Meet the post-Evangelical Christians. They’re just getting started.
  • Really interesting story. As someone raised in evangelical churches, I have Always wondered why modern evangelical Christians can't see the hypocrisy of their position.

    What's behind the increase in homeschooling
  • And you provided the evidence that home schooling is not appropriate for 99% of the families out there. How many other families have the education, background, and resources that you bring to the table? Virtually none. And it's only made worse by the fact that there are no standards, no testing required, no checks on the child's welfare.

    What's behind the increase in homeschooling
  • How some of these parents with just high school diplomas do it is beyond me. They don't. I'm in the same boat. Technical Bachelors, MBA. We home schooled my son with a learning disorder for a year, primarily as a response to the school districts failure to do their job. It was not a success. While I still think it was the right decision, it was incredibly hard. Which is why it only lasted one year.

    How would I go about removing this sink and vanity?
  • May have been glued to the wall as well. I would expect to have to repair the drywall. For the texture, they have spray on texture in a can that they say replicates the existing look. I would not expect to get it perfect. It will probably look different no matter how hard you try.

    washing machine hose length
  • Drain won't work that way. The pump that's part of your washer probably can't push it that far or at that height. Might try running down then up to your sink. Make sure you maintain an air gap. If you want to do it your way you will probably need some sort of booster pump.

    Would nuclear reactors be feasible everywhere?
  • You use seawater for cooling the systems. You could use excess power to run desalination plants, but not use the reactor directly.

    What makes a bicycle so expensive?
  • True, but there are grades of racing. I don't know what the current class structure is, but a 7k CBR is spitting distance of super street or whatever that AMA class is called now. I think the point being made is still valid. I can't go out and buy a motogp bike, and the manufacturer isn't pretending to sell me one.

    How Will States Pay for Roads When Gas Taxes Evaporate?
  • This is the solution. The bite is that politicians know it is incredibly unpopular, and in America penalizes rural voters who have to drive farther. Ideally, it would be assessed annually when you renew registration and amortized out as monthly payment (or possibly an option to pay a lump sum). Based on your cars mileage for the last year, so it would be a post paid tax. However here in Texas, we just got rid of inspections that verify your mileage, so it would be left to self reporting, which is notoriously unreliable.

    Hawaii.... King of the squids?
  • Having lived, and ridden bikes, in Hawaii, Washington state, and now Texas, it's a mentality thing. The same type of people who don't wear gear in Texas are the same that don't wear gear other places.
