  1. Quickly! on Iran Plans To Launch an 'Islamic Google Earth' · · Score: 3, Funny

    Time to draw some giant Mohammed cartoons in the desert, Nazca-style!

  2. Re:good. on Sequester Grounds Blue Angels · · Score: 1

    +1 fuck 'em. They're amoral bastards who brag about how they can't feel any guilt while getting paid so much. I'd like to see every one of them out of a job.

  3. Re:good. on Sequester Grounds Blue Angels · · Score: 1

    The US hasn't defended shit in either of our lifetimes. And do they stop more dictators than they support? But then you did say "US and allied interests" so fuck those brown people right? It's all about the cheap oil and base locations. And you're proud about the large chunk of economic activity pissed away on exploding toys that will at best sit in storage for a while before they're scrapped or at worst, kill people in wars that never should have been. A noble cause indeed, making weapons. The guy who you responded to probably has some scummy job where he helps people for a non-ridiculous price and doesn't even get others killed in the process.

    Are you going to give me the standard death dealer response about sleeping fine on giant piles of money? I do at least admire the honesty of that response.

    Would it be distasteful to make a joke about the repeal of DADT and the infamous volleyball scene?

  5. Re:good. on Sequester Grounds Blue Angels · · Score: 1

    Considering the exposure they get, $100K a show is very cheap as advertising rates go.

    $100k sounds like a very low figure to me, that might be just the fuel costs...all military aircraft spend multiple hours in the shop for each hour in the air.

  6. Re:In other news... on Climate Change Will Boost Plane Turbulence, Suggests Study · · Score: 1

    You link me to a 100% un-cited article that simply pretends oceanic heating is not a real thing, in response to a well-cited article that points out the very facts you're ignoring?

    Get the fuck outta here.

  7. Re:B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T!!!!! on Climate Change Will Boost Plane Turbulence, Suggests Study · · Score: 1

    Because I do know how to use Google I know that the study was shot down almost immediately. The people behind it realized their mistakes. Yet you think the fact that this was ever published overturns the majority opinion in the scientific community at the time, suggests that this mistake can never be taken back and can forever ride on the reputations of the publishers, and apparently that all crackpot predictions of an imminent ice age are legitimized by proxy...no wonder your reasoning, and by extension your understanding of science, is so fucked up.

  8. Dangerous? Hah on The Search Engine More Dangerous Than Google · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There are some more dangerous than this that don't put silly search limitations on their users and are geared specifically for black hat use.

    Your post doesn't address mine. You've referenced some general atmospheric effects of CO2 and aerosols, I was talking about the '70s "global cooling" scare:

  10. Re:False Memory Syndrome? on Climate Change Will Boost Plane Turbulence, Suggests Study · · Score: 1

    The CIA funded studies on killing goats by staring at them and using psychic powers to spy on the Russians too.

    And I'm sure anyone else you've shared your "not getting hotter now" belief with would have corrected you and you just choose to continue ignoring what science has to say, much like the CIA researchers.

  13. Re:False Memory Syndrome? on Climate Change Will Boost Plane Turbulence, Suggests Study · · Score: 4, Informative

    You were studying ecology and didn't know those predictions were nonsense made by a crackpot? The "Ice Age scare" was about as popular in the scientific community as the 2012 Mayan apocalypse theories.

  14. Re:HSR on Climate Change Will Boost Plane Turbulence, Suggests Study · · Score: 1

    Not turbulence like on an aircraft, but it could cause the train to rock back and forth a bit. Trains do have the benefit of a suspension system.

  15. Re:Global warming and rails don't mix on Climate Change Will Boost Plane Turbulence, Suggests Study · · Score: 2

    If only the rails had small gaps in them to allow for thermal expansion...it's too bad we don't have such Star Trek technology. Rails could even be installed in places that experience the massive temperature changes between winter and summer! Imagine that!

  16. Re:HSR on Climate Change Will Boost Plane Turbulence, Suggests Study · · Score: 1

    If the made-up bogeymen on Fox News can be real and common, then something a real live person was videotaped actually saying can sure as hell be popular belief!

  17. Re:Grass-fed beef? on No Such Thing As a Tax-Free Lunch At Google? · · Score: 1

    Feeding cows with grass uses more land and makes them fart more:

    http://www.opb.org/news/blog/ecotrope/which-is-greener-grass-fed-or-grain-fed-beef/

    But that's only half of the story. A lot of rainforest clearing is done to give cattle room to graze - not to grow corn to feed them with.

    That's probably the most enviro-unfriendly food on the planet.

    That's very unlikely to work in academia but there's a good chance it will work on your average half-witted HR department.

    True, Ronald Reagan deserves credit for winning an economic drinking game with the USSR, they couldn't hold their debt as well as the USA!
