  1. I would not use dyneema, since I have read much suggesting knotting dyneema is a bad idea due to it's low friction (the knots can work loose) and other reasons. What is the "device" you are considering using cord for? The type of device and it's intended use are important -- nylon cord may go around corners, but that doesn't mean it won't be cut when loaded around a sharp corner. Also, depending on your application, do you need the absolutely strongest cord?
  2. And yet you keep comin back.
  3. I've lived in the PNW most of my life and I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone complain about the weather so much. Why don't you just move?
  4. Hard to catch a fly ball or foul tip at the plate with your eyes closed I caught in little league for years before eventually switching to 3rd and I don't remember ever closing my eyes, but perhaps you're right, maybe it's just an involuntary blink that happens to get caught on camera. But, as you point out, the batter's eyes aren't closed. Man, I sure learned to hate aluminum bats playing infield, though, that's for sure. Spicy!
  5. I totally knew this was a joke. I was just playing along.
  6. Every time you post pics of your kid batting, the catcher always has his eyes closed. ???
  7. having trouble getting off again, bob? try squeezing your balls harder
  8. I'm creating a recurring calendar appointment for April 1.
  9. I would never post on Facebook that I had just gone skiing on a sick day, since many of those people are co-workers and the risk of my employer finding out what I'm really doing with my sick days would be too great -- just one slip up with my privacy settings and suddenly my boss is getting my status updates. It sounds like cc.com is essentially bypassing all of my facebook privacy settings by making everything I say here public -- which means no more spraying about work, no more TRs posted when I called in sick, etc. I would never, ever make my facebook posts public, why would I want my "I just called in sick and had a sick day of pow" to be public to the world? You might as well list my employer underneath my name, as well.
  10. If I verify my account, will that verification be public (i.e. will the verification be between me and cc.com, or can anyone click through from my cc.com profile to my facebook profile?) The latter would be a deal-breaker for me, since it would make it harder to hide illicit sick-day skiing from my employer.

    I know a conservative who thinks we should make homelessness illegal, "like Switzerland did."

    Shot or Jail?

    thats what i like and want to believe, but... the reality is is that they will become a protected class within the prison system by means of isolation from the general population, those that would deliver the ass rapin. having watched a couple of episodes of Locked Up Abroad, my opinion about the uselessness of the US incarceration system only builds. altruistic approach to their punishments, err rehabilitation, FAILS. its best to just spend the 38-cents. It sounds like you're suggesting anyone against torturing prisoners (deliberately exposing them to rape, for example) is just some altruistic ninny. Truly, you are a philosopher.
