Never read The Bible did he? YHVH conducted some brutal battles and carnage of "Biblical" proportions not seen even at Normandy. Imagine the city of Jericho wiped out.Sodom, Gomorrah , wiped out violently( if not literally, it was certainly historically reflective of some sort of carnage.).All manner of usual and unusual bloodshed throughout the book, Normandy may've hearkened back to some, but various God worship thrived amongst our ancestors who certainly conducted major bloodshed without any sissypants Geneva Convention never lost faith, if they did, they just picked up someones more" successful" God when theirs failed. Not much word of Atheists. Maybe Titus sacking Jerusalem made a few.
I'll take a dome w/a basement. I did say both. I want some windows. I've lived in a basement. It's dismal, radon is a reality around here, anyway. Need a good strong house to go to. There are Papercrete monolithic domes for the maximum tornado/hurricane protection as well. I'll settle for Geodesic. I like the architecture.The triangle is the strongest shape to build with.
Well, the roads here are filling with small cars, SUVs , and motorcycles, due to rising gas prices. Eventually, it may strike a permanent restraint in the brains of the public, but there are still enough old cars, trucks, semi-trucks, donked 70s rides out there to make little things unattractive to one intent on survival. I aim for the middle and drive a small Pontiac SUV that has no trouble grabbing acceleration, going 90 on the hwy and still giving me around 30 mpg when driving posted speeds. The "need" to utilize these hybrids and super dinky wind ups borders on paranoia and financial lunacy for the average man. The savings is absent, the safety is absent, the sanity is out to lunch.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have an electric. An electric that doesn't weigh like a mining barge or cost like a solid gold go-cart. Affordable small power storage is a ways off in spite of new improved batterys we hear about every few days. Then what? If costs go down and it's efficient for most to drive them, they will put bigger more powerful motors in them, because they can now afford to run them. The size and horse power will span the savings and put us right back where we are. Producing more electricity means more power plants, whether it's wind farm, solar, coal, hydro or nuclear; MORE. More battery waste. Anyone want an aged solid sulphur/litium battery to dispose of? Who are we saving? Might as well go back to horses,fresnel death ray steam engines.Sailboats.Bicycles, piggyback. rickshaw. You want low emissions? Think post nuclear B-movie transportation.
Domes fit the bill for tornado/hurricane resistant structures. I will accept nothing less than that or an underground facility or both. Don't build in a flood zone either.
Sorry, but the ability to save my life by accelerating from a dangerous situation trumps your eco-turtle. The average local freeway is 75 mph. Many places have open ended speed limits based on safety of the road and ability of the vehicle. Montana comes to mind. If you think you don't drive well, don't drive fast, stick to the streets and fasten a fluorescent orange warning triangle to your bumper so people can safely avoid you like an Amish carriage. Better yet, take the bus so you don't create a situation in public traffic.
Small fuel efficient cars have a huge problematic bug , that has never been worked out. They're dangerous, hard to spot, slow to get out of the way and driven by people convinced that they will be around to enjoy a cleaner environment. http://ferrellgummit.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/wrecked-smartcar.jpg
I'm surprised the foil hat crowd hasn't fingered them as a population control conspiracy.
I don't think I'd settle for your puny 300 hp package, if I were to be seen in a Furd. There's nice whomped out packages closer to the 500 horse range if you don't mind selling your soul and getting a second mortgage. Personally, I'm a Mopar guy and I gotta say I'd much rather emit the premium hydrocarbons of a Viper, dollar for dollar. Just remember, everytime you restore an antique hot rod, somewhere a hippie dies of cancer. Rat Rods Forever!
When you have a doctor, with his doctors pay, of course he wants more, like everyone. He augments it with little kickbacks "honorariums" from pharmaceutical companies, which are alright, if you don't tell. So who's gonna tell? Just push the pills from the company that "befriended" you. Oh, here comes a new patient! Kid's a little thick, let's just pull out the chart and run a few words by him. Hmmm, hell, I dunno,well, o.k., it's autism, just drop your insurance card by the receptionist on your way out. NEXT! Oh of course, this COULDN'T be all doctors, why some of them have scruples, they aren't in it for the money. They're in it because they love vomiting children, puss, hypochondriacs, prostate exams, junkie nurses, etc. They just wanna help mankind.
Lawyers will break no bones when they are cast into hell. There will already be a doctor there to absorb his impact.
It would be nice to see these entities seized by the IRS and large parts sold off to their competitors. That would certainly stop such huge grants and subsidies in favor of smaller ones spread out. Then your horrible poor and middles could fill the new positions and enjoy the revenues spread amongst their communities. With the previously owned bits spread out, then we will see some innovation flourish because the new humbled titans will have to do something for US today to stay in the race. Your rich professionals/entrepeneurs will move along to THE NEXT BIG THING. Maybe, even at one of the companies owning a piece of their ass. There are many possibilities of just what could happen, I doubt anything ever happens as straight forward and predictably as you set forth.Too textbook.
Not many could be bothered to learn morse code. Ba boom ching! Hey, speakin of leaks; How do you know when you're staying in a Arkansas hotel?
When you call the front desk and say, "I gotta leak in my sink,"
and the clerk replies, "Go ahead."
Hmmm, statistics about guns, what could possibly go wrong? Money is usually my answer. Money makes the world go round, greases the tracks for a night on the town. It picks you up when you're feeling down, when you're out, you'll wear a frown. So step right up and pick the card and lay your money down.
Yes you are right , random sampling has produced loads of desired results, the best money can buy. With only 1000 samples, you can always try again in short enough time to make press, if you didn't like it the first time.
I'm sure I can trust that you believe you are right because you sat in enough classes to soak up theory about the theoretical, then they gave you a sheepskin. Happens all the time. Personally I blame those with teaching degrees who taught those who wished to teach,etc. until each iteration contaminated by culture, politics and mental health, declined the information to the poo on our plate today.
Lies, damned lies and statistics.
Statistics are barely good for anything and never cover enough criteria and variables to represent accurately, opinion. Perhaps you should've degreed in information theory.
Sorry, I'm hungover and mean as a rattlesnake today.
Are you kidding me? You can't get from county to county, let alone state to state with any hope of finding a uniformity between them that could be construed as an average. You couldn't poll 1000 homeowners out of 750000 in a city over taxes and have it work. This is the equivalent of closing your eyes and tossing a dart over your shoulder to win the teddy bear.
Just because they offer up their cockamamie methodology, doesn't make it any the less; smoke pumped up your butt.
Interesting theory about sample size,let me make it clear for you. Take a digital picture with the same number of pixels as the adult population(we'll even narrow it down to adults) then, pick a thousand random pixels to represent the picture. Hell, I'll make it even simpler, squeeze that same picture down to 1000 pixels. Whadda ya got? Crap. What did Rationalize-Ruse produce? Crap. What happens when you digest their info? Disgusting picture isn't it? Another good reason to question everything by those professing to be experts.
Amen! Let's just hit the reset button and settle on 4 years for Copyright and Patent. If you haven't made your money by then, get off the pot. There's a world of innovative people out there who deserve a living. I mean really, what have you done for us today? I mean besides Patent/copy troll and waste the time of the tax dollar fueled court system that could otherwise be doing something to improve the world. 4 years, no more, no less. Period.
If you ever figure out who it is, have them delete Christmas, as it is virally compromised with malware that is beginning to affect many other holidays.
1000 people could never be a good sample size. It could hardly cover all walks of life in our 50 states, let alone combinations of political, religious and cultural criteria. Anyone with an HTML editor can claim to be some professional data gathering business. Frankly/. polls get closer to the truth of things and I wouldn't accept it either. The only thing this unReasonable-Ruse is good for is producing media talking points from midair in order to sway public opinion in the cattle they are able to affect. I fart in their general direction and laugh at their lame attempt at reproducing some community college level effort and trying to fob it off as genuine and scientific. Proof that any moron can call themselves professionals, I am reminded of all the 3 stooges films in which they attempt business endeavors ending in spilled paint, foot in a bucket, BOP! OW! C'mon Moe! Woo Woo Woo Woo! Wise guy huh? I'll teach you to print guns.

Now that's what I'm talking about.
Sorry, for my money, I'll take the acceleration and wait for the technology to mature. No point in paying that much to beta test.

Well, it's the asexual organs you ACs have and you all look the same to me.
You lack a sense of humor and the ability to judge an audience, both necessary for getting laid. I pity you, you'll end up spending a lot of money.
Good Idea, we'll work with monochrome.I'll predict it'll produce a turd long before it's whittled down to 1000.
Hmmm, statistics about guns, what could possibly go wrong? Money is usually my answer. Money makes the world go round, greases the tracks for a night on the town. It picks you up when you're feeling down, when you're out, you'll wear a frown. So step right up and pick the card and lay your money down.
Your 1000 tosses would be fine in this case , if you were polling 1000 coins. Pathetically short of variables.
Trust, I don't contribute monies to disinformation factories that would result in sitting in something useless as a statistics course.
Yes you are right , random sampling has produced loads of desired results, the best money can buy.
