  1. picture a thought bubble with thoughts fighting, hand grenades, "ahhhhh, help.....!!!!" "go on without me, I'll hold off the enemy" bang, bang, kapow!! ...

  3. the only real issue here, is the AGW crowd started the "big power grab' before the 'debate was over'. Had they just played the religion a little longer and let the indoctrinated school children get into voting age - it would have worked. Now it's up for grabs. ...

  5. I suspect it's not an Exxon execs (and all the others on your list of AGW crushers) vs GW radicals kind of issue. Given - 1 - the execs are smart 2 - the execs are in energy companies 3 - etc et I suspect they have plans that benefit their shareholders REGARDLESS of whether it's 'business as usual' OR 'the envirofanatics gets their way'. In fact, I bet the most profitable business plan they have involves the conflict continuing on for as long as possible in order to profit from both sides with contingencies for several versions of either side of the conflict "winning" the debate and the following power grab in the aftermath. That would be the company I'd invest in right now. The second the AGW guys start to lose serious ground, just watch these 'evil' execs you demonize become so green you'd puke. They want the boat to rock. Of course, at that point they'll suddenly become converted and your big heros. ...

  7. nonsense - the whole point is that it CAN'T be figure out by definition an agnostic recognizes that there is no way to prove or disprove a being that is 'defined' as acknowledged by FAITH alone - Faith being a condition of belief existing in the total absense of any proof. An agnostic doesn't care one way or the other. Believers and Atheists seem to care quite a bit. Both about their own faith, and especially about what others believe on a totally subjective issue. ...

  8. that's a religion too - so if they were obnoxious about it, go to the curb ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
  9. If they were fanatical about it? (any religion, including the fanatical sect of atheism) it would prevent me. Ditto on fanatical politics, etc. But it never would have gotten past the first few dates. ...

  10. Same advice as for Skimmer for suit repairs and mods. figure out what a decent hourly rate is for you then put together a list of services you'll do based on that shop rate and how long you estimate it takes to do each of those jobs (plus materials, etc) it's also a nice way to figure out ahead of time which of those "easy" jobs are that are just a lot more time than the customer thinks they are ...

  12. outlawing umbrellas and requiring sprinklers? - I read that as humor cynical/wry humor reflecting the idiocy of some gun law proposals ironic humor in that it seems more and more nutjobs would take sprinklers as a serious crime prevention method....(case in point, running, whistles, outlawing butter knives, sympathizing with criminals, etc etc etc ad nauseum) but definitely humor ...

  14. Those wacky Illinoisians. I once 'shot' a guy with a whistle. Cut up the back of his hand pretty bad. I suspect he needed a bandaid. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
  15. "Skimmer, I need (thing). Is it in your purse?" Then she tells me where the purse is and I go get it. So she knows if I'm in the purse..... Otherwise, why would I ever venture into that pit? Bringing it to the woman so she can search it? I don't understand why - unless it's a huge purse, or it stinks of makeup or perfume and I don't want that stench on me.....or it's full of used snot rags, etc ...

  18. it's already at the phase transition point, then your little ratio of 0.49e/1T doesn't apply you failed to provide the student the appropriate level of instruction prior to the test - that's just poor teaching certainly that's the point you're making, but I can't stand inferential debates, they are too smug ...

  21. one could say - "at the time, it was the best info he thought he had - hell, several countries felt the same way based on the same intelligence, er data. But now he has new info and if there's not WMDs, er real AGW support, the real test of his character is to see if he makes the right decision based on the new info." End this war ...

  23. +1. +2 I 'cheated' by initially learning to sit with running shorts and a sweatshirt. Then moved to a big baggy suit like everyone else at the time..... Sure....I got into a 'sitlike' position pretty quick. Then spent the rest of the next year learning terrible habits all the way into suit buying and into headdown for the next few years. Finally, we starting thinking about the dynamics of the airflow. What's amazing is that every suit my wife has made for me since has been tighter and tighter. And every single time, my flying has taken a step function better just due to the suit being fitted. My current suit has a torso that fits like a RW comp suit, and straight cuffs in the arms and legs with double fabric layers at the extremes, not bigger, just more drag where it counts. Spending time having a suit fly your body instead of YOU flying your body is counterproductive. Flapping material really throws a person around and they don't even know it at the time. It's true for FF, it's true for RW. Smooth and streamlined is the best way to learn control. Flapping material may be perceived as helpful in learning. IMHO - it hurts learning MUCH more than any help it gives. ...

  24. We already have something of that sort with big companies and it would work a LOT better than 'hoping' the owner dies - Incentive stock options - Stock purchase plans - etc people get the benefits even when the BOD or the primary owner lives or dies ...
