"Whether you believe it is happening or not shouldn't it be a good idea to be cautious just in case?"
Just in case what? It's hard to be cautious of something that is completely ambiguous. It's foolish to pack for a trip when you don't know where you're going.
"Why do people want to wait until that last minute of a disaster to fix anything?"
Because if it ain't broke, don't fix it, that's why.
We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. And we still aren't sure there is a bridge, or how far away it might be, or if in fact it's a ladder actually.
it's been apparent for some time that the climate scientists dont know what the fuck they're talking about, and it largely doesn't matter what the theory of the day is as long as it can be used to further manipulate the people of the world.
It's about energy, it's about resources, and it's about perpetuating both an economy of scarcity and increasing energy prices. The road is paved for luxury/shame taxes on fuels of all kinds. Who wins? Governments and oil companies. Shocking.
We're ok with $3 gas because we remember $4 gas. The old trick of "raise prices and have a sale". There was no shortage, it was simply a conditioning phase. they couldn't take gas from $2 to $3 and let it stay there - people would be pissed. They had to break our spirits with $4+ gas so that we'd be *happy* to pay $3.
anyways, allie is one of my favorite humans and i'd love this video even if it were only half as good as it is. she could use a bit of practice doing live bits, mostly just working on diction and such. i can see how this vid wouldn't be as funny or endearing to those who haven't read her blog from start to finish.
to the haters: hey, where's your funny internet video? oh right, you don't have even one of them, or a blog that pays your bills. you're obviously qualified to rub stink on anything that doesn't meet your lofty standards.
"If the person were male I doubt people would be claiming "wow, a hottie"."
that^ statement is sexist. you're applying a generalization to a gender.
God I hope you really were being facetious.
calling someone a hottie isn't sexist in any way shape or form. it makes no reference to gender, 'hottie' being a gender neutral colloquialism. it is merely a subjective assessment of someones attractiveness which may come from members of either sex. so in labeling krikkit's comment sexist, you are revealing your sexist assumption about krikkit's gender.
vandalism is by definition malicious - with intent to deface or destroy property.
I resent the black and white stance people take on things like this. most "graffiti" is vandalism - some is not. banksey doesn't go around scribbling tags on overpasses, and I don't know if you all remember what New Orleans looked like in 2008, but you could hardly claim that anything he did in any way detracted from that desolate environment.
i mean seriously, lighten up people. hey think about this one: having a kid adds another carbon footprint. nobody with kids can legitimately claim to be greener than someone without kids. if you're all so concerned with saving the planet, maybe you should go out and kill some kids or something.
do you see why it's silly, then, to worry about 1,000lbs of extra weight on a vehicle that already weighs 24,000lbs?
while i do see the point, you'll muck up the aerodynamics and to some extent the handling - a rigid body is essential to good handling.
i've done something similar to the interior of my car - i ripped out the stereo and removed the steering column cover. it makes my car look as if it has already been stolen and/or robbed. an amp in the trunk provides the tunes, with a stereo headphone jack hidden away in the hole where the stereo used to be.
I think it's a huge testament to how far we've progressed that modern feminists have nothing of consequence to complain about and thus must make rock soup out of completely trivial issues.
In the many relationships I've been involved in and observed, the demands that women make have something akin to a half life. She wants you to eat more healthfully, maybe drink and smoke less, which don't seem unreasonable, so you comply. Next it's how often you're out and how late you're up, so you cut that back a little. Then it starts to creep into language, you know, just certain words she doesn't like, and that's no big deal. Moving on, we get to your tendency to forget to empty the dishwasher, and in what orientation the pillows should be inserted into the pillow cases, and before you know it the threshold at which you empty the litter box becomes a towering metaphor for how much you care about her and your relationship. As if you didn't just spend 2 years modifying every aspect of your behavior to her liking.
Jump on me for saying that, it's not just me. I see it in virtually every relationship. It's an extension of the idea that women get in trouble in relationships for what they do, while men get in trouble in relationships for what they *dont* do.
Well, modern feminism is just a larger manifestation of that mentality - 99% isn't enough, nor is 99.9%, nor is 99.99%. In having unattainable, arbitrary standards, their supposed victim-hood can be exploited for the purpose of manipulating others in perpetuity.
I don't think it's malicious, though; indeed, none of the women I've talked to about this were aware of it until I pointed it out.
And I don't claim to be right. This is merely what I've observed and surmised from my anecdotal observations. But one cannot dispute the ever so increasingly specific nit picking feminists seem to thrive on. Can't have an army without an enemy, you know.
Combining superglue and a chamois cloth produces a violent exothermic reaction. It may only be synthetic chamois - I'm not sure. All I know is that I've never seen this mentioned on the entire internet, and yet it happened to me in the third grade. The cloth immediately contracted around my thumb and began smoking and burning uncontrollably. It produced second degree burns, and water did not extinguish it.
"Randi is correct. I tend to have two separate areas, one for medical stuff and the other for mechanical stuff since, you know, they don't naturally go together."
Superglue IS a medical item. While I agree that keeping it anywhere it might be mistaken for something else is foolish (and who wouldn't notice the smell??) but lots of people do keep a tube of it for quick laceration repair.

allie is younger of course but the resemblance is pretty amazing. even the awkward 'captain obvious' over-clarification is there.

chill. it's not going to make an ounce of difference in the long run.
the bus would burn just as much fuel if it had 5 or 6 more people on it (1,000lbs)

how did this make it to completion without anyone noticing it?

Could be handy in a survival situation.
