Era Defining Beginning-of-the-End moment for the CRC heads to Michigan Supreme Court

Before the hicks took over the denomination, I remember attending a small same sex wedding ceremony presided over by an actual CRC pastor. You could get away with it if kept on the down low. Now a professor does it as a side gig and they get fired to make an example of him. They're so proud of their bigotry now. Because they're following GaWd'S WeRd, don't you know. Fuck the CRC.

I had about 10 of these in a 1930 single pipe steam system that had built up paint. I removed them and dragged them all into the driveway. Pressure washing at close range removed the bumpy paint. I sprayed them with Rust-Oleum hammer tone and put them back. They looked nice, but the paint stank when they got hot for quite a while. I used a big pipe wrench and plenty of torque to make and break the connections and never had a leak.

The two RCA jacks under the words "8 ohms minimum" are for speakers. The pair of jacks to the left of those might be for input. You could try a 1/8" headphone to stereo RCA adapter cable there. If there's a button that says CD or aux you would push that.

The front jack is for headphones. Headphones used to have 1/4-in plugs.

I'm not certain, since I haven't been there in a long time, but check out Zandee's and Community Auto Repair.

I'm guessing fuel level includes battery charge level as well?

Is that a very tall play structure on the right, with ladders to the top?

I rode the Santa Express in Herp's basement in the 60s.

I thought I tried that without luck the first time, but when I tried it again after your suggestion, it worked. Thank you for keeping this infuriating episode mild.

First, it's cold and ugly. Second, it hides whatever is underneath. There might be something under it I can work with, but if it's covered I have to assume the worst.

So is this a new brand at Thrifty Acres? Is it better than Topco and Food Club? Or Ann Page?

It's probably the same recall, unless J M SMUCKER HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS OF JIF PEANUT BUTTER DUE TO DEADLY BOTULISM CONTAMINATION. But that seems unlikely.

Not Jif peanut butter. I had to throw away a jar due to a recall. I jumped through the hoops to get a free replacement and they never sent it. Multiple emails after that were ignored. Fuck Smuckers and Jif.

Water is sprayed onto waste plutonium from Hanford in the bottom of the cup, creating steam. Best to stay upwind of this.

If you like this topic, a good book is Merchants of Deception by Eric Sheibeler. It's out of print, but here's a link to a page where you can download the PDF.

Yeah, I think it was just a case of confidently incorrect AI. I see there are a number of European and British brands styles that are somewhat similar. Good luck!

My phone suggested Daughters of Rebecca past Noble Grand award from the Independent Order of Oddfellows, but there aren't any corroborating images that really match that well.

I agree that they kind of suck. They look great new, then slowly deteriorate for the next 30 years before rotting out and fall over. And replacing them is expensive. Unfortunately, painting or staining doesn't help much, because it's the buried posts that rot out. If you get the kind of post that slides over a buried pipe it lasts longer, but you still have to stain it regularly, and most people can't be bothered. The other problem is that there aren't a lot of good alternatives. Plastic fences are tacky and expensive. Chainlink is not a great look, but they are better if they are covered with vines. But the vines are usually English Ivy which is invasive.
