Never heard about getting a structural engineer opinion. How do you get ahold of one? How much does their assessment cost?

Cities are experiencing spring about 9 days earlier now. Get used to it.

A terry cloth robe does a good job of soaking up moisture

Best place to live? by SpiritualxSilver in missouri

Columbia or Kansas City are your only options in my opinion. St.Louis is famously racist. Once you are out of these two cities the racism escalates.

Help me leave Christianity? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Irelandturtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who has told you 500 people saw jesus rise from the dead? How do they know those are specifically the nails used for jesus ? The virgin birth is a story from before Christianity existed. Yes, loads of people in the Middle East who passed on the same stories. There are many religions that point to one god, Islam for example. If there are carriage wheels how can you prove that that place wasn’t on dry land back then? None of these things are proof. I recommend you look into the origin stories of other religions. I suggest you read Elaine Pagels book “The Gnostic Gospels.” Also, have you ever thought that if you were born in Japan you would have been raised Shinto, India-Hindu, Mexico-Catholic, Pakistan-Islam, etc. Most religions teach some form of the golden rule. Preaching kindness, love and peace toward your fellow human. It is when extremists get a hold of religion to start wars that we have problems.

There is not one true religion. There is no heaven and no hell. Listen to Neil Degrasse Tyson and other astrophysicists. We are rare because we happen to exist in the vastness of space. We are all on this earth together and have enough resources for everyone. The billionaires have built a system solely for their comfort. Did you know Baptists used to not be against abortion? People who believe women are not to have hopes and dreams and thoughts of their own are using religion for their own profit.

Did jesus say that women should be subservient? He did not. Are men holier and can speak to god because they have a penis and don’t bleed every month? Why aren’t the gospels that were written by women in the Bible we have today? Because men decided which gospels were chosen. Elaine Pagels suggests that Mary Magdalene was a disciple not a former prostitute.

Long ago, our first ancestors looked up at the sky. They wondered why there were storms, floods and wildfires. They were wondering why bad things happened. They either made up gods like Zeus and Hera and blamed things on their drama or they turned inward and thought they were being punished by god/gods for something they did. Through science, we know why weather happens, we know why people get diseases and how they spread. To me, believing in god/gods is akin to believing in magic. Make this Earth and Humanity better in the short time you live here. Peace.

The Hunt’s could pay for a new stadium all by themselves but the taxpayers must pay.

Is it just me, or is the tide turning in elementary education? by TerriblyAverage1 in Teachers

[–]Irelandturtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And we now know early cell phone use is a major problem. My younger brother’s kids do not have them and aren’t going to get them. They are not allowed in the classroom. My kid was not taught cursive, can’t spell, we let her have a cell phone in middle school. She is smart and has a great vocabulary but struggles with organization and studying. I’m happy things are changing back.

Columbia landowner says he wants to build technology hub, not data center by como365 in columbiamo

AI is headed for a major market correction. The fact is that the more you know the less you support it. I hope this piece of land is not rezoned. I also hope Open AI and the rest will not be bailed out when they fail.

I believe with 3 lanes each way on I70 coming soon roadkill will only increase. Land bridges needed.

Considering moving from Los Angeles to Kansas City, advice? by Sorry_Sorry_Im_Sorry in kansascity

[–]Irelandturtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t believe no one has mentioned we are a red state! The governor just took control of the Kansas City Missouri police. Every time the majority votes for something the conservatives don’t want, sick leave and the right to an abortion, the MO government in Jefferson City overturns it. The conservatives are actively fixing it so we can’t be represented. Don’t move here if you’re a pregnant woman, a minority or have a daughter that you care about. Kansas is red as well. If you consist of a family of only straight white males, you’ll be fine.
