  1. Re:Diapers! on Four Weeks Without Soap Or Shampoo · · Score: 1

    Charcoal? Cat litter?

    "horribly disgusting, like coated with grease (hurrah eastern European heritage)"
    Care to elaborate on the heritage-skin correlation?

  3. Re:Why make a journalist suffer? on Four Weeks Without Soap Or Shampoo · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying that this applies to you in particular, but a lot of people have no idea how to wash jeans properly (hint: lukewarm water, bleach-free detergent).

    Like their children or relatives. Such a nice person you are... So humane... So smart... Just like the terrorists... Such nice people...

    B/c this is capitalism, and such practice isn't illegal?

    39 of the US states have smaller area than Romania. 48 states have less population. That country has been through two world wars, several local ones, two totalitarian regimes and a revolution over the last 100 years. Can you point to any US state or city that has better prices/connections?

  10. It probably depends on... on Your Old CD Collection Is Dying · · Score: 1

    ...the quality of the CDs and whether they were factory or home made since I have some factory made ones from the mid- to late 80s and they are fine.

  11. Re:um on Chernobyl's Sarcophagus, Redux · · Score: 1

    I'd like to read more about that. This is the first time I hear about the "evaporating" lead. As far as I remember it was lead pellets, which did melt, but never evaporated. The boiling point of lead is 3180F. I doubt that the core was hot enough when they started dropping the lead, about 3 days after the meltdown, formation of the corium and the contact with water in the lower levels.

  13. Re:Missing definition on In the US, Rich Now Work Longer Hours Than the Poor · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just get rid of those "buggers"? You don't need those "fucking desk-drones". Just fire them all and pocket the money you have to spend on "wage-drones". You obviously do all the work anyway. Good luck!

  14. Re:That's a strange definition of "rich" on In the US, Rich Now Work Longer Hours Than the Poor · · Score: 1

    Do they get paid the same amount as you do? Will they be paid the same as you in the future? Do they have the same amount of control over the company? Can they fire you for no reason whatsoever and hire somebody else? Can they write off your business expenditures as their own?

    "I'm sitting in the office every day for more than 14 hours a day working to get clients for all of them to even have a job."
    So, you're in it just so that those people could have jobs? How noble and generous of you.

  15. Re:Nail My Kids? on IRS Can Now Seize Your Tax Refund To Pay a Relative's Debt · · Score: 1

    "I moved to Asia and, being overseas, did not owe U.S. any tax money"

    Wrong. You don't owe the US anything only if you renounced your US citizenship.

    Can you really not be able to think of a reason?

    Why not just move your whole business to Bangalore? You wouldn't have to bring in all that talent into the US and it'd obviously be even cheaper for you.

    "There was no option that would have kept Crimea in Ukraine"
    Again, that's a lie. There were two options: join Russia or stay in Ukraine. I saw the photos.

  23. Re:Info? on Russians Take Ukraine's Last Land Base In Crimea · · Score: 1

    That's a lie. The ballot box bulletin (in three languages) had two options:
    1 - joining Russia
    2 - restoring the constitution of 1992 and staying in Ukraine.
    A friend showed me the photos that his friends had taken.
