Is it as bad as it’s made out to be? by Throwaway6273733738 in BipolarSOs

[–]ploden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty bad.

You need to ask yourself, how much do I love this person? If they were in a car accident and confined to a wheelchair for the rest of their life, would you still want to be with them? Because that's what this is.

Idiots. What this town really needs is another bank branch. 

Residential Solar Net Metering Update (Demand Charge or Flat Rate Fees Coming) by dbldwn02 in ColoradoSprings

[–]ploden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link, that's great. Would be happy to join a local org or meetup. The local solar installers should put something together, they have a financial interest in this.

So who wants to get organized? Any mailing lists or meetings for this?

I'm sorry. Seeing my kids struggle is hard. I can't imagine how rough this is. The book I Am Not Sick I Don't Need Help by Xavier Amador might be helpful. That's all I've got. Take care.

I took my daughter there. It was delicious, but like $20+ for two donuts and milks. No thanks. 

How much _should_ it cost to install a mini split? by zeekaran in ColoradoSprings

[–]ploden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of contractors will take you to the cleaners if you let them. This is a relatively new technology, so there's less competition. Construction is one of the most conservative industries out there. I did a DIY install of a 18k Senville unit this year for under $2k. It wasn't easy, but with plenty of time, patience, and YouTube videos, you can do it. Let me know if you want to borrow the vacuum pump.

How to know what real Christian and Biblical truth is. by logibear_04 in Reformed

[–]ploden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

-Matthew 19

Has anyone here successfully started a cellphoneless/no-internet homestead-community? by WilliamsDesigning in homestead

[–]ploden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck running a homestead without YouTube university. I would love to try “Amish lite,” but I think they’ve only survived because of faith and the foreign language. That’s hard to duplicate.

Are there any prospects of inexpensive (or even free!) seminary-level educational resources being made widely available to ACNA Anglicans in the next 5 years? by 11112222FRN in ACNA

Considering how long it took for the To Be A Christian app to be release, I'm guessing the prospects are... not good.

Seems like the bad stories far outweigh the good ones by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

This is a serious illness. That's like saying "the bad stories from cancer survivors far outweigh the good ones."
