@Asmo

i hear what yer saying bud,and you are making valid points that many on the left just seem allergic to even acknowledge,let alone criticize.

but i do not think newt falls in that category,i do not mean to speak for him (but i will anyways,because i am a cock).newt was simply pointing out what ANTIFA meant,he was not making a moral judgment (i think they are deluded ideological cunts myself).

i am betting that newt,along with the majority of americans,had no idea how this clusterfuck of a social neanderthals found themselves clashing with their knuckledragging,piss-poor ideology of dollar store enlightenment and hyper-racist nationalism.

hell,the majority didn't even bother to ask the question :"how did this happen"?

well it didn't fall out of the fucking sky sweetheart!

if you are a conservative,a republican and you think that white nationalism is not a problem,and needs to be exposed for the bullshit tribalism it represents.

then you are part of the problem.

if you are a liberal/progressive,and a democrat and you think that it is perfectly fine to "punch a nazi in the face",attack those who you disagree with ideologically and do your best to prevent them from speaking,often using violence.

then allow me to introduce you to a fantastic word in the english language:irony

and let's tack on "hypocrite" for good measure.

because you are part of the problem as well.

i am not impressed with unenlightened,self centered and narcissistic ideologies that try to pass themselves off as relevant social issues.

i mean seriously...fuck these people.

Unfortunately in our ridiculous litigious society, just touching him can land you in jail and with a civil lawsuit for all you own. You would likely win both cases, but just fighting them is more than some have resources or time for.

Also, I don't think the people running the store were really worried about that kid's future at that moment, at least not after he's arrested. They knew who he was and that the cops are coming, so they probably assumed his parents would be forced to pay for it all, and might have just been allowing the bill to increase to be sure he gets punishment later. It's a dollar store, it takes a lot of damage to make a serious charge...destruction of $23 worth of products won't cut it.

OK, so Why?

Why won't it enter the sponge? why won't the liquid enter the negative spaces in the sponge?

I do know there are some materials that don't absorb water - I have some dish towels (bought at the dollar store) that won't absorb water, absolutely useless. But I think that's different as I doubt they would absorb anything.

So why not Mercury? it's definitely more dense than water. Are the molecules larger than the H2O Molecule? I don't think it is, and even if it was, surly they are not larger than the holes in the sponge.

I'd like to see this tried with different types of sponges.

Every time I chime-in on this retarded phenomena (another in a long-line of developmental disabilities engaged in by modern-day peeps) the cringe releases another gush of acids into my already damaged sphincters-More and more idiots on the road who can't drive anyway with worthless device #836 in their hands letting their robot friends know whats in their heads instead of concentrating on the 3-ton beast they indenture themselves to be able to play moron roulette with.

On of the many reasons I stay pissed-off. Recently though, I must say that I have found a way to diminish the frequency of road-raging incidents. I keep a few cans of silly string from the dollar store in the glove box and instead of shouting at people, I engage them at a stop with an attention-grabbing insult, and quickly empty the can (into their face if I can) on and into their vehicle.

Not adverse to the occasional brake-check, the 1-minute-horn-loop, or bumper-tap, to wrest the head from a fellow-motorist's ass as well. Herding and sheep-dogging works wonders for cooling the cell-towers in the vicinity of my vehicle as well, oh there's all kinds of wonderful things to pay attention to whilst sharing the motorways with choggie.

Herzog has his appeal to idiots, I have mine.
Please make a law in my State with stiff penalties for cell phone use while driving, another monkey law like seat belts which becomes monkey habit...

The person who runs a pedestrian down while texting? A tattoo of a cell-phone keypad on their fucking forehead and 10,000 hours of community service picking-up chewed bubble-gum off the pavement of AT&T cellular store parking-lots wearing a sandwich board.

PEOPLE! It's "Daylight Saving", not "Daylight Savings"! It's not a dollar store that's only open during daylight hours


HAHAHAHAHAHA! Duly noted [and revised] =oD

PEOPLE! It's "Daylight Saving", not "Daylight Savings"! It's not a dollar store that's only open during daylight hours

IMDB rating 7.3! I liked it!

Laughed at quote from Ty Burr of Boston Globe though...

"Watching Prometheus is like opening a deluxe gift box from Tiffany's to find a mug from the dollar store."

If you're so rich, why the dumb looking dollar store sunglasses?

edit - Also, AMAZING TEETH, MATES!

Upvote... but I'd be interested what advantages this has over some competing models:

1. You have the same adjustable glasses, but make them more rugged/sealed and add some labelling to the dials and what not. Then you can adjust them until it's right. Then read off the numbers and take the matching set out of the big bin of $1 plastic glasses. Perhaps, in order to be more efficient and deal with varying eyes, you have glasses with snap in lenses.

Or, even simpler:

2. You have some bins of plastic glasses (or snap in lenses) and an eye chart. People come in and try glasses on until they find the set that works best for them.

If you forego any sort of fashion, use cheapest materials, and get some Chinese "dollar store" manufacturers involved, I bet you get these down to $.10. Especially if you really simplify design: a single strip of punched plastic/nylon/birdshit for the frame, and squareish plastic lenses with top/bottom slots to hold them in. Make lenses in ratio to the most common prescriptions, and bingo you're done.

Soooooo I just need to go to the dollar store and pick up the cheapest pre-packaged food I can find and dump it into a litter box and do whatever it takes to make it look like cat shit and piss and serve it too my kids. The proud American mom.

In California, a "mutual affray" is usually a defense against child abuse when a fight is between minors. A mutual affray requires intent by both parties to get into a tussle: something akin to "I'll meet you in the parking lot at the Dollar Store so we can throw down." There is no such thing as verbal battery and an assault requires the perceived threat of immediate bodily harm, neither of which EBM can be accused of in my opinion. This is clearly a case of an assault and battery by the young man and retaliation in form of self defense by EBM.

In reply to this comment by NordlichReiter:
Question for you, which may or may not be founded, I judged by your screen name that you know something about law.

Epic Beard Man and his assailant are both possibly guilty of Mutual Affray?

$10 plug? IIRC this show is shot near SF, which means he could have headed over to 16th/Mission (it's even got a BART station) and picked up stereo-miniplug jumpers (two plugs) for $1 at no fewer than 2 dollar stores that sit at that intersection. So I've got problems with their information to start.

Secondly, this myth is bustable on paper. A cone speaker requires, at minimum, three things: coil, cone, magnet. If we assume that the penny is somehow functioning as a coil (major stretch) and that the foil is acting as a cone (it lacks sufficient rigidity), we still need something for the coil to resist against, and their is nothing else magnetically reactive in the "speaker".

If this was an attempt to "prove" that it didn't work, then they need to pull out an amp (that they don't mind destroying) and run some juice through it, battery powered CD player, not even a real test.
