I have seen pictures of a mini ATX system board suspended in veggy oil and run that way for a couple of years, but the connectors on the back of the board were kept out of the oil so he could mobe things around when he needed.
I guess the used veggy oil could be burned in diesel engines, but...
Thou shalt bow down before the "Science" of global warming and beg forgivness from it's patron saint Al Gore.
Thou shalt not drive anything larger than a Yugo and thou shalt never fly anywhere in a jet*
* Unless thou art Al Gore!
My solution to fix global warming if for all the true believers of the Church of Environmental Disaster to stop breathing out CO2....that will fix the problem in less than 24 hours!
Actually, they sued IBM (who can afford lots of lawyers) and you can see how well that turned out for them! RIAA shakedown only works against people who can't afford justice.
U-Haul gets my vote...Their trucks all have 2" hitch, right?
The truck we rented had a 2 and 1/8 because someone somewhere had welded one on. I did not discover the problem till the truck was loaded and the boat trailer with the real 2" hitch would not fit.
Took it back and they would not cut off the bad one even when I proved the hitch was wrong with one of their trailers! All they would offer was another truck...right. I took the truck back to the house and borrowed a grinder from the helpful neighbor next door. It may not have been completely round when I was done, but it was small enough that I could get the boat trailer on it.
3 items jump to the front of my mind right off the bat.
1. The vast bulk of the "Climate Change Science" has been funded by left leaning foundations and think tanks. If you wanted more funding for more research from them you better come to conclusions that they like, otherwise the gravy train stops.
2. The climate has not been studied long enough or with enough precision to predict with much confidence what is going to happen in the medium to long term. It is impossible to quantify how much of which items humans are doing that will effect change and what direction that change takes.
3. The Little Ice Age and the Midieval Warm Period are good examples of times when making predictions based on a couple of hundred years worth of data would produce conclusions unsupported by what we know happened thereafter.
My conclusion: consensus of thought by people making predictions based on inadequate data in complex systems they don't understand will yield policy decisions that will seem laughable in the fullness of time. I have an Encyclopedia Britannica from 1910...a fun read, but the science is a bit off!
If you pick up a very old version some of them are both interesting and amusing. I have an old Briticania set from 1910 that are wonderful! Sure over half of what is in them is wrong or out of date, but that is half the fun!
Riptide
I see bilboards all the time to sterilize people but never one to sterilize a robot!
I can't help myself...I blame my parents (my daughter can blame me!
Since they cut him out...how can Wormtong throw the Palienter out the window for Pippin to pick up. If Pippin doesn't pick it up where is his motivation for looking into it? Are they going to have Pippin just steal it from Gandalf on a lark? I tend to trust PJ but, that is way out of character for my favorite hobbit!
Since this is a Republican administration they are doing this to "protect business" if it was a Democrat they would be doing it to pay off their friends in Hollywood. Right or Left both would be doing it and it is brain dead.
1 If it really succeeded technically no one would bother with DTV.
2 It does not taka a real genious to reverse engineer the technology and have a software fix.
3. Software fixes available would get chased off US based web servers but continue to be available from web servers in foreign countries. The MPAA will do an RIAA BW&M about how this will cause the fall of Western Civilization.

I was afraid the UN was gonna tell me my Ham Radios were gonna quit working! (FYI regular sunspots assist long range radio)
