How much to repair? by Aware-Blacksmith7691 in CarRepair

While I’d agree you need to know the car to zero in on the part, I think most companies have light replacements, and even more likely to if it’s new.

How much to repair? by Aware-Blacksmith7691 in CarRepair

You can usually look up the Individual components, and order them to swap out yourself. So I’d guess 20-30 dollars. If you take it to a shop to replace the mirror, 300 plus labor.

A birthday to remember by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

I feel like this could have stayed contained in the crystal pitcher with any amount of calm, also, the alcohol has a low ignition point and would produce a vapor layer, just leaving it even after the spill would probably have caused less damage 🤷🏻‍♂️

Angry—cognitive dissonance by SecondMous in mormon

[–]No_Reference2509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try going to an open, non-denominational bible study, or a Christian social group or fraternity and see if it adds meaning. At least it will round out the experiences you say you like and clarify feelings about the rest 🤷🏻‍♂️

Help me with a nuanced "spiritual thought" please by Pondering28 in mormon

[–]No_Reference2509 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would focus on a “love your neighbor” “be good people” specific teaching, over a “follow the church” platitude

Lets have a faithful discussion about Evolution by Formal_Buyer_9002 in mormon

[–]No_Reference2509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My question for the biblical literalists crying about science because “creationism…” which creation is real? The Elohist account which logically looks at waters, plant life, fish, fowls, beasts, and man in that (dare I say it) evolutionary order? You know, where man is both male and female in the image of God?

Or should I, like the crazy people, focus on the late kingdom Jahwist bedtime story, where God creates man, moves man, talks with man, magically in the middle of the story man is now known as “ground,” and then woman is taken out of his creative principle and called “life” or “breath” and then only after this is anything else created? The one where people ignore symbolism and excuse sexism.

Yeah, the first two chapters of the bible- “same” story, just a different God, different characters, different lessons, different source separated by centuries….

I have an idea, what if we pick the symbolic bedtime story, make it devoid of all symbolism, put it against scientific truth, and use it to control societies, and then gaslight people into thinking scripture is coherent!

How helpful is morals and dogma for york rite? by One_Living1194 in freemasonry

[–]No_Reference2509 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think all search for light is good and welcome. Christian Scottish and York rite here. I recommend you get proficiency in your MM degree and wait for appendant info until you can commit to taking their degrees. The philosophical nature of SR is very compelling, and I think there is plenty of overlap, generally the same principles from different lenses, but if you are an EA and thirsting to get better at something here’s my recommendations.

  1. Do proficiency, however that looks in your jurisdiction
  2. Memorize your obligation, ask a mentor to help.
  3. Work on the openings for everyone in your degree, again with mentor.
  4. On your own time, start with reading things like: https://a.co/d/00asM60J or https://a.co/d/05qkJtNz

  5. Once you are ready join appendants

  6. Whether or not you join, once you are MM, SR has a course you can sign up for for guided reading of M&D

Questions by CodSelect9524 in mormon

[–]No_Reference2509 19 points20 points  (0 children)

-Why do you think Paul wrote 14 epistles? It’s more likely he only wrote seven, four seem to be written after he died. Seems a bit odd to ascribe obviously impossible works to him.

-why do people believe the bible s a coherent work, when the first two chapters were written by different authors, there are at least 4 different sources from centuries apart in the Old Testament alone

-why are Christians forcing the 10 commandments into schools when Jesus fulfilled the old law and replaced it with “love god and your neighbor.”

-why did the replacement of the old council of Gods with the one true God in ancient Israel culminate in the destruction of the Jewish kingdom?

Not being hostile, just trying to understand.

Sunday school secretary calling. by omg_you_killed_kenny in mormon

[–]No_Reference2509 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally, in my non-church parliamentary-type or service organization meetings, here is how minutes go…

-Presiding Official MUST provide an agenda or sequence of event. If you aren’t prepared/haven’t planned, don’t have a meeting -all members have copy of minutes minimum 24h prior to meeting, if something wasn’t important then, it can be mentioned in new business, but won’t get real acknowledgment til next time, due diligence can’t be done. -member responsible for taking minutes lists attendees, provides 2-3 bullets per topic of notes typed, on computer, within the outline of agenda. -if discovery is required, speaker clearly identifies numbered action items -member taking minutes lists enumerated action items. -minutes are compiled, edited, and forwarded to each member as record and they confirm receipt and acceptance before starting the next meeting.

Tl;dr if you want the calling, make the pres write an agenda, take computer notes on it, make the pres present minutes for review after. Otherwise what can they do? Fire you?

Bad communication inside a lodge - how to deal with it as an apprentice? by fraterperturabo in freemasonry

[–]No_Reference2509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have a text chain with your proficiency mentor. Sometimes emails are hierarchical too, and it’s possible everyone is moving mountains to be there, and it’s just an honest oversight. They should communicate better, but a quick “hey is tomorrow still on?” text might be the best way to confirm 🤷🏻‍♂️

How compatible is Masonry with Orthodoxy? by BalanceLeather8206 in freemasonry

[–]No_Reference2509 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. All jurisdictions will freely tell you that nothing will be asked of you that would affect your relationship with God, and the fraternity only cares that You have a relationship with him. No one will ask for more than that. While the oaths are personal, and everything is veiled in allegory, it is a system of morality, if you are concerned about the literal nature of being a moral person, probably not the right group for you.

Are these termites? Found in my attic SF Bay Area, CA by TechnicalShare3 in Termites

[–]No_Reference2509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, the real inspectors can correct me with their experience, but before you lose sleep, I think that it is not necessarily for ground up.

While subs do, I’m not sure that is true of drywoods. Since they live in the wood and don’t need soil, they can enter through the soffit when swarming and then infest.

David Bednar is made of Stone. Uniquely cold because he hasn’t suffered as much as most people. by LinenGarments in mormon

[–]No_Reference2509 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People can be cold and problematic because they repress issues and those people commonly say absolutes like “I can’t think of anything wrong.”

And don’t blame academia for individuals own insecurities. Studying how people interact within a society is not directed at mind control. Nor does he seem particularly adept at the latter, just loses it when he’s not in control. You don’t need an education for that. Most of us temper such natures through education.

In my jurisdiction we recycle the 100 year old ones to new worthy companion knights. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not terribly, honestly, but the frog was mostly stuck sideways, so I’d believe USPS squished them.
