The blood’s still liquid? I’ve eaten pork’s blood that’s been made into a tofu like consistency, but haven’t seen it still in liquid form. Off to google...

Curious - what’s a spicy pork blood dinner?

Better living through botany!

“I’m growing these mushrooms for the climate, serious!”

Oh, I don’t mind him. He’s entitled to his opinion. If I’m one of those “someone is wrong on the Internet” guys I’d have started a pointless and time wasting debate with him, but he has clearly already made up his mind and wants to be an Internet tough guy (“I’d put a bullet in him myself”).

Interesting idea. So if we get rid of all the people who can tell it’s a forgery, problem solved? *rubs hands together*

I don’t know how true is Ghyh’s claim (I lack the knowledge to determine validity) but assuming it is, a world class art forger can hire a biochemistry student - or professor - easily.

Treason. You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

No way in hell that’s going to happen. He never donated significant amounts of money to any politicians, and he is unlikely to be in a position to offer Obama any favors after Obama leaves office.

I think a knife block makes more sense as well, but if grease and dust is your problem, you’re not using your knives enough.

WTF. Capitalization. Start doing that immediately.

I know they’re far less powerful in operation, but given the same amount of reactant mass, are they 100 million times more powerful? If not, where does the 100 million number come from? I realize that we’re talking about orders of magnitude of difference in reactant mass between ion engines and chemical rockets.

That’s right. And those porn files are not mine. Someone used my computer last week.

I read that some plans were scrapped in March. Not sure if it is still in the plans. VASIMR is a type of ion drive, right?

Oh fuck it all. Between bureaucrats with wet dreams of a totalitarian state and clueless politicians, I’m giving up and joining the Dark Side. Hey, NSA, can you just look at the resume in my hard drive and contact me if it interests you?

No, I don’t think nukes would have improved anything for the rest of the world. I did say I can’t think of a simple solution.
