Thanks for doing the leg work for the link. Never thought to look for it. Nice!

Thanks for doing the leg work for me.

5 Power points just because.

Thank you for doing the leg work my good man.

Your Honor, I rest my case.

Thanks for doing the leg work on this one. 🦵 🦵

Thanks for doing the leg work @WmGn.

Immediately thought of this entry in "City of Dreams", a Wiki-like book of facts about Port Townsend (PT) WA:

"Centipedes"

The Port Townsend Centipedes (PTC) were a ten-man team who, on July 27,1977, thrilled some 10,000 Seattle Kingdome spectators by winning the Seafair World Championship Tug-of-War. They not only brought home the laurels but also a winner-take-all check for $10,000. The PTC's success story was an object lesson in strategy. By adding art, ratiocination, strategy, and what might best be called a strange brand of PT spirit, they essentially redefined the sport. One reporter described their tactics as a "gumbo of hatha yoga, marital arts, intense dedication, and communal discipline." They proved that tug-of-war can be a little man's sport. Their average weight was less than 150 pounds. On the evening of their victorious tug in the Kingdome against the Montgomery Loggers of Cle Elum, Washington, authoritative bystanders noted how much more muscular the opposition was and predicted an easy victory for the Centipede's opponents. But, as one of the Centipedes said, "We are one being when on the end of a rope." They chose their name as one indication of their strategy: traction. They reasoned that if they could get ten sets of arms and legs working in perfect unison, they would have an advantage over those who tugged with fewer, larger bodies. They were right.

They also practiced rhythm, which included not only coordinating their breathing, but also pacing, the use of the "standing arch," and allowing some members to rest at given times during the tug-of-war. The Centipedes developed their own mythology and terminology: their "house of pain" was a technique of prolonging the tug-of-war in order to exhaust the opposition before administering the coup de grace.

[Not noted in this article is the rules stated that the each team had a weight limit, not a number-of-people limit. The PT team chose to spread the weight over more people.]

Or perhaps they could just go with the with the wet leather leggings, works for the Eskimos.

Why don't some enterprising socialists get together and start a company based on Wolff's premises? That would go a long way toward proving his business model works.
Would people shop at a Walmart-type store where every worker was paid a "living wage" and got full medical and other benefits, but the prices were 30% higher than at the actual Wal-mart?


in regards to your first question:
they have my friend.worker owned companies are on the rise and not only have they become highly productive they have also become highly profitable without losing benefits nor living wages.

i am not going to respond to your second point because it is just a vapid regurgitation of corporatist propaganda and ignores the fact that the american corporate charter needs to be revised due to its venal and destructive nature.

i could site many examples that your analogy is retarded but i feel it more prudent to have you do your own leg-work.
dont believe the hype brother but rather look into who is feeding you that hype.

I had a mixed breed dog Sheba,at thirteen she got breast cancer.Operation a success,gradually she got less mobile,I was prepared for her passing at any time after this.My former lover offered to help in her care when she was 17,trouble walking,but the vet said if her appetite was ok,she did not need to be put down.We made a cart out of an old baby buggy,she would roll around the yard with her front legs working.Sometimes we would carry her around to let her pee.She seemed very comfortable with this arrangement till at 19 and half she passed in her sleep.I deeply value the time spent with her as any one would, should with an aging and dependent relative.

I believe these minecraft computers will evolve until they are more powerful than the cpu they are running on. I have just read that they are porting the Apache web server to minecraft currently using cube expressions. It is finally a perfectly object oriented development environment, the first to pass the Jefferson Test of true object orientation - where the objects can be physically picked up and carried around. This is a first. It is pioneering work and eventually your bionic kidneys will probably be running an embedded minecraft operating system.

How is it possible to run a virtual CPU faster than the one its running on? Surely the "real" cpu still has to do all the leg work, the whole thing has to be stored in "real" memory etc. Don't get me wrong, its still amazing to build something like that in a virtual world, but its still really just a simulation.

Unless your saying that one day you could build a minecraft computer that is faster than todays ones...then yah I could see that being possible.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimento , Pimento is a sweet chilli pepper.

That fantastically perfect little fold dictates to me that it is done with a machine, I doubt companies that produce millions of jars have people doing it by hand. I would bet this video depicts what goes on at a "mom and pop" style of shop.

Anymore leg work I can do for ya just ask.
In reply to this comment by messenger:
Problem 1: I still don't know how they get that perfectly cut and folded pimento in, nor what the hell a pimento is anyway. Waste of my 5:35.

Problem 2: This whole show is just, "There's a machine that does this, there's a machine that does that, it does xxx per minute. Humans still do this job." There's no narrative. This one about saxaphones from Sesame Street has a much better narration. It gets you interested. I still remember it from when I was a kid.

I'm not sure they even needed 5 minutes, the last 5 seconds seemed to sum up the 'conspiracy' theories quite nicely.
"Ignorance is strength."
If the real world is complicated and difficult to understand, don't take the time to understand it. Embrace that ignorance as a strength and accept a conspiracy theory that draws it's strength from ignorance.

Or ignorantly believe everything you are told even when faced with all these discrepancies in the "official story". See it can go both ways.


And yet if you bother to dig deeper the evidence is clear. The ignorant masses like the clown narrating this video just don't care to do the leg work they say we should all be doing.

Example: Ahmad Shah Massoud was a leader of Afghanistan's Northern Alliance, and he spent the year prior to the Sept. 11 attacks warning western leaders of pending Al Qaeda attack, larger than anything they'd done before. He died from an Al-Qaeda funded assassination on Sept. 10, the day before the attacks on the towers. Incidentally, he was one of the top picks for anyone wanting to unite Afghanistan around against the Taliban too.

Better example: Office fires can't get burn hot enough (1000F) to weaken steel... Oh, but studying further it turns out they actually can, even ordinary house fires exceed 1000F within 10 minutes.

Another Example: Greg Mortenson, a strong opponent of the war in Afghanistan who's basically dedicated his life to building schools for the people living in Pakistan's tribal regions. He was in Pakistan's tribal region when the attacks happened. When word reached the locals, the reaction was immediate and the conviction shocked him. It was universally agreed that it was obvious that it was the work of Islamic extremists from Afghanistan's tribal areas. Essentially to the effect of, "well I'll be, he finally went and actually did it". Their follow-up reaction is important to understand as well. The understanding that a war would follow in Afghanistan, and most importantly, apprehension at wondering which side nuclear armed Pakistan would choose in the conflict. They knew and understand their own country's loyalties better than anyone over in America, and even they weren't sure if a war came whether Pakistan would side with or against the terrorists responsible for the original attacks.

Cinema's channel definition/intro would be ultimately.. very useful if you have 30 seconds to do the leg work...

*dead

I'll just do the leg work, im bored.

I downvoted it already , its a dupe. I dont feel like finding the dupe. Kill it yourself or make someone else do the leg work
