    Dunkin Donuts has hot coffee. I regularly hear people asking for ice with their coffee to cool it down.

    Personally, I let it sit in its to-go cup for at least 30 minutes before I start drinking it.

  7. Re:Great! More hipster hate. on The Math Behind the Hipster Effect · · Score: 2

    Another clue that hipsters have nothing interesting to say is their proclivity for using unconventional typography--such as eschewing capitalization--to draw attention away from the vacuity and falsehood of so much of what they say.

    I want to turn this sentence into a song.

    A farmer is prosecuted for growing wheat on his farm for use on his farm, on the grounds he should be forced to sell or buy on the broader market.

    The logic went, a farmer is prosecuted for growing wheat on his farm for use on his farm, on the grounds that growing for personal use means he's not purchasing or selling wheat on the interstate markets.

  20. Re:A piece of aluminum was found in the Pacific? on Researchers Claim Metal "Patch" Found On Pacific Island Is From Amelia Earhart · · Score: 1

    Reasonable distance would matter based on time you have for the wreckage to drift. What they have is a dating of when the metal was likely produced but not necessarily when it washed ashore. It was discovered in 1991. So you're talking a top end of 46-50 years for debris. Nikumaroro Island rests in the South Pacific Gyre which rotates counter clockwise in the South Pacific between New Zealand and South America. The East Australia current feeds into the southern portion of the SP Gyre.

    I'd suspect that the major engagement most likely to lead to debris that could show up on Nikumaroro Island would be the Battle for Coral Sea. Debris from there could have hit the East Australia Current, got fed into the SP Gyre and then ended up on Nikumaruru. I don't know how long that would take.

  24. Re:Meh.... Here's the thing ..... on Ebola Forecast: Scientists Release Updated Projections and Tracking Maps · · Score: 1

    Realistically, you don't even need restrictions on traffic TO countries with outbreaks if you're being selective on which traffic you're permitting FROM the country. If you allow flights out for medical personnel who have been screened for infection the civilian traffic will dry up of its own accord. People aren't going to fly to Liberia to be stuck there. Some still may and catch a flight to Spain then hop over.

    As far as I can tell, they're worried that restricting traffic to/from countries like Liberia will have an economic impact due to a lock down on exports from the outbreak countries. A country like Liberia makes most of its money from exports so halting exports would reduce the funds it would have to fight and recover from ebola. Additionally, the lower supply of goods may temporarily drive up the prices on some things.

    I think it's all foolish though. There's no reason to restrict flights inbound to an outbreak countries so there's no reason that a restriction should impact the delivery of medical supplies and support personnel. The loss of income for an outbreak country due to restrictions on imports from that country shouldn't matter from a "handling and recovering" standpoints. It's in the world's interest to contain it so providing funds, supplies, and personnel to assist and outbreak country is a natural outcome.
