  1. My banking institution does not like Pokerstars. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  2. Paul, how hard was it to install the venting? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  3. I've designed them into hundreds of condos and apartments. I wouldn't install it as a renovation, just new work - unless you're gutting the house and starting over. They're best application is where the footprint is an issue, venting is easy, on-demand hot water is requested, and the house is large enough that there will be a return or break even point on how much more efficient they are. If you want to do something efficient then install a solar collector. You're in a great area for this. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  4. Yup, the best way out is to set a budget and pay it off. Most debt consolidation uses rates that are barely better than a decent credit card. For the damage it all does to you it's not worth it. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  5. There's no "government side" that I'm taking. I think what this movie demonstrates is that people are willing to swallow what's told to them without verifying it for themselves. Some of their points are right, some are wrong. Go verify it for yourself and quit just taking the government's word, this movie's word or MY word. Edit: I've already posted examples of things that were wrong. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  6. Every once in a while I paused the movie to check a fact. Many were wrong. If you're not willing to do that and you take this movie for the truth and don't question it then I can't help you. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  7. Oh hell, they couldn't even keep the fake moon landing a secret. http://youtube.com/watch?v=GuwyY2DzO2I "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  8. I don't know but we're definitely going into wars over bogus reasons, I just don't take this film as the factual spokespiece. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  9. That's correct it's what started the collapse, but we need to separate the concepts. The second thing that happened was that the floors pancaked and destroyed the structure within the core as it fell. This movie is saying that it would be impossible without large-scale demolition charges.

  10. So you've never heard of the chemical but know that it only needs to be used sparingly? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  11. CSI Miami wasn't going to find anything at the Pentagon. It's a military base, they needed to clear the mess and get back to work. A plane flew into it. It was documented. What else was there to figure out? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  12. The brother of our old director of engineering had a very well put-together report on the collapse. I'll see if I can find it. But basically, the movie shows the structure as depending almost entirely on the central columns and that the collapse would have been impossible if it were not for demolition charges shearing the columns. Very untrue. Once a single floor went, it was all over. (Nope, couldn't find report.) "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  13. This quote... "An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland." ...is stated in the film to be said by both GWB and Hitler as is delivered as proof for the obvious comparison. It seems to have come out of thin air; nobody can find where EITHER of them have said it. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  14. Hey if people have nothing worth stealing...no stealing. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    I'm in. I'm more of a barbecue person but I've put together the occasional tasty meal. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  16. Story Surprised? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  17. Statements that WTC was planted with explosives so that it would fall down very presicely. -If someone has already decided that they're going to cause destruction that scale, then who gives a crap what else it takes down. Nevermind the massive scale it would take to install and wire these things in a highly secure building. Their description of the collapse was incorrect. They show the slabs to shear at the interior columns, stressing that those are the major structural members. In actuality the Towers took much of their support fromthe perimeter structure, a structural tube design. The interior columns didn't stand a chance once the slabs started pancaking and snapped like toothpicks. http://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/0112/Eagar/Eagar-0112.html No wreckage found at the Pentagon. - Wrong No wreckage found at the Pentagon. -Black box found 25 ft underground No wreckage found at WTC. - You're right, we saw 50 camera angles of it going in but it must have snuck out the back. Other quotes are used out of context or are said in a way that are misleading, such as W. Wilson's quote about us being controlled by creditors. In this piece it says it was (after ratifying the federal reserve) years later that he wrote this. It was actually not something he wrote in the academic sense but was part of his speech in his NEXT campaign. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  18. Don't blame you, but that's a shame because you're going to miss out on some good movies. It is overused, and can be distracting, but I don't think it's just a lazy way of injecting excitement. It can't be easy to shoot and edit in that way and still have the audience understand what's going on. What bugs me is the way that style has filtered through to TV. You're watching a static interview, and the camera's doing ridiculous whip pans and zooms, and looking up people's nostrils - are our attention spans really that shot? I'll use Bourne Supremacy and Transformers as examples. I recognize the effort to make the viewer feel like we're there, but it's a shitty gimick and I'm looking forward to the fad being over. No, I'm not talking about the wandering cam. yeah, that was annoying too. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  19. It's good fiction. Very well put together. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  20. I'm boycotting all movies that use "shaky-cam". It's shitty directing and makes me nauseaus. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  21. From My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin: Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli: You know, it's dangerous for you to be here in the frozen food section. Shaldeen: Why is that? Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli: Because you could melt all this stuff. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  22. The Looter!! Good work. The looter pictures were great but I think the websites are all gone now. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  23. She looks like a Shanghai Surprise. Have fun with that. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  24. Nope. She's a cum dumpster. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  25. Holy shit, those are hilarious. I think a moderator needs to move this to Bonfire - Just because it's probably never happened. C'mon Bill Von. how about a DZ.com first!?!? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
