Having Fun With Liquid Oxygen

bcglorf says...

Should also add, do not try this at home! LOX is nasty stuff to handle and there is a very fine line between burning a splint up fast and an explosion. LOX isn't only used in rocket fuel, it IS rocket fuel, so be extremely careful with it.

Anyone got the number of this 'person assistant'? Got a few jobs for her ...

Don't tell me- These jobs for her involve her doing a few jobs for you, am I right? Pervert.

Do Not Try This At Home - Cornstarch and Ellen DeGeneres

Aww. Why can't I try this at home?

I'd like to fill a swimming pool with corn starch and watch unsuspecting people try to dive in.

Converting to Linux ....Please (Howto Talk Post)

dgandhi says...

>> ^xxovercastxx:
I think you're better off just wiping Windows out. If you dislike Linux, you can reinstall Windows. The fresh install might solve a number of your problems anyway.


I am going to STRONGLY recommend against this. The ONLY reason MS OSs are easier to set up is because they do it for you at the factory. DO NOT try and install Vista from disk, it is likely to be much more work then installing Ubuntu and getting all the drivers figured out.

I have fresh installed many versions of Win and many distros of Linux, and installing Win has NEVER been easier then installing Linux, unless the hardware was simply unusable under Linux.

I would recommend both the Ubuntu liveCD, and the application conversion that xxovercastxx suggested, and I would try them all out on Vista before switching over for good. The nice thing about FLOSS is that just about everything works on whatever OS you choose, so install the apps you are going to convert to on your current OS, make sure they work for you, and if the OS is still giving you trouble, at least you won't have to learn all new apps in a mad rush when you switch OSs.

Also check here to see if anybody else had problems installing linux on your model of laptop. Pay special attention to the wifi, and make sure it works from the liveCD.

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: Second Thoughts About Fluoride (Science Talk Post)

rembar says...

This is not about fluoride, I am not talking about fluoride right now nor will I discuss that topic with you until you complete your assignment. This is about you being an awful poster, someone who has not added to the level of discussion that I regularly participate in this site for. This recent post was just the most grievous of issues, in which you completely did not indicate at all that you had simply lifted the text word for word from another site. And you did not link to this summary at all until your latest comment just minutes ago, you gave no prior indication that the article summary had not in fact been written by you. (I have screen captures of the page if you think you can say otherwise.) And even then, even though I don't accept that it was accidental, even then you added nothing to the discussion. Yet again, you copy and pasted, and brought nothing of value to the table from your own end. I will not stand for it any longer.

Qruel, you now have 1 day and 16 hours left in which to respond to my post. Do not try to change the topic to attack me again or to bring up other random fluoride websites, because I will not be distracted. I want you to respond to my challenge, or submit that you are incapable of rising to the occasion. Good day.

Make cheap rotgut vodka taste like expensive vodka

joedirt says...

Ok, I'm not so sure part of this isn't placebo. choggie, have someone blind taste test you with switched around glasses.

I'm thinking even cheap crappy vpdka went through decent industrial filtering, so I have toruble believing it does all that much. Now of course, if it is all plastic taste that ruins cheap vodka, and somehow carbon filters suck up plastic odor/taste molecules, then this would work.

Also, do NOT try this with a used filter. I'm guessing from my little Alton Brown based knowledge you will be dissolving and freeing up some previously filter nastiness.

"It's not about equal opinion, it's the internet, you're going to run into morons on both ends of the spectrum. We can't censor comments that may be insensitive to others. There is a line but noone's crossed it so far. Like I said before it's a democratic community, if enough people like what you post and you spend enough time in the queue it'll get published."

Very well, I suppose. I just really wanted to know if anyone was interested in discussing God in civil manner. By the way, I do not remeber asking for eaqual opinion. Nor do I remember asking for any kind of censorship. I do, however, remember asking that we treat each other fairly.

"And SP, like James said, don't take Westy seriously, because none of the rest of us do. I suppose that might be part of why you're running into hostility here. You have to realize Westy is our village idiot.

And to clarify what I wrote before, I actually read JD's comment wrong. What I meant was, "I suppose all the other videos that respect religion (like the ones out of Islamica) counted for nothing." Take for example, the video I linked in the last paragraph, where you'll find the comments to be very civil.

Lastly, another reason you're hitting so much resistance here is because it appears that you have an agenda on the site. You avatar has a cross in it, your video challenges logic and basically says it can't be used to disprove God, and your first SiftTalk post is about religion. I'm noticing a pattern here, and I think the some of the other sifters are, too.

There was another user such as yourself, his screenname was Marr. He was only around for a few days to debate with us over a video I posted called "The Atheist Delusion." The reason he was so received was because he provided a level headed discourse with the atheists on the site. But what you're doing sounds more like censorship, or at the very least, trying to get people to change. You'll never get a good welcoming from people if your first impression is criticism. Instead, I would encourage you to help atheists understand Christianity better, just like Marr did, but above all, do not try to change them."


Yes, well, thank you for the info.

As for your JD comment, the link you posted shows what seems to be a minority on this site, that is open and civil discussion.

As for any hidden agenda, I have none. I admit, I do hope I can tell others about Christ while I am here, but I will not be sneaky about it. As for the video I posted on logic, it simply says logic shouldn't and really can't be used to disprove or prove God. You end up with two answers to the same question.

So what if my first post dealt with God? I myself found to video to be funny. I can add other videos if you think I have no other intrests, but I will not just act like I do not believe. I tend to enjoy video games, various forms of trip-hop, and like most toher people, stupidity amuses me. Trust me, I have more videos to offer.

As for Marr, it sounds like he had a good plan. I wish to do something similar. I never asked for censorship, I just ask that we treat each other with respect if we are to discuss God in a civil manner. I am open to any and all questions. Besides, who was I critizing in my video? I showed both believers and non-believers that they cannot use logic to prove their point. As for trying to change people, I know full well it is not my place to do that.

Hmm, I think this may be a good time to state that I was a former atheist, so, yeah, I know where many of them are coming from. I had the same questions they have, and like them, I tried to find my own answers.

Request for Feedback: Collective Changes (Sift Talk Post)

One day the collectives will wage war with another... then we will see who the true heroes are. I'm looking at you, Obscure! DO NOT try to impose your facist regime on the likes of us parodiers!

Mayday Immigration Reform Demonstration

BlueGeorgeWashington says...

The Constitution and Bill Of Rights relates to the legal citizens of America. Illegal immigrants are not citizens. I'm amazed that some American citizens do not know the basics of who has what rights. This is not a 60's style civil rights movement---which was necessary and good---that was for citizens only. We are faced with an incidious invasion of illegal immigrants who for the most part do not respect our customs, language,values and government. It will be too late for us American Citizens when we wake up one morning and we see that the national language is Spanish and the largest voting block are Mexicans who received their "rights" in the most incidious manipulative ways possible. The illegal immigrants now have a sub-culture within our country and they do not try to even learn English--instead we are PUSHED into learning Spanish in our schools. What are all the Afro-Americans and other ethnic groups who are respectable citizens going to do when a Mexican style government runs this country into the ground. I'm out of this country if that happens. We need to stand up for our country before it's too late. The writings on the wall (graffiti). These illegals who boldly and defiantly wave their Mexican flags against Americans are more of a threat to America then the corporations who are ruining things in their own way.

And why do you defend and fight for the human rights of terrorists at GITMO who murder innocent people of all faiths and ethnic groups around the world? What is wrong with you? You need to re-learn what is right and wrong--GET BACK to the basics. There IS something happening here and you don't know what it is, do you, mr. Jones?

Another fun use for your Hookah!!

joedirt says...

WTF?! I recommend changing the title before some moron dies because they watched some fake crap on YouTube. Seriously, do not try this at home.

For fuks sake... I know it is called "dry ice" but it really is CO2... You don't breathe CO2 nor live off of CO2. Even if there is alcohol vapour, you will quickly die inhaling CO2 off a hookah.

I could maybe see liquid nitrogen, or one of those electronic ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, that could work. But come on. Inhaling 100% CO2 from a hose??!!
