I really have a hard time understanding how some people can care so much about a sporting event that they actually cry, riot, attack, and kill over it. There isn't a single 'game' I know of where I could muster up that much emotion over it. The US lost the World Cup and I could not have cared less. Same goes for…

It is not saying, "Someone else's problem". It is saying, "There really isn't even a problem at all, and claiming a problem exists when there really isn't one is illogical." Supplies are not "dwindling". Really. There's tons of oil out there, and it isn't going to run out in "a few years" as some alarmists claim,…

When Krull came out in 1983 I was a 14 year old with an entire summer to waste crawling the mall with my paper-route money in my pocket. The theater showed matinée movies for only a buck-fifty. I would buy a ticket, and get a Coke Slurpee and a popcorn for another 3 bucks. It blew a solid 2 hours of my time and I…

I'm not 'putting off change'. I'm saying we should only do things when it makes sense to do them. Quite frankly, we don't "need" to come up with an alternative yet because (A) oil is in good supply (B) there is no feasible replacement for it and (C) there is no compelling reason to NOT use oil until (A) and (B)…

And Coltrain's "Rhun" character was one of the great parts of the movie. He was almost as good as David Battley. Every time Rhun said anything it was gold. He was just so gruff and sarcastic...
Torquil: "You heard him. We are now an army!"
Rhun: "An unpaid army..."
Torquil: "You got a problem, Rhun?"
Rhun: "Can't a…

I need this animated GIF to be on a T-shirt somehow...

There are worse places to end up, I suppose. But his role as Eddington wasn't exactly great thespianism either. The scene where he died calling out to phantom comrades as a means to make the Jem'Hadar think that he had a squad with him was very forced. And that bit where he told Sisko "I'll give you ME...!" was…

I agree that "wasting" oil is a bad idea, but I would'nt go so far as to say that using it for fuel is "wasting" it. For vehicular transportation there really isn't anything better yet. Hydrogen is a pipe dream, and EVs will never truly be a replacement for fossil until there is an entire paradigm shift in battery…

Not very WELL, granted... :P Ken Marshall in the early 80s had some star power and was in a mini-series (Marco Polo) as the lead. Krull tanked so hard that he never quite recovered and by the mid to late 80s he also started losing that magnificent head of hair where he went from this...

Doing stupid things is worse than doing nothing. And if you think America isn't ruled by an EPA iron fist that regularly crushes productivity under its heel then you really aren't paying attention - or perhaps you're just gullible. The fact is that the US is one of the most heavily regulated nations on the plant for…

Typical Green Stupidity on display. Not that there is any other kind...

It's equally amazing how oblivious you are to other facts. Oil isn't "ancient organisms". It is a petrochemical created FROM organisms - some ancient and some not so ancient. Oil is "finite" only in the same sense that dirt is finite and air is finite - but the flawed perception that there is only "X" amount of oil…

The CIA Factbook and other statistical sources prove the following about the world population...

Krull really did have an awesome secondary cast. Liam, Coltrain, Freddy Jones, David Battley.. They were all very well cast. Sadly, the leads were not as good as the secondary. Ken Marshall in particular was just awful, and Lyssette wasn't a lot better.

Cheerios must do the same thing somehow because they have a 'softer' mouth feel along with a lighter oat taste. The generic Cheerios have always seemed 'starchier', crispier, and the oat taste was either totally in your face or didn't really taste like oats at all.

It used to be easier to tell the difference, but some of the off-brands have been getting much better as time goes on. It used to be that I could totally tell the difference between Fruity Dyno Bites and Fruity Pebbles - but now they are awfully darn close. MaltoMeal has been perfecting their cheaper versions for…

Agreed. Real Corn Flakes have a toasty background flavor that the generic versions just can't match. However, the generic Frosted Flakes and the real deal are pretty much the same to me.

Someone else summed it all up very succinctly...

Read a grammar book and try again. Quotation marks are used for citations, but also for irony and/or emphasis. And (as I expected) you have no actual response and so resort to the standard defeated argument trope of attacking the man rather than attempting to salvage the wreckage of your positions. Typical, but…

Quick response: The number of times I need to drive more than 40 miles in a day is about 4 to 8 times in an average month. So no, on most days I wouldn't need 864 pounds of batteries. But I would need around 400 pounds of batteries on MOST days, and having enough power to travel the same distance as a tank of gas…
