Damn, he's busy. Peter Puget was just telling me how he was instructing children in homosexuality while shitting on the bible talking to Karl Marx.

What's the uniform definition for hazardous terrain? Is that when the avalanche risk scale is 5? Or when it's 3? I can introduce you to some nice people south of the Mason Dixon line who think entering when it's 1 is stupid because skiing is stupid and dangerous. Like avalanche risk financial risk is a continuum. Some people mark certain lines as "stupid" or "smart" but those depend on personal tolerance and skill. Should we regulate who can go into avalanche terrain and at what levels? That's what prohibiting subprime loans would be. This leads to JayB's question. Where would I draw the line? I'd have loved to see the banks, the homeowners and everyone else fucked but that would lead to other not so nice consequences. For those who are bailedout perhaps a cap on the appreciation that could be realized on subprime properties with amounts in excess being returned to the taxpayer (bailerout)?

We already bailed out the banks because they fucked up loaning to these people, why shouldn't we bail out the others? Avalanches are statistical phenomena as well. Some people knowingly take risks and suceed, some people are stupid and suceed, some people knowingly take risks and fail, some people are stupid and fail. Calling all participants stupid shows you are the stupid one

yuppers. Palisades.

who says they have the choice to breed?

Interesting stuff Dane Those numbers seem a bit off. MSRP on the standard BD picks ~2000 was $38.50. My memory was Aermets were <2x the cost of the standard pick so <$75 (catalogs of 2000-02 don't list Aermets). I can see why they couldn't be made for $40 to keep a decent hardgoods margin, but $110 seems really high. For reference the black prophet ice tool cost less to manufacture.

C’mon, C’mon gimme a break, how much more winter can I take? Enuf, enuf, let spring be born, I’m more than ready for sun and corn. Okay, okay, today’s the last, and then winter fades into the past. At least for awhile you will cheer, as sun and warmth caress your gear. While Friday and Saturday will herald spring, an increased danger warmth will bring. As snow warms and melts and begins to flow, downhill the slides will merrily go. While some slides may start rather small, it’s easy not to heed their call. But as melt progresses deeper, larger slides will fall on angles steeper. So increased caution’s strongly urged, until the recent new snow’s been purged. Since locally high danger may develop, don’t let yourself the slides envelop.

Dartmouth isn't good?

Uh, the whole idea behind sub-prime mortgages was to give people who wouldn't qualify for standard mortgages, you know - those dirty negros, latinos and other poor people - access to lending at higher rates because they were higher risk. The whole complete total personal responsibility canard is amusing in the modern world - people contract with agents - real estate, mortgage, doctors, lawyers - because they don't have expertise in that subject. Some of those agents can be held legally responsible for misconduct and misrepresentation, others can't.

bwah.... which company there aren't many

I'm just as retarded in real life mattp

Im no professional mountaineer, but i am somewhat of an outsider, and I have to say, no one sprays like the folks on cc. Its some of the funniest shit i have ever seen! I asked Dean Potter if he'd ever read cc.com over a warm glass of pee - he mock bit the head off a monkey in reply.

I'm callow

start with roast pork and potatoes. A bavarian town without pork is not bavarian

look - its the one note skinflutist!

yeah, he should have been crucified

big sponsored eco expeditions are amusing sidenotes in the modern world given you can go pretty much anywhere with public transportation and your own two feet

Sorry I was getting drunk in the parking lot. Ski. Ski. Ski :moondance:

Ah, manufacturing history to fit emotional needs. Nothing more pomo than that :tup:

Well thats good to hear about Trash. I will say in my defense, that my post wasn't an analysis though, it was stating facts which I know from first hand experience. The Taiwan invasion within 5 years thing I got from a Chi-Com party member who was shocked that it was new "news" to me, I reconfirmed it with a few other English speaking Chinese while visiting that country last year. Their defense posture re-confirms it: like mainland China loading up more and more on offensive missiles near the straits, pointing at Taiwan. Last public count was over 400, whereas a few years ago, there were none, and no reason for any now. As far as if the US would get involved, too many variables to list, however, most likely we would, and as I knocked heads describing this result to the Communist part member, it would result in many, many of her's and my countrymen dead. I could tell that she was not mentally prepared for a brutal war and US involvement: thats how they are rolling on the subject now anyway, just so you know. They think it will be a cakewalk, much like when they rolled Tibet, and we will stay out. Are you retarded? At the current moment the US could wipe the floor with China militarily. The Economic repercussion would be longterm In 5 years ask again.

yup

Perhaps BC should take the lead in this industry? http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1458080.ece

I think the biggest problem with your proposed model is you assume the average patient can be an arbiter of what tests/treatments he or she might need to treat their malady. We go to the doctor precisely because we do NOT know how to do that. We do not know what we do not know and if a doctor omits a critical test/procedure from the list of options presented to us is he somehow now free from liability because we made our own decisions? Well duh - this is about corporatism. What the corporation does for itself will trickle down and benefit you, eventually, maybe.
