A properly seasoned cooked steak is the food of the gods. I don't care if it took 10,000 gallons of water to get it to my plate. And my gout be damned!!
Spending on science benefits everybody. Even the military benefits from such research. Where do you think all of those advanced weapon systems come from, lucky guesses?
Kids who grow up in a family that has a car of any kind now are not learning how to drive. Driver education is just about a complete failure. The written tests and road tests to get your license are a joke.
I have about 2 million miles of driving experience and I've just about seen it all. Very few people really know how to drive and phones have made a bad situation worse. I wish they would get off the road and leave the driving to people who know how to do it right.
Instead of self-driving cars we need to have all vehicles equipped with manual transmissions and have real tests of a person's driving ability. I guarantee it would remove 75% of drivers (or more) from the road. Wanta drive, kid? Show how much you want it by learning how or take public transportation.
There have been dozens of significant scientific discoveries made by priests, including your sacred "Big Bang Theory" by Father Georges Edouard Lemaitre.
The Vatican has an observatory in Arizona where the priests are also astrophysicists. I could go on and on, but you can look up all of this for yourself.
Religion is not afraid of science. Why is science so afraid of religion?
I get off my job at 2:30 pm now. How much daylight do I need after work? Five hours? Six hours? No, and it will be dark for the first whole hour of work tomorrow morning and I'll just sit there doing nothing until the sun comes up because I work outside around people's houses. Wow, talk about productivity.
You need to learn who the Archangel Michael really is. He could kick your butt in a fraction of a second. Not exactly a sheep, but more like the fiercest warrior you ever saw.
I've already had a near lethal dose of popcorn today. With the new wikileaks CIA stuff and the new health care bill the GOP has introduced, I've had all the entertainment I can stand.
Rap is chanting to a beat of some kind. That's not music. Maybe, if we're lucky, it will fade away to nothingness like disco did years ago.
Other music genres have gone downhill, too. Autotune has completely ruined pop and rock music. If I wanted to hear a machine sing, I'd listen to a machine.
The only kind of music I listen to nowadays is classical. Hard to fake that.
I have it both ways. I have cable and a hard drive attached to the cable box, and I also have Netflix. I look at Netflix as a huge DVR in the cloud. Whatever is on Netflix is something I don't have to schedule to be recorded on the DVR. Believe it or not I haven't watched every movie ever made and some of those old movies on Netflix are pretty damned good.
The cable box has a built-in DVR, but I bought a much, much larger drive and attached it. Hard drives are ridiculously cheap.
It has been learned that nearly all the traffic jams in the United States are caused by only one driver. Her name is Maude Jones and she's a very active octogenarian. She's been driving since before God was born and she covers a lot of miles, a real surprise since she never goes over 40 mph. Though she's never been in an accident, authorities say she's caused thousands of them.
Personally I think that maybe every city and town has a Maude (or several). She'd have to be Santa Claus to cover the whole country in one day.
Seriously, if the traffic engineers AND politicians would just do their jobs right, traffic would flow 100% better than it does now. Speaking as someone who has driven nearly two million miles, I've seen it all - and it's ugly out there. Roads, highways, intersections, etc are so poorly designed in some places that I just scratch my head and wonder wtf were they thinking.
Subdivisions have been built with no thought as to the increased traffic they produce. Hospitals are built with no thought given to traffic or parking. With businesses and strip malls all over the place our roads have become shopping aisles (think what it's like with shopping carts inside a big-box store). Schools are sometimes located in places where the traffic is already bad. Near where I live are two HUGE high schools that are only five miles apart and empty onto the same two-lane road. It's a nightmare when school lets out in the afternoon. I don't go near them when school starts in the morning.
There is hope though. Rumor has it that Maude is retiring from driving real soon.
It still does. Right now Firefox is using "only" a half a gigabyte of memory, but if I don't restart it within a few hours, it will go to 1 GB, then 1.5 GB, then 2 GB. The machine starts slowing down and it's time to restart Firefox.
I actually use several different browsers depending on what I'm doing online. For example, one is secured down tight for doing banking and buying online, another one is for shopping (but not buying) online (because it's faster), another one is for news and weather (without ads), etc.
Good eye you have there! I work for the Department of Redundancy Department and we're always looking for smart, talented people to fill our ranks. Would you care to send us your resume? There is no pay; it's all volunteer work.
I think we all know that SJWs are full of shit, even if some won't admit it.
This country is based on justice for individuals, not groups. Justice for groups is a recipe for disaster, because the individuals within a group are not all the same. Thinking they are is actually (or should be) an insult to them. Some are just too stupid to realize it.
It also leads to the (wrong) opinion that anyone within a "protected class" can never be wrong about anything. We certainly have seen evidence of that. Brianna Wu is just the one we're discussing today, a real nutcase who has no place in leadership at any level.
I don't know if you've noticed, but print editors are making the same mistakes. Our local newspaper is full of errors, the most common of which is when a word is spelled correctly but is the wrong word. They rely so much on spell check that simple errors slip right by them.
Yep, it passed spell check so it must be right. Print it!
It's a combination of trying to publish something as fast as possible, the lack of a REAL education, and an overall slackness in the work ethic.
Every one of my science professors back in the early 1970s were talking about the possibility of a coming ice age. They were not law professors. They taught chemistry, biology, physics, etc.
I guess they were just spreading rumors and half-truths, but since I didn't read peer-reviewed science journals on a regular basis back then, I pretty much believed them.
Next time he should use a company that knows what the fuck it's doing. Never use the USPS unless there's no other choice. Their tracking is something from the nineteenth century and their employees simply do not care about doing a good job.
USPS - when it absolutely, positively has to be there sooner or later (or not at all).
There are no poor politicians. The ones with less money than the millionaires are just getting started in their careers. Give them time and they'll be rich, too.

Microwave popcorn? Blasphemy!! Buy unpopped kernels and make some real popcorn!
Seriously, microwave popcorn has some strange chemicals you may not want to ingest.

It's still wrong. There should be a comma after traitors, not a semicolon. Where did all of you learn English grammar?

You nailed it. There's nothing left to add.

I know, I know, but it is funny.
I just write the passwords on Post-It notes and stick them to the monitor. :)

Agreed. I would consider them being down a blessing, not a problem.

It's not hate.
It's ridicule.
And it's justified.
Get over it.
