Yeah, Ronnie helped out with the beta testing and some design work. Originally he chose a very dark color scheme ... with rainbows.

Actually, according to my records, @dio1 is the oldest member. Who knew?! Not only was he a code nerdlinger, but also the the father of the devil horns.
And though he can't be with us today, he still lives on in all of us, every time we offer our prayers to Satan. Dio1 may have been the first, but he'll also be the last.

I was actually discovered to be here when it was constructed. I can remember back (though quite foggy) to somewhere when the last pieces of code were starting to come together.

Sounds like The Troll to me. Although I have to admit that I don't actually know which of them came first, Small Faces or The Troll.

I guess I am trolling, but not to be mean and nasty, just trying to get some notice for the video and start some discussion.
I could use another sifted video, and nothing I say will hurt Led Zepplin, and , The Small Faces could use a little recognition for some damn good, trend setting music and style.
So, I used an attention grabbing title, did you watch and listen to the music?

No no no! I wasn't calling you a troll...I was referring to a band, The Troll. I'll grant you that very few people know of them....very obscure, and -very- psychedelic.
I grew up spending many, many hours listening to their 1968 album, Animated Music. As I said, I'm not too familiar with Small Faces, so I'm not sure who came first, but the sound of this clip was distinctly similar to the sounds of some songs on Animated Music. I'll see if I can find a clip to post.


HaHaHa...I guess I was being sensitive. Cool, I'll have to look into The Trolls, . I think you'll find that The Small Faces predated the Trolls, As the Small Faces formed in 1965, were a "Super Group" By 1967 and disbanded by 1969, Then reformed with Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart as The Faces.

I stopped watching when she invoked Ronnie "Contra affair" Reagan's philosophy of criminality to analyze the assignment of blame in the Gifford shooting.

Someone find that man the clip of Ronni Ancona and that one Qi clip where she tells a cool story about a word.


It's even on the Sift.

Someone find that man the clip of Ronni Ancona and that one Qi clip where she tells a cool story about a word.

"I got a bird. His name is Ronnie."
"Well tell Ronnie you got knocked the fuck out!"

I can get behind Ronnie on this one. The GDP is a poor gauge of the general well being of regular folk.

On that narrow subject, I agree.

Otherwise, Paul doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. In Paul's example, anyone who just thinks for a few minutes about why he's wrong.

Guy with $200k/yr job, and has $300k in existing debt, and loses his job. Paul neglects to mention assets. Generally speaking, people don't take out loans, and then light the borrowed money on fire. If the guy has $300k debt on a mortgage for a home worth $1 million, he's actually in pretty good shape fiscally speaking, though he may have to sell his house. If he can get a million dollar loan even in that situation, say to start a business, he'll probably have a negative net worth for a few years, but it seems to me that if he can get a million dollar loan for a business in that situation, people believe he will be able to make it work...

Same applies with his insinuation that we should subtract debt from GDP. This is like saying that the only number you should look at to judge your financial situation in your private life is your yearly salary, minus all of your debts. That's seriously negative for me, while a homeless unemployed guy would be only $0. Is the homeless guy really better off than me?

The adbusters clip implies that there should be a social utility factor involved in our measurements of economic growth, otherwise we have perverse incentives that lead us into broken window fallacies (e.g. cigarettes are awesome because not only are they profitable in their own right, they also boost sales in the lung cancer treatment industry). Paul makes that argument too, but he myopically picks an example that's government-specific (i.e. war), when it's a problem all over the place in private industry too.

Common ground.
