why don't you post a picture of your dick next to a ruler and get it over with?
-
If he did, he wouldn't ask for his daily ass kicking, but perhaps he does love being kicked in the ass. Love takes many different forms, I guess.

If only kkk worked half the hours of many public servants I know ...

Here comes the post-modern relativism shtick applied to climbing and its culture: "We are so beyond ethics"
-
The good thing with kkk is you can't shame him for being a dumb ass. He'll relish plunging headlong into the role.
-
is your dick longer than any of ours? You might as well cut to the chase.

"A 21-year-old Oregon woman who crawled inside a horse carcass and had her picture taken—all so she could "feel one with a horse"—will not face any criminal charges, say investigators. Now she can use the photos to design her holiday cards." http://gawker.com/5855151/woman-wont-be-charged-for-posing-nude-inside-horse-carcass

I did not know the dumb ass scale included negative indices. Thanks for the update.

Democrats have been trying to commit political suicide by offering to cut Medicare benefits but Republicans won't let them. They are so cute.

Climate influence on rockfalls in high-Alpine steep rockwalls: The north side of the Aiguilles de Chamonix (Mont Blanc massif) since the end of the ‘Little Ice Age’ Ludovic Ravanel Université de Savoie, France, Ludovic.Ravanel@univ-savoie.fr Philip Deline Université de Savoie, France Abstract Rockfalls fundamentally affect the morphodynamics of high mountain rockwalls, and represent a great danger for both people and infrastructures, but still are poorly known. By comparing old, recent and new photographs, in addition to geomorphological field data, we propose an inventory of the rockfalls that occurred since the end of the ‘Little Ice Age’ on the north side of the Aiguilles de Chamonix (Mont Blanc massif), ranging in volume from 500 to 65 000 m 3. These 42 rockfalls occurred after 1947, of which > 70% during the last two decades, with a maximal frequency during the warm summers, especially in 2003. Average elevation of scars (3130 m a.s.l.) close to the lower modelled permafrost limit, and the topography (e.g. spurs) of the affected rock faces enhancing lateral heat fluxes, suggest that a climatically driven permafrost degradation has triggered many of the recent rockfalls in high-Alpine steep rockwalls. http://hol.sagepub.com/content/21/2/357.abstract

Land based wind is also quite competitive even before accounting for the difference in external cost (so are hydro, geothermal, biomass, etc)

The EROI of coal is 80:1 (80 energy units recovered for 1 invested). The EROI of fracked gas is unclear since no study has been done (surprise) but here is what Cleveland says for shale oil that uses similar methods of extraction: "Cleveland is unaware of any study yet done to determine the EROI for shale gas.47 But he has reviewed the literature on shale oil, which like shale gas requires lots of energy and water to produce. “The most reliable studies suggest that the EROI for oil shale falls between 1:1 and 2:1 when self-energy is counted as a cost,” Cleveland and Boston University colleague Peter O’Connor reported in June 2010.48" The Huffpo article posted by prole answered your other points. It's not surprising that you are confused considering that you appear to confound speaking and farting. edit: also note that an EROI of 80 for coal is an average of all methods, and that strip mining is less energy intensive than underground mining.
-
I wouldn't be so sure. Natural gas combustion produces 2/3 the CO2 of coal, and has many fewer other pollutants as well, but fracking uses a lot of energy (often coal generated electricity) to put fluids under pressure and pump it into rock formations so the energy return isn't very good. Fracking also requires lots of water and causes much pollution both at the surface and in ground water.

He won't give you an answer because he wouldn't be able to run away from his record later on.
-
Only because your math sucks. Externalizing costs doesn't mean someone doesn't pay for them.
-
Man, do you really have to post that gratuitously violent shit? Is it making you hard? Sheesh.
-
Odd logic. Do you also not have much sympathy for climbers who get hurt because they knew beforehand getting hurt was a possibility? what about soldiers? etc
-
Geez! Bastiat's broken window biting free market fundamentalists in the ass. What a surprise (not).
-
"some support" LOLZ OWS has more support from Americans than any presidential contender (including Obama), despite the smears you morons and the corporate media are peddling on the airwaves.

As if anything that happened that night justified shooting someone in the head with a gas canister from 10-15' away (then, purposefully gassing those trying to get him out of there). That's seriously fucked up.

Drool! Way to go at it guys, great job.
