you'd have seen that the problem is not Alcohol, it's high intensity people who routinely work to the limits.
Well then, it would seem that NASA's selection criteria for astronauts needs to be tweaked, then. Astronauts are a component in a very complex system, and if they prove to be unreliable, then they need to engineer another selection process. Maybe they should adjust their selection criteria to exclude people likely to drink the night before and maybe choose someone with some self-control.
not a single one was smiling. Aren't they there to have fun?
Why is it required that one grin like an imbecile while 'having fun'? For example, look at a biker on a Harley Davidson. They generally look like someone took a mighty big piss in their corn flakes that morning. But I bet they sure are 'having fun' or however you would insist on phrasing it.
No, it's not surprising. No one is saying it is a 'surprise'. It's just that water has never been detected outside of our planet, scientifically, and that's kind of cool.
BTW, my GF just discovered that her 3-year old iPod Mini is now a $200 paperweight because they don't even offer the battery replacement for it anymore...
Google "ipod mini battery" will return, oh, about a gazillion third parties which will replace that battery.
I do not know if it is a fair arguing against GDP, but knowing that the US military has got 40% of the total world gross expenditure is scarry, for a nation which was not attacked in its territory by other nation in the last 100 years
'Scarry' for who? Not for the people living in the US, that's for sure. "Not attacked by other nations for the last 100 years?" Could the reason be, because they spend "40% of the total world gross expenditure" on military?
Not saying it's right or anything. Just thought I'd connect the dots is all.
Senseless vandalism. Swell. How laudable. Life is tough enough, but how about locking up some wage-earner's cart, after he has suffered under the hands of a sadistic boss, just wanting to get some grub and go home. Delightful.
Somehow I think the universe will get along just fine without us. Perhaps even a bit better.
Ahh, STFU. Do away with humanity, you do away with art, music, science, philosophy, love, etc, etc.
Once we find such things on other planets, then you can say the loss of humanity will be no great loss. But until then, striving to maintain what has been accomplished here is worth doing.
Yeah, I saw the exclamation mark in the title and before even reading which editor posted it, I immediately guessed Zonk. He is exactly well-versed in proper journalistic practices, to put it kindly.
Lewis Black is generally funny, but i don't get that joke at all. KFC is some damn good chicken. One of the finest achievements of American civilization.
Have you seen the mixed martial arts ratings (UFC, K1, etc)? It's wrestling in another guise.
No, not really. Wrestling is an 'exhibition' and the results are pre-determined.
MMA, on the other hand, is state-regulated. In most states, the state boxing commission regulates the sport and has a representative on-hand at every MMA match, and any promoter who got caught fixing a fight the way they do in wrestling would likely lose his license.
FWIW, that sound is the lips of the cartridges rubbing against the frame (it is a snubnose) because it does not happen when it is unloaded. The tolerances are so close that the centrifugal force cause the cartridges to move just enough to the outside of the cylinder to click against the frame.
They also suggest that the ads may be creating problems at the doctor's office, as some people might become convinced they need a particular medication and insist on getting it, rather than leaving the decision to trained medical professionals
Breaking News! The earth has a rich supply of dummies! Most people's so-called thought processes are made up of a patchwork of what their dysfunctional parents thought, what their nee'r do well friends think, what the TV shows thrust upon their half-baked intellects, and whatever bumpersticker philosophies they have managed to absorb while listening slack-jawed to the ones who speak loudest.
There's More! These dummies tend to make dumb decisions about their lives. What to eat, what to smoke, what to drink, how to behave, and, yes, what drugs to ask of their doctors !
What's the obsession with penises in public anyway?
Obviously, you have never read any Freud.
These things aren't funny and they never have been!
Who said they were supposed to be funny? Obviously, you have never watched "Fight Club" where the Durden character spliced sex scenes into family movies in order to be subversive.
So my advice is: Read some Freud, watch Fight Club, and take that pole arm out of your arse.
Comes from my readin' of Moby Dick, it do. The sea is in my blood these days, so it is, so it is. But ye got to give it to me, at least I said 'arrr' and not 'aaargh'. The mark of a true seaman, and not a landlubber, that is. Arrr.
I think what disturbs many people is that this guy obviously does not care about resale value, or getting laid. Anyone who is not interested in either cash or sex, but instead does something just because it is fun, is looked at as deviant by many.
But by pointing out the stupidity of others, don't fall in the trap of becoming a 'snot'. For, as Larry Wall said, "There ain't nothin' in this world that's worth being a snot over"

On many pages the pirateer's hands are in the pictures
Perhaps you mean 'pirate'? 'Pirateer' is not a word ('privateer' is, of course, a word, but clearly not meant here).
No, it's not surprising. No one is saying it is a 'surprise'. It's just that water has never been detected outside of our planet, scientifically, and that's kind of cool.

Douchebag.
Can I use the same argument?
No, because the red light cam's don't record audio. Read the fine article.
Yeah, I saw the exclamation mark in the title and before even reading which editor posted it, I immediately guessed Zonk. He is exactly well-versed in proper journalistic practices, to put it kindly.
I think you should all just cut me some slack here and go ahead and change that
Shut the fuck up, asshole. Here come 5 down mods coming your way, you whining piece of shit.
As it should be - if you want a piece of carbonized meat, burn some hamburger not a good steak.
In your opinion.
The technique (charred on the outside, rare on the inside) is called "pittsburghing" and is a very popular method of preparation.
Lewis Black is generally funny, but i don't get that joke at all. KFC is some damn good chicken. One of the finest achievements of American civilization.
See if these kids ever trust a teacher, or any education employee ever again.
Hey! I was looking for some kind of good that came from this situation, and you pointed it out! Thanks!

I have a revolver that clicks when the cylinder spins. A Smith & Wesson 640, a 5 shot .357 Magnum stainless steel revolver.
It sounds like this
They say that when you see things in someone else you don't like in someone else, it is also your shortcoming
My neighbor beats his wife, bathes once a week, and hosts cockfights, all of which I don't like. How, exactly, is that MY shortcoming?
From the 'Duhhhhh' department:

Arrrr. I despise the use of 'enjoy' in that way. When you see the word used that way, you know the writer is selling something.
