Why do people borrow the credibility of science to confirm the Bible? Why do people listen to a person convicted of tax evasion and domestic violence?

We rescued a dog that had suffered some trauma. Once he realized he was safe and developed a sense of family stability he was inseparable from my wife. If she moved to another room, he got up and followed her. If she was gone, he was glued to me. I always said you wanted him at your side in a dire situation because he would stop at nothing to defend you. That was endearing if not annoying at times. Unfortunately cancer got him but I still miss that unfailing devotion.

I saw on the /human sub a dog asking how to make his owner understand that he loves him so much he never wants to be apart after experiencing abandonment.

Fire the schmuck. The reason he is working over seas is no one in the US will hire him. I actually was trained in metric in the US and switch all the time. For some reason the customer and the boss are always right. They get what they want.

I just stopped eating. It worked until I died.

This is not a dog problem, this is a you problem.

At least you still have your knees.

More common with dark stain but not normal. There are some oil finishes like Woca or Rubio that are easier to get consistent results.

I agree it’s possible although if I had to weight it I would say it’s less than 10% probable. In the case of 1st Peter it seems odd that he would weight so long to communicate important thoughts and in the case of 2nd Peter there are several outside sympathetic sources that doubt its provenance. It falls short of reasonable standards of evidence.

I don’t understand this dichotomy that I hear expressed quite often. “I love my country but let’s burn it down.”

I tend to care for ideals, people and things that I love and not destroy them.

I certainly can understand frustration with our political system but wouldn’t we pursue means to fix it within our sphere of influence?

I’m not making a claim. You are saying that Peter could speak Greek and dictated a letter. What outside evidence do we have for that claim?

Being able to speak a language is not literacy. Literacy rates in Palestine 2000 years ago were around 3% and it wasn’t among day laborers.

No it’s not close to reasonable, especially 2nd Peter. Early church fathers openly doubted Peter’s authorship and textual analysis shows a different author for 2nd Peter.

I built a porch out of Ipe, that’s not it. Some Doug Fir maybe.

This is one of those all or nothing deals. If you can handle all the engineering, permitting and installation then it can work. If not, you will end up spending almost as much to install used panels.

Congratulations, you have found the longest piece of flat in the country. Two long days with not much to see.

Sorry, it is hard to pass through the canyon of death. A companion like a dog is unparalleled in life. The scale of the hurt is a measure of the love you shared. I’m sorry you have to go through it.
