You gotta post it if you do. In college we ziptied a potato cannon to my wheelchair. Probably wasn't the brightest idea but fun as hell
We made a potato gun at UK too. We were going to shoot it at each other but decided to test fire it first... good thing we did. Ended up going over 100 yards. We'd have really hurt someone if we didn't test it. LoL.
 




China isn't as unified as they'd like the world to think. There is a movement among young men too. They aren't working for the usual places and just accepting mediocre lives. They aren't protesting like the Tiananmen people or students in the past but just by refusing to play in the CCP's game they are causing tons of problems.

I have always been respectful to the Catholic Church, mainly cause a couple of their great writers help shape my religious and philosophical views as a young man...the recently deceased Pope was a communist, and rarely did he utter a position I thought was Christian or even sensible. I don't mourn his death, and quite frankly it's best for Christendom.
I understand where you're coming from. My "honeymoon" with Pope Francis wore off within about 6 months after he became Pope. He made a lot of terrible decisions regarding doctrine and personnel management, too numerous to go into here.

I would say that in spite of him and his decisions, the Church has really grown in the past few years (especially this Easter). I'm not advocating a return to the Latin Mass, but hopefully the next Pope will reverse most of the bad policies imposed by Francis and put the Church on a more conservative course.

Pope Francis appointed around 80% of the cards who vote in the next pope.

Oh, but people in power would never do something like that here... (SARCASM...)

The powers that be already showed their hand in 2021... f them. F all of them. And for those that do not like the F bomb...give me a better word.
 
Really enjoyed that series. Thought it was very funny. And I can watch Rachel Brosnahan anytime. Sometimes, I really notice how much the F-bomb is used and sometimes not. When it's in every other sentence, it becomes annoying. When it suddenly springs out of the blue for no reason, it feels like it's used to secure a little more adult rating rather than actually be critical to the story/character development. Personally, I use it WAY too much and am trying hard to curtail my use of it. The younger generation seemingly uses it as every possible type of word (noun, verb, adverb, participle, adjective, interjection, etc.), sometimes in the same sentence although they couldn't diagram a sentence if their lives and the lives of all their IG friends depended on it. :)
I rarely use the word except in the rarest or dramatic of cases in front of anyone. My wife and I knew a guy whose wife was doing drugs. He told the cops that she was on the verge of OD'ing (he was at work). The cops never forced their way in and she died.

I looked at my wife in anger and said: "One of the biggest of f***ups by the Indiana State police.

Growing up I learned Andrew Jackson was one of our greatest presidents. When I went to college I was repeatedly told he was one of the worst ever. Weird how big a difference there is on him.
I would never describe him as one of the best. But yes, in academia they make him out to be WAY worse than he was. (not that I'm saying he WAS a bad POTUS)

I think that's mostly because, regardless of what you thought of him as a politician, he wasn't a very nice person, and he DID make life way harder on the Native-Americans than was necessary. He didn't have much formal education either (although he was highly successful in spite of that) but that sort of thing needs to be discouraged by the faculty/sweater and wine people.

They hold nothing but contempt for successful people that don't pursue knowledge for the "right reasons" ie. because it is the noblest of lives, but rather as a means to an end (solving actual problems, building stuff, creating commerce etc.) They think that THAT life is boorish and common/beneath them. that is until the alma mater needs an endowment, a new library, or the plumbing fixed.

Their 911 system managed to find the ONLY black woman in America that would prefer to keep her mouth shut.

Shut the thread down, we have a winner! I will honor the win with a black woman and phone..

I wonder if she was literally just hanging up, or was she getting in some snappy comments before doing it?

"Thanks for letting us know." or "Your concerns have been noted." or "I'll need your case number first." or "Ma'am/Sir, you need to calm down and lose the attitude."

What's up freaks? What have I missed? Has Trump dick-tatered the country yet? Gas prices through the roof? WWIII?

Fill me in!
**A defense secretary sharing military plans with his wife on his unsecure phone.

**A chief executive that ignores Supreme Court directives.

**A stock market that has literally cost Americans 11 trillion in retirement savings.

**A Ukraine War that didn't end on day one.

**A President that tanks piss poor stocks and trashes the dollar even more by calling the Fed Chair a "Major Loser".

Ya missed a lot.
 
🤣 You put a lot of effort into responding to a 2 or 3 week old post. Had to study up on cut and paste did ya? As the FBI would phrase it, "This has all the ear-markings of a sam post."

Rupp's Rafters is down that hall, and to the left, little fella.

Can someone else carry the moron magnet for a while?

Why, wouldn't you? Do you judge others intent? Not sure I can tell anything other than right or wrong.

Not my job to discern others intent.

If I hear it, I walk away from it or shun it.

I don't try figuring out what is worse.

There is the unforgivable sin.....

Just to give you an example;

As Christian's, it's our job to tell others about Christ. What is not our job is to do anything more. That is the Holy Spirit's "job".

People make things so much more difficult. Hope that explains a little of where I am coming from...

Take care ..
The Gospel should be suefficient on its own I agree

Just filling you MAGAs in on the latest news as Trump destroys the lifetime savings of average Americans and trashes the economic standing of the United States of America.
Anyone arguing that he isn't doing so is not paying attention.
