I've always been a thigh and leg fan myself. Chicken breasts are just too dry and bland. I also think most meat is fine at only 140F. So you're not the only one in your minority.
The only cases of starvation in the last 100 years are cases of extreme child abuse, drug abuse (meth users sometimes starve themselves to death) or people being stranded in the wilderness.
Don't forget about the anorexics. I've known several people who have or had anorexia, all of whom have been hospitalized. People also die from it. Starting to sound like a PSA, I'll shut up now.
To be fair, the pi thing is actually a description of a pool or vat or somthing like that and not a mathematical treatise. On the other hand, the Christians who think pi should be defined as 3 are retarded./not a Christian//slashy slashy///reading fark too much
You might want to consider looking at the Skeptics Annotated Bible. It presents the entire bible, KJV I think, and marks verses of interest. Categories include: Injustice, Absurdity, Cruelty and Violence, Intolerance, Contradictions, Family Values, Women, Good Stuff, Science and History, Prophecy, Sex, Language, Interpretation, and Homosexuality.
Rabbit's tasty. And I know a restaraunt I can get it at in SoCal. Squirrels and guinea pigs are too small to bother with. The spines on a porcupine aren't somthing I care to deal with.
Stone Brewing Company, from San Diego, CA, releases the new Verticle Epic beers every year one day, one month, and one year later than the previous year, e.g. 05/05/05, 06/06/06 etc... Each year they have a contest where homebrewers can make their own versions and compete to see who can make the best replication. Recipes are available here. So Stone gives back to the homebrewing community. I don't work for Stone, but my homebrew club does meet there.
I have to work with these lists, because part of my job is to support a telemarketing system. Nobody told me squat about that on the interview, nevertheless here I am. I've been here long enough to see the lists come into being. It's making telemarketing harder, and all that good stuff.
I also have the misfortune to need to telemarket in two states, one of which has it's own state list. As it happens, we only call five small towns in this state. In order to get access to the State's DNC list we have to purchase it for the entire state. To make matters worse, this state has a very different set of rules.
Oh boo hoo. Cry me a river, sucker. If you don't like telemarketing or having to deal with all the rules, get a different job. There's a special circle of hell reserved for people like you.
And what happened to freecell time? Did that go up? Or chit chat and cell phone usage? How did that time change?
Not every employee can be "productive" 8 hours a day. There are gaps where no work is available to do. What do you want people to do in this time? Stare at the wall, mouths gaping open with a long, sticky, string of drool hanging out?
People gots to do somthing in their spare time. Websurfing is as good as any other time filler.
Well, for me, and keep in mind that I do work in the private sector and not for the government, I could have done all my work for this week in about 5 hours. On the other hand A couple of weeks ago I was productive for about 80% of the time I was at work.
Bathroom breaks are regulated even in the US at some companies, i.e. GEICO. My girlfriend used to work there and had says they used to monitor bathroom breaks and track time out for lunch and such to the second. Employees are forced to purchase a timer so that they do not take too long of a break for lunch or the bathroom. They regulated who you could and could not associate with during breaks. They would also fire you if you got sick and had to take too much time off, even with a doctor's note. Thus, I will never work at GEICO or purchase insurance through them.
You also wouldn't believe the number of movies made with English, Australian, or New Zealand accents that are 'dubbed' into American. I've often found myself watching a movie and realizing that the whole cast is British or from down under, and wondering what the hell happened to their accents.
Name some.
Likewise, sad endings can often destroy a movie at the box office
I find it interesting how many people find bashing religion important enough to post about it here.
If you aren't religious, what do you care if others believe in something higher than themselves ($DEITY)?
Because the believers of assorted religious groups (not all believers or religous groups) have a habit of trying to force their beliefs upon us, e.g. the pledge, missionaries knocking on the door, the teaching of a particular creation myth in public shool, the assumption that everyone around you is a corelionist and wants to participate in your opening prayer, etc. It's not like any of the irreligios are trying to pass legislation to change the pledge to "...one nation, there is no god, indivivisble... I'm not trying to be offensive to you or claim that you all religious people participate in these actions. All I'm trying to say is that, to the irreligious, these actions are disrespectful to our lack of belief, and we want you to stop disrespecting us. We, or at least I, are starting to get really annoyed at the preaching. Most people have heard the "good news" before, and some of us don't buy it. Basically, we just want to be left alone. We don't want to hear about your religion. If you keep your religion personal, I will keep my disbelief personal. I, and I'm sure most irreligious people, don't want to hear what we consider to be bullshit. If we're curious, we'll come to you and let you know. It's not like any of the irreligios are trying to pass legislation to change the pledge to "...one nation, there is no god, indivivisble...
That said, you seem like a pretty reasonable person. Many of us who are irreligious have had some rather bad experience with the religious and can tend to be a bit snippy when your people try to control us.
If Wallmart doesn't want your business, tell them to fuck off and die. There are plenty of other places perfectly willing to provide you the prints you want. And most of them probably spend more time and money maintaining and calibratin gthe machines. Find your local mom and pop photoprinter and ask them to do the prints, as long as you state that you have the rights, they will print, provided there is no clear indication of some professional photographer possesing the rights. At least that's the way I always handled it. I've worked at two, and they both competed on quality, because they couldn't compete on price. The photo techs would QC each and every photo, making sure that the color and density were as good as they could be. You don't find that kind of service at Wallmart where good enough gets a dollar.
As for those two slashdotters who are getting married in the near future, buy the negatives (or digital images)from the photographer. Write your own contract and make him or her sign it. You'll probably have to pay more, but thems the brakes.
Financing is not theft. All killing is not murder. Its really that simple. If you kill to protect, then its not just alright but a very good thing. When the US Government kills people in other nations, its usually to protect Americans. Any logical person would understand that this is perfectly moral.
Not all US military actions can be considered to have made US citizens safer, therefore not all US military actions can be argued to have been taken in self defense. Vietnam, for one, was to prevent the spread of an idea that could not be conclusively shown to cost American lives if left to its own devices. There are also a number of actions taken in Central and South America where US lives were not on the line. In fact, the US has a long history of interfering in other nations right to self determination, e.g. overthorwing the elected ruler of Iran and imposing the Shaw on them.
Actually the prophesy is that Anakin will bring balance to the force. All the Jedi thought that meant he would destroy the Sith, but I think it meant that he was supposed to destroy the Jedi. At the end of Ep. III, the only force users alive are Yoda, Kenobi, Vader, and Palpatine. 2 Sith and 2 Jedi. And so the prophesy was fulfilled, though not as the Jedi expected.
Somewhat offtopic I suppose, but what I've always wanted to see in Google is something where you can search for some word or phrase and another word or phrase within x words of the primary phrase. For example, primary search is Brian Cohen and secondary search is terrorist with an x value of 10 returns only results like "[b]Brian Cohen[/b], a known member of the People's Front of Judea, a [b]terrorist[/b] organization that recently... That would be cool.
I don't know... I got my latest job without sending a cover letter to the company. Hell, I didn't even send a resume. The job came and attacked like a lion stalking a gazelle. Here I was, trying to avoid work and collect unemplo...errr recoup my taxes, and out of nowhere, this company called me up and asked me if I was looking for work and if I would like to come in for an interview on Thursday. I couldn't refuse, otherwise I would jeopardize my tax recovery plan. Doing my best to fail the interview and yet maintain integrity, i.e. I didn't care how I answered questions because I didn't really want the job,... and I managed to land it. Oh the humanity! I was put into such a horrible bind. I couldn't refuse, because I would lose my tax recuperation scheme, and I didn't want to take it because I would lose my tax recuperation scheme.
In the end, my inner prostitute won out, because she would rather have a warm bed and a belly full of meat and beer, than a belly partially filled with top ramen and shivering in the streets.
So in summery, my latest job hunting experience has been... try to avoid work and work will find you. YMMV.
For all the people out their claiming that gameplay beats graphics anyday, I highly recommend checking out the Geneforge series. I recently played the demo for the first one, and I loved it. I'm going to Fry's soon so I can pick it up, provided they have it. Anyhow, I spent about 8 hours playing it on Saturday, with no intention of doing that whatsoever. I woke, turned it on thinking I would play for an hour or two, and realized that over eight hours had passed and I hadn't eaten anything since I woke up. I haven't had that sort of gaming experience in many years.
So to recap, if you like RPGs, and you prefer a great story and gameplay then check out this series. The graphics are reminescent of early 90's stuff. You can download demos of the series which cover about a quarter of the game.
You're thinking of oxycontin, a.k.a., hillbilly heroin, and Rush's drug of choice. What they use here is oxitocin, a neurotransmitter associated with bonding, orgasms, and the milk let down response.

>Windows have the distinct disadvantage of being very poor insulation,
double paned or triple paned windows, pretty common actually

Special coatings are available to block out UV light. I've got them on my glasses. Also check out low e glass.
