We've all got the backflow blues in Nashville! (relevance: 100%, date: Oct 29, 2025)

I recall when reading the notice actually asking a long-time friend and retired plumber his advice. His response was that prevention devices were absolutely unnecessary in environments such as ours and most all office/retail and home locations.
I realized our notice had arrived back in May, and our 90 day deadline had passed to have the device installed. So I hurriedly moved forward, since the town had issued a mandate threatening to charge $300 per month fine for every month of being non-compliant.

Is God Dead? - Were the Disciples trippin? (relevance: 50%, date: Oct 29, 2025)

Like all previous swoon-type theories, Mirsch's theory fails to account for the minimal bedrock facts suggested by Gary Habermas and Michael Licona. These minimal bedrock facts pertain to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, which are 1) broadly evidenced and 2) acknowledged by a consensus of scholars, both believers and skeptics alike.
