It was pretty cold here the one weekend I was in a cabin without central heating in the woods..Originally Posted by Khendraja'aro
Even then only below zero at night though. Luckily, I volunteered for a sofa, not a bed, being gentleman and all, and later found out this was also in the warmest room, and I was probably the only one who was too warm and not too cold at night
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Yeah, "global" is the key word in climate science. "Seasonal" weather reports don't mean much when viewed outside the larger context. Especially when the US is only about 2% of the entire earth surface....but US politicians are making global policy from their kitchen window. WTF.There is of course that little word 'global'
I'm fairly certain that schools try to teach people what to think ALL day long. (Violence is bad, racism is bad, be nice to others, don't cheat) ect. Are you suggesting that schools stop teaching these? Because that's an interesting discussion.
That's also teaching "how" to think. Not just that certain behavior is "bad", but why.
Lewk, those are complex issues which lead to good discussions on why such could be bad. Thus teaching how to think.
Bit this can lead to interesting differences in opinion. School says: Violence is bad. Parent teaches: violence is not good, but not always bad...depending upon the circumstances.

Hard to believe this guy was the Governor who signed legislation mandating comprehensive reproductive healthcare/birth control in Arkansas. Even harder to believe he was a leading Presidential candidate not too long ago. How can this Bible-thumping-preacher-turned politician continue to be an 'important figure' within the GOP?
WTF?

You should see the article on the Daily Beast. It had a lot more of the complaint.

People say things on the internet they'd never say in person. That anonymity of "free speech" gets pretty ugly, so WTF leads anyone to believe we're a post-racial society?
One of the few that graduated above me in high school got popped for hitting an underage teen up for sex online.
"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 not even that anonymous. A bunch of them have Twitter accounts that use their real names. Curious if the university will go after them (in my view, they should).People say things on the internet they'd never say in person.

WTF. Why should the university do that? They're not arbiters (or censors) of the internet, social media, or the Twitterverse.
Um, you think making racist comments directed at university officials doesn't violate a student's code of conduct?
Hope is the denial of reality
That depends on how "Student Codes of Conduct" are written, and what influence that has over the student body. Personally, I don't have a problem with students calling teachers or administrators nasty (or even racist) names. I'm bothered more by their need, or impulse, to do so.Um, you think making racist comments directed at university officials doesn't violate a student's code of conduct?
I swear you just argue for the sake of arguing. If I made the opposite point, you'd still be disagreeing with me.

A brutal fight between a former Marine and his stepfather in Oklahoma ended in the stepfather’s death by “atomic wedgie,” also known as death by underwear.
Denver St. Clair had been arguing with his stepson, Brad Davis, 33, last month when the two began to fight. Davis told police that St. Clair had spoken “ill of Davis’ mother,” and then threw the first punch. The men had been drinking, investigators told ABC affiliate KNXV.
Davis said he fought back and then gave his father an “atomic wedgie” in which he stretched the elastic waistband of St. Clair’s underwear up over his head. The move is most often used as a prank among children and teenagers.
The waistband strangled St. Clair, who stopped breathing, according to KNXV. Davis called 911, but St. Clair was dead by the time officers arrived, reported KNXV.
According to the affidavit obtained by the affiliate station, police said the underwear left a ligature mark around St. Clair’s neck and noted that there was blood around the kitchen and living room.
Davis was booked into the Pottawatomie County Jail where a judge ordered him held without bond for first-degree murder. “We continued our investigation and uncovered evidence that led us to believe that this was more than just a fight,” Sheriff Mike Booth told KNXV.
Davis’ mother, Tressi St. Clair, who was married to Denver St. Clair, could not be reached for comment today.
still took a pt test ;-(
I'm not sure any Olympics should exceed $50 billion dollars. That's a shit load of money. Particularly for Winter Games, that are supposed to be 'cheaper' than Summer Games.
I'm not even sure that national athletics can continue to act as international "Good Will" sports initiatives. The entire endeavor has changed over the years.....and become more like Reality TV covering Extreme Sports...and Opening Ceremonies as semi-professional entertainment.
While I love watching elite athletes perform during the Olympic Games, that doesn't mean the Olympic Games has an automatic monopoly over any sport, or its viewing audience. X athletes (snow boarders, free-style skiers, etc.) were awesome athletes long before the IOC recognized them.
The Olympic Games might be entering their own WTF phase.
Eh, that money was going to line someone's pocket anyway.
Hope is the denial of reality
So does WWW. What's your point?
The only WTF moments I had during the Opening Ceremonies were about the women leading nations into the venue, the guides on the sidelines...and their incongruous costumes. It was like 21st century haute couture with 1950's dancing marshmallows.

They actually had a seasonal schedule?

And watered heaven with their tears:

Did he who made the lamb make thee?
