The recipes all originally came from Germany back in the 19th century, if my memory of the History Channel documentary isn't faulty. So they're not American recipes. Busch, Miller, and Coors were all German immigrants who brough their recipes here with them. One (I don't remember which) brought grain from Germany to grow for his brewery.
And it's more than just the recipe. Budweiser brewed in New Jersey is even worse swill than that brewed in St Louis.
AB has breweries all over the world producing Bud. The recipe is German (Busch and Michelob are American recipes, Michelob was first brewed in 1896, the year my grandfther was born, Busch in 1954, the year my sister was born), the breweries are not owned by Americans, so how can you say Bud, Miller, and Coors are American?
BTW, I haven't read Romney's tax returns. How much were his taxes reduced by charitable deductions? I hear it was significant.
Actually, that's the one thing I heard about Romney that I like -- he gave to charity (my ex-wife is Mormon, they're required to tithe 10%) and didn't take the deduction. I don't know if he gave any other charitable contributions or if the Mormons help the poor, though.
I won't be voting for him. Since Obama will win Illinois in a landslide, I'm voting Green Party; Obama and Romney both want me and most of my friends (and many of your friends and family) in prison. The Libbies and Greens don't. In Illinois, a vote for Obama or Romney is wasted, because the counts will be so skewed that the only votes that matter are "none of the above" (I.e., Greenies and Libbies).
a "study" that showed that circumcision somehow reduces the risk of AIDS transmission
If you'd read the study (not "study", it was real science from a university) you'd see that the mechanism was clearly described, as were the numbers. Your comment is a good example of what the subject is about: you're 100% convinced that circumcision is evil, so any study that says otherwise muct be faulty.
Why was a woman even involved in the AAP's 2012 statement on routine male genital mutilation when I've been simultaneously told that as a man I have no right to say anything about abortion
Who told you that, your sister? Nobody in the science community has said any such thing. You do realise that male scientists work in the field of fertility? That male doctors perform abortions? That you just mentioned abortion while saying mentioning it was forbidden?
What ties and interests does John Hopkins University have in promoting routine male genital mutilation?
It's up to you who question their study to answer that. My guess would be "none whatever."
Science is looking at the methodology employed in that study and going, "Hey... wait a second. WTF?" However, that study is just one glaringly obvious work of pseudoscience in a sea of much more subtle social and psychological and other "soft science."
Yet you still haven't pointed out errors make you say "WTF?" except that the study contradicts your personal, unscientific opinion.
That guy that claimed to resolder his modem to get more bps would probably be a meme these days.
I see you haven't done much soldering. If there was a bad solder joint on the modem (not unusual to see in consumer electronics), it would not have been up to spec and would have been noisy at best, unusable at worst. If there was a bad joint to a ground you're going to introduce hum, which would REALLY slow that modem down. Resoldering the bad joint would indeed have sped it up.
Luke 7:33-34: For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Yes, God drinks. Emanual == God With Us. Why do you think he invented alcohol? I mean, except keeping the Irish from conquering the world?
What I can't understand is how the GP got modded up on a nerd site! I swear, there should be some way to make sure only nerds get mod points; any nerd would have modded that luddite to oblivion.
But anyway, if you're living in Springfield, IL an electric car isn't environmentally friendly; the power comes from coal and natural gas. But if you're in Clinton, IL, your electric car is nuclear powered. If you live by the TVA your car is hydro powered. Fact is, if every car were electric, we'd be burning fewer fossil fuels, even though over half of the cars would be fossil-powered. Now, almost 100% of cars are fossil-powered.
Sure, it's the same on the outside, but what about the stuff inside and possible outcomes if, say, it gets involved in a serious accident?
It won't explode if it doesn't catch fire. The JOL won't hurt the operator unless the engineers who designed the car are dumb enough to run high voltage cables through the doors.
I can't see how an electric car can be anything but safer than a gasoline car.
It's one of those word-salad words you see in power supply reviews, used simply to adhere to the fake rule of not using the same word twice.
Redundancy is boring, which is why that rule is there. Of course, research papers don't have that rule; I read one at work once where the word "enumerate" was used five times in the first paragraph while the word "count" wasn't in the paper a single time.
You can make a crap movie out of thin air as easily as you can make a crap movie from an existing story. And you can make a crap movie from an existing story with the rightsholders' permission, ever see the awful SyFy channel's adaptation of "Nightfall"? Boring as hell, while the short story was as interesting as the movie was boring.
Indeed, language does change, as anyone who's ever seen Shakespeare or a King James Bible knows. Yet "hither" and "yon" are still words; just because they're little used doesn't take away their status as real words. Meanwhile, I've only seen "cromulent" used in its original meaning, which is making fun of newly coined words by coining a new word.
I don't follow the logic. New technology making it easier to create content isn't really related to patent and copyright law directly
technology, science and art have things in common, including the "shoulders of giants". Everything new comes from the old. Had today's copyrights existes when Disney made Pinnochio, they would have had to buy the rights from Grimm's heirs.
The guy who wrote "catcher in the rye" successfully sued another author for writing a sequel. You have a great idea for making TV shows and movies about Asimov's Foundation series? Sorry, you can't, his widow won't let you.
Asimov died thirty years ago, his stuff should be in the public domain.
So do I, but it's the only language you have for web browsers. I'd like to see a scripting language that was more like low level languages than like C.
Yes, I admit, I do little to no real programming any more, I used to use languages like assembly, dBase, NOMAD, DOS shell scripts... none of those frustrating curly braces and crap like that. The advantage of these languages is you have to know how the machine works to use them, the disadvantage to them is that you have to know how the machine works to use them.

Well, if you're going to shorten it, you can borrow W8 from me, that's what I've been calling it.
You can, it's called the Firehose. Now, mods, please mod me and the parent offtopic. Thx.

Or it's simply coincidence.

I do believe there are political opinions that outright contra-factual, including quite a few associated with my party of choice.
That's why I don't have a "party of choice".

If there's only one candidate, you can still leave the box empty.
That's what I do even if I think (s)he'll do a good job. When I only see one candidate I feel like I'm living in the Soviet Union.
The door is open. All you gotta do is step through.
The door's too big for one person to enter alone.
