  1. You must begin a reading program immediately so that you may understand the crises of our age. Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians, too. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected comic books. I recommend Batman especially, for he tends to transcend the abysmal society in which he's found himself. His morality is rather rigid, also.
  2. That jacket looks like something the maître d' found in the lost and found so he can be allowed in the door.
  3. Are you saying the Florida Panhandle is the Florida of Florida?
  4. Classic acid/base titration using phenolphthalein as an indicator. The beaker contained an acidic solution with a little phenolphthalein in it. Under acidic conditions, phenolphthalein is colorless. You slowly added drops of a base slowly increasing the pH. As soon as the pH reached a certain threshold (about pH = 8 iirc), phenolphthalein turns pink. One drop less, pH below the threshold = colorless. One drop past the threshold = pink. Before electronic pH indicators, by carefully measuring the volume of the acid in the beaker, and the delivered volume of the base with a known pH required to change the color, its fairly easy to calculate the exact pH of the acid in the beaker. FINALLY, that minor in chemistry comes in handy.
  5. The current court will overturn Griswold first chance they get.
  6. This nut should be in an asylum being forced to take schizophrenic medication, not sitting as a judge.
  7. so the embryos won't get health care, a decent education, or protection from being a victim of a mass shooting?
  8. I don't hang halfway out. I get completely out of the car, shut the door, and then lean against it.
  9. You mean he wasn't an alcoholic, wife-beating butcher who was the main architect behind the War of Northern Aggression?
  10. This documentary explains why Washington should absolutely be ranked #1:
  11. Its ok, the millionaires will be fine. We'll subsidize their insurance payouts. (Remember that scientists have been predicting this would happen since the 70s).
  12. Gonna have to appeal this all the way to the Supreme Court. This also. But only after the above has been ruled on. And then finally (lol "finally") appeal this.
  13. Should be worth about 6 months in the slammer for egregious bullshit.
  14. When to choose the "like" vs the "hook'em"? Is the "prepare your anus" a warning or a threat? Under what conditions can the "fuck you" not be considered an insult? Is such a thing even possible? "Drool"- Someone explain that one to me please. Is the "FAFO" under utilized? Or should it be reserved for truly special circumstances?
  15. you get not having to listen to the coffee babies crying about the broke Keurig.
  16. She ain't exactly pretty She ain't exactly small But at 42-39-56 You can say she's got it all Ain't no fairy story Ain't no skin and bones But she give it all she got Weighing in at 19 stones
  17. Yes all this. Eat a space cake on the train back to the airport.
  18. I've been to France twice: Once for a week in paris this past summer and a few days in Alsace Lorriane, and years ago bike touring through the basque region of France and Spain. I want to set the record straight. People in France are not mean. If you make even a half ass attempt to speak french, instead of just asking if they speak english, they will appreciate the effort and be just as nice as anyone else anywhere. So dust off that high school french and don't be afraid to use it. It'll make everything so much better. Also, if by high speed train you mean the TGV, I will pray for you. Over crowded cluster fuck of epic proportions. Get ready and when it pulls up to the station, get the fuck on. DOn't worry about which car is yours, just get on. It will leave on time, and if half your shit (or the olds in your party) aren't on board yet, tough shit. Then be prepared for the crush of bodies. But when I rode it was summer time so maybe not so bad during the non-summer months.
  19. they can't understand why he the man I'm singin' 'bout a king They don't like it When I decide to mic it Wait I'm waitin' for the date For the man who demands respect 'Cause he was great, c'mon I'm on the one mission To get a politician to honor or he's a gonner By the time I get to Arizona...
  20. It almost sounds like you don't want the rich to be able to anonymously buy candidates. Again, why do you hate freedom?
