If your car has the speed and breaking distance, you have nothing to fear.
Yeah, two lane road, nobody in front of you - you have nothing to fear. Go 95!
Then, when I'm coming the other way and think it's safe to pass, because you look a ways off through the heat haze, and I drive a zippy '04 with 227hp, I'll jump up to 90 and enter your lane. We'll be closing that ground much faster than I expected, but we have fast cars and good brakes - no worries, right?
But how does the guy I'm passing feel about the whole situation? Does he care to trust his life to our brakes?
so this counterweight swinging around out there pulling the elevator cable taught... any chance that might stretch the cable? how much and how does that effect the plan?
wait i'm sorry, we don't know, 'cause even the cable is still a work in progress.
all that aside, where the crap is this elevator even going?
did i read 62,000 miles right? show me something over 6.2 miles long without a crack...
my prediction, the thing will break, break, break and maintenance crews will be crawling their way up 30 some thousand miles to sort it out. sounds dead fun...
could it be done? maybe. should it be tried? what's the point?
Insightful? Somebody's getting a little loose with the mods.
There are a lot of intelligent people in this world, granted, but so the fuck what? The kid's looking for advice. Great job, Mr. sensitive, you gave him squat.
He wasn't being boastful. He was being awkward. Show me an intelligent kid that wasn't lost at that age, and most other ages. I was. You?
Kid, good luck. Ignore that last post...

If certain vehicles are too big to be driven safely, maybe owning one should require a special license. I mean they're classed as commercial vehicles to get around emissions standards, right?
Well, I've never seen a caterer arrive in a Hummer...
My experience with wildfires is limited, but they tend to be somewhat remote.
I can't imagine these things can fly without a fixed base of operations prepared to refuel, refill, etc.
Airports that can handle a 747 are plentiful enough, but they'd still require a ground crew ready to fuel, fill and turn the plane around. I just can't imagine that will be common.
They may still be useful for first strike drops if they're ready and waiting for the call, but I'm not sure how effective (cost effective) they'd be on real fires beyond the initial hit.

Thank you for clearing that up. Guess I'll pass on mentioning that "It's" could use a lower case "i" as well...
So I shouldn't point out that it's spelled "grammar" then...? ;)
I wonder if Google will apply their smart pricing technology to the ads they display, or are AdSense publishers special in that regard.
Is video traffic any more likely to convert...?
Ha ha ha ha ha! Yes, I think you're right.
But he's also a client.
Oh DARL, from SCO!
Nope, I still wouldn't've had a clue... But I did get to use two apostorphes in one word, and for that I am happy!
That is the funniest thing I've read all day!
Now who's Daryl McBride...?
Bush's vacant stare looks vaguely familiar. Without the hat, I wouldn't know it was a mask...
Hmm... A spinning little metal dealybob, or a big sharp knife?
I actually think the kids might be better off with the spinny do-hicky. Imagine that lunge for Danny's head. Which you rather have in junior's hand?
That was uncalled for.
I think I may have missed where it mentioned increased penalties specifically for Nigerians.
Anything I say about this would likely be considered flame bait...
Over 3.5 billion years, there's kind of a gradual erosion of this water.
In that kind of timeframe, pigs might fly...
Given a lack of atmosphere and magnetosphere, Mars' water just might depart as well.
It sounds plausible...
Say cheese.
Got it, thanks!
Now I can add some stupid comment like "Link's been missing all this time" and use the pic as a lame comeback on message boards.
Tell you what, it sure beats that guy getting hit in the sac by a wiffle bat that just says "owned"...

I doubt it...
For those that missed the subject, that was Pirates I was referring to.
Nothing to do with anything, but the best dame game ever...

I can almost picture a neighboring yak herder perched just over the ridge, with an antenna made from a Pringles can, stealing bandwidth...
There's an interesting theory linking the explosion of the Hindenburg to the powdered aluminum used in treating the outer covering.
Think of a gas filled bag made out of rocket fuel. The fact that gas inside is flamable may be moot...

I was thinking along the same lines.
My experience with wildfires is limited, but they tend to be somewhat remote.
I can't imagine these things can fly without a fixed base of operations prepared to refuel, refill, etc.
