Thanks for that translation... even funnier.
I can't believe all the snow - on the street, pushed against the houses. Wonder where this was filmed?


Well somewhere over in europe this year, lot of places in central and eastern europe got hammered with snowfall though not much in cold canada this year, they can have our snow. Though last year it could have been in Ontario. Last winter we had places with 4-6m of snow on the ground in a 1 week period. And I spent more than a few weeks out with friends shoveling off roofs and trying to dig people out.

Oh look someone who doesn't understand that when you're testing new drugs, that you occasionally find something that does something else. Ever hear of Rogaine, that magical drug for hair loss recovery? Did you know it was originally a heart medication. So was viagra. I'm sure that understanding the differences between the two will be illuminating. Besides, killing microscopic parasites is hard, unless you want to kill the patient.

I'm sure it'll further amaze you that some of the immunoboosters used in cancer treatment are the class-a drugs for treating aids now.

I don't know of a single death from Erectile Dysfunction that could have been prevented if Viagra would have been invented earlier.

You are aware that deregulation of the market is what cussed the current economic climete ?

To a point yes, but not in the way you think. What caused the problem was throwing loans to people who should never have gotten them via forced regulation of the mortgage system. A lovely harkening to the days of Clinton, Carter and others. While various democrats in power screamed "racist" whenever reforms were sought to tighten the controls back up. It's pretty damn obvious to anyone who's lived outside the US. You don't allow high risk loans to risky people, but the government not only said it was okay to do it(freddie and fanny), but forced the banks to do it otherwise they'd loose their secured depositor status.


It doesn't help that 100 years of Keynesian economic policies(aka lets throw money at it), didn't help either. Keynesian solutions sow their own doom in the future, either by steering a sector of the market, or by trying to fully steer various markets.

Never mind losing their job, or their house. It's hard to live the American dream when you're unemployed and facing being homeless...
You can understand why the working class are getting pissed and the republicans are scared shitless about it. And holdouts like QM, with his quaint little almost racial slurs and real bad ass insults (occupoopers... lol, what are you, 6? Or is that your IQ?), are just a pebble before the avalanche. Europe goes under and the US slides back in to recession, you may well see a decent reenactment of the French revolution on Wall St.


Wait, you think it's the republicans that the public are pissed at? Do you even look at the polling data and methodology? They're tired of the new "hope and change" which equaled broke, and I'm out of a job. Hell if you run the correction numbers since Obama and the dem's took office, the unemployment rate would be up around 11%. The "occupiers" are a subset of a subset of people, who don't even come close to reflecting the mainstreet. Republican's aren't scared of that, though the Dem's who supported them sure seem to be. Since the occupiers poison touch sure has tanked many dem's numbers who 'supported' them.

Yay, maybe I'll be able to play this game in three years time, when I can afford a computer to run it. sighs

Do you have a PC that was build in the last 4 years, and have at least an 8800GT? Congrats you can run it.

To be fair this guy has hacked the giant bear in to the game, can't really blame Bethesda when it doesn't work out too well.


No hacking involved, it's using the engine's console commands to change the objects scale size. And since the physics is determined by the set scale, something outside of it, acts oddly.

Hit ~ select target. Type w/o quotes:
"Getscale" This lets you see the actual size of an object
"Setscale" this lets you modify the size of the object.

Bears on average are 0.99-1.02, humans(imperials) are 1(m), 0.95(f), other races vary. So if you have a scale of 1, and use 5. All hell breaks loose.

Ah, these Keynesian Klugmans, trying to clean up a government-created mess with more government.

Eh what do you expect? Keynesian economics is doomed to fail, for one simple reason. Throwing money at a problem doesn't work. What surprises me more is that these "99%er's" and ows idiots are promoting the same problem that created the problem. Weee! 100 years of failed keynesian economics comes back to bite the world in the ass, and the solution? More failed keynesian economics.

It constantly surprises me that this naked propaganda dressed as class warfare gets promoted by the idiots of our society.

Well people are still posting his crap huh? I guess there's a few diehards left. So since he attacked West, does that make him a racist?

Considering what you said is akin to the money throwers. I'd say that you're pretty close to the rabbit hole yourself.

Short-sell the mutherfucker and take shirt of his back!

(Makes me sick!)

P.S. Are you sure this isn't a hoax like YesMen?

And let me guess? The best solution would be to continue to throw money at it, in turn drawing out the inevitable failure of long term fiscal problems. Instead of forcing a collapse and ensuring that they get their fiscal house in order right.
No wonder europe is fucked, along with the US. Throwing money at a problem does not fix it, it only delays the inevitable unless drastic steps are taken.

Harder or easier than using a spellchecker?


Nah I work on a 36hr day cycle. About the time I hit 34hrs, things stop making a lot of sense. About the time I hit 35hrs, sense is gone, and so is grammar.

What about friction? Seems like this type of gear would need a lot of lubrication and even then it just looks like it would have a lot more wear over time... then again, I have no idea.


No biggie. A rear differential is half or more full of fluid already. If lubrication issues are a problem all you need to do is modify the gears to draw the fluid up as it's turning. Not as hard as it seams.

Seems that the general quality of samples size does nothing but go down. The last 2 years I've read nothing less than 50 studies with sizes under 30 people, and trying to pull a 'look, it's infallible' mode of reasoning. Having read the same posted study as you, and come to the same conclusion that they were attempting to correlate attributes, we simply need to go back to grade 9 science. Correlation != Causation.

After all, we've seen the disastrous results of that. Vaccine insanity, HRT, etc. And anyone who believes this type of crap one way or the other needs to get their conformation bias checked, or their head out of their ass.

I suppose it would have been more accurate to say that they were correlating brain attributes to self-identified ideological leanings. I don't think it had anything to do with a participant's opinion on any particular issue or situation.

Investing is 20% skill, 70% luck, and 10% understanding how to play the system. So yes, much like other investors, myself included who've made money hand over fist. He is a buffoon, a lucky one, but still a buffoon.

And since there is way more money to be made from giving old white guys a few last boners than saving millions of por people from malaria, we still don't have one effective drug against it.
Three cheers for privatizing the medical sector!


Oh look. Someone with a anti-rich, anti-white guy rant. I mean it's not like we haven't been using things like Quinine for nearly 500 years to treat it or anything, and it's not like europeans didn't figure out what worked or anything.

Cheers. That "private medical sector" did just fine.
