Breaking the Barrier

Not your typical gender reveal

Honest Government Ad | We're Fucked

newtboy says...

Sure.
For newts, it's everything.
Leaf litter, twigs and branches, and downed trees are all imperative for a healthy forest....as is periodic fire in most cases. They are habitat for most forest animals.
They also moderate soil humidity, keeping it from drying out to dust, and return nutrients to the soil for plants to utilize.

Few forests could survive being raked clean, none would remain healthy.

BSR said:

Thank you newt. Can you dwell a little on the importance of the ecosystem of the forest floor also?

1988: Is this James Brown's strangest interview ever?

lurgee says...

One of PWEI's best jams!

Augusta, Georgia, late September,
One Mr. Brown's hot tempeed,
This man's possessed, he's restless,
Armed and dangerous, drugged and reckless.
Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely son
But he's on the run on a shotgun mission
"Listen here cocksuckers, motherfuckers, pay respect to my building.
It's JB property and it could be the one you get killed in."
Cops arrive, "What's this, what's happening,
What's what, where's the hot shot?"
James pressed his luck too far this time,
His pick-up truck's flat out and flying.
Cops get excited and grin with glee;
They got themsevles a celebrity!
7 cars give chase "You're in the clear, this is the race of the year!"
"Faster Soul Master, they're coming at you from all directions,
Speed's your protection...Don't look behind you 'til south Carolina"
Cops spring a roadblock "He ain't gonna stop!"
"He's gonna take a pop!"
Someone opens fire, the trucks front tyres are blown out
"Get the hell out!"
As six mile skid, trapped in a ditch,
In the lap of the FBI, the Secret Service,
The Russians, "they're all in this, they're doing it to James
Like they did it to Elvis"
A "good-foot" dance in a dusted trance
Breath tested "No Chance!" Arrested!

I think your love for cynicism is taking years off your life. Now these two cops have made you angrier than you were before. In fact, I think you let them waste your time.

Your "hope" is only dust. You are more powerful than this. I know you know that. I've seen it. As far as your love of cynicism, it doesn't serve you. You're braver than this.

I could have just let this go, but I admire your talent. Something I lack.

Warrant? They can't search you and your property because they got an anonymous call, that is NOT probable cause in any state.
I'm pretty sure this is a civil rights violation, and this draconian stupidity is why people don't, and shouldn't respect police. I hope he lives long enough to end a few careers and take away a few million from the police pension fund, these two cops aren't protecting or serving.

My 4,566,300,000 Year Old Ring

newtboy says...

Even limestone? Fossils? ;-)

Also, I think you're conflating the particles age with the stone's age. There are almost zero stones that old on earth, most has been dissolved and reconstituted a few times over by now, with new (and new old) dust added constantly from space.

I think the value was in the insane impossible to recreate pattern, something the universe manufactured on it's own timeframe for it's own reasons.

Sagemind said:

Any ring made from stone taken from the earth can be labeled at 4.543 billion years old....

Just saying...
Humans like to manufacture value for the sake of it.

Pali Highway in Hawaii covered by landslide

newtboy says...

WTF, panzies. Covered by landslide?! That's barely soiled by a bit of mud. Come to Humboldt, we'll show you landslides, the kind where 1/4 mile of road is gone, along with the entire mountain it was built on. This wouldn't even warrant a road crew, somebody would shovel that dust pile off the road within an hour up here.
