  1. Man, at this point I'd just like a single day with out Empty Head Greene on the pages.
  2. What happens in India is interesting. But we’re about to find out how important agency, education and equality is to women and young voters here in America. I wish I was more hopeful.
  3. The whole crappy mess truly sucks. I'd be a lot more OK with it if it wasn't so self inflicted. Some bastion of freedom we turned out to be.
  4. What settled science? Our home star is a main sequence star (save me Olof if I'm fucking up) with a relatively known life span. Sure, we've lately been gifted another unsettled billion years more or less but according to the Mandarins the planet will be roasted sure enough. I'm in concurrence that humanity is unlikely to make it to the final backyard BBQ. Actually, I've shortened my expectations of our species longevity to where I say it's time to give up giving a shit and start the party.
  5. I'll bet it's a real doozy at Thanksgiving, though.
  6. We'll just have to see who is right. For all we know the lifespan of the Earth might be 10's or 100's of billions of years or how ever long charcoal lasts after were roasted by our sun.
  7. That's the real point in my view. If we don't blow ourselves up we have, the cosmos willing, maybe 4.5 Billion years to go. It's not too soon to start conserving our 100 years supply, seems to me. Of course, in another billion years Amazon Galactic may be delivering complex molecules overnight through Prime worm holes. So there's that.
  8. I have no idea why anyone persists in the idea that we should be putting humans in space with todays technology. Besides the current infeasibility of it the arrogance is just stunning. Just look around at humanity. Do you really think we're fit to be showing up unannounced anywhere? Unless it's a sticks and knives WWIII I think we're best avoiding that as a team building exercise but that's probably just the liberal in me. Lastly, please do trim the fat off of that rib eye. It's marbled enough and you were probably told to look after your heart.
  9. And Tandems out of tall trees. Students might need to do their own hand cam, I suppose.
  10. Not every failure follows an historical template. Seems to me that our awesome planetary luck of having easily accessible fossil fuels to power our industrial and economic revolution is also slated to be our undoing. Without that benefit we'd be scrambling about at best. Some of us see that burning that limited resource, instead of conserving it for the even greater value those complex molecules provide over time, is detrimental. But we are all already defeated, seems to me. I think it's all over but the crying. Time to open the taps and hope we can fix it before we kill ourselves.
  11. Gotta tell you, Bill, you seem to have a real knack for this sort of thing. Along the same lines I need to put some headlight reflectors on the front gate, any suggestions?
  12. Even if integrated circuit chips become more readily available or even larger I, for one, am sticking with toilet paper.
  13. Well he is skilled at playing a number of posters here.
  14. Did you mean.....personal party is what the leadership needs?
  15. Can we add to the high crimes of trolling and ad hominem attacks simply not being up to the minimum speed?
  16. He's been forgiven.
  17. Not at all. I was simply exposing that you don't give a rats ass about other equal but different humans who only want to live the one life they've been gifted on the same terms as you, not that it was needed for this audience.
  18. Maybe. But what if the couple needed to travel 1000 miles or pay a $1000 premium as a penalty, would you still feel the same?
  19. Excellent. Now in addition to all else you're an election denier.
  20. Sure it does, as long as the correct people are chosen. Seems to me that announcing that 75% of the work force is scheduled for the guillotine might just inspire a few Twitter Nutters with options to look past the stock price and more towards suddenly being opposed to the sale. If so, it's a brilliant play.
  21. I'm thinking you don't have any IMHO's.
