I don't know what I did to never ever have mod points for like 2 years or something, but I've never wanted them more than I do right now. I love Master of Magic with all my heart
I've always wondered why more people can't subscribe to the notion that midichlorians don't cause the Force, they're drawn to the force. Like if someone had control over magnetism, you'd expect to find lots of iron on him... that doesn't mean that that iron caused the magnetism
They had an exhibit at the science center in calgary that let two people sit down and each wear this helmet strap thing. The more you relaxed, the closer a ball got to your opponent's side. Conversely, the more 'stressed' you were, the closer it got to your side, forcing you to "try to relax" even more.
We played it 4 or 5 times, the first few genuinely, then with me trying as hard as i could to be stressed and concentrate as much as possible.
I found absolutely no correlation between me and the ball
Why don't they get a smart camera, point it at the field and track what the players and the ball are doing, and then get EA Sports MLB 2009 or whatever to recreate it digitally as its happening?
The world would be a better place if people grokked this.
They worry about terrorists -- but ignore the risk of diabetes. (the latter is 1000 times more likely to hurt or kill you)
They worry about abduction by unknown pedos -- but ignore traffic. (the latter is 1000 times more likely to hurt or kill your child)
They worry about the "radiation" from a cellphone-tower 50 meters from their house -- but pay good money to lie down near-nude in the strongest uv-radiation they are able to find. (the former is very likely completely harmless, the latter is KNOWN to cause premature aging of skin and increase the risk of skin-cancer)
They protest that the LHC will produce black holes that swallow the earth, but don't care if their car uses 5l/100km or 12l/100km. (the former is unphysical plainly impossible, the latter contributes to increased global warming with a very high probability (i.e. basically a certanity))
Violent death, to a first aproximation, is equal to traffic-death plus suicide. To a first aproximation, if you are killed, it will be because you kill yourself.
To a first aproximation, if you live in the modern west, accidents don't kill; disease do. ELIMINATING *ALL* accidents and *all* murders would only reduce deaths by 5% or thereabouts.
In short, the most dangerous things you and your children do are:
1) Getting too little physical activity, 2) Having unhealthy eating-habits and 3) Participating in traffic. (for those who smoke or have a high drug-consumption (including alcohol) that is one too.
Someone's been studying their mentat training manual! All the first approximations and math!
Marine: Yeah, the legs are miracles of science. They follow eachother and let me walk like I never thought possible
Reporter: Wait wait waitwaitwait wait a minute. This uses BLUETOOTH?!
I was looking for a job and found one that had a HUGE list of "wants" and "needs" for their systems developer or whatever. It had atleast 9 major areas of knowledge required. Everything from Java to SQL to Server setup...
The job was to work at a porno production company!
I don't know what kind of porno company needs such a complicated setup or whatever, I'm convinced that they were just trying to bring in the nerdiest guys they could find and then have them interviewed by the porn girls and film it.
I don't think many people know that its a canary with a machine gun.
And i'm not sure i want that many people knocked off the internet in one swell foop
This has less to do with the infancy of a religion or 'religion' and more to do with the infancy of human beings.
If christianity started today, they wouldnt get away with the stuff they did back when. Crusades? Yeah i think not.
Scientology is not acceptable because they're new, they're using old methods wrapped in new look to achieve their means.
