I'm not trying to hassle you; but you are clearly jealous and somewhat mad. And why not. You're getting your chops busted over a 3G and they're handed a 4s - and writing off a car generally has severe consequences, but hey heres a new one! Being in that environment would easily lead one to be both jealous and frustrated…
Well its a big topic and there is no secret magical plan that suits all circumstances. I for one am not adverse to risk and I have some high growth (read: high risk) strategies - other people might have the balanced 25% wealth gameplan. I offered some advice for beginners But because the average age of this board is at…
It doesnt matter what the sample size is; if the prevalence remains the same then there wouldnt be 'extra' autistic people, just the same amount per capita as always. Its probably the same as the ADD explosion; an increase in diagnosis - but i cant be bothered to research autism.
Natural extension of things that have been happening for years. You never heard of contact lenses? They're a big thing. The biggest thing though is whitening cream - all over asian countries they go through this shit like coca cola. To be white carries with it many positive connotations; wealth, intelligence, success and…
Jellymad much? Its interesting you go from claiming no morals directly into justifying that she doesnt deserve the phone because she didnt earn it. You havent earnt it either. If your parents bought you a nice gift (like a laptop) because you were still studying or whatever and you had your back turned on it for 5 minutes…
Yeah I've heard that. But theres many many things that we are doing these days that havent been done before. And its everything. Food, Medicine, Chemicals, technology - all the boxes are ticked. Correlation does not imply causality; I dont know if the true rates of autism are actually higher or if its just more prominently…
Why do I need a bomb shelter with a cache of AR-15's with armour piercing bullets and grenades? I pay the government to build submarines and shit so that in the unlikely event that someone with these things wants to hassle people like me we can stop them on the way over. And my government makes some terrible choices but…
I would of been too distracted by walking around staring at my iphone with headphones in. You'd never get away with it either, the phone is there because shes checking it every three minutes and I bet she feels naked without it there. And you can always clean the phone and use it again yourself - but knowing how important…
Im about to do that thing where I ask several rhetorical questions in a row: Are you implying dfg and yourself are not in the community? The site is not community run? What the hell kind of statement is that? This site is not a whole lot of community generated content, shared amongst the same user base, comment on by the…
Worst conspiracy forum ever. If people wanted to have 'citation needed' arguments they'd to to wikipedia - thanks for killing what could of been a good thread. And marijuana should be illegal.
Thats the attitude. You dont get aesthetic without being fit - unless your on roids or something. I am doing it for personal reasons, for my satisfaction, for my pleasure. It is a highly vain and hedonistic thing to indulge in - but it happens to have positive lifestyle benefits. What a deal!
Its essentially the same show; they change the name to reflect that they were going to look at worldwide trends, events and media rather than domestic. Great cast, its a comedian and two rival ad agency exec's with some special guests.
I was already mad. ALMOST LIKE ITS BEING COVERED UP, LIKE A CONSPIRACY. BECAUSE THEY MADE A BOO BOO. If evidence of an event is publicly available and reliably documented it isnt a conspiracy. The Fukushima thing is a legit cover up, real mel gibson running around with that same freelance journalist sort of stuff.
When i say the strong dominate the weak i dont mean explicitly 'BIG MAN HIT LITTLE MAN TAKE FOOD' I mean the better man wins. The farmer who diversified his crops so a sudden storm wouldn't leave him starving. The fisherman who decided that it was worth giving his fish to another to make a net so he could gather more.…
I dont think Dr rocker is being incredibly unreasonable. We are consuming the earths resources at an unsustainable rate. We are diverting income and resources from the most productive parts to the least productive - offering a false signal for reproduction. Ever seen the movie Idiocracy? When theres this many people on…
So should i start doing harvard referencing and PM'ing my citations or would footnotes work better for the VB format? Throw "stuxnet"+"fukushima" into google and BAM you can find articles from reputable sources such as the Berkley department of nuclear engineering and videos, infographics and more - www.lmgtfy.com SHOULD…
If you believe money is evil then you're going to have a hard time getting much of it. It is an instrument like any other and it can be used to help or hurt yourself and others.
The Irish whiskeys are smoother because unlike scotch (where they burn the peat or other smokey fuel) the irish use clean burning fuel, it leaves a smoother less harsh flavour. You can argue that after aging in a barrel the scotch will develop a more intricate flavour and become smoother over time - this is definately true…
There are broad similarities amongst most humans. Social trends and the prevailing attitudes that are born of them are not mysterious in nature; they can be decoded and have been. Generally to be exploited by marketers. Its like cold reading, make a statement 90% of people will agree with but ACT like its focused at a…
You might be interested in watching this show that decodes the very carefully fine tuned attitudes behind all this and how it fits in with their broader marketing plans. How deep marketers are into your mind and habits will astound you.
You were pretty nonchalant about some of your deets in the 'which person are you' thread - Im definately a part of the system but i try to keep tabs on my privacy where i can.
The reactor was built in a site that was close to the ocean in a seismically active area - it wasnt the tsunami or earthquake that caused the nuclear event. There were many safeguards built in for safe emergency shutdown (should a situation arise) HOWEVER the seimens units did not function as designed and the problem…
Yes. At a forensic training compound. Thats a terrible idea if you think about it. Seriously - i know theres other bodies there; but they're numbered, catalouged and accounted for.
Why does everyone care so much about fake eyelashes? Seriously? SIGN OF THE TIMES MEN ARENT MEN ANYMORE. They arent going to sell many of these things at all and you will never hear of them again.
I am entirely indifferent to the concept of an arcade. Forums are for foruming. If you want to fight me in tetris scores YOU AINT GOTTA WAIT FOR NO ARCADE.
Theres a variety of reactions you could use to either catch the LD50's or the alkoloids - i cant recall but theres something i vaugely remember. Like warming the solution up and mixing it with some lipids for several hours/a day and then stratifying it with an ice bath or centrifuge. It cannot be done with methanol alone…
Then breed mice and test it that way. Keep a control and disect to look at the livers/organs of the two mice. Note the differences and know what the implication is. I'm all for backyard science and it was from home tinkering that industrial chemistry was born; but removing the alkoloids with methanol isnt really doable. I…
On topic: I just read the paper's discussion again in a bit more detail and you need to be careful about the other toxic organic compounds. I'm not an American so I had no idea what the plant species was. Do not ingest this substance. I cannot stress this enough. You are risking death. Phytolaccine and Phytolaccotoxin are…
They rehash the methods; but before something can be approved for human testing theres many many loopholes to go through. In the old days; you'd just man up and do it - consequences be dammed. But for the product to have a wide application we need to know that it doesnt cause kidney failure after 2 weeks or something…
Then you are adopting a chicken/egg fallacy. Its a really hard thing to say where it started from; and some sources are telling me that the cause of the disease is naturally present in the body; but somehow digesting large amounts of it causes some sort of a reaction that leads to the spongiying?
Alcohol is used because it is a powerful solvent and happens to be readily available. Methanol has a very high alcohol content and you can evapourate it off at very low temperatures. I am confident that there will be residues of the methanol left; but if your putting drugs in ya body why would you care.
I deliberately left out the month and year because i think doxxing people is a scandalous and terrible thing to do. But meanwhile EVERYONE who has posted their 'what number person' figure in this thread has dropped their d.o.b unless then put in a fake or generic. I might get accused of causing drama but I figure thats…
Well fuck dude. Does the 15th of a month starting with "M" mean anything to you? This isnt complicated code and looking at it on your own isnt anything; but I believe that you have all just dropped some day/month/year data here.
Big bucks come from mass appeal. He dont have mass appeal. He wont be allowed on television and you can only sell so many DVD's when all your material is up on youtube. He'll be able to do alright for himself - and in the industry being able to make a living out of the game is an achievement in itself but all his money is…
They say that formal training these days is for people who want to look like they're learning; and google is for people who actually want to learn. Its pretty clear in the employment marketplace that having skills is far more important than having a degree. Especially in some of the horse shit degrees people are studying…
So why are you not writing letters about your concern for safety; mental distress and PTSD? You could be getting special consideration in subjects and upgraded or free accomodation. DONT BE A CHUMP.
Jim is a bauce. I saw him at the sydney comedy store when he was opening for someone more mainstream. The guy is great but he aint ever going to make much money out of his game.
When i made the thread i made it in that area but to make threads there I think you need to tag it with Edu, Law or Religon. Very confusing because I think i made it in the right place.
