Science Abuse

BWAHAHAHAHA!! Way to go, Baseless Blanket statement! I can't imagine the size of the ass from which your numbers were pulled. Oh wait, yes I can, was it as big as his? http://thenewsjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/limbaugh.jpg -Cap and trade to create energy cost increases as high as 75%? You know where that number came from? The above mentioned fella's with the guns to your head, and you've got Stockholm Syndrome. They are threatening you with that to keep you from messing with their bonuses. These people need to clean their shit up, and it needs to eat into their massive profits. If you see energy increases of 75% anywhere, I guarantee you there will be riots. Do you have any idea how manufacturing works? Job growth is crap because all business owners have their asshole clinched tight in the wake of the recession that your boys did everything they could to put off until after the election. The administration took measures to ensure those asshats didn't go under, but now that many are leveling out and posting a few profits, they're STILL not hiring. Why? Because they're making money in their current state and they're not going to change that. All a president can do is ask them "please to start hiring peeplez?". Question: If you were a small business, would you hire ANYONE in an environment where people are stingy with their money? Hell no, you need demand before you can produce supply. News flash, there are mechanisms within the health care legislation the help small buisness owners cover their few employees. What you've bought into, again, is the BS from the guys with the guns to your head. "Do anything to mess with our profits, and I'll shoot the bunny in the head." Small buisness owners aren't leading the charge with your argument, Wal Mart is. Large companies with thousands of employees that can afford to treat them decent. Things are top heavy, its Pareto distribution (though worse then he had envisioned), and that is a major problem that gets people called "commie". Fact: Conservatives are always pining about the good 'ol boom days of the 50s when things were great "cuz Christians were in charge." Fact: Back in those days, the Factory Worker, Bank Manager, Buisness owner all lived on the same block, because they all made about the same amount of money. Back in the "good ol days", upper management positions made much much less. I don't picket Burger King because people choose to put that shit in their bodies. When discussing "environmental issues", we're talking about the stuff that surrounds us on a daily basis... you know, our environment.

https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml Gutless debate tactic, and entirely false. The introduction of the automobile killed horsebreeding and carriage building. Should we have prevented that from happening? As long as there is a demand for energy, there will be an energy industry. There will be a demand for vehicles, no matter what you produce. I seriously doubt that the production of electricity employs that many people to begine with, and there can only be more jobs created by doing a change-over: -People need to build the turbines and Nuke plants (yes, nukes). -People need to tear down the cola plants. -People need to build engines, because people need get around. In point of fact, your stance is actually COSTING more jobs than anything else is right now: From the day it opens to the day it closes, a factory seeks efficiency. Over the decades these operations have been trimmed down to teh bare minimum of employees the increase the profits of the company. The longer they are unchanged, the more efficient they become, and the less people they employ. These lazy bastards have been holding the economic gun to our heads for the last half century: "MESS WITH MY LUNCH, AND I'LL BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF". If we mess with their bottom line, they'll but more workers on the dole. have you not realized that they DO IT ANYWAY? If the coming changes actually DO lead to a loss of jobs, it is entirely the fault of the industries that are unable to adapt. It is those cowards who are arguing against environmental legislation and against new energy forms, and you're listening to them. You're fighting for nothing more than their retirement, and in return you're getting sick grandkids. Are you serious? Did you just take the platform; "If it's not happening to me, it's not happening at all"? To answer your question: Emissions ARE an improper disposal of toxic material. Feeling confident? I invite you to feed some good'ol Ohio River Catfish to you pregnant loved ones, do it once a week. Not going to do it? Why not? Ok, because catfish tastes like shit, but if it didn't...?

Need your 9 digit Zip Code, there's a 4 digit suffix you're missin'.

Shit costs money! I'll write you a letter.

Please do me a favor and stop +Repping and complimentng me. Just pass this on. Write your congressman, scrawl it into a baseball bad and go about impringting foreheads.....

See.... this is entirely missing the point of the posting. The point is that the argument of man-made global warming is entirely irrelevant, and the argument is distracting us from the real problems. People arguing for and agaist man-made global warming are idiots, because there is entirely too much data to ever be compiled into one definitive Yes or No. It's all statistics, and statistics are made to be skewed. It's entirely a political issue, as both side can never proove they are right. It's brought up by people who love to argue. -Emissions do need to be cut, because that shit is making us sick NOW. Not because it might flood the world in 20 year. -Restrictions on pollutants need to be made more strict because it's effecting our quality of life NOW, not because of what it may or may not do to life later. But no, you don't hear about any of the real, proven science that says we need to clean up, because there's no money to be made off of it. No one wants to give grants to places that do non-global warming related environmental research, because there's no political capital in it. It's that fucking simple. So as our proverbial ship is sinking, the people in charge are arguing over the color of the iceberg and doing nothing to stop the damned leak! While you, the news, and our elected offials bitch and moan over some assholes emails, the waters are being poised, the skies are being choked, and our natural resources are being raped and squandered. Global warming isn;t a debate, it's an idustry. It's not Science anymore, it's a reality show.

While major news agencies are foaming over "climat egate", we've all be missing out on shit like this: http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/BBC_deletes_important_story_on_toxic_waste_dumping_in_the_Ivory_Coast_after_legal_threats,_12_Dec_2009 http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/may/13/trafigura-ivory-coast-documents-toxic-waste That is some Captain Planet villain shit right there. I'm sure those people don't give two fucks about carbon emissions.

Another family oldie: http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/3097/accutron.jpg Bulova Accutron, circa 1966'ish. Interesting story behind this one; it was the most cutting edge, state of the art, top of the line time piece you could by... for about ten years, which is the blink of an eye in watch-history. It's got a "tuning fork", that vibrates at X frequency when those copper wound coils get a charge. This is a constant rate, and the movement is based off of that frequency. When they came out, they were the most accurate watches you could buy, everyone who had a professional need for accurate timekeeping had one, they were issued by numerous militaries. The clocks on board the lunar spacecraft were powered by Accutron moments (though the astronauts wore mechanical Omega's) And then the Quartz movement debuted and made them obsolete. More accurately, it made their cost obsolete. The Quartz did it better and cheaper.

I haven't seen it as much as one would think. Switzerland has no language of its own, and German is one of the official ones, as well as french. It seems you're more likely to find French on a swiss watch than German, so most Uhren Fabrik are/were German, like older Hanharts or Glashutte.

Not really a "him": Uhr" is Deutsche for clock/watch, more generally "timepeice". Rober Urhen just means "Robert Watches".

A side effect of massive clanking brass balls is a slowed walking pace: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/8402557.stm

The Isle Royale ferry leaves from Eagle Harbor, just on the other side of the peninsula. The lake drops to about 800ft within a mile of shore, the swells can really come in for a poundin'.

http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/glcfs.php?lake=l&ext=wv&type=F&hr=15 The wave forcast for Lake Erie is just as impressive! Shame it's going to peak at night, in the dark. Around 11 tonight, the waves between Cleveland and Long Point (Canada) are supposed to be near 25ft, but will die down to to 15-20ft by dawn.

Jaws is famous and has been huge this week.... but if we're talking world wide, the Cortes Bank is bigger.

People don't know what incontinent means? Look it up, I'm sure you'll use the word all the time! "North Coast Surfing", or something like that. Superior is their Maui, winter is their peak season... yes, drysuits. The bad part about the stretch of shore nearest the peak waves today is, it will smash you to a pulp. Here are some of the few storm shots that the google can find. I'm surprise some of these guys could find time to pick up a camera. Lake Erie: http://www.ec.gc.ca/water/images/manage/floodgen/photo2.jpg http://americanhistory.si.edu/onthewater/assets/graphic/full/5027.jpg Lake Superior: http://www.mhsd.org/photogallery/bgjones-rm.jpg http://www.northernimages.com/Lake-Superior/Lake-Superior-Shores-1/TD-0251/279032502_CZg4S-M.jpg http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com/uploads/lakesup2.jpg http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com/uploads/lakesup3.jpg Pictured Rocks

Get in your car right now, and drive as fast as you can to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It's pretty enough on its own, then add this: http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/glcfs.php?lake=l&ext=wv&type=N&hr=00 Waves are supposed to hit 20-25ft before the gale is done. See 25ft sea wavse and try not to be impressed. See 25ft freshwater waves and try not to be incontinent; they're much steeper, faster, and in much quicker succession.

You're supposed to ask to join in, it's a federal law. "Hey ladies, like your jobs? I like jobs, too... lots of jobs.... I mean blowjobs, chist I thought you two were good with words, try to keep up."

Omega has been around for quite a while, you could find some decent examples from years-past in your price range. Aged and older. You'll have to do some scrolling.

That's ok Joe, I'll still sell them to you.

That's what you get for wearing a hat inside, that dude is just a nun on roids.

What brakes do you have in front? If you have the WRX 2-pot calipers in the front, you'll need a grind-job like I did to mine. The OD of the tire will be 2 inches bigger than what you've got now, eating up an inch of your wheel gap, have you got it to spare?

Snowed today, didn't it? I drove 'round like normal today, it was actually kind of boring.
