So! What is the latest complaint from teabagging rightwingers?
What has the POTUS done recently to put your panties in a twist?

This is actually an advert for a German reality show but I love this kind of stuff (I think I posted other guerrilla art before). 200 people took over Central Station to the bemusement/amazement of the the real people.

If any sees other examples, please post!

Wow, I AM blind!

I agree! It is almost always after I have watched any vid. Lately, I have taken to open all the the stuff I want to read into new tabs before I start watching the vids (I follow a lot of political blogs - from http://therightwing.net/ and Politico.com to David Korn and field negro and financial blogs like http://baselle.savingadvice.com/). Once I have loaded up then I start watching vids and pretty soon FF locks up; I am even unable to remove the process via Task Manager and have to re-boot, which takes an inordinately long time.

I just noticed "thread tools" and "Display Modes" - wow, we are getting progressive!

When will we get 'strikethrough' code for humorous entendre? Maybe just for Geek's Lounge?

Is this a new button? or am I just blind?

These are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

may be yes ! But the only problem is is it right or not ? is that much
of pain worth that taste ? Ask the question from yourself.

and There is nothing called "should" in a democracy country you
in USA and I'm also from a democratic country. So I completely ignore
the should. However there is just only a request , in other words
just think about it before you sat down to your next meal.

Think for our little taste how much they are suffering ? Is that correct ?

You are making good points - keep it up, just don't get too repetitive.

Are you Hindu? Are you vegetarian by religion? by nurture? by choice? None are mutually exclusive but I thought I would ask.

For the diligent - find this machine:
'used' schoolgirl panties!

My Brute

And I am not Alfredo

Welcome, we hope you enjoy the forums too!

I am just snarky, don't mind me.

I am tracking down a similar problem except that it hangs.

Have you noticed any similarities around what you are doing when it happens? Watching YouTube? Looking at embedded vids?

If you want to see the future of vending machines, examine life in Japan. Coin-operated vending machines are a legacy item - back when I was a child, cigarette vending machines did not give change so the line up of products actually had pennies factory-sealed into the packs. You put your 30cents in and made your selection; the packs usually had 1,2,or3-cents in them (this was back when a penny was worth a penny). Oh, yeah - none of this sissy filter crap, you wanted to smoke, you spit bits of tobacco out.

What a flashback - Chesterfields, Winstons, Marlboros (was a ladies brand back then with filters 'Mild as May'; the 3 original 'Marlbor Man' cowboys died of lung cancer; "Death In the West" opens with the original MM in silhouette, on his horse - as he approaches, the detail of his OxyTank and breathing tube become apparent. In 1979, the settlement of a lawsuit had all copies of the anti-smoking film suppressed), Luck Strikes (LSMFT- often translated as Loose Straps Mean Floppy T..s), Camels, Pall Malls,

But I digress

No.

It was supposed to be a joke but who knows any more.

The feet make a great dish, as well.

When I was a child, I ate pickled pig's feet - I can't any more, too gelatinous iirc.

rice , curry , bread and leaves fruits like mango, apple.
no one get hurts think about it.

However , no offense with you , but are you a doctor ? and medical
is also not a complete thing , it's a science. you can live without it.
I have to say that ,you are wrong at that point.

It is true that beans and rice (ie, Legumes and Grains) together form a complete source of proteins. In fact beans and rice tastes very good.
But it cannot complete with fried bacon which is, imho, the most delicious food in the world. If I could, I would would eat fried bacon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - heck, I might even bake it into cake and pie for desert.

But I digress

so what would you say if somebody kill and eat your meet ?
anyhow I never tried to critize it . But just to keep this open discussion. and you eating with your hardely earned money , so this is not a critize but I just need to keep this discussion.
so what about seeing this video ?
http://www.meat.org/

This is how the dish of meet comes to your table. Please do me a
favor , can you comment after fully watch that video ? and tell
this to your other techno friends if you like and if you think this is
wrong after you watch that video completely.

But the truth is there is no meet without PAIN , best is avoid it.
decision is ups to you. I just reply to this open discussion.

Can't you please spell MEAT correctly? fgs - if you are going to be anti-meat, at least spell it correctly.

Speaking of empty-looking things (sorta) - if you make a hologram of a glass of clear pond-water then examine the image with a microscope, you will be able to see the microbial life in exquisite detail.

If you look at a holograph, you will only see a signature.

Most recent stats for safety of US food supply

The CDC's new report is based on data from 10 states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee.
Together, those states got a grand total of 18,499 laboratory-confirmed cases of nine food-borne illnesses in 2008.

Here's how those illnesses ranked:

1. Salmonella: 7,444 cases
2. Campylobacter: 5,825 cases
3. Shigella: 3,029 cases
4. Cryptosporidium: 1,036 cases
5. E. coli 0157: 718 cases
6. Yersinia: 164 cases
7. Listeria: 135 cases
8. Vibrio: 131 cases
9. Cyclospora: 17 cases

Children younger than 4 accounted for a greater proportion of reported food-borne illnesses than other age groups.

Saturday dinners are always half of what I had for breakfast - tonight, the fresh sausage scramble with my Rye and coke to wash it down.

I was known as the person most likely to become a serial killer.

They got that one right, didn't they!?

If we create computers and robots with AI, will they eventually evolve to take us (the creators) over?

Ooh, we could base a TV series on that idea! Maybe have them search for a mythical 'Earth' too?

truth is: i still have issues, and i'm exceedingly frustrated by this subject

especially by the paradoxical fact that i live in the most technologically-advanced country, which seems to be always on the verge of being taken over by a bunch of superstitions chicken bone shakers.:(

The 'bone-shakers' in Texas have won another round. To put it in perspective; Texas considers itself a single school district and therefore it is the single largest purchaser of textbooks in the US; so what the Texas School Board decides it wants in its textbooks are, de facto, what every other school district will get in theirs because textbook publishers do not want to have to print different versions. Rather than tell you what happened, I will point you to the discussions.

Try Frye's - best buy and such

Cephalopods, among other interesting skills have complete control of chromatophores - They can camouflage themselves so that they are indistinguishable from their environment but they can also put on a dazzling display of light will stun prey and/or attackers.

Yeah, the U-6 is probably way more accurate considering these:

Should we exclude people from the "official" unemployment numbers that want a job but can't find work?

Should we exclude people who have given up on finding a job completely?

Should we exclude people who are willing and able to work full-time, but are forced to take part-time jobs because of the poor economy?

There are other considerations to keep in mind, such as that the US has one of the highest imprisonment rates in the world and it is probably a good guess that many of them would be unemployed if they were on the streets (this might be a stretch but worth thinking about).

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

er, is there a 'strikethrough' code? I thought not, sigh!

I did not even bother to look at the link - the title immediately told me he has never parked under a tree.

I remember years ago there was a guy downtown carrying a sign that read "The air is moving, it could be alive". I just had to ask him what he was on about. It was an interesting discussion; he was wack but interesting whereas this is just dumb.

lol well didnt this thread just go way off point?

i thaught this was just links to things we found interesting?

:S

Heh,heh - it is my thread, I can do what I want er - actually that is why I started the thread and why I keep reviving it but sometimes, I get distracted by a bright shiny object. In this case, it was a mind that might be bright and shiny but also might be dull and useless - only time will tell.

so in another words you telling what you need is the mathematical proof of the risk .Sorry I'm at 3rd grade math.

However this is related to the discussion. think the universe is a endless thing , so suppose that you invent a new theory or a
simulation model about a black hole , how can it be helpful for the
ppl how are staved ? how it can be helpful for the peace of our
world ? how it can be helpful to a person who is going to die from
cancer ? what I telling is searching about something that
millions of LY away never help to today's world's problems.

Ahhhh, now I understand where you are arguing from! You believe that if it does not put food on the table today, it is not of any use. You are at 3rd grade math; you should stop going to school and get a job. There is nothing you are learning in school that will feed a hungry person tonight. There is nothing you are doing in your life that will solve world problems.

Or is it possible that if you finish school, you will be smart enough to feed the world? Is it possible that you will learn something in school that might solve the world problems? Do you see? Do you understand that we are unable to predict to what use the knowledge we gain will be put? Wanting to put …

But I am not being a bully. I genuinely believe one should have no respect for people's "opinions" and their need to share them.

I don't like people who disrespect anyone who doesn't respect people's need to share their dislike of people who share their opinions.

You just come across as a twit without a cause.

Wow, being a bully. How's that working out for you?

'bout as well as it works for you.

But what if they're stupid? Why shouldn't we throw dirt at stupid beliefs? Like the belief that one should just make pronouncements and feel proud at the fact.

No, there is past exposure to information influencing people's opinions. Nothing is pure conjecture.

Yeah! What if they just post stupid crap that they think makes them sound sorta intellectual? Or posting pedantic crap that worries about 'pure conjecture' - get a life.

I am contemplating getting up out of my easy chair, opening the oven and getting some roast chicken with potatoes washed down with a bourbon and coke (oops, I bought Canadian this time - means it is rye and coke).

i remember the heyday of TAMU's Internet Infidels, talk.origins USENET, and Church of the Subgenius. I, too, thought i was quite clever, but 15 years later I see nothing has changed.

Otherwise, if you are so old and wise, why are you posting here?
<<oops, didn't I just say that?>>

i see what you're saying. i probably said the same thing too.

now i think: nothing new, not convincing anyone, preaching to the choir.... yep.... circle jerk.

Sometimes just jerk

We get it - you've been there done that and it all bores you to tears. Why are you posting here? Say something interesting or go away.

i was "Most Likely to be Dead or Incarcerated at 25"

My senior year I was voted 'most likely to end up in Warmsprings' which was where our state insane asylum was located which is what they called those things in my un-politic youth.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours <these marks subject to change at a moments notice>

>>ask this question from yourself. I will going to save them
in the form of money and see the max what I can do ...

I saw those pictures 40+ years ago. There is really not a thing we can do to help them because the dictators in Africa don't want us to help them. Every time we (USA) send food over there the dictators steal most of it.

Actually, us sending them food is part of the problem - we should send them the seeds and supplies to support themselves but the giant agri-businesses want us to buy their products here and waste money on shipping the food to them when it would be about 1,000 times more efficient to buy the food there supporting their agriculture helping them to become self-sufficient

It kind of gives you a hint at the level of thought that Sturm is capable of (it's a joke, son - it's a joke).

@ GrimJack : if we all work hard enough we could perhaps evolve into cats! I have Lizie and her son Pixel.

This brings up a (semi-)related topic - reincarnation. If we are really, really good in this life, can we come back as cats?

Be that as it may - mankind is not the product of evolution, it is a by-product and as such, the universe will not miss us if we screw up and get cleared out of the gene pool (I imagine a huge strand of DNA on a high seat blowing a whistle, shouting "everyone out of the pool").

But then, I am an optimist. (the images don't mean anything - I just like them)

so you agreed that there is a risk. Many ways you can argue and
prove the safe factor is high like you speak. Applying many rambo
jumbo mathematical theories and so on ! oky you win , but there
is only a one earth for you , your children and children after them.

I know about this , many ppl can contentiously argue about this
safe factor. when you ask this question from a gov environment specialist they will say it's safe. you have to believe the analysis or
facts from a non government independent source.

I don't need to prove it or analyze it . or put down some large
Σ ( µτ ) = ______
things and make you difficult to understood and then prove it.
( I personally hate the mAc book).but knows one thing.

"the world is belongs to everyone "

Paracelsus, the father of toxicology, once wrote: "Everything is poison, there is poison in everything. Only the dose makes a thing not a poison." You can drink enough water to poison yourself (it dilutes the electrolytes in your body so much that there is no electrical potential and your heart stops beating). Alcohol is a poison; the spices that you use to make your food more interesting are plants' attempt to poison/protect themselves from insects; cars are the most dangerous thing in your environment.

You do not seem to understand the concept of

Wow I leave for a week and Ezzaral becomes a mod (congratulations by the way), the layout has been messed with, GrimJack changes his avatar (I thought that thing would be there forever) and... that's all the major changes I can think of right now. Good luck Ezzaral with your new duties. I think you'll do fantastic job.

To be on topic:
Ummm....GrimJack is right ;)

It was VERY hard for me to give up that avatar but since we got a new kitty, I had to find some way to celebrate. Her name is Morgan (my last black cat was named Merlyn so we went with Morgan le Faye); she is such a princess!

so what you saying is that voyager missions are complete safe ?
well I'm not a PHYSICS expert but a PHYSICS expert who I believe
told me this. I don't know those mathematical rambo jumbo. I'm
just a learner . and so please don't hurt me . But I talking with a point and info , just google about this , you may seen many PHYSICS experts are commented about this issue . But the US president at that time neglect those risks.

me sorry too !more than that if something went wrong and ppl get cancer , they will be getting grumpy than
you.

From that article:

To limit health risks, the plutonium is surrounded by multiple layers of shielding, including thick graphite shells, ''designed to withstand the extreme of impact and temperatures associated with a mission abort,'' the National Aeronautics and Space Administration says.

Like I said in my previous post - the most dangerous thing that could happen is that the lump of Pu238 would hit you. It is an Alpha emitter - this means that its radiation is stopped by skin; it will melt at 1100+ degs F but won't boil until 5800+ degs F; it is less poisonous than arsenic.

Of course it is a dangerous substance but not anything to worry about - do not eat it, breath it, or smoke it. You could survive eating it but not breathing it. It has a …

GrimJack, Whenever you mention the word grumpy, it reminds me of Walter character used by ventriloquist Jeff Dunham ;)

OMG - that is exactly who I picture too, I just could not remember where the image came from; now I remember. Thanks for the link (my dearest is looking at me funny while I am laughing my ass off)!

I wonder what is the purpose of this finding something that other
end of the universe ?

What are you asking? What is your point?

Try to implement something that helps other ppl. For a example think how many ppl today is without the lack of food ?

"Without a lack of food"? what does that mean?

Can you write the code for a automated green house that maximize the food production capability of that green house control system ? I think that's a good idea.

This is a good suggestion.

I wonder why NA$A is spending a huge amount of money on useless things.

Of all the possible different ways in the United States of America that money is wasted, you choose NASA? Are you on drugs or just crazed?

I have to say this whey NA$A laughdid you mean 'launch'? their Voyager 1 and 2 rockets they had a risk of the destroying the world ! Don't believe that ? there is a risk of necular fuel that it uses, and some equations of the orbit calculation doesn't completely unable to prove out of complete risk margin.

I think I can tease something from this - you think that the Voyager rockets contain nuclear fuel and you fear that they could have destroyed the world and that and something about orbit calculations and margins of error. If this is your meaning, then you are completely ignorant of what the nuclear fuel was, probably completely ignorant of anything …

Ok jbennet, you have a point there.
But explain to me then why a butterfly EVOLVED in doing his tricks, while a grasshopper comes out of his egg as a tiny grasshopper and gradually gets bigger until he is grown up. The metamorphosis of a frogg is more easy to understand, in terms of evolution, than the metamorphosis of a butterfly.

Metamorphosis

Very true, like there are many unsolvable problems , may be problem like "how universe is created is just another unsolvable problem , and govt should neither fund scientists nor religion to explain it.

There are no unsolvable problems, there are problems that we have not solved.

How can you possible say that we should not fund scientists to explain it? Do you really believe that? We have the math and a map to the big bang that goes all the way to approximately 10^-37th seconds - and you think we should not look closer?

Are you deranged?

I am known as a smart, witty intellectual - when asked what it takes to be an intellectual, I answer "to have someone around who is not one"

I am also known as a grumpy old man and all I can add to that is that I am REALLY OLD and pretty fat.
