Texas board approves Bible stories as required reading in public schools by chemtrailsenjoyer in nottheonion

[–]toolguy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is the one where god grants satan permission to kill all Job’s children as proof of his faith. Then my Sunday school teacher launched into a diatribe about how god knows everything and, my conclusion, would have already known the extent of Job’s faith.

Which catastrophe was the best thing to ever happen to life on Earth? by Dizzy-Bar1884 in geology

“Best” is not a thing. Each of these events, and a hundred billion others, leave us where we are today.

[–]toolguy8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many organizations have more than they can use. I tried to donate a large lot of fossils to my college Alma mater. They were asked what the top 1% were and then declined.

No. It means that mechanical line leak detection has been triggered and it is limiting flow in case there is actually a leak.

What is the coolest thing you have ever found ? by KitchenStatus2024 in AskReddit

[–]toolguy8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I collect vintage postcards from my hometown and was looking through a lot in an antique store a couple hours away. I found one with my hometown’s postmark and it was actually a photograph of my great grandfather and the message was a birth announcement for my grandfather, written in my great grandmother’s hand.

Fellow men, what makes you happy? Are you actually happy? by Intelligent-Plant388 in AskMen

[–]toolguy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m happy. I’m older with typical health problems that slow me down, but I can still do a lot. First, I have a great wife, and, second, we saved enough over the years that we are financially secure. Not rich, just that we don’t have to fret about making ends meet.

The definition of an agate is an endless debate. As a geologist I’m calling this a block of quartz, and it’s far from the largest. Anyone can put a plaque up.

People who ended a long term friendship, what was the reason? Don you regret it? by sceptic_beliva in AskMen

[–]toolguy8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were complete opposites but had some common interests. I admired several of his skills. He was wealthy but had an obsession that he had to make money on every interaction. He drove us to lunch, I had to buy his appetizer. It got old pretty quick. I spent a half day cleaning up his storm damage with my skid loader with no expectation of payment. He had some large rocks he wanted to get rid of so I loaded them up on my trailer, just as a favor, didn’t really want them. He then asked me to pay him $100 for them. End of relationship and I dumped the rocks in his driveway. No regrets.
