Super cool. Can a robot look *happy? This one does. I want one.

Super cool information. Thanks lucky!

Secretly deep down, I've always wanted to be a monk but like a super cool one, after years of disciplined training I come back to the modern world, where a decisive martial arts tournament reunites two nations on the brink of war!

My little sister used to serve her at a restaurant in L.A. all the time. She was a total c*nt, insisting on whispering her order to her boyfriend (Brian Austin Green of 90210 and Terminator TV Show) who would then translate to the waitstaff. He was super cool. Clubthumb? Not so much.

It's a great replacement for reflectors and adds "super cool factor" to your ride!

Today I was in my philosophy of religion class. My professor began to talk about religious figures trying to separate animals such as chimps and Bonobos from humans. He said that every reason they have given has crumbled in their hands (he mentioned things like emotion, use of tools, problem solving) He brought up Pope John’s claim that humans are different from Chimps because God gave us souls. Since there is no proof of a “soul” per say, he asked the class of other differences. I put up my hand and said “many people use the defense that Chimps do not have self awareness and humans do.” To this he mentioned a study which as conducted on Chimps. What they did was they put a blue mark on a Chimps forehead. Then they put him in front of a mirror, and the Chimp stared…and raised his finger to his forehead touching the mark. He knew that that was him in the mirror, he was aware of his body. They did this to monkeys and other animals like dogs and cats, and they just thought the mirror was another animal. I found this super cool and interesting as evidence that Chimps are self aware of their existence in the sense that they know who they are when they see themselves, they know their body (unlike other animals mentioned above) now in the sense of questioning their existence, that’s probably a level only humans have achieved thus far.

aw for a second there i thought he had the super cool native name of "Bishop Dancing Windstyle"

Fucking bartenders are stupid. Wait, that wasn't controversial, that was just mean and belligerent. Let me try again. Bartenders are super cool and deserve no less than 20% tip, and their choices in channels rock. That wasn't controversial either.

I don't think I get the concept of this channel. Fucking blankfists are stupid.

done

>> ^Lucidium:
Charliem: You can turn off electro magnets. And even then certain types will remain magnetic. You can't turn off a magnet.


Simply not true.
The only electo-magnets that "retain" their fields after being switched off, are super-conductive rare-earth elements that have been super-cooled to very low kelvin temperatures.

When the material is bought back up past its super-conductive threshold, it loses its magnetic field.

Every electro magnet that can be switched off, loses its magnetic properties.

MRI's rarely use permanent magnets, as the resolution of a perm magnet is so low, and the materials required to produce a field strong enough for a clear picture, are immensely expensive, and heavy.

Theres a pretty decent chance this is an EM MRI, all they needed to do was let the thing warm up a bit after using it (generally by turning the cooling pumps off).

That's super cool. I've seen that bike downtown in Vancouver. I had no idea that was his gig. Cool.

Things are super cool, actually...just so freakin busy with teaching my son (I threw in three extra subjects and it's not even phasing him...sheesh!), my daughter's social life, and then brushing up on the calculus (that I had banned from my memory) to help my teenager w/ her physics and trig...looks like I am temporarily in super-intellectual mode...doesn't leave much time for messenger conversations, but I should be back available sooooooon...how do I know? My brain can't keep this up forever, I'm sure.
...and I know, the Burn One Down vid is awesome, I had to resist a revenge downvote to the violator

Hey lady! How's tricks with you? Can you believe you promoted the Ben Harper vid and its's been voted down! And not by ant Haha, weirdness. Hope things are cool

Here's the deal - and before I tell you, let it be known that I think you are a super cool dude, one of my favorite people on the sift and well intentioned with your libertarian philosophy - but the push for 'school choice' and vouchers is uninformed hysteria.

-There isn't any meaningful research or evidence to suggest that vouchers are even a vaguely good idea.
-There are no countries of note that use vouchers.
-There are practical suggestions for how this could or would be done.
-There is no need for deregulated schools in the first place.
(let the frantic googling commence)

Support for vouchers comes from the unlikely triumvirate of creationists, libertarians - who will sign on to anything that's vaguely anti-government - and opportunist businessmen (God, Fear and Money with all due respect to MeShell Ndegeocello). Do you believe in this? Well, then justify it. Slogans and Orwell quotes don't aren't enough. Just like proponents of 'intelligent design', the voucher folks have no science to support their hypothesis. Just empty sanctimonious slogans.

It's trendy to bash public schools, but think of the shear volume of students that are educated every year. (over 76 million) A large majority do well, pass their classes and go on to live decent lives. Unlike private schools, public schools accept everyone, including poor students, handicapped students, non-english speaking students,mentally challenged students, emotionally disturbed students, etc.

Libertarians look at private schools and wonder why public schools can't be the same. Here's why:
1) Private schools generally limit their attendance to smarter, well behaved students.
2) Private schools can flush students they don't like out of the system.
3) Pay to play (parents who spend money on private school are going to be damned sure their money isn't wasted).
4) Wealth. Wealthy kids get private tutoring sessions while poor kids flip burgers.

Expert in business that you are, have you begun to think of the implications of subjecting education to the dark side of business? What do students do when their school goes out of business mid year, or declares bankruptcy, or has to fire the custodial staff in order to stay afloat. School systems need to be stable and reliable. To think that some rag tag band of plucky entrepreneurs could even begin to tackle this system better than people who have been doing it for decades is beyond naive.

Here is how we fix education:

-Cancel all the expensive gimmicky shit and let the teachers teach.
-Teacher assessment, not school assessment. Weed out the bad ones, but don't punish the ENTIRE SCHOOL.
-Free up teachers to teach how they like. Allow them to pick their own texts and change up their approach according to student needs.
-Disband the textbook commission. (read Lies My Teacher Taught Me for more on this one)
-Competitive pay for teachers, you get what you pay for.
-Build enough schools. Have enough materials, don't skimp on students.
-The Option of skill/trade programs for any student who desires it.
-Limit the higher grades to students who meet a certain grade/dedication threshold (controversial, yes, but it is done in many parts of Europe).
-Less testing, more learning.
-Reading, reading, reading. Along with the classics, include fun books like Harry Potter, Goosebumps, etc. Developing a love for reading is IMPORTANT.


There is no need to reinvent the wheel, we just need to build on what we already have. We need more ideas and more than just lip service from our politicians about education.

Why the fuck did I spend all this time arguing against a fringe concept that will never even come close to getting off the ground you ask?

Well, I've never argued this position in any depth before and had to finally let it all out. Arguing with you, blankfist, is fun. You are a smart, funny, passionate guy and no one in town gives a better rim job.

Considering how long this is, I know that blankfist, Netrunner and kronos are the only people still reading. Thanks guys.
