In what way ?

Hot water radiators (possibly the type in this skit) are powered by circulating hot water from a boiler. the water only gets to a certain temperature and then is dispursed through the pipes of the building.

The water stops flowing when the room itself/thermometer registers that the air temperature is what you want it to be.

The water/radiator does not heat up quicker if you jack the temperature on the dial, the water just flows longer to heat the air up longer. The water is at a constant temperature, unless you have a shit boiler/water heater.

Electrics might be different, well they are actually when they have settings like 500 watt 1000 watt and 1500 watt settings. But in apartments it all depends on what the thermostat reads.

Now I wonder if your comment was facetious...

this is steve spacek's brother who is also destroying dancefloors right now:

You're right. That would have been a great response. But he didn't do that, did he? He did exactly what Henning said he did -- knee jerk rejection of anything Obama does or did, without using critical thinking or judgment.

And Cain didn't answer the reporter's follow up question -- there wasn't anybody in charge of the opposition. That is known. So what would you have done then, different than Obama?

As someone who has hung around business people some, I hear "business speak" -- what do managers do in business? They gather information and make decisions. Good managers gather good information. Herman Cain was talking boiler plate biz talk, with attempts at sounding In Charge and Manly. POTUS is not a fricking fracking business manager. He/she has a much bigger job than that.

Cain hasn't a clue. And he doesn't even know he doesn't have a clue.

>> ^My_design:

I don't see it that way at all. He is merely stating that he doesn't feel Obama spent enough time assessing Qaddafi's opposition. However he also states that he is not privy to what assessment Obama may have done, if any. Especially since Obama is getting the praise for it all when it was supposed to be a United Nations operation. But that is a whole different thread...
I think it's a pretty fair answer in all. You ask a question about how someone may do something differently, knowing full well there is no way they could have all the information about it. He's not in the government...yet.
The response I would have liked to have seen would have been:
"How the hell can I question what the President did or didn't do? I don't have top secret clearance yet. But I would have hoped that he spent plenty of time researching and understanding Qaddafi's opposition so we don't wind up with some puppet government like all the other failed puppet governments we've put in place before. Only time will tell if the United Nations and Obama screwed the pooch on this or not."

At least he knew where Libya is and who was in charge. Better than some of the politicians we've had in the past. Looking your way there Bushy boy...
>> ^HenningKO:
"Even tho I know nothing of the situation now or how it was assessed by Obama at the time and I approve of the results, I would have done a better job."
Pure obstructionist stream of consciousness.

Oh America, when will you ever get over the fact that people have sex. At work as well. On the copy machine, behind the counter, in the boiler room, on the desk, etc etc etc. The cruiser just happens to be this cop's work place. You think other tax-paid civil servants never? Or is it the fact that they have the "decency" to do it in their offices, away from the prying eyes of camera drones and voyeuristic wildlife?

Theology aside, Carman really doesn't seem to have a good understanding of Freddie Kruger's behavior and overall style. He (Kruger) generally tries to hide the fact that you are having a dream in the first place, to give himself the tactical advantage of surprise. Never, NEVER, would Freddie Kruger own a house or answer a door for that matter, and if for some reason he DID need a residence for some kind of nightmare-related business, it certainly wouldn't be an ooky-spookie halloweenie haunted house; it would be something subtle, like a shack or a boiler room break area. Freddie was all about surprise.

I'm sorry to say it, but if Carman had gone up against Freddie Kruger, he would not have stood the slightest chance of surviving. Freddie was very good at using the pomposity and vainglory of his victims to great advantage. Half way through this video, it would have been BAM... squashed under an avalanche of Bibles.. or.. glug, glug, glug, Carmen drowns in a vat of holy water.... It would have been something ironic, because that's how Freddie rolls.

Carman basically just beat up some old goth poser, with no real magical abilities.

Also, and probably more importantly, if building seven can only be explained by controlled demolition then where are all the engineers on this topic? Why does it only seem to be people without a professional background in such things the ones saying it couldn't have happened when the boilers exploded or whatever the official claim states.

Here you go

Wow, I admit that I also didn't expect this with the name "Joe Rogan" on the title.

But that was a pretty concise representation of the truly salient, and inherent problems with US Foreign policy, and with some good editing and clips to boot.

I can't say I'm in love with the building seven bit at the end though.

Operation Northwoods clearly shows it's not beyond question for nefarious plans against our own citizens to reach the highest offices of the Pentagon and even meet with approval.

But I just find it nearly impossible to believe that the same minds who could conceive and carry out a plan like this would not realize that they could've gotten away with whatever they want for far, far less than anything approaching the scale of nearly destroying downtown Manhattan.

I mean the Gulf of Tonkin Incident was some destroyer out somewhere in a sea most Americans couldn't find on a map if their lives depended on it. And that was enough of an excuse to invade south east asia!

Keep in mind that the Gulf of Tonkin Bullshit story was drafted AFTER operation Northwoods was rejected by Kennedy. They already knew that a justification to gear up the military required nearly nothing. So why would they stage this elaborate hoax to accomplish what they could do anyway? Hell, even the first Gulf War showed the American appetite for war was a lot different then what they dealt with in the late 60's and 70's.

Americans these days only need a short empty speech with zero content, a flag waving fireworks extravaganza, a country music song or two and we'd be willing to invade fucking Canada.

It wasn't needed.

Also, and probably more importantly, if building seven can only be explained by controlled demolition then where are all the engineers on this topic? Why does it only seem to be people without a professional background in such things the ones saying it couldn't have happened when the boilers exploded or whatever the official claim states.

And if destroying some sort of unique treasure trove of financial documents was the goal then it seems an awfully elaborate way to torch a building, but what do I know I guess.

I'm just typing too much.

buy a rice cooker. cook yer rice and it shuts off into "warm mode"


Or use a pot you already own, use your brain which you supposedly have operating.. and use each in a sort of symbiotic relationship, to.. measure out water, boil water, add rice,cover rice,reduce heat,time 20 (or so minutes) and save yourself 60 dollars, all the while feeling neat-o for not needing a machine to cook rice.. what next, a pasta boiler ?

This boat is way taller than I would have thought and more narrow.
Am I being foolish to say it looks like it would sink if it hit an Iceberg - And I say this because it also looks as though it would tip if the right sized wave hit it as well. It must have quite a large hull under the water and an amazingly deep keel.

I guess I'm wrong - not as deep of a hull & keel as i would have expected...

Which still leaves it looking very "Tippy" to me.

• Draught: 34 feet. (the depth to which a vessel is immersed.)

• Displacement: 66,000 tons of water.
• The Titanic had 4 funnels (smokestacks). Each was 62 feet tall and had a diameter of 22 feet.
• The distance from keel to top of funnels was 175 feet.
• The rudder was 78 feet high, weighed about 101 tons and was cast in 6 separate pieces.
• Titanic's 3 anchors had a combined weight of 31 tons.
• More than 3 million rivets were used to build the Titanic.
• "Triple screw" - 3 propellers. The 2 outer propellers - diameter of 23', center propeller - diameter of 17'.
• The total horsepower of the engines was 51,000.
• 29 boilers - 24 double ended and 5 single ended.
• 159 furnaces.
• 16 watertight compartments.
• 15 transverse watertight bulkheads.
• Equipped with 20 lifeboats (total capacity 1,178)

There are times when one up vote is simply not enough; I wish I could give it 15 more. Thank you!

In reply to this comment by TheFreak:
I need to hire a plumber to fix my heating boiler before winter. My boiler is very old and in terrible condition so it has to be fixed every fall. All the thoughtful and intelligent comments about this video have inspired me to try a new tactic in getting the issue resolved.

I'm going to start by getting a detailed list from the plumber of EVERYTHING that needs to be done to fix the boiler once and for all and I'm going to set my expectations very high that I'm never going to have to pay to repair that thing again. As he's working, I'm going to stand behind him and question everything he does. If he appears to slow down his work or swap tools I will immediately lose confidence in him. If he should suggest paying to replace the boiler, which I know I should have done years ago, I will get very angry and accuse him of trying to destroy my children's future by stealing my money.

I will constantly check his work against the initial list of repairs he intended to do. If for any reason the work he does changes based on what he finds after he starts I will call him a liar and accuse him of being in league with all the other plumbers I've hired in the past. I'm fairly certain most of the past plumbers I've hired weren't actually concerned with fixing that boiler. Who can blame them really, it's a hopeless job, so I'm sure they just ran up the bill a little, tweaked a couple things and left.

My wife does NOT support the idea of me trying to repair this boiler every year. I think it will actually help if she's with me while I supervise the work so that her criticism of what I'm doing can encourage my growing frustration over the plumber's inability to be finished with his work 30 minutes after he shows up. You know, even though I expected it to take all day.

Oh, yeah, I hope this plumber is not in the Local Plumber's Union (the dreaded 'LPU'). Someone once told me the LPU is a powerful organization with a secret plot to keep my boiler from working.

Get a french press, a burr grinder, and a water boiler. Buy whole beans and be happy.
