  1. I recognize your "STS Engineer" badge, but I have serious doubts of your legitimacy. And I like the compositions of Beethoven as much as I'd like the composition of a sandwich made of ingredients from a landfill. Overall, I would rate this seven out of ten, the same rating I would give to a New York strip cooked medium-rare instead of my usual medium-well. It is flanked by bacon, my rating being a six out of ten (or 5.5 if rounding is not applied), and a well-cooked spaghetti dish with just the right marinara sauce being an eight out of ten.
  2. Hydrazine is cool. (And when exposed to flame, really, really hot.)
  3. Those aren't struts. They're steel rods and wires. Struts are made out of rebar jacketed with a titanium-unobtainium alloy.
  4. Pennsylvania's the best state (IMO)*. You have the symbol of the best state in your sig. I like that. *-But Arizona's a close second.
  5. Red: Yeah, and the part of the population that doesn't live in comfort (E.G. Africa) would do a lot better if they're given more food or more money. Blue: Agreed, back then in the "productive" wars we didn't have nuclear weapons, and so had to develop new technologies to basically kill each-other with. And we only had them at the tail-end of one of the "productive" ones, and that effectively ended the war (or a large part of it). With nuclear weapons, It's essentially an eggs-in-one-basket, do or do not kind of deal. I've heard that butchers in Eastern Europe are told to pass a Geiger counter over any wild hog meat they come across because they may eat radiated mushrooms. What they do with the meat that's radiated I don't know.
  6. Also, the fax machine might be on a separate phone line. Double the facepalm if true.
  7. I know somebody who read a couple of the books. Read a few pages myself and came to the conclusion that it wasn't my kind of book. If you're wondering what are my kinds of books, right now I'm reading Dickens' Hard Times and Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra.
  8. Yes, brother! Take up thy hammers! We begin at nightfall! We shall be in Botany Bay by January!
  9. I know it's a joke, but I'm really afraid of the person who thinks this. Imagine that, a person who'd be willing to kill for technology. He'd be a frightening person. As for my position on tech these days, I'm not against technology, but I'm starting to turn into sort of a luddite. I think it's progressing too quickly. And some of it's being used for materialistic, marketing, and consumeristic purposes, and I am against all three. Other uses like tracking people and whatnot I think are ethically wrong. - - - Updated - - - Get ready to hide under one of those school desks with the special radiation-proof wood! Haha! /joke
  10. I've dreamt a lot of things, but a bouncy lift turning upside-down!? I'm glad I've never dreamt of such a thing, with how vivid I used to dream it'd be terrifying. Nowadays, I mostly have peaceful dreams, and it's a nice, comfortable transition into waking; it feels a lot better and I can think incredibly clearly when I wake up. Vivid ones I NEED to sleep after I wake up because I'm so drained from them.
  11. Or you got visited by Edgar Allen Poe: Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? -Edgar Allen Poe, A Dream Within a Dream, 1849
  12. Lifting!? My good sir, my data is staying right where it is thank you. And if I were using windows 10, it would drop, if anything, right into the lap of Microsoft. There shall be no lifting or dropping of data in this household, plus I think OSHA won't allow it. Don't quote me on it, though.
  13. What a rebel you must be. Absolutely Quixotic.
  14. Close race between these 4
  15. Airlines make their money by ticket sales. If people see stories like this in the news, then they'll be less inclined to buy tickets and drive or even sail to where they want to go. Less ticket sales mean less money. Less money means that airlines suffer. They may even buy less airplanes, leading to the manufacturers suffering. Safety's just one aspect of any industry. You also have money, the law, public opinion, and many, many other aspects to deal with.
  16. Think abut this: Civilization, or a very crucial and large part of it, was very nearly destroyed during the 1st and 2nd world wars. 3rd time's the charm is used whenever you've failed twice at something and are attempting it the third time.
  17. All I have to say is this: Third time's the charm.
  18. I've got a few names for ya: Pernicious Deleterious Marauding Colossus Perspicacious Ship with a Self-Explanatory Name Arson Welles Law Office of Lead, G. U. N. Powder, and Canonn Brown Pants Armourless
  19. I've known about this for a couple years. I like to run Wikipedia articles through it. http://gizoogle.net/tranzizzle.php?search=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FBarack_Obama&se=Go+Git+Dis+Shiznit http://gizoogle.net/tranzizzle.php?search=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FKerbal_Space_Program&se=Go+Git+Dis+Shiznit http://gizoogle.net/tranzizzle.php?search=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FNeil_Armstrong&se=Go+Git+Dis+Shiznit http://gizoogle.net/tranzizzle.php?search=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUnited_States&se=Go+Git+Dis+Shiznit http://gizoogle.net/tranzizzle.php?search=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FNASA&se=Go+Git+Dis+Shiznit Obviously, language warning.
  20. I agree, just because the axe was invented millennia ago why shouldn't a firefighter get recognition for using one?
  21. He does have an account, and his forum username is illectro http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/members/763-illectro Thank you for using Flyme Concierge.
  22. I know very well the risks of each storage method, but I am willing to accept those risks and have planned accordingly. I also don't have a lot of money to throw towards a new hard drive or external hard drive, even a 50-100 GB one, let alone a bulletproof backup system. All I have in the means of external storage are a stack of CD-R's and a few old flash drives that I've had for well over 5 years that were bought for very little and that have served me very much. I am a man of small and limited means and I use whatever will work, two examples being using epoxy, superglue, and electric tape to repair my headphones which had broke in half and the wire of my headphones being held in a specific position with superglue because the wire broke internally and would only sound when bent in a certain position. If there are risks, I plan for them, and so far my planning has worked very well for me. Ultimately, all I have to say is this: mind your own business.
  23. Don't worry about it. I have them backed up on multiple FD's with high-importance ones backed up online and I'm in the process of typing them out on paper with a typewriter. I also have a stack of CD-R's that I'll use once I have 700 MB's worth of writing.
