Comment on Fuel by jenn

Forcing a rule through like that with no planning on the back end is likely to lead to trouble. Sure, the Powerpoint makes it look so easy, and look, there’s an aerial view of uncultivated farmland just going to waste! I wish I had time to dig through that one stats slide, I am sure there are some holes in there.

Regardless of what the slides say, corn costs have gone up with our dedication to producing ethanol from corn. This is impacting people that depend on corn as a food. You think you can just mandate flex fuel and the market will just “work itself out”? There’s also this story (there’s a link to the report in there) about how the demand for biofuel is fueling (ha ha) a desire to farm all kinds of ethanol-bearing plants, many of them, unfortunately, invasive species.

And what about jets, trucks, trains shipping products across the country? This site seems to indicate jet + train+ bus + trucks = a signficant portion of our fuel consumption. When cost of transporting goods go up, the prices we pay go up. I don’t see how Zubrin is going to fix that part of the problem. I don’t see at all how we can fix this by consuming *more*!

Also, why ethanol/methanol? Why not solar? Or electric?

Yeah. If they remade it, the Hollycommies would have the Wolverines empathizing with the Russians and Cubans invading their land, and seeking common ground with which to create a consensus opinion on how they should rule our nation.

Comment on kinshay: While Moonlight still kinda sucks, I did love the Leeroy Jenkins reference on the season finale. by Da Kine

So true about Leeeroy Jenkins.

Courtney actually likes Moonlight way better than New Amsterdam, which resulted in me calling her a “shipper”.

Heh, I hate that the Title and and post are the exact same. I can’t change the title, so I will ditch the post completely. It does look funny.

Suntory, You’re The Divil…

A while back I read an article about Japanese single malt whiskey being the shit these days, so when I stumbled upon a bottle of Suntory Yamazaki 12 year-old single malt whiskey in a liquor store recently, I went ahead and plunked down the requested $3…

Hello,DVRs are now used for other purposes besides personal recording. Interestingly enough, they’ve been employed as a security measure. DVRs have been used for police surveillance. They’re also used to record signals from closed circuit TV cameras.

Just watched last week’s ep…I feel drained. The show is awesome but there aren’t enough Robot Chickens in the world to watch to get yourself out of the funk afterwards…

I know. It’s sooo pissah. Every time you think you can make a good guess at what will happen next, they speedbag you in the satchel and leave you wanting more. TV, that, is. Not speedbagging.

Comment on Songs I Disagree With by joedayuz

joedayuz — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 13:27:23 +0000

For me, whether or not I enjoy a song I disagree with is subjective depending on the delivery. I love a lot of old protest songs because of the creativity. The writers don’t necessarily spell everything out so there’s a puzzle to figure out. Mix that with an impassioned delivery and I’m not going to shoot the messenger. I’m just going to drive a little faster and tap my foot.

i gave you jarvis.

i completely disagree with everything that “rage against the machine” has to say, but i love ‘em. there is that part of me that says you’ve become part of the machine. practice what you preach, etc.

frankly, i’m can rationalize the hypocrisy whilst rocking out.

i’m almost the same with post “vs.” pearl jam. although their music has been in decline for a while.

Here’s another con for Comcast in general.

I went with the “lay out the cake” option with no regrets as of yet.
I really dig on real-TiVo-only features like Amazon Unbox.

Minka thinks she is being followed by helicopters, because everywhere she goes, she hears ‘fap, fap, fap’. Hayoo!
