Honey: Bacteria's Worst Enemy

newtboy says...

Nice. I've never thought of using it for wound care. That's a great idea.
I raised bees for years, and I have jars of honey on my shelf that are >6 years old. Not only have they not spoiled, they didn't even crystalize yet. If they do, I can just heat them up and they'll be good for another 6 years.

Obama Speaks at the White House Correspondents Dinner

kingmob says...

He is so great an cultured and there is a blind segment to his professionalism and expertise.

We were spoiled.

and I am glad to witness such a solid president.

Susan Sarandon Broke Up With Hillary

moonsammy says...

I'd love to see him announce Warren as VP immediately. Hell, Cruz jumped the gun on the VP call, so apparently that's no longer something that we need to wait on until after the convention.

While it wouldn't necessarily be the best possible scenario, I can't help but fantasize about a post-convention outcome of Clinton vs someone other than Trump (due to a contested republican convention), and then having both Trump and Sanders run as independents. It would keep a single third-party candidate from "spoiling" either side, and could really knock both parties down a peg.

newtboy said:

EDIT: If Bernie can really get Warren to run as his VP, he might still take the win outright. I really wish they had gotten together and hashed that out long ago, we could be working on the general election by now.
I also really wish they would both run as independents, not beholding to either party, since neither major party represents the people anymore.

Why Electronic Voting is a BAD Idea

Spacedog79 says...

I stood as a candidate in the 2015 UK General Election and have to say seeing the process from the inside was quite impressive. We got to monitor the count and have teams making our own tallies of votes as the paper ballots were being counted by looking over the counter's shoulders. We could then predict how each candidate was doing from our sample and verify that the final result fell within our predictions. In all I came away very satisfied that the final tally was indeed a true reflection of the voter's intention.

A good tip if you want to voice your frustrations at the candidates: Just write it down on your ballot paper. It will likely spoil your ballot, but everything you write will be read carefully by the returning officer and all of the candidates to see if everyone agrees it constitutes a valid vote. If you clearly voted for a candidate and didn't write anything that could be personally identifiable it may still be counted as valid anyway.

I didn't win by the way, but did pretty well.

Baby elephant causes havoc at home

Oxen_Morale says...

Right, happy for how long, happy when they are placed back in the wild and get shot for invading someone's house? OR happy when they don't know how to find food on their own and survive?

Don't you see she is not doing this for just the animals but she is really doing this for herself at the animals expense. Just like a spoiling parent.

newtboy said:

Please explain.
The priority is clearly to save injured and/or abandoned animals and make them happy and healthy. They seem to be doing a GREAT job of that, at the expense of a cheap couch. What's the 'upside down priority' or 'lack of foresight' you speak of?
Are you suggesting the cheap outdoor couch is more important than the baby elephant's happiness and well being? THAT sounds like an upside down priority to me.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Star Wars Fans Are "Prickly"

ChaosEngine says...

You really do. Iain M. Banks was an amazing writer.

Excession is probably my favourite, along with Look To Windward and Use Of Weapons.

His non-sci-fi work is fantastic too, especially The Crow Road (any book that opens with the sentence "It was the day my grandmother exploded" is instantly brilliant IMO).

He was also a wonderful speaker. Listen to this (skip to 29:32 if you haven't read Use Of Weapons, it spoils the whole plot) http://www.theguardian.com/books/audio/2012/oct/12/iain-banks-book-club-podcast?fb_ref=Default. I love his analogy of writing fiction is like playing a piano and writing SF is like a massive pipe organ.

I really need to read more of the Culture series... I don't even recall the one I read very well... I just recall being a fan of the overall idea.

1st Trailer for Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War”

moonsammy says...

If you like any of the Marvel movies, do yourself a favor and see Winter Soldier, it will answer your question in spades. Some important aspects of it have been spoiled by your having watched this trailer, but it's an *excellent* movie. I'd put it in my top 3 or 4 Marvel flicks, along with Iron Man 1, Avengers 1, and Guardians. I didn't like the first Captain America movie, but Winter Soldier is a whole different animal, vastly superior in my opinion.

Um...try reading again. I see now that the English language is apparently hard for you. Here, I'll go ahead and quote it for you...."I re-read my entire post, and not a single vulgar word IMO. One abbreviation of a vulgar word." I guess when I wrote "one abbreviation of a vulgar word" you read that as "no sign of vulgar language, even abbreviated". You might want to go back to Cambridge and take English 101.

Ahhh, I see...well then a big old F- You right back to you for all your ridiculous vulgar insulting bullshit.

You might want to learn English as it's used...and you might want to look in a mirror. I'm WRITING to someone who not only seemingly doesn't know to read or use the English language, and he's been a smarmy douche about it to boot. "Fuck you" is vulgar, "Hillary is not a convict" is not vulgar. By your definition, your entire post thread is vulgar, as it is certainly lacking sophistication or good taste, is totally unrefined, ignorant, hateful, now vitriolic, sesquipedalian in the extreme, completely devoid of fiscal responsibility or even consideration, and is lacking in all common sense. It is, indeed, the exact mindset of people in a Fox bubble. (Yeah, Fox, you know, that world wide political news giant you claim to have never heard of...talk about ignorance...holy crap, that's not just ignorant, it's ignant. Look that one up.)

So you know what people mean when they say -Vulgar : Making explicit and offensive reference to sex or bodily functions; coarse and rude:

Perhaps you forgot that you clearly wrote that what you specifically meant by 'vulgar' was "cursing", not "Lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined"...obviously you didn't read your own post, or thought I didn't have the capability to remember. So sad for you. Again, just like Fox bubble people, when your argument is torn to shreds, you just change what you claim your argument was and move on to make more unsophisticated argument.

I'm pretty sure you've broken or burnt out your bulb there, buddy. You WERE amusing until you were contradicted and you got angry and decided to move from being just smarmy on to silly, infantile, completely wrong ad hom attacks against someone you don't know rather than discussion. It's totally not above me to aggravate someone of such a '6 year old spoiled little girl' disposition, but it's not something I intend to spend much time on.

I think you better quit the internet, you're totally doing it wrong.

You've just lost a 'friend' here, one that's helped you repeatedly here already. You can go stamp your feet and scream at the walls in your room now. Expect no further help from me in navigating the site...and expect to be banned if you continue the ad hom attacks against me.

I must admit a certain amount of general amusement in speaking with you, I do love a good solid rant. It brings a unique air of difference into my otherwise droll existence.

You examined your post and found no sign of vulgar language, even abbreviated?


Definition of vulgar in English(Taken from the English Oxford Dictionary)
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/vulgar

adjective
1Lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined:

I am speaking to someone who doesn't even know the language he is speaking, you see my amusement?

I cant help it if your general ignorance seeps into every pore of your conscious existence, and I must admit it should be above me(or anyone, for that matter), to aggravate someone of such an argy-bargy disposition. However, maybe someday the light-bulb will turn on inside your head, and you might finally see past the world you've been spoon-fed since birth.

Good day:)

Stopped it at 0:40 and upvoted. I know it's against the rules to upvote a sift you haven't seen, but I don't want to spoil it - gotta see the entire film instead. And hey - *promote.
