I apologize for the misunderstanding. I was driving home a couple of days ago with my car windows open, and while I was slowing down for a stop sign It sounded like the person said "I am ant from videosift". While he was drop kicking his donkey. I would have liked to stop and say hello but you were coming at me quickly and wielding a shovel.

too bad everyone's too busy with their ipads and lattes to organize.


But the real thing is, do the people really have power, how many of those people are educated enough to think about what really happens, and how many of them aren't blind to the reality of war. In some way I feel that people really don't care unless there's a MOAB explosion 9 blocks away from their house.

Carlin said it best.

I used to dislike sweatshops and avoided with open disdain any company that used them. Then I realized I love my goddamn Nikes. Fuck off and sweat, motherfuckers.

Kidding. Though I do think the majority of "sweatshops" in underdeveloped and poor countries give better working wages than laborers in those areas typically receive. To us, $5 a day is impossible to live on, but over there that may be a decent wage when adjusted for their economy.

As for @volumptuous claim that Ubuntu cannot handle the software he uses, he is correct, but only because there isn't a market for it - if people chose Ubuntu all that software would be created for it. But Ubuntu isn't sexy like Mac, and all of volumptuous' low fat soy latte sipping, Prius driving, Sig bottle drinking, iPhone calling, Oliver Peoples glasses wearing, carbon credit buying, The Standard in Downtown going, CNN text alert receiving, CFL bulb using, Obama Biden bumper sticker having friends use Mac because they're the "in" thing here in LA.

Obama is no marxist. His policies are centrist liberal. Yes, he cut some taxes but they are not enough.

Furthermore, let's not forget the policies of Reagan were an antidote to the high inflation caused by the military Keynesianism/supposed golden era of Liberalism of the post war boom period (1945-67). Unions were too strong and corrupt, durable and nondurable good consumption started falling in the late 60's, the emergence of OPEC, the expansion of the communist menace leading us into Vietnam, various conflicts to combat Marxist-Leninist-Maonist armed resistence groups taking power under political party fronts and an arms race with the Soviets and off the gold standard...While Europe had their social welfare experiment, we were busy policing the globe.

After the Volcker shock of 1979 (boosted IR to 20%) this lead to the financialization of the economy and the move away from manufacturing. All of this happened under the Carter Administration. Realizing the golden era of liberalism was untenable it brought the inevitable Reagan to prominence whose new regime (following the prescription of Milton Freidman and others was to allow consumers and the market to decide and to decrease the centralized control of government) - as denationalization of the public sector was the only way to create more opportunities and jobs. Cheap credit was not only championed by Wall Street as an antitode to problems, but was also championed by Democrats.

Democrats were almost completely unelectable in the White House until Bill Clinton and his administration (was Republican lite in essence as enacting Welfare Reform and setting the infrastructure for the War in Iraq and following the financial privitization schemes of the Chicago School, the FED fueled dotcom and mortgage bubble which created the much ballyhooed and fictitiuous Clinton surplus) is the reason for the financial deregulation in the late 90's (Clinton is now distancing himself from Rubin and Summers regading derivatives). The Neoconservatives and Democrats have much in common - as they both believe in crazy spending. Neocons through military (some of which does create nascent industries of the future), and Democrats who spend on any frivoulous social programs that work to break states and keep their politicos electable. Where is the incentive to become a producer in this country? If you are not paying high taxes you are competing against government subsidized monopolies (stop whining for more jobs when you overregulate ad penalize big corporations for doing what they need to do to make profits). The Democrats kill the ability to start a small to medium sized business thus making it more attractive to join big firms - that everyone continues to attack - sending them racing abroad.

And last time I checked the "real left" - which Obama distances himself from for good reason - is too busy scratching their heads ain petty sectarianism about how all of their wonderfully utopian ideas caused over 70 years of dreary totalitarianism. Seems the working class in the US now wants nothing to do with them. They want Palin. While you upper middle class liberals eat organic, sip latte's, do your hipster environmental thing and make fun of these people - they are forming the next grassroots that will be a vital contituency to covet.

These people may not be smart - but know that Obama is untrustworthy if he thinks the Federal Government can spend its way out of this mess, not understanding that for every 1/2 cent we have saved we still owe 2 dollars and that if we start increasing our deficits to create new jobs, the Chinese will sell off their currency reserves which are in dollars and then...

Had you been drinking coffee instead of latte flavored milk, you may had been alert enough to avoid this catastrophe.

If the first car had been going 80 km/h, it would have past the semi before the truck even crossed the intersection and would have been able to get his Venti Caramel Moca Latte and smash into the back of a police cruiser at the accident while rubbernecking to see what happend to the second car.

I do love, love, love the AeroPress that I received last week. One shouldn't love a piece of durable plastic this much. Always loved his frisbee as well. The brilliance of the AeroPress design is in its capacity to self-clean.

If you are kettle boiling, listen for the hiss rather than the whistle. I found that water fully boiled in a kettle is far too hot. Or you can scare the family with a screaming kettle and wait about 4-5 minutes.

For easy and fun lattes (if children are involved in the foaming process), invest in a $2 IKEA milk foamer or something slightly more advanced (but cheap) if an IKEA is not nearby. Illy coffee is simply wonderful in the AeroPress.

Seems very odd that a kettle which boils water... so at least has to make some of it reach 100c would have an overall temp of 80c... but anyway

Yeah, I can see how one of these would be great if you weren't a latte style drinker... I couldn't handle it, but it looks like it would make a better coffee than a drip filter, and faster too.

I didn't get a great deal this year as I really didn't want much, and was far more excited to see the kids get thrilled over their pressies.

Dag... question on the Aeropress: How do you make sure the water is the correct temp? That's one of the most important bits about making coffee... and here it shows just pouring water from a kettle.

And then it doesn't do the milk frothing etc. so... for me, useless as I'm a Latte drinker. And if I have to use something else to froth the milk, I'd rather just use my espresso machine

Still, I do like simple design, and that looks very nice from that point of view.

Who give a fuck what they are called. Drink what you want and be done with it. If you get a tall that is what Starbucks sells as small then that is what you get. They sell coffee in smaller cups, I believe it is called short, but they don't want to sell you that because they can't make as much money by selling you smaller amounts of coffee. If you don't like that business practice, don't go to Starbucks.

Stop being a whinny bitch and don't fucking make everyone else wait for your coffee cup size definition philosophical debate.

It's just a freaking coffee... or rather "vanilla latte" that's not coffee that is what you Bitch-Ass Nigga drinks.

You know I should make a video about morons who say "I can't function without coffee!" Giving yourself excuses for being a bitch? Coffee usually need hour to affect you, you fucking moron, the caffeine don't have immediate affect on you! It has to travel through your circulatory system. If you think otherwise, then the act of being "ineffectual" is on you, not the lack of coffee and being a bitch is who you really are.

And you dumb bitch... caffeine increase loss of calcium, you need that so you don't get osteoporosis as older woman... and it appears you are getting old.
