WIC is such a small part of the federal budget that it doesn't make any difference. It follows the pattern of everything else that's been "shut down." Nothing that actually costs the government enough money to make a difference has been affected: the military is still out killing brown people, people are still getting their medicare, it's just a few high-profile things like WIC, like the national monuments to cause enough of a stir. Naturally, Republicans are blaming Obama and Democrats are blaming the Republicans, keeping the status well and truly quo.
I could imagine that the NSA might create a super-secure system for themselves, yet release a sublty-hacked version for the public. This would then give them a slightly more focused area on which to spy (don't need to spy on the people who don't care about privacy/security cause you can just read their facebook.) I do start to worry about myself becoming a conspiracy theorist when I do that, but the more I hear the more I realise that shit isn't right.
Look, clearly you are mistaken somewhere. Obama is getting criticized for doing exactly what Bush did. We didn't like it when Bush did it, and we don't like it now, but we thought that Obama would at least try to stop it. Just because we're criticizing Obama doesn't mean we automatically like Bush, or think that McCain/Romney would be doing better.
I thought that the fact you boiled the water in preparing the beer was responsible for most of the sanitizing, as opposed to the alcohol. The alcohol probably helps in the storage, not letting any new bacteria get in and all that. Beer may have had a lot of uses in the past, but I can't really see why we'd still need it in space. Surely there's something a little more advanced to keep the water clean without getting people drunk, and converting your oxygen into carbon dioxide.
Have you ever read a book called "The Sacred Art of Stealing"? It kinda changed my perspective when I read it. One of the core principles was that just because you're a criminal doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it.
I think the original GTA had something like that. It's been a while since I've played, so I could be fuzzy, but I remember having to be real careful to not get busted going between missions.
It's why I'm not freaking out as much about climate change as I used to. Eventually we'll get to a point where electric cars etc. will just make the most economic sense. Gasoline will still be available for the niche uses, but it will get more and more expensive so eventually alternatives will be found for everything. Drilling for oil is unlikely to completely die out, but it will get to such a low level that no one will really care.
He didn't specify which military developed them. Anyway the US military refined them from the cool planes the Germans had to the efficient, faster than anything before it and reliable jet engines we know and love today.
It's kinda a similar story to flight. The first spark wasn't intended for the military, but once they found out how useful it would be, they stepped in and developed it from a neat science fair project into the world-changing stuff we see today.
You need to be clear about the envelope you're interested in. The people actually running the coal plants who have to pay for it probably have a very good idea of exactly how much it costs to get the coal from the ground to the furnace and know that they can still make a profit after paying for it.
Fusion isn't commercial yet. There's not real point to worrying about how much all the ancillary stuff is using if you're not going to generate power anyway. Once they've worked out how to make fusion put out power, then we can worry about exactly how much it's putting out, and how to get it to do that most efficiently.
I'm actually surprised fusion is even that popular. I guess there's some overlap with other meaning of the word, like fusion cuisine, or the Ford Fusion.
How badly did you want those fur lined gloves? You've posted about them at least three times, so you must be pretty mad about it. Imagine how people used to get their fur lined gloves before we had the internet...
I grew up with Celsius, and now I live with Fahrenheit. I won't say I prefer Fahrenheit, but I adjusted to it a lot faster than I thought it was. I'm to the point where when I visit home it takes me a little while to get used to how it was when I lived there.
Fracking is still a rather expensive way to get oil out of the ground. Back in the good old days when you could stick a straw in the ground and oil would come out you could sell it for real cheap and still make boatloads of money. When you can sell oil for over $100 per barrel, you can do some pretty crazy shit to get it out and still come out ahead. When it touched $140 I sat in a couple of planning meeting where geologists were talking about (what I thought were) absolutely insane drilling and mining plans to get not much oil out, but for $140 it was worth it.
He could also be referring to the summer and winter games of 1936. That was probably also before you were born, but I'd hope I don't need to send you to a wiki page about Nazi Germany.
In the UK, yeah, the House of Lords is a pretty closed house, but the Westminster system is used in other places too. In Australia we use it, and our senators are voted in every second election (twice the term length of the house.)
If someone posts something exceptionally stupid, I'll go into their history and downmod everything they've posted. I've only done it a couple of times though, it's pretty hard to piss me off that much with a single post.

What a coincidence, that's three words too!
Well, from reading the comments here, I've determined that it has a drill (which has to be operated manually.)
That's exactly what I do, I've got, like, 5 of them.

They should call you Mario, cause you just got 1 up'd.
If you're having perl problems, I feel bad for you, son. I had 99 problems, so I used regular expressions. Now I have 100.
I've always though the sideways 3 looked more like a ballsack than an arse anyway...

Could God create a smartphone so tough even he couldn't break it? Tune in to Mythbusters to find out!
