  1. Re:Where's the LOL WUT picture when I need it? on Beneath Africa, Survey Finds 'Huge' Water Reserves · · Score: 1

    Your mileage appears to vary. That Palomar springwater is "even worse" I guess. It tastes like it's pulling molecules off my teeth.
    I like it.

    I'm pretty sure that any country owned by Brown People is screwed the day that anything (oil,minerals, Rhino horns) is discovered.

    Congrats, you win the pertinent point award. I had to scroll down quite a ways to find your post, what, did all the Aussies go to bed already? They alluded to it in the article when the scientists said that this might not be the solution that they need for this problem.

    IMHO that Fiji water is the tastiest I've had except for Mount Palomar water, which I haven't seen anywhere outside Los Angeles. That said, I generally drink from the Tap.

    They will have to build it themselves if it doesn't lead directly from the mine to the container-port.

    How exactly can you say that they are going to design the pipeline adequately, when they won't acknowledge that they fucked up the last one.
    Oh, BTW, I think I'm entitled to a little hypocrisy since they're running the fucking thing through my yard. There's no good reason to fuck the Skeena Watershed, there's less stunt-engineering involved in going down the Fraser to the existing seaports on the coast. That's if you want to finish off the job we started with the bold, new atmospheric Carbon levels. YMMV.

  9. Re: Canadian Beer on Canadian Bureacracy Can't Answer Simple Question: What's This Study With NASA? · · Score: 1

    In my limited experience, I can get some pretty adequate brews as much as say 700 miles away from the source. I don't really subscribe to the theory that big is bad, its all about recipe and freshness. I've been drinking Stone's Sublimely Self-Righteous lately, as I can get it it fresher than Sierra's Bigfoot here the backwater of Least Contra Costa County (Bigfoot season is over for 2012, but it stays drinkable for quite a while, just not as good as those first weeks in February.) I can get Stone up in Ashland, OR, and that's almost 800 miles from San Diego.

    Thanks, yes, I'm serious. The distribution is weak, probably have to go over the border to try them. Thanks.

    That's not oil, its high-pressure asphalt, "liquified" with added solvent, but the pipeline is designed for lower pressure oil, and they want to run it alongside the fastest-flowing river in British Columbia, since the Kalamazoo was too sluggish to promote a truly world-class catastrophe. Canada is aiming to take their rightful place in the headlines.

    It must be a great comfort to you that the media doesn't do anything as abhorrent as publicizing or furthering any sort of libertarian agenda.

    She got traded to the majors and they brought up their second string. Evidently not much depth in the lineup.

  15. Was Clinton a spy? on FBI Says American Universities Infiltrated by Spies · · Score: 1

    "This paper is unclassified and fulfills part of the FBI's goal of building awareness with public and private entities about counterintelligence risks and national security issues."
    "...the FBI concludes that only a small percentage of foreign students or visiting professors are actively working at the behest of their government or other organizations."
    IIRC, W.J.Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, Prolly sent by C.I.A. to infiltrate British academia for exploitation by corrupt running dog capitalists.
    "The FBI is mandated to protect the nation from internal and external threats."
    AFAICT this is a PR release from the FBI to remind people that they used to deal with this shit, long before the DHS was cloned from some paranoid phreak's nocturnal emission. A big dose of FUD from the Department of Paranoia. Or maybe just a nice Mission Structure Outline for any under-capitalized spy organization that hadn't already thought of this stuff decades ago.

  16. Re:Predictable on North Korea Shows Off Space Center and Launches Missile · · Score: 1, Troll

    I'm sad I missed that (damn job!) The North Koreans are real cut-ups, ripe for some mockery. Anyone who takes them seriously, aside from the occasional commando raid or whatever, is over-estimating. If they went to war with anyone, they would need total support from China or someone, and the Chinese are having too much fun fucking us economically. If the Chinese sucker us into a war, it'll probably be with Iran, but I don't see why they need to crush us that badly. Revenge?

  24. Re:INSIDE THE CONTAINMENT CHAMBER on Japan's Damaged Reactor Has High Radiation, No Water · · Score: 1

    I'm not too familiar with the equipment at issue, but aside from temperatures, excessive radiation also does cause some crystallographic defects which causes embrittlement of steel and so on, so all of this is relative to the amount of fuel for the reaction, &c. Just a modest response to all you "it'll not exceed our safety design, never-never for certain, so go to sleep now little ones..." types.
    I have heard that the quantity of fuel up for further mishap is quite substantial, but who knows with all the smoke-and-mirrors which outcome is most likely this time.
