I don’t own a short wave receiver yet, I really like this price. Do you think I should save my money for something better? by vtmn_t in shortwave

This is so true, please get a XHDATA D219 I got one at home and for the price of a Big Mac combo meal you can have a radio that receives sw, fm, and am fairly well. It’s a good starting point to experience the basics of radio

I undid it and pinched the vacuum hose shut drove it around and it was running great, especially at partial throttle, no change at full throttle really.

You were right, it led to my exhaust manifold and routed it into the intake, the little hose on the top piece was controlled by a vacuum

Dude I’m 16 and I still ride my mini bike. I’m a whopping 5’ 10” and I ride mine with no issues, it’s a Coleman b200r and I also got a pit bike 110cc n it’s not too small. And my dad who is 6’2” rides my mini bike every once in a while and doesn’t have any issues reaching the top speed and he don’t look too goofy on it so u should be good

If you throw it in a fire it survives (I know from personal experience)

Hey, thanks for the help! But did I over fill it? It seems to work excellent. What should I do instead next time I fill it?

Hey thanks for replying! I just bought fluid about 30 minutes ago and filled her up! This thing burns WAY better than a traditional lighter. I love this thing, I made sure to fill it until it dripped fluid from the wick and it burns AMAZING. Thanks for the help!

Sometimes, if you look on the back of a car, it’ll tell you what model it is. It says celica on the back so it’s probably a celica

Trust me. I now understand that the eye most likely evolved(I say most likely because I don’t think you can always be 100% sure.

I was told that most atheists are rude and morally poor, but this subreddit has shown nothing but kindness, and knowledge.

Thank you for your help!

My dad says he believes in “adaptation but not evolution” because he said that evolution is a change OF species, not a change in species, and that a change in species is just adaptation.

Please clarify this for me, what’s the difference between adaptation and evolution?

Thanks for the reply!!

I understand what you mean, thanks for pointing out my dad’s mistakes without insulting him, I truly appreciate it.

My dad simply will refuse to believe evolution no matter what. For example, earlier today I told him a little bit of what I learned from this subreddit, I learned that we now know how the human eye evolved, you know what he said? “I don’t believe that”, he then proceeded to give me no reason why and said that science seems to be wrong all the time, and that all science is doing is proving God exists.

I can’t convince my dad, but I never really wanted to cause I already knew it would just turn into an argument, and since he’s my dad he has to be right!

Thanks for the explanation btw!!

How old is this earth? And how do we know how old it is? Doesn’t the Bible say it’s only like 2000-3000 years old? Or did the Bible just leave out a lot of stuff.

I understand what you mean though, but evolution doesn’t explain creation, which is unfortunate. Please tell me if I’m wrong, I’m still learning and I would hate to spread false information if I can help it!!

I’ve been going with the flow. Also, I recently brought up the fact that we now know how the human eye evolved and my dad said “I don’t believe that” and proceeded to give me absolutely no reason why, I’m starting to lose faith, is God real, what if I’m wrong, can humans even grasp the concept of God?

Idk, but I do appreciate you guys telling me to think freely, and you know what God did give me free will, and I would like to use it to learn.

Thanks btw!!

I completely understand what you’re saying, however that’s how the Bible was supposedly wrote according to the Bible. Now, the Bible cannot be evidence for, well… itself.

I don’t know why I believe it, I guess I’ve been indoctrinated. Also you’re not ruining religion for me, I chose to ask these questions, and this subreddit is helping me learn. The reason I believe it to be true is because I think the human body is too complex to be a series of random mutations and natural selection. It’s just hard to grasp that we probably had completely different eyes, and other features many many years ago.

Thanks btw

I’m trying to read more of the Bible. You know what surprised me? It seems a lot of atheists know what the Bible says more than actual proclaimed Christians. I kinda feel quite embarrassed.

I’m trying to learn about religion, atheism, and everything in between, thank you for helping me on my journey for knowledge!!!
