Re: Can anything good come out of the internet?
I have learned many valuable things from the Internet, car repair, music lessons, inspiration and trade craft in my career (building furniture), in the past I learned a lot from Mennonet and it's predecessor both things I now embrace and things I intend to stay away from. Yes, one of the best contr...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?
(Some of this is in reaction to some posts in the other thread but I decided this thread is the right place to post this.) I debated whether to say something or not. Max isn’t here to convert us. I can give you the key to what’s going on here: once you’ve met and figured out one pathological liar (i...

Re: Rewarding Hackers and Ransomware Crime
Maybe this is because government often doesn't pay as much as the private sector and the best tech people don't want to work for government agencies. This isn’t it. State-level actors are widely known to deploy the most sophisticated and novel attacks. Although maybe it’s that anyone in government ...

Re: Article: ‘Luxury Beliefs’ That Only the Privileged Can Afford
It is unpronounceable in Spanish … Anyway, I hear teachers in my school using this term to describe their students in faculty meetings when I guarantee that not a single one of their Latino or Hispanic immigrant parents uses the term themselves. Unpronounceable in English too, I thought. My mind al...

Re: Are Plain Catholics Anabaptists?
If MaxPC confirms he has been re-baptized on confession of his own faith, I can see he would an anabaptist Catholic but not a catholic Anabaptist. Hmm, but in that case he wouldn’t be accepting the authority of the Pope who says his infant baptism was valid and so would not be Catholic. The authori...

Re: When Catholics leave the church…
First, a disclaimer, every Catholic person I know is a great person & I have no issues with anyone. I have attended masses & all that. But seriously, over the years, it seems like so many people who were raised Catholic (Catholic school, nuns, etc)… that when they are of age, they leave &am...

Re: Article: Courtney Love and the Mennonite drug lords
This is a tragedy. Do these Mennonites know they are a part of the drug problem? Or do they think they are just raising profitable crops? Yeah corn prices were down a few years ago so I just decided to plant the big bag of Mystery Seed I found laying around. I didn’t know what it was so I kinda had...

Re: Experts Confirm Genesis 19, Biblical City Destroyed by Explosion 1,000 Times Larger Than Atomic Bomb
Having a bit of experience with this, the water table isn’t likely to vary much over your property. If you have water, you have water and predicting where the water is is like predicting which part of the swimming pool you’ll find water in: yes, you were right, but… There was a lady who attempted to...

Re: Time for a new phone
For what it’s worth, we are totally an Apple family. I like my iPhone & wouldn’t want to switch. We usually buy the second newest model (so not the newest one) & get good cases, and they tend to last a long time. We have some pretty old ones that our younger children (tweens & young tee...
