  1. i dont understand on Up Next... Skypecasting · · Score: 0

    I answer this guy's question
    and am a troll instead of informative?
    Each of my answers can be easily checked and are right.
    He asked, i answered.
    His question were trolling and not the least insightful. Or did they make you think?
    It is not insightful to think that the sports of Rugby has to do with a rug, or the sports of golf with a car brand

    Funny that Billiards is called that, when the game rarely involves the paying of bills.

    Because it is not about "bills", as in "little pieces of paper that show you how much you have to pay for goods or services", but derrives from the french word "bille" (you had an idea that billard is from France, didnt you?), wich means "log", or "narrow stick". Doesnt need rocket science to figure out that the stick that is now being called "queue" (hell, another french word again) is meant.

    Funny that Rugby is called that, when the game rarely involves a rug.

    No, it comes out of Rugby, the public school in Warwickshire where the game was first played.

    Funny that Golf is called that, when the game rarely involves German cars.

    Wich might be, because it derrived from the Dutch "kolve", wich means "club".
    The German car, btw, has it's name from the golf stream.

    Funny that Hockey is called that, when there is little hocking
    The word is the French "hoquet", wich is the bent sheperds' staff.


    You get my point, I trust?
    No, sorry, i lost your point. what was it? and who modded you insightful?

    Just one simple question that i hope you will take the time to answer:

    Do you consider your way of spelling cool?
    Is this, how the in-crowd does it today?
    Do you mark yourself as up-to-date-hip person, by spelling wrong on purpose?

    I really hope you, the author, can give me some insight into your
    motivation to use this horrible and utterly wrong spelling. There has
    to be a good reason for you to do this and i am curious to read about it.

  9. Re:Is it true? on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1, Informative

    Easy to answer, as my dad served on a mine seeker in a small fleet pack together with a sub and two destroyers with tubes and his own ship had tubes too.
    Leaving subs this way is actually a common thing for special forces all around the globe. Normally, as already mentioned in another answer, you open inside, the man crawls in, the hatch is closed, the tube is floated, the outer hatch opened and out you crawl. Not for the claustrophobic one.
    You can actually shoot the man out. The pressurized water that makes the torpedo leave the tube is too much under pressure for a man, but as the pressure has to be adjustable to different torpedos, warheads.....ergo weights, one can trick around. My dad says a skilled operator could back then shut down the pressure building at a right point. I doubt this would get much harder today.

  12. Re:Audio books... in general on Gaiman on MP3 Audio Books, Mirrormask · · Score: 0
    Yes, i really use audio books. I couldnt say that i "prefer it to page flipping". But there are times in trains and subway and busses, when i am too short of time in the vehicle, have often change of lines or simply cant expect to find a seat. All these things making it rather annoying to take out the book. For that my trusty 20th anniversary Sony Walkman does a good job.

    Some books work better on audio than others.
    For me one kind even does better on audio than on paper for me (and i am being purely blasphemic here, as i worship books): I never was a fan of biographies. But on audio, spoken by the person in question, they do work.
    I own as such:

    "On writing, a memoir of the craft" by Stephen King

    ...Which is effectivly a model, based on the ak-47, but made into a high class sniper rifle. But as i wanted to tell the parent poster that it is not just an "ak-47 with a scope", i am practically on your side.

    Not few people think of the SVD as one of or THE best sniper rifle. I personally would kill to have one (but a real, not a chinese rebuilt)

    1. Europeans who have visited America tell me that Europeans males can unshamefully rent various kinds of porn.

    boy, thouse here, who come from the porn section are as shamefull, redheaded, looking to their feet as anywhere.

    -Proviso #1, there *are* shameful forms of porn as well, e.g. Shit Porn in Germany.

    lol it makes me wonder why scat porn should be more or less shamefull then any other and why that is said about Germany. I didnt see if people renting porn with pregnant women were less shamefull. There is really no difference in the renting behaviour of different kinds of porn.

    -Proviso #3, shy or shame-ridden men exist everywhere.

    that is the point. Europeans are not less shamefull in renting porn then you US guys.

    I could give detailed examples, but I dislike your condescending tone, so I'm done.

    i am sorry to have insulted you, but i really dont understand, where the americans got the idea, that we are that different about that subject. If you hear some guys, you could think we fuck on the plain open grass in public parcs in front of kids and elders and sell strap-on dildos at Wal-Mart.......most likely next to the milk
