@SULLY10X Needs to be treated as an emergency when a truck or vehicle is stopped on tracks. Use whatever means available to push or pull the vehicle out of the way.

Train derails in Pecos, Texas after crashing into a semi truck stalled on the tracks.

@Latterdaytruth Spin Pizza or local Thai, Indian or Mexican.

Headed to lunch soon... what's your go-to lunch spot?

@ThrillaRilla369 You could go to bed but the food on the plate was to be eaten before you got anything else.

Be honest because I’m proving a point When you were a child if you didn’t want to eat what your mother made for dinner What happened?

@JimDrumheller @megbasham Thanks!

@GenuineRex @megbasham Rex, You are the only person who disagreed with me in a civil and thoughtful way. Thank you for that.

Last night, after she’d gone to bed, my 16 y/o daughter receives a text from a friend. (We keep electronics in our room at night). I know my daughter isn’t gonna see it for a while and I know the answer to the girl’s dance-class-related question. So I just pick up the phone and answer it really quick as if I’m my daughter and leave it at that. Tonight, I see her giggling over her phone. I ask what’s up. Apparently, the other girl’s mother had just wanted to get an answer to the question really quick, so she picked up HER daughter’s phone and texted mine as if she were her daughter. (basically both of us were too lazy to go through the rigmarole of explaining, “hi, this is Mrs. So-and-so, and here’s why I’m texting you on your friend’s phone…” But the funny part was how the two girls figured this out. Because the first one was so appalled at seeing her mother‘s perfectly punctuated and capitalized sentences, that she felt she needed to come clean that it was her mom lest my daughter think she is that conscientious. And my daughter, likewise, didn’t want her friend to think that SHE uses correct grammar when texting either. So what I learned today is that it is apparently humiliating to be caught correctly formulating sentences via text.

@JimDrumheller @megbasham It’s true Jim. Parents get to parent and we loan these devices to our kids but they are ours and the interactions on the phone should be monitored. At some point you let them go into the world and you prepare for that day but it’s usually older than 16.

@megbasham "it’s my phone. I pay for it." That speaks volumes.

@spauldingtbear @PotluckLauren If God made vegetation on the 3rd day and before the plants came up he was making man on the 6th day it stands to reason that the days were literal and not long periods.

@GenuineRex @PotluckLauren The link is to Strong's concordance, you are free to check it out word for word. I've not trying to hustle you. But honestly? I've seen fields without sprouts, grass, or herbs too.

While I appreciate the attempts to find common ground with the old earthers out there, the Bible says it was evening and morning for each day to show us that this is a 24 hour period. Not figurative, but literal. Genesis is a historical narrative. It’s important that as Christians we choose to believe God’s word.

@spauldingtbear @PotluckLauren “And no small plant”

@GenuineRex @PotluckLauren Not vegetation. "Bush." And more precisely "bush in the field." I've seen lots of fields without bushes. biblehub.com/hebrew/7880.htm

@SamaHoole This gets hard if you don’t eat McDonalds. Are you sure that patty is even carnivore?

Eating out on carnivore, ranked by effort required: Steakhouse: zero effort. They have steak. Pub: nearly zero effort. They have a mixed grill. McDonald's: zero effort. No bun. Any restaurant in Britain: find the animal on the menu. Order the animal. Leave the sides. Airport: McDonald's is probably there. Motorway services: McDonald's is definitely there. Someone's house for dinner: eat what you're given. You are a guest, not a food critic. The diet survives a Wednesday pasta. The effort required to eat carnivore away from home is significantly lower than advertised. The main skill involved is identifying beef on a menu. This is not a difficult skill.

@MiscreaRichard @PotluckLauren Everything was under water. Everything that you see as old was a fast process under extreme conditions.

@GenuineRex @PotluckLauren It doesnt seem likely that a flood would place ancient fossils on top of high mountains. Sorry, I don't buy it.

@MiscreaRichard @PotluckLauren •form

@MiscreaRichard @PotluckLauren There are other things scientists believe that are wrong too. It is hard to test what happens when everything is under a worldwide flood. Seems plausible that the amount of pressure might f rocks and make fossils.

@MiscreaRichard @PotluckLauren Fossils were formed during the flood.

@PotluckLauren Problem I have with the young earth theory is a very big one. It requires one to believe that God would purposely fool people by creating fossils with "age".

@Winterrose A whole dollar? It’s bothering you that much?

I would pay $1 per month for life for a browser I could tell my cookie preferences to and never see a f*cking European GDPR popup from ever again. how did these idiots let this happen

@creepydotorg You are on a need to know basis and you do not need to know.

Very few will know what this is…

@bluewmist Sleep

What is something relatively cheap that improves your life by 100%?

Right. It’s a word picture. Jesus is the eternal God, one with the Father and Holy Spirit. Three persons, one God. The word pictures help us understand their relationship but they are not meant to be taken literally. The same way Jesus says he is a door, bread, or a light. These are glimpses and pictures into who He is and his role in our lives and the universe. We should not limit God’s nature and being to our finite understanding of what is true for humans.

Well, let's examine that word picture... Only Begotten Son in the flesh is pretty clear. Only meaning just Christ is the only person to live upon this earth whose Father is God. Begotten, meaning he was sired by God the Father. Son means a male off spring. In the flesh, meaning Christ is more than just a spiritual offspring of the Father. Thus, Jesus Christ is the litteral son of God, the Father, being born of Mary.

Isn’t it fascinating how the Book of Mormon gets slammed more than any other scripture, often by folks who’ve never cracked it open? Critics echo secondhand smears without engaging the text. If you’re going to critique, at least read all of it first.

@Biblicalman It was a literal tree with literal fruit. Adam ate of it too.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil wasn't a tree. Ezekiel 31 tells you what it was. And it changes everything you think happened in the Garden of Eden... .

@Sadie_NC Be great if my friends all lived close together so it’s convenient for me to visit.

Would this be your dream? Would you want to live this close to your friends?

@F0ODHub Mimosas.

What drink goes best with this?
