It did a pretty good job of vaporizing a 12" dia pipe. About 110,000 psi worth. Do NOT fuck with steam unless you know what yer doin.

I just tested and analyzed a bank of five heat exchangers that transfers as much power the entire wind farm above Vantage generates at full capacity. Damn, stuff is BIG up here.

I can't find the ON button....

Flying to Orlando tomorrow. Anybody need anything?

That's one less psychotic we'll have to worry about.

Awesome!

Christ... “I noticed immediately that my phone no longer gets hot.” Lynn Dellapasta, Olmsted Twp., Ohio “I normally wear the Blackberry pager on my left hip side clipped to my belt. My lower left leg was hurting … since putting [Free]shield into my cell phone, the pain literally started going away the next day and been pain free since. What a surprise!” - Gary Roush, Federal Way, Washington “Without FreeShield my cell phone would always get hot, plus I could feel the heat in my head. Now that I have put the FreeShield on my phone, I not longer feel the heat or negative energy.” -

Oh god.... Tin foil hat

http://www.sarshield.com/ "Electromagnetic radiation EMF has been proven to be harmful. SAR Shield is the only cellular radiation shield to be tested using FCC SAR testing protocols. Safety is accomplished by dissipating deadly cancer causing electromagnetic radiation by up to 89%. Eliminate the dangers today!" No overstatement there, boy! LOVE THAT FREE MARKET.

A meta study is a form of study. But hey, you're a scientist, so you knew that. VISUALIZE YOURSELF AS THE SMARTEST KID IN THE ROOM. Apparently, the 'possible' label applies to even the weakest result. Still, this will kick off a whole raft of 'shielding' products - so there should be a little job creation going on.

The number of scientists and countries doesn't mean much if the study methodology is fundamentally flawed.

Welcome to the wonderful world of memory based study bias. "I'm on my phone 12 hours a day!" Um...no you're not.

Nope

GOP cuts back on early voting How anyone in good conscience can align with this party of liars, scammers, and idiots, and kooks is beyond me.

You might say I downloaded it.

Apparently Paul Revere did, in fact, warn the British: Palin's knows her American history... More historical corrections: Michelle Bachmann has moved the towns of Lexington and Concord to New Hamshire. It's getting hard to keep up with all these new revelations.

Dropped from 50 feet up. Still works.

My garden's finally ready for planting. Damn, I'm a bit late this year. Just gotta run to Lowe's for a 5 gallon drum of Roundup....oh, wait...the seeds I just bought say I won't need it.

hmmm...tvash and AK agreeing... Sorry to all the progressives. I'm just not tribal enough I guess...

Arguing whether war is 'natural' or not is masturbation. Psychopathy is natural, but few would argue that it should be ignored, accepted or promoted. The only argument that's worth having is whether or not any given war is justified. The answer is almost always a resounding NO. War is almost always a bad choice, as its proponents (those who aren't profiting from the mayhem, anyway) invariably find out soon enough once the shooting starts.

How many of you know whether it was 1 (by land) or 2 (by sea)?

Vietnam didn't end very quickly...at all. I'm 100% for a draft. You probably get a less effective fighting force, but the general population thinks twice about yelling 'support the troops!' - cuz it might cost 'em a kid or two rather than just the price of a yellow ribbon at the mini mart.

Bill's got a history of posting snuff pics - most of which have had nothing to do with any 'political statement' or other 'altruism'. He posted his kiddy snuff pics twice here, not to get any valid point across, but out of a five year old's spite. It's titillation, not activism, that's at work, here. We've all seen pics of dead kids. Some of us have seen them in person, myself included. No 'education' or reminder is necessary in that department, particularly by an aging, somewhat less-than-genius level nutter who is takes a purely recreational innernut forum just a wee bit too seriously for his own good. It's a bit ironic that saying the c__t is verboten but posting a pic of whatever trauma gives you a semi - (got any mutilated vaginas in on your hard drive, Bill?) is totally cool. Very American, really. Wouldn't want to offend the ladies, now would we? Funny how the word 'cock' flies, no problem. Those very same ladies seem to have no problem throwing that one around. But that's cool. Small potatoes. Posting snuff pics is not. It's fucking sick. I think I'm not at all alone in asking Bill to keep his mental illness to himself in that regard. Regarding Scott's post - the best way to end war is for failed and repressive societies to reform themselves. We might start this process at home - we've been the most belligerent, war making society on earth since WWII. The best way, in my view, to help make this happen is reform our own society to adhere more truly to the fundamental principles embodied in our Bill of Rights. That is the example we should provide for the rest of the world. If there is any lesson to be learned from the Arab Spring, it's that the example we set gets noticed - one way or the other. The legitimacy of our foreign policy depends on us walking our own talk. We don't, in many ways, but we could. It's a long game. Anti war protests are fine - been there, done that - if they get noticed. They so often don't, the war starts, the movement then crumbles. Oh well. So much for the short game. There are a million ways to help reform out society so that we walk our talk. Spraying (even with snuff pics), while fun, isn't one of them.

20? Very generous. Let's post another dead kid pic to show the innernet that NOBODY PUSHES THE MR. BILL AROUND. When playground passions become more important than a man's word, I'd say regression is near total. It's cool. Bill's a bit off, and sometimes he goes off. Once he lets his demons free range a bit, he gets over it. Good summer's morning, everyone! I'm stuck in town (fortunately, so is the GF). Hope you're not!

Just finished weeding me veggie beds. What would a Vicetopian Victory garden look like?
