    I bought 4 while drunk. Are there tricks or something? Surely they can't be this boring. At least the pet rock gave you a focus for your affection. And the guy made a million bucks.

    Mailing DVDs as a substitute for broadband? You, sir, are worse than Hitler.

    What do other regions of the world use?

    HTST (high temp, short time). It makes the milk tastes burnt, but they don't know any better and it'll keep for a long time at room temperature a day as long as you keep the box sealed.

    The US uses UHT, which is lower temperature for a longer time and retains flavor.

    You get a bucket full of them (say, 10 trillion), weigh it on the bathroom scale then subtract the weight of the bucket and divide what's left by 10 trillion. Voila, the weight of 1 proton.

    A bathroom scale is only accurate at several kg+, and a kilo of protons is closer to 10 trillion buckets of 10 trillion protons each. The hard part is counting them.

    Are you cool with getting rid of tax exemption for all "non-profits"?

    "All" is a strong word. If a non-profit acts in the public interest, there's an argument for exempting it from taxes. Food banks, homeless shelters, and the like are plainly done for the good of humanity. When it builds giant restricted-access granite buildings to baptize dead people, why do I have to subsidize it?

  25. Re: Evergreen State on In America, Most Republicans Think Colleges Are Bad for the Country (chronicle.com) · · Score: 2

    I thought about this one as well, but in America we have the separation of church and state. We also have a core value that's stuck with us since the Boston Tea Party: "No taxation without representation". Now what happens if we tax churches? We have to represent them.

    The Founders did not anticipate churches incorporating and expecting to be supported by the public. Churches already have representation through their members. And somewhere out there, the next Mohammed "Moroni" McVeigh is getting indoctrinated in a church "charter" school, and I'm helping to pay for it against my will. The State now has many official religions, which flies in the face of the intent of the Establishment Clause.
