@George-K said in Southern Baptist Church - on women pastors and IVF: @Axtremus said in Southern Baptist Church - on women pastors and IVF: The Southern Baptists voted to: Oppose IVF Reject a tighter ban on women in pastoral posts Their religion, their choice. THat's how it works, isn't it? He also forgot to mention that SBC churches have a lot of autonomy.

I hate to think what he'll do to your corporeal remains when he discovers the shortfall. Not an issue. My corpse will go to the University’s Faculty of Medicine for teaching purposes. Zero funeral costs. No funeral, no memorial. No undertaker.

Well, the Billboard Chris one was cool. And the argument with the Pittsburgh sports guy…

@Axtremus said in Ghost Postings: Was there ever a time even you didn‘t want to be there? Generally between 6am and about 3.30pm.

The pulse would also affect the CCP forces.

Seems like an abuse of the ballot system. Also they should realize not every secretary or janitor is going to vote to pay doctors more money.

Make no small plans.

The driver of the SWAT vehicle cracks me up. Casually looks at his partner like "WTF?". Incredible footage from the body cams... I know exactly where that house is, I walked by it the other day (well the empty lot) when I was in town for work. That being said... and I know "why" they did it, but it's a little humorous the cops evacuate nearby houses AFTER the explosion when it's clear the suspect is dead.

. Check the main water supply pipe and find the valve next to the meter. You can tighten or loosen the bolt at the top of the valve to increase or decrease water pressure respectively. Tighten the bolt in small increments at a time, then use the pressure gauge to see when you reach the right PSI between 40 and 60. https://enduricplumbing.com/resources/how-to-increase-your-water-pressure/#:~:text=Check the main water supply,PSI between 40 and 60.

The EPA just announced stricter rules on ethylene oxide that would require commercial sterilizing outfits to dramatically reduce emissions. The findings here could help regulators identify and more tightly monitor hot spots. Our study demonstrates the need for more accurate measurements to help identify locations to install monitors for more long-term monitoring and so we can best protect the health of people who are living in those areas," DeCarlo said. You should be able to do the monitoring of health by geography to identify the problem rather than monitoring the ethylene oxide. Of course the problem has already occurred by that time. And both should be monitored.

Yes, they might start becoming expensive anachronisms. But they are so nice. I'd hate to see them go the way of the battleship.

When the organisation was a free trade and investment body, the European Common Market, it was of great benefit to its member states in terms of streamlining the flow of goods, services and capital across borders among economies of scale. Since the end of the Cold War it has morphed into a hydra quite out of touch with the individual state needs and peculiarities of its membership. As an organisation it has very much overreached itself into the day to day political sphere of European life and requires a complete overhaul which, if necessary, will require redefined mission and mandate for its continuance and future viability.
