple butters, Shoo-fly pie...
