Sorry brother. That is a hard thing to imagine. I hope that Psalm 16:11 can be a comfort to you. Knowing that your daughter is experiencing a fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore with God. There are not enough fathers who love and value their children as you obviously do.
900,000 volume in the first 10 minutes seems hefty
The slow build makes it hard to time for me. I'm looking for FOMO moments to jump out and jump back in.

Thanks for all the comments. I'll get it cleaned up and store it away for the future.

I don't really use a watch, but I will probably just save it for my son and see if he wants it when he gets older.

It has an old elastic speidel band. I don't see anything that indicates if it is real gold. It has an engraving on the back, which probably hurts any value that it is has. The engraving marks my grandfathers 30th anniversary at exxon as president of the chemicals division. It has the date of 1967 on it.

Watch Experts

My father passed away in July, and my Mom is offloading a lot of his old things. I've inherited a box full of tie clips and cuff links from the 50s and 60s and a watch. It is an omega seamaster from 1967. It is a gold color (not sure if it is real gold) and the glass is scuffed. Are these things worth anything? Shockingly, it is still running smoothly. Ib4350. Thanks
All of MLKs buddies have turned into democrat snakes, so I have no reason to believe that MLK wouldn't have done the same.
That's incredibly sad. Sorry for his wife and little children. Would be hard to lose your daddy at that age. I pray for a miracle healing. At the least I hope that he knows the one who grants eternal life!
What happened with China? Did they cut supply?
AI is telling my up to $10/share at current prices. I would be disappointed in that tbh.
So, what's its current valuation right now at these prices? $1-2 billion?

What would a reasonable buyout value look like?
Smack is flying us all out there on his dime!
That poor family. There is never a good time for this, but right before Christmas is tragic. The left's bloodlust is insatiable.
Where is that breakdown from SECCaptain?

re: Is having kids worth it?

Posted by ThermoDynamicTiger on 12/10/25 at 7:15 am to
Love my kids. I'm basically a big kid, so it gives me a great excuse to be silly and do kid stuff. It's expensive and a huge responsibility guiding them in the right direction, but well worth it.
I see I got some catholic panties in a wad. I have definitely witnessed Catholics and the catholic church setting up Mary as an idol. She is a sinner like anyone else, but she was key in the fulfillment of the virgin birth prophesy. Mary's savior was her own son. Appeal to god, not Mary.

re: Drainage for yard

Posted by ThermoDynamicTiger on 12/8/25 at 12:43 pm to
I've installed a number of drains and watch a lot of videos. Go corrugated over PVC. The corrugated is designed to create turbulence and move sediment and roof gravel through the pipe. A PVC pipe will clog up as sediment settles out. I've experienced this personally. If you do go PVC, then please put cleanouts. Second, if you do corrugated, then go with 3 inch pipe over 4 inch pipe. I know this sounds backwards, but a smaller diameter pipe will create a higher velocity, which will move debris out of the pipe a lot better. A 3-inch pipe can move a crap ton of water if you slope it right.

FYI, they make dual walled corrugated that is just a strong as PVC.
I don't understand the Catholic Church's worship of Mary. She is not sinless and she is not a co-redeemer with Christ. It is silly and misguided.

What are you talking about? Haven't you been following my posts.
What they failed to consider is that it equally increased my enjoyment of the holidays so it all balances out.
Just 2-3 days more until this thing explodes by my very scientific calculations.

I feel like the big phone companies also have a lot more competition now. I left Verizon for mint a couple years ago because it was far cheaper.

Thanks guys. Looks like I have some experimenting to do as there appears to be 15 different variations of this.

Sensation Salad

Posted by ThermoDynamicTiger on 11/11/25 at 9:41 am
So, I don't live in Louisiana anymore, but when I visit I love to go to Louisiana Lagniappe. Probably my favorite restaurant in BR. I'm blown away by everything, but I freaking love the sensation salad that they make. Does anyone have the recipe for the salad that they prepare? I'd like to make it at home. Thanks.
I think a lot depends on where you live and whether it is inside or outside. If your water is soft, then you probably don't need to do anything very often. If its outside, then it probably gets dirtier more often. I have one outside that is now 8 years old and has never been touched. We have soft water, but I guess I should probably do something at this point.
10ish days until this thing explodes by my very scientific calculations.
