  1. Interesting to note the main heat source for planet earth is almost never figured into he equations.

    That would be the Sun, which does not have a fixed output. Solar activity does make a difference.

     

    When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s, they preached that mama's White Rain was punching holes in the atmosphere, letting in more sunlight and letting out "good gases". 

  2. Tony Stewart showing up to race the roundy round this weekend?? 

     

    We rode out one Thurs night to watch the roundy rounds a couple of months ago, and it was actually a good time.  I hope that this is only "closing for the rest of this season" vs. closing altogether.    Its an institution.

  3. What?  I haven't heard about this anywhere on the news, so how... can.... it.... BE?   They're telling us everything.  "Most transparent administration ever" and all that stuff.  

    Gosh, I'm so tired of all the badmouthing of Obama.  He's awesome, cool, and a fair golfer.   I don't understand all the harshness.  RACISTS!!!!!

     

    (We all know that Valerie Jarrett is the REAL president.    Obama is just the sleight of hand).

     

    Time to cancel my Square service. 

    Does Paypal have this same type of "exclusion"?  Hmmmm.  Probably. (yes, it does...).

     

    I didn't see anything in the Intuit GoPayment TOS about "no firearms", but it seems that they do have this restriction in there somewhere.

     

    I'm glad that SS brought this to our attention, but it appears that all the hubbub was in May 2013.  Regardless, I need to find a gun friendly mobile reader.  I don't buy or sell 'em enough to worry about it, its just a matter of principle.  

     

    Boehner ads make me puke in my mouth.  

  4. I was recently in Canada and there were Tim Hortons everywhere.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there were more there than in the US.

    Yeah, they're kind of like Subway is here...  Or Starbucks in California.    Was in LA a few years ago, and there were literally two Starbucks shops caddy-corner across the street from each other.    Watched from the hotel window on Sunday morning as a group of Harley riders gathered at one for a meet-up. 

     

    TH IS Canadian, after all...

  5. People are pissed, not because it's illogical or illegal, but because it's unfair.  They benefit from U.S. infrastructure but don't want to pay for it.

     

    Companies now have the ability to discriminate based on religious grounds and contribute massive amounts of political money to super pacs with only the vaguest of disclosure.  They enjoy public infrastructure in ways that go far beyond an individual's, so why shouldn't they pay for the very environment that enables their profit?

     

    It's easy to say that the U.S. has high corporate tax rates which are driving companies out of country.  But like you guys allude to re: tax code, tax attorneys and CPAs make careers out of exploiting loopholes (and lobbying for loophole existence), and that will only go away if we vastly simplify the tax code.  But good luck making that happen without the balance being tilted even more towards corporations with corporate tax attorneys and CPAs on the scene to craft the simplifications.  It's like letting bankers and ex-bankers craft financial regulations.

    I actually agree with this, but want to point out that most CPA's I've asked about simplifying the tax code say "yes, PLEAAASE".   They wouldn't go out of business, it would just become easier to do their bidness.
