I was flipping through the book Numbers and You: A Numerology Guide for Everyday Living (25 cents at a thrift store)
and found this:
Number 8 Person
If you were born on the 8th, 17th, or 26th of the month, you have a deep, intense personality and will often exhibit maturity beyond your biological years. You're basically serious-minded and philosophical in your approach to life. Your ambitious nature could lead to success in public life. You're not afraid to involve yourself in work or projects that require personal sacrifice. Of all the birth numbers, yours tends to be misunderstood the most. This may account for the loneliness and isolation you feel from time to time. Deep down, however, you're really warm and caring once others get drawn into you. Your birth number is ruled by Saturn, drawing you to people born in the months of January and October. Saturday is your best day out of seven.
Which is quite flattering to my biases in some ways.
Dammit, now I really need to buy that book.
I'd be glad to type in your horoscope if you'd like.
There's no technical impediment to reprocessing, but due to the US and Russia disarmament , HEU is really cheap. See the Recycled Nuclear Fuel Cost Calculator. I don't think many countries do any reprocessing besides maybe Japan, I forget that exact one.
I just finished reading much of The Nuclear Weapons FAQ, and it seems that even builing an implosion bomb isn't *that* difficult, especially compared to producing weapons grade plutonium/uranium. Gun type bombs are easy to make, but that still leaves purifying 3% U235 to >80%, and the associated fun dealing with fluorine.
I was flipping though a book on learning French just killing time, and cracked up when I found out that America used retarded as a euphemism, since it just means slow.
Somewhat related, I had a cool time at a party talking with some Europeans and an Aussie, about how edible meat uses French words (beef, poultry, pork, etc).
You may be interested in learning more about cases of confirmation bias. The wiki article is pretty good, and there are all sorts of books about it. I haven't personally read 'Why People Believe Weird Things' by Michael Shermer, but I plan to.
I'd been drinking rather heavily, and got kicked out of my relative's house.
After a few days, I ended up calling the police because I was hallucinating rather vividly.
I was committed for observation, diagnosed with schizophrenia, and given sedatives.
(apparently the only drugs psychiatrists know exist, besides ritalin, are sedatives)
The hallucinations went away after about a week or so, when I'd gone through withdrawl
and was eating normally. However, no amount of reason would convince anyone involved
that I wasn't hearing voices, and much "unpleasentness" occurred with people that supposedly
cared for me trying to chemically lombotomize me.
Then, I saw an episode of House, Forever, where heavy alcohol use caused hallucination
though vitamin deficiency, pellagra. In pursuit of scientific truth, I got extremely drunk
for ~5 days, without eating much of anything. Results: vivid hallucinations.
Cure: Vitamin B3, and hallucination go away.
So, remember when that while House is made to be rather riduculous, it's far more accurate
in terms of basic medical science than the field of psychiatry ever will be.
Availability to Rats of Iron from Spinach: Effects of Oxalic Acid, which agrees that calcium oxalate is not readily bioavailable, but says that the iron in spinach is actually more bioavailable with the addition of oxalic acid. The only "spinach iron myths" I could find in half an hour of searching were basically bad paraphrases of the wikipedia page, which agrees with 20% RDA iron, but repeats that the iron is not bioavailable because of oxalate.
Furthermore, any reference to Dr. E. Von Wolf and his 1870 mistake are only repititions, with no name or anything about his study.
I am know going to wash my brain with bleach, for I know not how, after endless searching though blog after blog, mindlessly parroting one another, I would long for a simple citation.
Canned spinach has 20% calcium and 10% iron, beans have 4% calcium and 10% iron per serving,
and if you're vegan, you're probably gonna be eating much more than a serving per meal, and those are just two foods that I happen to have convenient. If you put any thought into choosing a vegan diet, it's quite simple to have sufficient vitamins, apart from B12, and your liver stories a year+ supply.
I doubt that they're going to make administrative infractions anything more than fines, since that'd be killing the cash cow for lots of places. Also, like you point out, so many people commit them, and don't really consider them a crime, that changing the punishment to hard time or such would be political suicide. However, the people in charge of such things don't have the best track record for acting rationally.
Dear god I want to clorox my brain for reading and understading that. Truely sir, you are the dark prince himself, and have created myspace as a sign that your rule is nigh.
You're forgetting uppercase/lowercase combination, and the fact that ab needs to be different than ba, so the actual numbers needed would seems to be in the thousands, but I'm too lazy to check English letter pairings and do the math.
And you're exactly the kind of sheeple governments love to have, because you'll sign away your rights immediately based on some vague fear. Please, do me a favor, and if you live in the US or Europe, shoot yourself or go live in the wilderness where you can't screw up anyone's life but yourself.
That's probably cause Chicago is much smaller/compact than LA, so if you were say on Michigan avenue, it's still only a 15 min walk to somewhere there is real crime, and cops are aware of this. I remember stumbling drunk down Taylor street (upper south side, UIC area) after parties past now demolished housing projects and 5/6 cop cars would drive by because they had *actual* crime to deal with instead of drunken teenagers, or in your case jaywalkers. But yeah, I agree with you on that at least Chicago seems to have developed a symbiotic rhythm between pedestrians and motorists, which I always found cool.
Driving in Chicago is fun! It's like a high stakes poker game almost, between you, pedestrians and other cars. However, drivers in St Louis and Houston suck ass.
I'm ashamed to admit that I took the time to look the up, but wiki says the Cardigans are Swedish (though this shame has died alot since Leo went from Titanic to The Aviator and The Depareted.)
Maybe I watched too much History Channel, but 300 was crap for me. Aside from various outright historical fuckups (300 spartans + 1400 other greeks, some random Persian payoff, all greeks being pretty much NAMBLA members, etc...), they decided to make Xexres an 8ft tall... queer sexual deviant, alone with having crab claw monsters at his command. The Departed was the next last film I saw, and I considered it a thousand times better.
Damn straight. I was quite pleased when I saw that they had made a bond film where he was a cold blooded killer, not some suave "secret agent" cracking one liners. Gotta thank the rents for having some good taste in 60s paperbacks (alone with 1965 3book set of LOTR).
Considering that membership in the WTO is equivalent to a compramise between having other nations respect our laws and we respect theirs, and we clearly violated some outside agreement (that we both agreed to!), I fail to see what's scary?

The only real danger involved in heroin use (aside from strawmen involving legality and impurities) is respiratory depression, and that's solvable by controlled usage. I mean, hell, they give it to infants, and Postoperative morphine dose and duration may prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation but there are no significant dose-dependent effects on other parameters including apnoea or hypotension following extubation in term neonates.
In addition, heroin probably produces less nausea than morphine, by analogy with aspirin and salicylic acid, and given that junkies tend to eat less, probably increases lifespan through caloric restriction.

If you're gonna post a link to explosives information, why not go for the bible (The Chemistry of Powder and Explosives ), not some retard's "cookbook".

I could rent R rated movies at the local Blockbuster as long as my parents had checked some box saying it was OK in the late 90s.
Damn you! I thought I'd never have to hear about JonKatz again! Curse you for soiling my mind!

There already is translucent concrete. It's quite pretty looking, however it's 5x as expensive as normal concrete right now. Here are some more pictures of a similar product.
Correction: You are outside grilling, unless you plan to tend your BBQ pit all though the night. BBQ sauce does not a BBQ make...
