Ok, the 5lb tub of Crisco and the Jelly could mean you like biscuits. 96 condoms in two weeks is a lot of sex with your wife. I mean I have sex twice a day and sometimes orgasm twice a session, but still that would only require 56 condoms every two weeks, unless of course whomever you are sticking it to is a dirty whore so you're double bagging it, in which case you might not have enough. Then there is the three baby bottles. Why would you be buying three of those every two weeks? Aren't they reusable?
Possible crafts that could use those:
Ok, the Crisco is flammable and could possibly be used as rocket fuel. The condoms could be used as some sort of bladder for the rocket and the baby bottles could be the frame. That still leaves the jelly un accounted for.
You could make fleshlights out of the bottles, filling the bottle with Crisco and jelly and then wrapping it in a condom, but then that still doesn't explain why you wouldn't just reuse the bottles.
Maybe the condoms aren't for you and you give them away or something. You could also be giving the bottles away. But then what about the Crisco and grape jelly? I got it, you work for a church group. You do mission work and hand out condoms for safe sex. You help with expectant mothers and pass out free baby bottles and at your bible study you make delicious biscuits from the Crisco and serve it with grape jelly. Those people in your bible study really love grape jelly.
Liberty does not equal Anarchy. That is a logical misconception used when people want to justify taking away someone else's rights. We can agree that people can not defraud people since that is harming others and that would not be tyranny or anarchy. The government has a responsibility to bring charges against the defrauder once there is a victim. The same goes for battery, we want the government to protect us from battery and if someone attacks us there should be consequences. There is still liberty and not tyranny and not anarchy. However the government forcing me to wear a seatbelt (even though I know I should) should not be threatened imprisonment (if you don't pay the fine a bench warrant will be issued and you will serve jail time). That is tyranny and for a victim less crime.
Because the first is relating culturally; i.e. degrading. The second is personal opinion, I don't find it degrading, but society does.
Ideal for me is not platonic, ideal for society is.
And yes, I realize that women want sex more than men, however generalizing they are more picky. I do know some women who aren't picky and enjoy random sex, but out of all my female friends only two view sex that way as opposed to hundreds who don't. Of my male friends hundreds are OK with casual sex, where only the religious ones aren't.
Even worse than that was watching the Grey's Anatomy season finally. I was so not expecting that girl to get shot in the face. I was shocked. What was worse was we had already put the kids to bed, but one of them got up to get a glass of water and saw it. She freaked out a little. It is amazing how much violence is shown on television, god forbid you see a boob or hear a naughty word.
You seem to have issues with males (I can't tell from your name whether you are one or not, but it's irrelevant), and you should be working through that yourself, not poisoning children's minds to share in your gender issues. No, BOYS will not drag girls into the gutter, some will, some won't.
A little quick to judge? How about some basic biology. Males are wired for sex and females are wired to be selective about sex. Its not opinion, it is biology. Some males may show constraint, but they are fighting nature. If biology is allowed to take its course males will always try to go all the way and females will have to put on the breaks unless they like the traits of the male; in which case the female is just as likely to attempt to procreate and all bets are off.
So if someone is educating their daughters to be wary of boys because "boys will drag them as far down in the gutter as they will allow" they are correct; eventually the relationship will become non-platonic and if allowed will degrade to sex.
Where the person is wrong is that sex somehow deserves to be in the gutter. Sex is a wonderful thing; but there are several consequences of sex: STD's, Pregnancy and Jealousy. Two of them can be controlled with condoms, the third is fighting nature and takes a lot of self control.
China? Horrifying Education System? I used to teach in China. That is not one of China's weaknesses. Lack of law enforcement, yes, lack of education no. I saw an automobile accident, the other person didn't have insurance so the guy who got hit beat the crap out of the guy who hit him. The youth in China are ready for change and much of China is changing with them. They are lacking in some human rights, but their are other areas that make up for it. Cost of living is dirt cheap there, as an American Ex-Pat there you can always get a job teaching English, if nothing else. Their Drug laws are much stricter. But if I had an offer to work on stem cell research in China, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Sure beats getting sued in the US.
Whats wrong with India? Half the people I work with are from India, its a democratic country and developing at a breakneck pace; not as fast as China but democracy moves slower than communism with the advantage of more freedom.
What kind of crap have you been reading about the UAE? Not all UAE states have draconian laws for women. Dubai has a western like culture and is very tolerant of westerners. Yes some of the UAE states are strict, but not all; and it is changing for the better.
Look, I'm more spineless than that. I don't even have the ability to leave. I'm just very passive aggressive.
The law that bothers me that I have the best chance of changing is the blue law in my county. I would love to go to the Cantina on Sunday after mowing the lawn and enjoying a Dos Equis or Corona; but I can't buy alcohol in my county on Sunday. That would be the first law I wish was changed and I could actively do something about getting it changed. In the mean time I can just drive 20 min north or south of me to a county that doesn't have the stupid law.
The next law that has no chance of ever changing is the speed limit on I-75. There are stretches of miles of road with no exits or anything where the speed limit could be 80 or 90 MPH and it would be fine and there are other areas where 55 is to fast; but the idea that federal highway dollars won't be allocated to the state unless they conform to national speed guide lines is annoying. In this case I educate people on the real causes of highway fatalities and accidents (i.e. tail gating and changing lanes). But speeding is such an easy target for people wanting to save lives and its politically easy to be against speeding; not differentiating between highways and surface streets and ignoring other factors. In this case I actively drive 84 MPH and take every ticket to court. In every case I've gone to court I've had my case thrown out. The only time I pay the fine is when I get a ticket out of state and can't drive to the courthouse. I'd go faster than 84, but +15 MPH changes it from a fine to jail time and increased fines.
The third law which is having some traction in other states is re-legalizing marijuana. With the larger goal of ending the entire war on drugs; which would alleviate my complaints about owning lab equipment. In my state I've talked to some of the generation above mine and there is no chance this will ever change in my State. Would I still be a coward to move to a different State?
Then there is patents and copyrights. Trying to convert my DVD collection has been a chore. This is another passive aggressive area. I don't do the torrent thing, but I sneakernet. I buy games from Stargate even though I'm not going to play them, just to support the DRM free movement. I'd like to be able to buy a game or movie and be able to use it on any device I own. I have two x-box's and I'd like them to be able to talk to each other and use my gamer profile on both, but for pirating reasons they don't allow that feature. I also have 4 kids, I shouldn't have to buy a game 5 times to play it with my kids.
Move to China, Russia, or Canada. After reading today's Slashdot news I don't know why anyone would want to live in the Western World.
You can't buy lab equipment since in the West that would make you a drug maker or a terrorist.
You can't create innovative software that does something better than an established market, because you're infringing on a patent. (The whole MPEG-LA thing...)
You can't grow one of the most useful plants known to man, because someone might ingest its bud and receive pleasure from it.
Honestly, Just move to another country that doesn't respect the US patents and start saving lives. I'm sure India would love to have your expertise. There is also the United Arab Emirates, and the other Oil producing nations that are actively building research facilities to help them compete when the oil runs out.
1) Why are they poring dispersants on the oil spill instead of coagulants?
2) Good on Shell for being proactive, to bad it took a major disaster to get a more comprehensive disaster plan.
All that said, I'm quite interested to see what Tesla can do with that $30,000 one.
And with the partnership with Toyota, I'd like to see what one of the major players could do with Tesla's battery technology.
When I bought my $18,000 Corolla, I was originally looking at a $40,000 Evo. I saw what other cars I could get for $40,000 and decided that I was better off paying cash for the Corolla and pocketing the left over $22,000 for other stuff. If gas prices keep rising it wouldn't take much to make the Model S affordable comparable to a Corolla. I tried justifying the Roadster and for a 100,000 mile lifetime on the vehicle gas prices would have to reach $13 a gallon to justify the Roadster over the Corolla, so just guestimating if gas prices reach $6 a gallon again the Model S becomes a comparable car again. Around my neck of the woods its already $2.90.
Thanks for the tip now that I see that I see that you can also hold down on a link to get it to open in a new window. Guess I should have spent more time playing with the browser. I feel kinda dumb now (or lazy for not looking it up...)
As for Hulu, I didn't realize it was licensing holding it up, I thought there was some additional functionality that Hulu uses that wasn't available for the Android version of Flash.
You're missing a couple of additional points.
The cost of living in San Francisco is 70% above the national average. So flagging to them still makes that car affordable.
Second the model S is competing for the $40,000 - $60,000 Sedan market. Audi has a great filter where you can set the price and see all their cars in that price range. That is what the model S is competing against.
If you keep up with Tesla you know they also are working on a car that would be at or under $30,000 for their next model. They are going from luxury cars down to consumer cars for everyone. They are hoping that early adopters will finance the cars for everyone else. They are after all a tech company turned automaker, not the other way around.
In 2008 between April and December I put 25,015 miles and spent $2,557.20 on Gas and $1,118.99 on Oil changes, tags, and insurance. Putting cost of ownership for 2008 on my Corolla at $3,676.19. In 2009 I drove 23,273.5 miles spending $2,260.98 and spent $922.17 on other maintenance. Bringing it to $3,183,15. I haven't logged my 2010 usage yet, but I still have the receipts filed.
For me a nissan leaf won't work because it doesn't have enough juice to get me to and from work. I need a car with at least a 200 mile range to feel safe. I would like to be closer to work, but my wife works 55 miles in the opposite direction and we bought our house to split the difference.
$3,000 would have been more accurate; but I also bought a Sequoia in 2009 and don't track fuel in it and sometime use it for the commute and all vacation traveling so that is why the numbers went down in 2009.
Well of course they will have to follow through, because you have a political system that, despite its flaws, gives representation to third parties so everyone's political views can be represented. In the US, if you vote for a "third party" you are throwing your vote away (more or less), in the UK if you vote for a "minor" political party, chances are they will have at least some representation in government.
YOU ARE NOT THROWING YOUR VOTE AWAY!
It is the best way to tell both parties to shove their policies up their ass. The polls show how many people are voting 3rd party and if even if your guy doesn't win it shows in the polls. The TEA party is doing fairly well against both Republican's and Democrats. I don't support the TEA party because they are still repressive social conservatives, but I do keep up with Ron Paul and the campaign for liberty.
I want to see the war on drugs ended.
I want to see our troops removed from foreign soil.
I want the income tax repealed and some form of consumption based tax to replace it.
I would also like to see us use our new social technologies to start replacing some parts of the government, there is no reason for government mandated tax funded pork projects. If a project needs funding it should be funded by the people who want it, by donations. The money used to lobby for a tax to pay for it should be used to advertise for donations to the project. It could then be held in a government backed security until its funding goals are reached, but everyone shouldn't be required to pay insane taxes for a useless project. That and all of us who want to support NASA projects could donate more of what we pay in taxes now to something we actually find useful.
Tabbed Browsing (or Sudo Tabbed). I'm so used to reading an article and opening the links in article in additional tabs, then either reading the tangent and returning to the original article or finishing the article and then going back and reading the tangets I found interesting.
Hulu Support. You tube doesn't having anything worth watching, but when I'm bored it would be nice to be able to pull up Full Metal Alchemist.
Yes you missed something. Comparable cars to the Model S would be BMW's, Audi's, etc. Base model Audi's start at $32,000, base model BMW's start at $30,000. The original Roadster was $110,000 and the sport model is toping $140,000. So yeah the model S is more affordable, especially considering it will save you over $4,000 a year in oil and gas charges. And I'm basing that $4,000 a year off my 35 MPG Corolla, compared to maintenance on a comparable car I'm sure it would be more.
I've started saving for my model S. The Corolla is just to hold me over. I hope to have a Model S within 5 years.
Actually... Christianity doesn't give a shit what non-believers do. Focus on the Family on the other hand does as do all the Churches that follow that wacko movement. Also the wacko group that want to turn the US into a theocracy. Jesus Christ himself could give a shit less. What he does ask of believers is to evangelize; but never to condemn. There is that whole log in your own eye thing that Christians forget about. Then there is the fact that Jesus Christ was anti establishment. He was a rebel and mocked the religious authority of the day. He made wine, hung out with prostitutes. He didn't condemn them; he condemned the religious establishment.
