-I can get it anywhere...any country, any state, any town I'm in, and I don't even need to ask. I know they have it.
How is this a bonus? Why bother going anywhere if you aren't going to try something new? The first thing I ask for when I go into a bar/pub while traveling is if they have any local brews.
-Usually, I'm really just looking for something cold and wet.
Drink water.
-Usually, the beer is just an accessory to the journey; it's not the destination. I'm more interesting in what's going on around me.
Drink Water
-It is still booze. After a few drinks, it doesn't matter what you are drinking.
This doesn't jive with the your previous point of it's the journey not the destination. If the point is just to get drunk, do a few shots of Everclear and be done with it.
-Mass produced beers don't attract a gaggle of shallow buffoons that judge people by what they drink.
That is really your best point and it really isn't that good. The fact is that you can make judgements about people based upon their actions. If you're drinking something like Bud or Miller and that ilk, I can infer that you either are just drinking to get drunk, you have poor taste in beer, or marketing holds too much sway over you. Poor taste in beer is really the kindest choice out of the three and the one I generally attribute to people. I don't make many other judgements beyond that and I'd agree that people that do are annoying. Although quite a few people drinking the mass produced stuff are more than happy to be shallow buffons that judge people by what they aren't drinking too.
I'm going to shoot from the hip here and say people were just poor in a different way. Nowadays people are poor in an inner city and no longer have an extended support network. I think it used to be that if you were dirt poor you still had neighbors and an extended family that may also be dirt poor but at least helped you out as best they could. I don't think that the present day inner city poor have that kind of network anymore, and if they do they also only exist in the inner city so how are they supposed to help you get out?
I grew up in rural WI in a farm town were everybody was relatively poor, I'm only 30 so not that long ago too. But there was an impressive social network where whenever somebody was down on their luck, usually because of an accident affecting their health, some group (church, Lions, Rotary, Knights of Columbus) do a fundraiser of some sort or other.
Fortunately, human protein tends to come with pointy and/or stout sticks, thrown rocks, and other things making it too dangerous a diet for predators.
I think that is kind of the point of the article, one human with a stick and a rock, "mmmm...mmmm good." Lots of humans with sticks and rocks, "hmmm...I think I feel like a gazelle today." Early man, I'll call him 'Harry', realized this. So Harry made a few hunting buddies.
You will know this deal is over when the fat lady sings....
(Rimshot, because it requires a couple connections, and some knowledge of Opera as a cultural event and certain sereotypes about female Opera singers, to be funny)
You know I think it had all of those, what it really lacked though was humor, or for you brits 'humour'.
Most of the nation's leading AIDS experts were attending the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Denver on Monday. The event's policies prohibits on-site news conferences or releases during the conference, and efforts to reach scientists there were not successful.
Of the few AIDS research luminaries reached, all said they preferred not to comment on the Vanderbilt tests until full results are published.
I suspect that the timing was setup so as to make available commentators on this topic scarce. Then the ones that did say it was bullshit were summed up by saying they need to see the full results.
You may be right in that some things are unsolvable by the human mind, but that shouldn't stop of us from trying. It really isn't possible to know what humans as a species are capable of doing, some radical thinkers are always pushing us forward. Nobody ever got anywhere by saying "This is hard, let's go to the pub." Except for maybe drunk, which is a good place to be, but not exactly the most productive.
but it offers the somewhat counter-intuitive notion that accurate predictions can be made based on very little information, and gathering extensive amounts of data first might not always be the best approach.
I don't know if you looked at the article or not, I only did very briefly, but I think there is more data than you realize. Sure the question provides too little data, but people's past experiences provide a huge amount of data for them to draw inferences from. This data is already gathered and interpreted well before the question is asked. The question that seemed most people did very poorly with was the span of a pharoah's rule. People don't have any common experience with that and so did poorly.
I'm not going to touch the rest of this conversation, but who sells us the oil isn't really an issue. Oil is a commodity, increasing and stabilizing the supply by taking control of other countries will decrease the world price for oil. Even if we don't buy it from Iraq, Iran, or anybody else we introduce "democracy" to.
If it doesn't have any identifying information attached to it, why would it matter?
And by identifying, I mean name, SSN, Age, race, etc
I suspect it does have species, race, gender and such. Granted this can be derived from the data itself, but I suspect they have a lot of information about the donor in order to categorize the sample. I could see researchers wanting to be able to query up all human mongolian females in order to study some genetic disease/trait.
I could be wrong, but what you are complaining about is Standard Time, not Daylight Saving Time. The time in winter is standard time, so you ought to be happy about Daylight Saving Time being extende since it makes it lighter in the morning during winter.
Here's a thought, how about we don't build cities below sea level? I know there is a lot of beautiful stuff in New Orleans and all that historical value etc, but perhaps we shouldn't be building cities or rebuilding cities that are apparently very much destroyed where they are below sea level. Give up on it and move off the coast a ways and build there. I understand the New Orleans wasn't alwyas below sea level and it sank due to the crappy marsh land it's built on, but "It is a foolish man who builds his house upon the shifting sands." Maybe we can find a solid foundation this time around?
I know German, but I'm still having trouble reading the manuscripts. His n, u, r and m all look very similar. I do like the way the entire page has a slant to the right though. Maybe some student of Freud could read something into that?
The only problem with that is it doesn't simulate reality either. Guards and such do walk the same path over and over again. Not as precisely perhaps. But I used to be able to set my watch by when security would walk by in college.

So do Paulina, Melvina and Lunt.
I'm sure he will be here any minute.

Seems like a good time to mention the great animation done using Halo over at Red vs Blue:

Or we could just remember things and think for ourselves. Nahhh, that would never work.

Tell that to this third eye growing on my forehead. Oh wait, it was just a zit, nevermind.
Yeah, try playing Planetside without TeamSpeak. The TeamSpeak squads will kill ya everytime. You have to be able to call down the thunder.

Nope as my English teacher would have said, "Man vs. Nature" been there, done that.
Not to mention copied the same code found on a website using google.

All things being equal, more supply, lower price.

Maybe they are trying to figure out the cheapest or most expensive way to ring them up? 4*3, 2*6, 1*9 + 1*3, 1*6 + 2*3? Which is it?
Can you recomend a few of these German games? I'd be curious to give them a try.
I'd recommend both Fluxx and Wizard as good, but they ain't German.
