shut up :p

Naa, spooker has a valid point.

shut up :p

ethanol is not a bad way to go (i think there is already ehtanol in most gas supplies, up to 10%?), its better than getting all our energy from politically volatile areas. But now we're handing out crazy subsidies to make ethanol from corn b/c its in teh US, hence the rise in milk price (i also noticed locally produced (IE expensive) brands emerging here, even in stop&shop), when we should just be encouraging it in brazil and get our shits from there. its a political problem not a technological one. *spooker shuts up

I stopped watching the news because... wtf am I going to do about any of it?

I agree. Let me give you an example, seeing that I can vent at the same time. One day (of many) I'm going home from work on the interstate and all of a sudden, traffic is practically at a stand still. I mean goes from 70+mph to 15mph in a matter of seconds.

I then say to myself, "wow, I wonder how bad the accident is?". Traveling for another 15 minutes @ 10-15mph listening to the radio hoping to get a little feedback on the situation.

A mile passed and I finally see the lights of the cop car in the distance. I notice interstate traffic on the opposite side of the interstate is as slow we are at the point of the "alleged" accident.

I finally get closer to the cop car looking ahead only to notice that two feet after the alleged accident, people scream back at the normal 70+mph. Same thing on the oppoisite side of the interstate.

Come to find out, the state trooper was only issuing a citation for speeding. That's all it was. So I'm so mad at all these boneheaded NOSEY people. I mean really, what are you going to do about it?!? It's not your ticket! It's none of your business!

I don't know about other states, but the people in Louisiana suck. Who cares what's going on, get out of my way so I can get home.

corn based ethanol is very inefficient, sugar cane-based is sooo much more efficient but we won't see much of that because sugar cane doesnt grow too well in the US, it'd mostly be coming from brazil

Inefficient... boy you can say that again. If I have my choice, I'll not put that crap in my car.

Brazil rocks when it comes to sugar cane overall. Now, Louisiana and Florida takes the market in the United Staes and is the largest producers of sugar cane.

Am I the only one who mo
re or less completely discontinued watching the news about a year ago because all the news any more is so depressingly bad?

Nope. Maybe that's why I missed out on the milk issue. My wife told me last night that it's up to $4.00 a gallon now. That's the cheap stuff too.

[foq]

Here comes Jow to say
HA! HA! WE HAVE MORE ETHANOL!! BRAZIL > US!!

[spooker]

the news is fun. its kinda like candy for your head.
i'm pretty sure the milk price thing is because farmers are using corn to make ethanol now rather than using it to feed cows. corn based ethanol is very inefficient, sugar cane-based is sooo much more efficient but we won't see much of that because sugar cane doesnt grow too well in the US, it'd mostly be coming from brazil

Milk is going up?!?

It is!

Amazing. Now we need to find out from Chuck if gas is going up to $6/gallon.

I featured that vid on Liveleak a few days ago because i thought it kicked ass. Sadly not a lot of viewers did. It's always hit or miss. You learn a lot though.

Milk is definitely going up, look in any grocery store around here, its becoming cheaper to buy organic now even.

I oughtta go to LiveLeak more often, but I am wary of doing such while I'm at work. Got any info on the Iran/Iraq thing?

[Grim]

I can tell my wife everything from the price of milk and why it's going up to the price of gas in Iran, and why they are rioting.

Milk is going up?!?

What's the price of gas there? 10 cents a gallon?

[Chuck]

Lol, it's kinda weird seeing videos on the web and tv today that I reviewed days ago. I featured that vid on Liveleak a few days ago because i thought it kicked ass. Sadly not a lot of viewers did. It's always hit or miss. You learn a lot though. I can tell my wife everything from the price of milk and why it's going up to the price of gas in Iran, and why they are rioting.

Watch the news for reports of Iran Crossing into southern Iraq soon.

photographers take pictures of lightning all the time, tesla coil's are just mini lightning generators

[Grim]

That was good. I wonder though... if you take a picture with a flash like they were, will you still see the electricity in the pic?
