Supporting documents? A copy of the OFFICIAL investigative report perhaps? I haven't bought any condoms lately but seems like allot. All I have SOLID to go on is his video taped televised statement which aired on all networks, left right and center. He said what he said. Better one today. He's sure DEI is responsible for the air crash. But when pushed by the press pool on the source of his remarks it boiled down to "Well....it could be true". IT COULD BE TRUE?? Really??

WOW!!

So....this wasn't outrageous enough? Little brother, fact checking isn't my job. That one belongs to the speaker, not the listener. You know better than that. And dragging other incidents into the conversation is just muddy water. I didn't speak to anything else. Stay on point and stay clear. This one was as obvious as a fisherman claiming to have landed a 100 pound Muskie. https://www.fieldandstream.com/fishing/the-biggest-world-record-muskies-ever-caught When the lie is that large and that obvious then mister it is on the speaker to provide the PROOF. Your not going to be awarded the record on Internet scuttlebutt, it's not proof. No proof; then the speaker needs to remain silent.

267,000 Mile Service 430,000 km 1/29/2025 965 mile actual OCI. Used over a quart. Had a semi warm dry day. P0420 on a couple times a month now. No longer fighting it. Larger orifice eliminated water/snot in the breathers but pulls more oil. Yet, leaks less around the front timing seal. 5 Quarts Castrol Euro 5W40 No filter change Gave it a bath. Touched up rust spots (Lanolin)

How outrageous does a lie have to be before your backers puke... ".....50 MILLION dollars spent on condoms for Hamas."

Inching up here but along the lines of Cameron's post. About 30 cents so far.

Low 50's today and flood alerts around the rivers. River ice melt, very little snow cover.

Interesting observation sir. 1 John 4:8 "Whoever does not love has not come to know God, because God is love." I always found this fascinating. God is powerful. He is just. He is all wise but when it comes to love he is its personification. Doesn't say he has love or even he is loving. Says he IS love.

A being that has always been and will always be is hard on the human mind but even we have a concept of INFINITY. Number theory. Infinite sets. No smallest number, no largest number. Time has not beginning nor does it have and end. We have two choices and only two. Either "Something" has always been OR, before something, nothing was. Since your statement acknowledges that something cannot come from nothing, then something has always been. Psalm 90:2 reads: "Before the mountains were born Or you brought forth the earth and the productive land, From everlasting to everlasting, you are God." As something has always been and as Romans 1:19,20 quoted earlier notes ".....For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made,..." Or his creation. That is, this something that has always been is "Intelligent", a spirit person. His 'qualities' are seen in his creation. Wisdom, Power, Justice, Wisdom. It is also a fact that one can, and many do, CHOSE not to believe or if they do, not place faith in him. 2 Thessalonians 3:2 makes this point: ".....for faith is not a possession of all people."

Conspiracy is what we get when we don't get our way? Bad calls go both ways. Lot's of calls stink, and yea, they change the outcomes of games. How is it we live in a world full of imperfect humans and still expect...no DEMAND perfection? It is what it is. Relax, enjoy. If you can't...don't watch. But stop this joy stealing of others because your miserable yourself. That is about as selfish as it gets.

So even you don't believe it and yet you do? I can work with that.... Takes around few dozen amino acids to form a functioning cell. So the odds of spontaneous life you quote out of thin air needs to happen not once but 20 plus times making the odds what? IMPOSSIBLE. Science cannot not site a single verifiable example of spontaneous life. If I take every part of a clock and put them all in a bag and shake that bag for eternity a clock will not assemble itself. Then we are left with questions like, Where did those parts come from? Who designed them, chance? Where did the raw materials come from? Alloys? Refinement? What power is shaking the bag. Life is vastly more complicated than a clock and it's existence demands a designer. The ability to create the color in a butterfly's wings is immeasurably/infinitely more difficult than a clock. So a belief in Evolution requires saying that lower orders cannot self create but the most complex things we know can. Does that seem rational to you? Actually, not even close. It's why it's called the "THEORY" of evolution and not the 'fact' of evolution. Evolution violates Entropy. A very basic scientific principle. A higher order can not come from a lower order. Just like cold can't become hot but hot becomes cold. Our very existence depends on these immutable truths. I gave an example of a thing you fully believe in that you can not MEASURE. Ergo your belief does not hinge on science but on a need for a rational explanation for your existence. The most rational explanation is an Intelligent Designer and Creator. Romans 1:19,20 offers this irrefutable logic.... ".....because what may be known about God is clearly evident among them, for God made it clear to them. For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable." Isaiah 40:26 makes this observation: “Lift up your eyes to heaven and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who brings out their army by number; He calls them all by name. Because of his vast dynamic energy and his awe-inspiring power, Not one of them is missing." The very first verse of the Bible tells us how we got here in the exact amount of detail our mind can handle.

Good thing it isn't a vote then. Go ahead Bret. Cancel away. What's the excuse this time?

I did not expect the Commanders to get blown up like that. YIKES!! I did not enjoy that game. Chief/Bills game was a Superbowl all its own. Spagnola is a genius. A full roster effort by both teams. Note to the rules guys. Two holding while a third swings away at the runner like a Tyson/Holyfield fight is NOT a fumble. It's assault and battery and poor sportsmanship. Runner loosing a loosely held ball or a good hard tackle jarring it loose is a fumble. Assault is just assault and should be a roughing penalty.

Washington is scarry and I think they can take the Eagles. Late game....whoever makes the fewest mistakes. Anyone's game. Bill's are coming to play rough.

Maybe

I do it all the time.

@truckguy82 I believe in the human ability to have a rational thought. I'm sure you do as well. Can a thought be measured? Take a tape measure to it or weight one on a scale? Oh science can take pictures of a thoughts impact on the brain just like a tree can show you the wind; but the tree bending to the winds will is not the wind and the glow of an MRI or PET scan is not a thought. Yet, it exist apart from the 'data'. A thought has no mass. Neither does God. A spirit creature. An ancient book has this to say on the subject: "Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God." A very rational thought. There are literally millions of examples of "Intelligent Design" in our visible world. The fact we woke this morning is but one.

And I don't understand how anyone who calls themselves a scientist cannot believe in God. Science affirms his existents. Entropy. Science does not support things happening by chance.

Well written. A life in refining and I know well how plants are set up to run certain crude types. It's a big wheel with allot of momentum. Easy to wreck the train, hard to get it back on the tracks and moving again. Interesting to see what Government knows about a crude units, Coker, FCC or Isomax operations. I like learning new tricks.

Both dead on. Innovate? No. Lie cheat and manipulate...oh yea. Todays business driven R&D is "Consumer Failure Mode Response" driven by chasing "Profit Margin" and fueled by "Focus Groups" and "Review Likes". Cooperate Moto: If it makes more money AND the public is wiling to bear it AND the Government approves it........ It's progress!! If it were not for the military need we would not have standardization nor interchangeability. I'd rather have a Christ-Craft than a Bass-Master. The GM 3800 is likely that last successful true engineering R&D project GM ever did.

Bret, I worry about you. I don't know if you're hitting the Crack Pipe or drinking Jim Jones Kool-Aid....... But I hear J.W. Booth is getting a pardon. So hope, right?

Problem is bother that they are ALL joining in the act. Some sad stuff right there.

Right up there with 1.) I love you 2.) I'm from the IRS and here to help 3.) Check is in the mail Run an SP oil in a 427 Tunnel Port Ford and let me know how that works out.

Soooooo.....abandon what IS working. Yea, that is a hard pass. Oh, I've done that. Wife's Paseo and her Terrain, Dizzy. Both times I allowed myself to be convinced something other than my main stream practices were in error. That the OEM knew best. That some "New Science" method, product or practice was 'BETTER". Both times an utter disaster. Almost succumbed to the noise with Pepper early on. I have nothing but success and constant METRIC DRIVEN improvements when I stick to my convictions and education. I will continue to believe my lying eyes and presenting my data, thank you all for you input.
