I'm probably going to be there for a week in late November/early December; if you're there then, there's a chance you might actually get to meet the wiggin. It's a (dubious) honor I don't think anyone here has yet to achieve.Originally Posted by Wraith
The Seattle police department has been having fun with Washington's new pot laws since smoking dope was legalized last year, but the department's latest move, dubbed "Operation Orange Fingers," may be its best yet.
The department announced this week that come Saturday, officers would flood the annual HempFest, which celebrates marijuana culture, and issue bags of Doritos to civilians who may be suffering from the munchies.
"Oh, there must have been a miscommunication somewhere. We're not sending you in October and December, we're sending you in October until December."
I think I'll have to talk about this in the other thread from now on.
Wiggin, you're buying me a drink when if we overlap.
How will you black friday shop?!

Wow! Now that's a long trip. Lots of stuff to do, though, so enjoy!
Today is my last day working in the downtown library

Two hours from the last show of my band! Gonna be a good party
My hard drive didn't lose all of its data!
Now, to figure out what is wrong that causes the BSOD during boot up and why I can't even boot up from my PE or Win 7 repair disc.
Edit: Had to rebuild the boot record, but I'm back on the Win7 machine. Still no idea what caused it though. Oh well, at least it works.

How to explain Lewk with a single study:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...moral-behavior
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
So in other words scientists release a study indicating just thinking about science makes people more moral?
In other news Christians release statement saying that Christian's are right.
And still more news Muslims release statement that Muslims live more holy lives.
That about sum it up?
The difference being that only one of the three will provide you with a way to replicate the results.

I think you summed it up perfectly. Thats the great thing about science, its true no matter what your opinion is.[...]a study indicating just thinking about science makes people more moral
[...]statement saying that Christian's are right.
[...]statement that Muslims live more holy lives.

"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
It's equally likely to be true. Science isn't religion. It doesn't claim to have obtained the final truth.
Hope is the denial of reality
Over time it narrows the gap toward the final truth ...
If we take the final truth to be absolute knowledge of the workings of the natural universe in its entirety.
Sure, but at any given moment, it's quite likely that what we know is wrong in some (frequently important) way. But it's better to admit that and constantly try to get better than to pretend to know the final truth and discourage people from trying to find otherwise.

Cellphone robbery suspect tripped up by his sagging jeans
A Brooklyn cellphone crook’s poor wardrobe choices led to his arrest when his saggy jeans tripped him up during his getaway attempt and allowed cops to chase him down, police said.
Joel Donaldson, 21, allegedly punched his victim in the face before snatching her phone at around 2:30 p.m. at Court and Remsen streets, just steps from Borough Hall. He then tried to get away on foot, but didn’t get far.
His droopy blue jeans — which left his boxer shorts exposed — kept slipping down as he ran.
A cop who was directing traffic nearby spotted the bungling bad guy’s sorry sartorial situation and hurried after him.
Donaldson made it only about a block before his pants were completely around his ankles, allowing the officer to tackle him near Joralemon Street.
“He was zigzagging all over the place, but he couldn’t run because his pants was falling down,” witness Arlene Williams said.
“This cop saw it, and he went right after him.’’
Donaldson was arrested two blocks from Brooklyn Criminal Court and charged with robbery, cops said.
If this experiment was even worth repeating. Folks can put all sorts of biases into the test themselves, the sample population, ect ect. This is pop science at best - not worth deconstructing. Its like taking the time to demolish a "9/11 was an inside job" idiot. Sure you can prove your point but have you really got anywhere?
Wow it's like you didn't read the article or the paper
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
He is modernizing the godwin. If you can't construct a criticism, tie it to 9/11.

San Francisco was cool, but Alcatraz was awesome.
Yosemite on the other hand, breathtaking. Truly epic!
Moldy food, broken and mislabeled elevators, and cold hot tubs couldn't stop my from enjoying my carnival cruise. Insane how different being a tax haven can make a country, comparing the Cayman islands and their 500 banks to places like belize and hondorous

My kids' grandpa is going to be part of a WWII Veteran honorarium. Some 80 men, all in their 80's, are flying from around the country to Washington DC, each with a dedicated 'escort'. They're going to get a VIP tour of the War memorials and monuments, Arlington cemetery (and possibly the Capitol building and White House).
He has Alzheimer's disease, and many of the men are frail and debilitated in some way.....so everyone is hoping it goes well.
Hopefully they won't try to stage a coup.

I was given a corporate credit card with no limit. Who wants a pony?
Well, i could use some money, see the messing with groove thread, so bring it on!

We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.

Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Made tomato soup from scratch today, very pleased with the result. Didn't use a recipe, just my own ideas about how a tomato soup should be and taste.
Congratulations America
