    Some of the Family Islands, Eleuthera, Abaco, Grand Bahama, Cat Island, the islands to the east of Nassau/New Providence, took the brunt of the Storm.

    Well having just went though this Bullshit @ MCO Monday, I can tell you that it is not fun.
    The fat cunt decided that I needed my laptop bag searched extra carefully after I refused to go through the new 'Light Up My Marrow' X-Ray device that some fucking Minimum Wage trainee was running that day. Well Lo and Behold, my laptop bag tested positive..... for what I have no fucking Idea.... No answer. Of course I was crazed Pissed, ready to go to jail pissed, at that point, was actually weighing that option of jail time.......and My wife, whom we just found out was pregnant, was getting really scared when cops showed up and was really trying to calm me down.....

    Bottom Line:
    They are highly untrained, but make up for it with massive attitude. After I calmed down 15 minutes later from my hissy fit, body pat down including my balls ( asked the Supervisor if he wanted to stick his finger in my ass too ,very loudly, he was a little embarrassed )
    The cops that showed up at the scene said that TSA once tried to stop him from coming into the secured area with his weapons, against all rules and doctrines of the working relationship between the TSA and local law enforcement. I trust a cop, trained in law enforcement, way more then some fucking wanabee loser with a 2 week course that ends up saying that you can spell their name and pass a drug test.....

    Good Luck.... not looking to returning to the states anytime soon. The terrorist won, The government took your Freedom.

    Damn another plumbing reference....
    I am a Plumber, master at that, state certified and all. I'm also an MCSE 2000. Plumbing and Computers are very similar.... at least at a high level, not talking glue pipe together or building a computer.
    Logic and critical thinking are key. I can go into just about any structure, and surmise the basic layout and routing of the structures plumbing/mechanical system. There are only so many ways to skin a cat.
    Doing basic plumbing is alot like networking, writing a script or a web page. If you know what to out come is supposed to be, you can muddle thought it.
    Designing a Mechanical System, Water Distribution, Sanitary Piping, HVAC/R, Process Heat Recovery and Redistribution, and make it work correctly and with little maintenance is a whole other issue.
    Real Programing, Like Mechanical Engineering, now that is the realm of the Professional. If you want to knock out a simple script to move data from one program to another, change a faucet or toilet, that's fine, Other than that, find a programmer or plumber and make a friend, share a beer, and have him do it. At least you know that it's done right.
    Like my daddy said right before he killed my moma, you can hire talent, and fire 'em when the jobs dun, or you buy a friend a Papst Blue Ribbon and have them do it for you, plus talk about the best way to beat your wife and kids. Kidding.....

    What the animation didn't show is that the bombs had to be spun up counter clockwise before they were dropped, to get them to bounce on the water. The Lancaster bombers had their bomb bays modified with the mechanism to do this, basically a giant chain and sprocket. Just think about skipping flat rocks on the water, the more spin the more bounces.

    This lady sounds like a Seventh Day Adventist. I used to work for and with a couple of them. They are a very devout and hipocrital group. And the article is exactly the way the "end of the world" was going to happen according to them. I was alittle taken back at first, and found their ideas slightly intriging. After some research on my own, I realized two things, 1) They Believe that they are the lost tribe of Isreal, 2) They think that the Catholic Church broke the coven with God by moving the Sabbath Day from Saturday to Sunday, their lore says that the Catholic Church did this because they are controlled by the devil. They are essentially a cult of Christians, a very strange group. It's kinda sad really, to live in fear, I guess it helps to live in fear as a group.

    Ahhh Fuck.... just went through a price increase over PVC/CPVC because the they are oil based products to the tune of 50% in 2 months. Now this....
    As it is, if it wasn't for the installation cost, the old Cast Iron pipe and fittings as the say price as PVC (Waste Pipe). The labor is alot higher because kids today have no gumpsion to lift cast iron pipe and be a real plumber, you know "Worker of Lead".

    Right now CPVC ( Water Pipe ) is about the same as copper Pipe. Labor is higher through. It's easier to glue shit together than to prep copper and heat it up to 1000 Degrees and solder it.

    Man this is just going to kill the construction industry which keep the economy afloat during the Dot Com Bust.

  22. Arrogance on Forecasting Doomsday · · Score: 1

    Are we that arrogant to believe that we are going to kill the earth.... I mean come on, The massive body structures and dietary requirements of the dinosaurs did what to the environment? Studies show that cow are a major source of methane. What do you think a 20 Ton plant eating dinosaur could do to an environment. And there were huge herds walking around, the digestive release of gases would be large on a herd scale.
    Now this doesn't even take into account the tectonic activities and vulcanism that was more prevalent during this epoch. We're trying to develop a environmental model for the entire earth based on a dataset thats represents only 200 years of information, like temperature and rainfall levels. WTF. A complex system such as the environment cannot be interpreted based on this small amount of data.

    The environment ebbs and flows like a living thing I agree, but I think that we need more long term data to understand our impact. Conservation is IMPORTANT. Gross misuse of resources is a huge issue. DVD's, CD's, Newspapers, et all. Most of theses things are created on a computer, are already digital, then we turn around and waste the energy and resources to convert them into an analog format for distribution. Just so someone can make money. That makes no sense to me. Then you have to have the brick and mortar store to sell such a product, and all of it's resources, plus the employees that have to drive to work, clog the roads, piss me off in rush hour, and make me pull my 7.62mm Full Metal Jacket.....

    I just think that we as a GLOBAL society need to really think about what is important. I am a consumer, I buy stuff every weekend, and then monday mourning I take the garbage to the road and see the boxes and stuff. It's not even an issue about recycling, that's old news, most do. What I am talking about is the reevaluating the way we use resources. The old way of marketing and moving products is over. Just think of all the money, landfill space, fuel, mailmen sweet, and time we could of saved just with not having to deal with the AOL CD's.

Were it not for my Oldest who uses it for what it was supposed to be, chatting and sharing vid's of his motorcyle movies and stunts, than I would just blacklist the damn thing.

    As it is now, my wife spends alot of time educating parents and showing them what their kids are really up too.

I pay the bills for a plumbing company and for 10 phones we were paying like $1,400.00 a month..... A MONTH!!!! Screw that, and every time that we needed a new phone because of whatever, like the day a guy dropped his in the porta-potty, 2 Year contract to get a new one..... No, they would not replace it, I had to buy a new one with a New 2 year contract. Whatever, they call themselves the bussiness company.... well that might be true, but not my bussiness.

    I went with T-mobile, good bussiness division, no Bullshit... I get what I want now, 20 phones @ Half the cost, better service.

    And no more of that embarrasing crap, that beep, then a guy rambleing on that you cannot interupt because it's a one way conversation till he's done yakking. or worse yet, that beep, one of my guys asking "what the fuck is going on with so and so" while I'm in a meeting with people or a woman's present.
