So the tick bite that had a red ring forming around the hole where I dug most of the ticks head out of would have responded to soap and water just as good as to the antibiotic ointment I put on it?
When solar starts making money for my utility company they will come and install a system for me and still only charge me $180 a month like they do now.
The newest Bloomberg Magazine has a very informative article on the iPhone workers trail. Workers are recruited in Nepal and pay hundreds of dollars to recruiters and transporters to be repaid with earnings from 3 years of work. The job ends in six months but the employer holds their passports so they can't leave. Much better than slavery. These guys pay you to come work.
The Dole crews would have team leaders and will have to cooperatively comb through the neighborhood fixing fences and doors. Have some trained in elder care and everyone takes some advancement classes.
You can't subsistence farm and hunt when all land is owned by someone. Opening federal land and restricting individual ownership will allow those who want to make their way a a place to do it.
If you have a business you need tax planing. I was forced to sell some property to offset a business loss and incurred a capital gains tax. I shifted some expenses from the upcoming year to offset the gain to lower my tax bill. However the next year I then had less expenses to deduct and made a larger profit on which I had to pay SS tax which I would not have to have payed on the capital gain. D'oh
Even with a simple return double check your figures. I was out of work for three years. First year, $3000 tax credit, second year, $78 due, third year $3000 tax credit. Every year should have been the same. I downloaded the second years software and recalculated my tax bill and came up with a $3000 credit. I filed an amended return to get the credit but I still don't know what I did wrong the first time. If my financial situation had changed for the third year I wouldn't have noticed the discrepancy for the second year
In a closed system the apex capitalist will "kill" all his competitors and extract every penny from the captive consumers. The world economy is getting close to that. By automating and off-shoring only the most efficient businesses prosper. By eliminating workers vast profits can be amassed and extraneous people can just die. Managing a population where less than half the people actually work will be difficult. Most people don't want to work and the wrong people want to be in charge of the money.
I did industrial maintenance at a rural produce packing plant (in the US) where ALL the wiring in the ceiling was white. You had to cut off all the lighting breakers and do a continuity test any time you worked on a lighting circuit.
All the old single wall storage tanks have been replaced with double walled tanks that have to be inspected periodically so there should be no more leaks. We're not going to make that mistake again.
I guess Florida counts as the tropics. In the 70s I lived in an old house on a potato farm. No air conditioning so the windows were open all the time. We had five-striped skinks that wandered in and out. The adult males were almost a foot long and loved french fries. My wife made them every day during spring harvest season. If you didn't give them enough fries they would nibble your toes. We had green anoles in the curtains and tree frogs in the shower. Having a pine bark scorpion drop onto your chest while your laying in bed will wake you up real fast.
Ethanol is a replacement for MTBE. MTBE is banned in California and New York. It contaminates ground water when underground gasoline storage tanks leak.
When I was farming I had six electric irrigation pumps. The nine months of the year they weren't in use I still had to pay $9.70 a month each. That was twenty years ago. $4.90 a month? Pffft.
You have made a very astute observation. Only a wartime like effort with rationing and eliminating people who use more than their allotment of carbon fuel.
If only. You forgot luxury, superstition and subsidies. If a Chinese billionaire thinks rhino horn works better than Viagra he will pay some poacher a million dollars to kill the last rhinoceros. The Japanese treat tuna like eatable gold and will pay $100 lb for it. Most fishing fleets are jobs programs and get paid to seine anything they can out of the ocean.
The world is too small now and the wealthy too powerful. Unless the weak band together and use their control of governments to prevent it the rich will denude the plant for their pleasure.
Why is it so hard to find lead based paint anymore? It performs much better than that low VOC crap sold in stores now. And where in the heck have they hidden the chlordane and DDT?
The same people who banned these products are responsible for not banning widespread antibiotic use. Banning use of antibiotics on food animals would cheer the hearts of the vegan and PEATA crowd. Few will be able to afford meat and eggs with the loss of 90% of farmers' animals.
Most Americans and Europeans would actually be healthier without so much meat but wild fish stocks would face extinction without strict quotas. Now about the whole fossil fuel global warming thing. If environmentalist are right it's almost to late NOW. We need to return to 1850s carbon usage tomorrow and that wont reverse the warming expected to happen in the next twenty years. Feeding 8 billion people without using diesel powered tractors and chemical fertilizers will be quite a challenge. I have yet to see a comprehensive plan for this. The market does not want to change. The market wanted to drive automobiles instead of horse drawn wagons. We can reestablish an agrarian society but I hate horses.
Just got home from seeing the movie. The reviewer gave an accurate description of the movie. I read the short story when it was first published in Analog magazine in 1977. Star Wars had just come out and that was how I imagined the battle scenes. This was light years better. Everything else was a little disappointing but nothing twice the budget and another two more hours wouldn't have fixed. Do go see it. It's worth the price of admission. The bigger the box-office on this movie the more likely more of our favorite books will become movies. Ringworld, please.
I was going to make a wise ass remark but looked at some income tax results first. Damn, you're right. If income taxes were doubled we would have no budget deficit. The bottom 50% of taxpayers only pay a 1.85% average tax. The top 5% pay 20%. This from 2009. Everyone pays their extra share, no borrowing, no need to raise debt limit. Genius. Make the 5% pay 50% tax rate and the bottom 50% pay nothing.
That is exactly what I was think as I tried to make a salient point and all I got was gibberish. I'm taking three ibuprofen for my backache and an ambien so I will stay asleep for six or seven hours. Good night.
I have spent many hours studding each word in Revelation, If something doesn't make sense we cross reference other scriptures until it makes sense. There will always be hard heads who see one thing and science easily defeats if, Don't wast time correcting the wrongheaded, But at least give a well presented explanation a listen,
Wonderful! You know the Bible. Did you go to Sunday School and then decide everyone there was wrong or did you just read the Bible as a work of fiction you found laying around?
Am I right in assuming that you don't take the phrase, "prohibiting the free exercise thereof " in the first amendment quite so literately?
To me a few things from the Bible are consistent enough to sustain my faith. The enduring hatred of the Jews by the Arabs. The protection of the Jewish nation by the US even though it cost us hundreds of $billions in military expenditures and higher oil prices.
We also have to have all those technological advances. How else are the Nations supposed to see the two witnesses lie dead in the streets of Jerusalem without the internet and cell phones? Maybe you will get to see that live. I don't plan on being around.
How much would a brake job on you car cost if only automotive engineers were allowed to work in a garage? If everyone drove a Ferrari maybe but most doctors visits are for Ford Model T problems. The AMA holds the keys to the kingdom and are not letting go.
About 500 generations ago people WALKED across the Bering Straits. Sea levels have risen since then. How can we be sure the water isn't supposed to get any deeper?
Yah, the whole moving thing. The advantage of rural areas is lack of neighbors. Of course the cable company sees it as lack of customers. I've lived in the same spot for 43 years. My property is paid for and taxes are $465 a year. Satellite works for me. If something takes a long time to to download I'll just go take a nap while I wait.
My daughter went to see Jurassic Park first run with some friends from the state collage she was attending. After the movie one friend told her, " I kept thinking to myself, ' How did they get those dinosaurs to do that?' "
If Steven Spielberg can almost convince a college student to believe living dinosaurs appeared in a movie couldn't a supreme being convince some college graduates that dinosaur fossils are real? Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from science. If I believe that God created an entire universe why can't I believe God created an old Earth with special effect dinosaur bones already in place? When you can tell me what dark matter is composed of we'll talk.

We could only do the work at night after production was done for the day. It was DARK up there!

Previous c-section cost you $500, next one will cost you $9000. So who paid the $8500 difference last time?
