"The 163 pounds of uranium she consumed is estimated to have provided the equivalent power of nearly 29 million gallons of fuel oil."
That just put everything in perspective. Holy hell. For the amount of money you saved you could hire a small army to arm your vehicle. US Government could nationalize some ships.
So where does torn ligaments fall on that scale? There's quite a bit of gray area that people get auto insurance for.
You can get insurance for cracked windshields. Not exactly catastrophic but not something like an Oil Change.
I've torn 3 ACLs, 1 UCL and separated a shoulder genetically my family has hard as rock bones and weak ligaments. (No one under my grandma has ever broken a bone, but most of the active males have torn their ACL.) Not exactly catastrophic...
I'm tired of television announcers, hosts, newscaster, and commentators, nibbling away at the English language, making obvious and ignorant mistakes.

The English word forte, meaning "specialty" or "strong point," is not pronounced "for-tay." Got that? It is pronounced "fort." The Italian word forte, used in music notation, is pronounced "for-tay," and it instructs the musician to play loud: "She plays the skin flute, and her forte [fort] is playing forte [for-tay]." Look it up. And don't give me that whiny shit, "For-tay is listed as the second preference." There's a reason it's second: because it's not first!
Irony deals with opposites; it has nothing to do with coincidence. If two baseball palyers from the same hometown, on different teams, receive the same uniform number, it is not ironic. It is a coincidence. If Barry Bonds attains lifetime statistics identical to his father's it will not be ironic. It will be a coincidence. Irony is "a state of affairs that is the reverse of what was to be expected; a result opposite to and in mockery of the appropriate result." For instance:
* If a diabetic, on his way to buy insulin, is killed by a runaway truck, he is the victim of an accident. If the truck was delivering sugar, he is the victim of an oddly poetic coincidence. But if the truck was delivering insulin, ah! Then he is the victim of an irony.
* If a Kurd, after surviving bloody battle with Saddam Hussein's army and a long, difficult escape through the mountains, is crushed and killed by a parachute drop of humanitarian aid, that, my friend, is irony writ large.
* Darryl Stingley, the pro football player, was paralyzed after a brutal hit by Jack Tatum. Now Darryl Stingley's son plays football, and if the son should become paralyzed while playing, it will not be ironic. It will be coincidental. If Darryl Stingley's son paralyzes someone else, that will be closer to ironic. If he paralyzes Jack Tatum's son that will be precisely ironic.
I'm tired of hearing prodigal being used to mean "wandering, given to running away or leaving and returning." The parable in the Book of Luke tells of a son who squanders his father's money. Prodigal means "recklessly wasteful or extravagant." And if you say popular usage has changed that, I say, fuck popular usage!
The phrase sour grapes does not refer to jealousy or envy. Nor is it related to being a sore loser. It deals with the rationalization of failure to attain a desired end. In the original fable by Aesop, "The Fox and the Grapes," when the fox realizes he cannot leap high enough to reach the grapes, he rationalizes that even if he had gotten them, they would probably have been sour anyway. Rationalization, that's all sour grapes means. It doesn't mean deal with jealousy or sore losing. Yeah, I know you say, "Well many people are using it that way, so the meaning is changing." And I say, "Well many people are really fuckin' stupid too, shall we just adopt all their standards?"
Strictly speaking, celibate does not mean not having sex, it means not being married. No wedding. The practice of refraining from sex is called chastity or sexual abstinence. No fucking. Priests don't take a vow of celibacy, they take a vow of chastity. Sometimes referred to as the "no-nookie clause."
And speaking of sex, the Immaculate Conception does not mean Jesus was concieved in the

Diesel doesn't vaporize as easily. So when you do approach the fire to light it you're not going to blow yourself up.
All it takes is a piece of newspaper 1/2 soaked in diesel fuel and it'll light up. Diesel sticks to things better (and won't evaporate) and it has a higher BTU content.
When did all of this change? I honestly don't remember all this crap on either side when I was in it.
I was a Boyscout from '96 to '00. I went camping almost every month. I've been to Philmont. Boyscout camp every summer. I think I've learned more from that organization about live than anywhere else. I have a camp stove and fuel in my car. When I drove from LA to IN and IN to DC after graduation to 'see the country'. I would regularly eat pasta or any thing else I could cook up. (Get some eggs/bacon and have a proper breakfast instead of McDonalds).
I learned to blow things up properly. I can set up a tent in the dark (and now half drunk). I can build a fire using a single match and stuff I gathered. I know what bark to look for for starting fire after the rain. I can cook with cast iron (and at home I use nothing else). For competition we'd boil eggs in paper cups (paper won't burn below the water line). Carried sleds on years global warming made Klondikes suck. Snow shoe, canoe, swim, shoot, high rope climb, I could go on.
When I went to college I ran into some "city boys" that had no clue how to start a fire.
Their idea was gasoline (stupid, diesel is better) and a torch. I suppose it would have worked, but there's a finesse in starting fires with a single match, or a bow drill, or flint and steel. It's like doing in assembly what some people use Java for.
The only thing was our local troop met in the basement of a Methodist church.
I can't wait until I have sons so I can get back into scouting (if they're interested).
I suppose towards the end of my tenure we got a new Scoutmaster. No more fires over X size. We bought those Walmart popup rain flies instead of using the WWII ones that took 12 guys to setup. (And lasted 80 years longer than the walmart ones). Sort of killed it for me, plus all my friends were a year older and when they left not as entertaining. And the biggest thing that killed it was council 'from the top' decree that Camouflage was banned. How were you supposed to properly hide during capture the flag?
Race engines have to last 500 miles at most. The largest problem with rotary engines is the seals and while they might work great for races, they might not make it to 500k in the real world.
Although look at the restrictions Lemans is putting on the Audi Diesels. Both cars took either 1st or 2nd in every race they entered last year.
1) It all depends on how your fractal column is setup. Diesel is easier to refine as it is lower on the column. 2) "Marginal increase in efficiency". I can get 40-50-60 MPG out of my car that is 10 years old. I had a 86 diesel, 22 years old that got 50 MPG. Identical cars (and I had them) only got 30 at most. 3) "Carbon speak" is all BS. And you measured on a 'per gallon'. If I have a gasoline engine that gets 30 MPG and a diesel engine that gets 50 MPG and I drive 10,000 miles per year. Unless the diesel puts out 5/3 as much NOx/CO2/PPM, the diesel is still better. 4) Your last point is a good one. If you can get 200k out of a Gasoline Engine and 500k out of a Diesel engine. What is the 'carbon footprint' of making that entirely new engine? 5) Diesel prices are not that much cheaper in Europe. http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/gas1.jpg vs http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/diesel1.jpg
A few % at most. At $10/gallon, $0.10 is not that much
No. Diesel is popular in Europe because it gets better mileage. Every company and their brother has a diesel vehicle in Europe, if you don't you're SOL in the market. Manual transmission too.
I have a 1998 Jetta VW that can haul 4-5 people. A weekend of luggage and still get 45 MPG. Even with diesel pushing $5/gallon it's still cheaper per mile than any gasser OF THE SAME SIZE.
"Heavier Diesel". You talk about it like it adds 2 tons to the vehicle. A diesel engine may add a few hundred pounds at most.
VW has a PRODUCTION car that they sold that got 78 miles per US gallon. There is nothing more frustrating than hearing about the 'amazing' 30 MPG that some small cars get while in Europe they're doing double that.
IFor example, look at Java. Apple was over a year late on getting Java 6 on the mac, and now it only exists for Leopard 64-bit intel users. WTF? It can run on Windows 2k for crying out loud! And who supplies that Java 6 for 2k? Is there a website at Microsoft I can get it from? Or does it come from Sun?
Why is it Apple's fault that Sun hasn't ported Java?
