    It's real, it's a real great way to get money from the government for made up science.

    Yes, that's my opinion, but this backs it up.

    I want a refund.

    and you've convince me that you're a fool.

    Tough words. Really they are not so tough that they cannot be typed correctly. I wager you got beat up more than once last year in middle school.

    you should cut back on whatever it is you're smoking.

    Is this how you normally deal with someone who disagrees with what you say? If it's personal than we can terminate this exchange.

    Year 2002 - Walmart is responsible for 2.3% of America's GNP. That's a significant splash in a very large pond.

    an accessory to Walmart's evil?

    I'll never understand the paranoia surrounding Walmart.

    You benefit from Walmart's business acumen in a myriad of ways.

    You should be familiar with division of labor principles.
    That's the only explanation I know of how I can in many regions buy a loaf of bread for less than $1 in 2006!

    Many economists argue walmart has stabilized the american economy to such a degree to have prevent situations that would be compared to the Great Depression.

  5. Fly Luggage Class! - Save! on Coffin Hotels Opening Near You · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would like to see flights with capsules.


    Since I'm over 2m tall, the seats are extremely uncomfortable.


    If I could opt for a coffin and an unfolded nap, I would almost certainly do so.


    Then weight distribution would be easy for the airlines.


    Of course there's safety issues, "someone please think of the children."

  6. new reality show on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 1

    Let's take three tv show producers and put them alone on the Mir space station.
    Leave them there for six months to solve "real problems" like leaks, power outages
    and other life threatening shit. Then save the return trip cash because those
    assholes are frozen corpses.
    The highlight of the film is when they realize they can't fix anything and are
    sure to die. Then through the intercom the announcement for the spectacularly low
    ratings arrives.

    I had some "friends" who told me that since I did not grow tomatoes from seed I was not a gardener.

    Maybe I missed something but all I found was an unsupported claim. Nothing on how they arrive at their results, nothing on what the results are, in short, nothing. A bunch of nurds speculating on an empty claim doesn't change that.

  14. Re:Have you ever??? on Utilizing Bio-fuel Beyond Experimental Use · · Score: 3, Informative
    Have you ever seen a biodiesel vehicle in operation? White smoke pumping out.

    This is simply a function of the efficiency of the vehicle in question. It's not a problem of any single fuel. Biodiesel burns quite clean in an efficient engine at operating temperature.

    Have you ever smelled a biodiesel vehicle in operation or at rest? Uhg! What a stench.

    I have yet to smell one that was offensive to me. The worst I've smelled was a bit remimniscent of carmelization. Diesel smells much worse.

    Have you ever driven a biodiesel vehicle? They are a bit quieter than when running on regular diesel but they also lack power compared to when running on regular diesel.

    No. I've driven an SVO for a year. It had more power on the vegetable oil than the diesel. The fuel system ran smoother and the engine knocked less.

    Biodiesel may become more widely used in commercial or off-road applications but, it will never take off for highway vehicles.

    What do you mean take off? A certain percentage of auto-diesels are operating on it right now. Maybe you should say "everyone that uses biodiesel is a hoser, and can take off", or just grumble to your friends at the refinery.

    Bill Watterson had the right idea. I used to go straight for the comics when I had the newspaper. Not any more. They took the funny out of the funnies. Oh well, I'll just get my jollies online. It's so much more fun.

    There's no reason it wouldn't work. If you have any concerns, ask for a sample and put it on the stove and heat it up. If it has water in it, it will splatter as the water boils. That's the only way I could see any problems there.
