I second that! The Magic Hat brewery is as essential to my yearly snowboarding tour of the east coast as the mountains! Though the stuff is easy enough to find here in MD, it tastes best from a gallon glass jug direct from the brewery.
I've had too many skunked bottles of "premium" beers to continue being snobbish about it.
It took me a long time to wrap my hard head around this one, but it is an unfortunate fact of life.
I keep seeing all these comments on the blog about all that He has done for us, what He has bestowed upon us, that He has given us this sun for light and heat and beauty...
I really think H should get more of the credit though. He is merely a byproduct.
Uhh...that's because he deserves to be punished. He committed a crime, end of story. Just because she might have been doing something unlawful herself does not entitle him to the right to violate federal law with impunity. This isn't difficult to figure out.
Nail 'em both to the wall then. This is the same reason I get pissed off when police officers around here get a free pass when it comes to these ridiculous speed cameras. This is the whole reason people lose faith in these systems!
I don't think I would classify the above as a troll. It's not inflammatory in any way unless disagreeing with your point of view is trolling.
Interestingly this implies you had faith in all of the above to begin with. For myself I trust government (any government) about as far as I can throw it. It's a necessary evil though, the trick is giving it just enough power to do what needs to be done, and not an ounce beyond that (same for the legal system).
Parent literally says that he wants to give the government enough power to do what it needs to do. Any more is by definition too much power, and any less, too little. Where's the problem here?
Unfortunately lawyers and judges have been running our country for far too long, and our legal and government systems show it.
Which is why I can synthesize complex molecules in a lab, but I would invariably screw up my taxes every year without an attorney or software.
Fun fact, one of the only major professions without a legal salary cap is an attorney. Think about that and consider the implications.
OK, as the sibling post says, this is actually the rule rather than the exception here in the US.
Personally I forgot it happened until I saw this story. At least the trial should bring this back out into the open... But my guess is that nothing will happen to Palin and this guy will get punished. Sorry, I'm just your typical American who has lost a great deal of faith in our government, economy, and legal system.
I respectfully disagree. I think we should make it physically impossible for youth to make bad decisions instead of teaching them safe habits and common sense. After all, it's easier to just buy supervision.
Seriously though, my dog doesn't cross the invisible fence line even when her electric collar is off, but she's a damn dog.
That said, there are areas which have NO BROADBAND. My parents' house, as an example. It's about six miles outside town, and won't get broadband within the lifetime of the universe, if only market forces apply. Hence an equivalent to the Rural Electrification Act.
That's my point. If your parents were willing to pay enough, they could get broadband. They don't think it's worth paying, so why should we pay for them?
Maybe they want it but can't afford it? Well, sucks to be them. Wanting something really bad doesn't give them the right to force other people to buy it for them. I want a Rolls Royce, a beach front mansion and a trophy wife, that doesn't mean the government should buy them for me.

That might be why they mentioned the Rural Electrification Act. If we care about advancing our society, usable (for modern applications) speeds of internet access should be as widely available as possible. Really we're paying for the infrastructure so we have the privilege of getting charged out the rectum for the service by our corporate overlords. It's not perfect, but it's something.
Seriously, I DARE them to try and find digital information that I really want to keep secret.
I write my terrorist plots in notepad, then save them as README.TXT Reverse psychology ftw. Sometimes, when I'm really feeling clever, I rename them to "untitled.bmp"

My father thinks he is God, but you don't see anyone writing books about him.
Sometimes I wonder how many of the low UIDs are just scripts that search for conversations relating to UID number!

It's not a gimmick - it's real science. If it didn't do something so amazing, could they afford to do this?
Yeah, but OR isn't exclusive.
Well I assumed he was being vague, but not necessarily with the intent to start something.

The powers that be thank you, dear consumer with the attention span of a kitten in a chicken plucking factory.
Yes I apologize, but in my defense it is quite hard to keep track of everything that is wrong with this campaign.

Yes, SMALL.

Only in North America.
This drives me as crazy as the people who leave the cloudy plastic film on their electronics' displays.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it rocks absolutely too.
I think it's interesting that when China did this during the Olympics, THEN it was a huge controversy and human rights issue.

I don't get it. It just took me to a page on the emachines website.
How about a nice game of chess?
