Looking for Scrooge but a week early perhaps....

they got the security council seat cause they have nukes - remember mururoa?

"licensed, bonded" - who issues the license? The union?

maybe you could make it more like guiding in the USA where anyone can call themselves a guide without certification "Hi my name's Scot'teryx and for $200 I will take you top-roping!" Is there any body for professional regulation of the electricians other than the electrician's union?

Grab your PNW waterfall ice ascents while you can!

well, forecast high of +5 tomorrow but it has been consistently colder than forecast most of the week with temps last night dipping to -3C

Here's my Non-PC new ride. anybody need a lift to Shuksan?

looks more like a Nazgul to me!

robbob are you REALLY saying that if global demand for fishmeal drops by 50% there won't be a supply side reduction 9less fish-for fishmeal fishing) to keep prices high? where is your basic economics textbook?

I think we should be developing pressurized tanks for farming anglerfish, orange roughy and giant squid! Oh wait, giant squid is nonedible due to ammonia content

In the "People's Almanac" from the 1970's they had a list of weird food, the one I remember the most strongly was some Kansas housewife's recipie for cake with toothpaste for icing! "Hey this cake is good for yout teeth! Minty fresh!"

1) salmon are carnivorous. what other carnivores do we successfully farm? 2) environmentally sound fish farming takes place: on land, with closed pens, and sewage treatment of waste, and fish that can eat vegetarian diets (eg. tilapia or catfish)

that's some shitty reverse engineering skillz, that Roswell crash happened more than 50 years ago!

yeah visit a farm in BC.... check out the huge pile of antibiotic-laced salmon shit under the farm and corresponding dead zone in the water the sea-lice infested wild smolts the dead sea lions with bullets in the head washing up on local beaches (hey, if a predator attacks your herd you kill it right, just like wolves and ranching) what you won't see is the factory fishing fleet driftnetting in the south pacific and grinding up "unpalatable" species to make fishmeal to feed the salmon: 10 tons of other fish species makes less than 1 ton of farmed salmon, an even worse energy efficiency than a diesel 2-stroke!

How can you say the quality sux for farmed shrimp but not farmed salmon? The oven mitts are my favorite part of this picture.

dan my point is that a runaway greenhouse effect (venus) is not incompatible with a dark surface recieving no visible light. Venus is hot because its atmosphere is hot, not because the sun heats the surface. So earth can be dimming and warming at the same time. As a matter of fact the example of Venus suggests the two effects may even be linked.

3 letters and rhymes with bat

shouldnt this be "muffy's BLOG"

yeah and if you spell rappel the proper way you never have that problem

denying it is even more

so you're saying you never "gave up" your cherry cause you never had one?

this is kinda tangential but did you notice on the main index page the title of this thread shows up as "Re: Double Rope Simul-Rape..."
