    Maybe 90%... you wouldn't want to operate machinery

    I can tell you've never hung out with machinists. Smoking pot doesn't affect your ability to operate machinery any more than it affects your ability to play Street Fighter or Call of Duty.

    The few potheads I've seen who have been smoking pot more-or-less on a daily basis for several years are themselves rather definite proof that smoking pot DOES affect your ability to, well, do almost anything.

    Yes, yes...focus on what you can't do and never mind what you can, like possibly cure cancer, at least make the allopathy flim flam more tolerable. Since the destruction of any and all trees for the pulp industry can be counter-acted by fast growing hemp, the production of high quality protein, let alone a renewable resource for bio-diesel, plastics and what have you. It's time to tell the Big Pharma, Oil, Cotton, Wood pulp industries to go screw themselves.

  2. Re:So they sacked them too early on Lawsuit Claims Sony Canned Security Staff Just Before Data Breach · · Score: 1

    Or they sacked them because the breach was done years ago and the higher ups saw that their sec team was completely incompetent.

    Regardless of why and how I firmly believe that the breach was wide open well before it got publicly known.

    I am sure that is what most execs would like to believe, however, their arrogance usually knows no bounds. Being so full of themselves, they obviously bit off more than they could chew.

    Please cite the metric you use to support your use of the word "more". [waits through extended awkward silence...] Ah..., I see. You were just blowing smoke about all those bad government people "like Wiener". Sounds like partisan bullshit to me. How's about we address the real issue, m'kay?

    My silence is due to a lack of readily available access to the internet, but since you ask for citations, here's one, and here's another one.

    There is now an unrestricted flow of money from corporations (domestic and international) that is completely subverting our political process. The interests of the American people are a distant second.

    I was taught as a child that you clean from the top, down. When the voters realize that they are responsible for the politician's behavior, then, maybe, the voters will take the initiative to recall these bastards. However, not all politicians are bastards, but the few that are not, are outweighed by the many that are.
    The outrageous behavior, in my humble opinion, is to provoke the populous into actions that will incur the re-establishment of martial law. The ability of the voters to recall any and all politicians is something that is not talked about because of the power that it gives the voter, and the one thing that the civil masters don't want us to know is that the "VOTER" has the authority, the power, and the responsibility to place these "masters" back in their place as Civil Servants.
    Remember, the voters pay their outrageous salaries, health care for life, as well as payoffs, kickbacks and graft from the corporate environment, since the voter/consumer pays the overly priced products to support the corporate graft and greed..

    How about an app that lets these career criminal politicians know when their two terms are up.
    Or an app that keeps a running total of all graft accepted from corporate gangsters and banksters.
    And/or an app that counts all the lies these bastards tell without blinking their eyes.
    Or how about an app that counts the days remaining until all American soldiers come home so they can kick some political ass and get these crooks out of office. Radical? I think not!

  9. the missing option on International Monetary Fund Hit By Cyber Attack · · Score: 1

    The banksters themselves could be the cause and the reason. Only the banksters have reason to lose money that cannot be traced. By blaming some unknown "enemy", these banksters use the classic maneuver of mis-direction. No one would expect a den of thieves, liars and charlatans to steal from themselves and then claim not knowing their system that has been in place for hundreds of years.

    I think letting pseudo-sci-fi action flicks to set technology and engineering guidelines is neither sane nor practical.

    This is a jet pack. It was developed by Bell Helicopters in the late 60's.Since there seems to be little information on the power plant it's difficult to critique the system. This design was prior to the T-400 jet engine that is used on the Blackhawk helicopter. I believe the T-400 would be a better power plant.

    The Federal Dogs of Avarice do nothing more than rubber stamp their money bag handlers. Look at the commercials on TV that hawk drugs that play down the adverse side effects like blindness, heart attacks, blood clotting, your asshole falling out, oh yeah also that unimportant issue of a slight case of death.
    If big pharma can't patent it, they make sure it's outlawed. That's why medical marijuana will never be federally legalized or that things like MMS will never be investigated let alone approved. As long as GREED remains in the forefront of de-population tactics, people are on their own when it comes to health care.

    The flow is soil -> house -> outside. Speeding up step 2 is how you decrease the radon level in your house. Slowing down step one is not practical--you would have to replace the soil under your house. An inversion layer (unless in your basement) is irrelevant.

    An inversion layer of warm air is capped by a layer of cold air thus keeping the warm and any elements in the air close to the ground. This is what set off the air sampling detectors at the nuclear facility where I trained.
