The choice of chile will make or break this recipe. If you just use jalapenos, it will taste too grassy/vegetabley. Look for "New Mexico Chiles" in an ethnic market or a gourmet grocery. Whole Foods sometimes carries them here in CA. You can usually find the tomatillos there, too. (Be sure to take the husks off!)
Also, I substitute brewed black coffee for beer, and add a teaspoon of brown sugar.
Then you're making it wrong. "Chili without beans" is not simply "Texas Chili minus beans." I make a mean pot of Texas three-bean chili myself, but I also make New Mexico Chili. Both include some dead critters and some chili peppers, but have little else in common.
New Mexico Red Chili is big chunks of seasoned beef (chuck works best) slow cooked in a spicy tomato and chile sauce. And Green Chili is chunks of pork (shoulder) seasoned and slow cooked in a tomatillo and chile sauce. When New Mexico Chili is made well, it's damn close to heaven on a plate.
You want beans? Get 'em on the side.
I favor a nice bowl of Green with a couple of home made tortillas for soaking up the sauce. No beans, no rice, no cheese. Whenever I'm in Las Cruces, chili is about all I eat. The only choice is red or green.
The distinction between large corporations and government is becoming more blurred with each passing day, while we're distracted with the equivalent of WWF smack talk, ringside bikini girls, cheap beer and hotdogs.
An even better example, more pertinent to TFA, would be Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge.
Some selective quotes from the linked Wiki page:
In the novel, augmented reality is dominant, with humans interacting with virtual overlays of reality almost all of the time. This is accomplished by wearing smart clothing and contact lenses that can overlay and replace what the eye would normally see with computer graphics, using advanced virtual retinal display (VRD) technology.
There are many realities to choose from in the novel; however, the largest and more robust of them are built by large user bases in the manner of a wiki or Second Life, including worlds based on authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, Terry Pratchett, and the merged fictional universes of Steven Spielberg and J. K. Rowling.
In other words, people walk around in a fantasy world of their own choosing, and tend to associate only with those people subscribing to the same fantasy. Disruptive, indeed, but an effect that doesn't necessarily require technology to achieve...as recent non-fictional events have demonstrated.
Guinness tastes like soy sauce - I don't drink piss-warm "beer" so I wouldn't know.
Murphy's is better, is commonly available in the US, and also has the widget. Young's Double Chocolate Stout is even better than that. Rasputin's Imperial Stout is also not hard to find, and far better than Guinness. Australian Sheaf Stout is like heaven compared to any of those. But beware: Foster's makes a disappointing knockoff of the style and appears to have some kind of exclusive US distribution arrangement; I haven't seen a bottle of Tooth's Sheaf Stout in nearly 25 years.
The only thing that Guinness has going for it compared to other Stouts is its near ubiquity and a large marketing budget. It's the Bleedin' Watney's Red Barrel of stouts.
Oh, and also, either your piss is 40 or you let your beer get too warm.
Unfortunately, it seems like the only way to defend our constitutional rights these days is with lawyers, and lawyers cost money, even EFF's lawyers. And therefore, you and I and anyone who is not either a billionaire or a fictional legal person is at a severe disadvantage, almost impossible to overcome.
Therefore, if you have any money to donate, even if it's only $5, please follow the link in my sig and contribute to the few people who are really, truly fighting for your rights.
Reminds me of the apocryphal story of the D&D munchkin running a dwarven thief whose dungeon lockpicking strategy is to piss in the lock and then come back in a year or two after the mechanism had corroded...
They would be on Greenpeace, PETA or any other of these protesting groups but choose Anonymous because it doesn't require getting shot at by Russian Whalers while freezing your ass off in the bow of a 12' Zodiac bouncing around in the Bering Sea, or having CS sprayed directly into your mouth while chained to the gate of a meatpacking factory in the blazing Texas heat.
As much as I dislike the "FTFY" method of replying, in this case it seemed to work... One can perform "hacktivism" in one's jammies while munching on a mound of Pizza Rolls.
The Tea Party are those same simple folk, transplanted into our modern era, who have reluctantly decided to get involved.
I was with you up until the reluctance part.
There's nothing "reluctant" about the Tea Party. They are an exceptionally vocal minority with a political influence far exceeding their proportion of the population due to their exceptional organization, unity and cohesion. Not to mention the leverage of very, very deep pockets by members who are wealthy capitalists.
No, the closest analogy I can think of is the Sheriffs of the Shire that Frodo and Sam discovered after they returned from Mordor.
OK, I'll take TFA seriously and ask a serious question. I have a good idea of the answer, or parts of it anyway, but I'm interested in other viewpoints.
Q: Why don't we have fusion power yet? What are the specific technical, political, economic and social obstacles to replacing dirty fossil fuel and potentially catastrophic nuclear fission power plants with nuclear fusion plants? I know this is kind of a "where's my flying car" question, but I feel that if our society really wanted affordable, practical fusion power to replace fossil fuel driven plants, we could achieve it, but we have barely even started down that road. Why not? What would it take to make it a priority?
Not only that, but the Secretary of State in Ohio - they guy charged with making sure the voting process was fair and uncorruptable, and that all precincts had enough resources - was the leader of the Bush campaign for Ohio. The systems engineer was a Rove operative. Everything's done in secret and no one can audit the system. And when the votes are cast, there's a deviation from the poll results that make statisticians suspicious.
What? The? Fuck? How does that pass ANY sniff test, ever? Especially Blackwell's conflict of interest?
You know, you can have one orange finger and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Two orange fingers, and you'll still get the 'innocent until proven guilty' treatment. But when your whole hand is orange and there's cheese powder on your lips and teeth? Dude, I didn't have to see you do it to know that you stole the fucking cheetos.
I had a similar problem with a macbook pro battery I bought in Jan 2010. By Jan 2011, it would barely hold 30 minutes of operating energy, and reported a health of 15%. The number of cycles reported was 49. Not a typo. Forty-nine.
No amount of "calibrating" the battery nor resetting the EPS would change this. I had to fork out $129 for a new battery. As it turns out, leaving the damn thing plugged in all the time and never draining the charge severely shortens the life of the cells.
Lesson: run the thing from the battery every once in a while.

What problem? You're probably just using the wrong phone.
Fixed.

If you aren't currently interested in the old papers of The Royal Society, then read Stephenson's Baroque Cycle... you will be.
This is the recipe I've been using for a few years now.

Only if BMW names one of their vehicles "Shark."
On that note, a BMW 550i GT "Shark" would be pretty frickin' cool. Make mine Gray with P-40 "Flying Tiger" graphics...
That's funny. I become a Fartiste when I sleeps.

Good news: the Scientific Method is still alive.
The bad news: This pretty much disproves my hypothesis of Sauroflatulogenic Climate Change.
Applying simple logic, he's admitting that he's a pedophile who endorses capital punishment for his crime.
Get a rope!
Aye, another HP11C RPN devotee here. I've had mine for 28 years and its still running on batteries I installed in it in 1993.
My only regret was that I didn't spring for the HP15C back in 1983.
And I remember seeing an HP16C in 1987... that would have been even better.
