Put the light bulb on the outside. (or top or bottom) Problem solved.

Seriously. A lawn aerator? That's the video I don't want to see, somebody aerating an acre of lawn with that thing. It's actually as said in the video a tool in use relatively unchanged since Roman times, used to poke holes in the soil for the purpose of planting seeds, seedlings or bulbs. I've used a long handled version for tree planting.

though not quite as bad as this woman. I know a woman who is just like this. late 40s or early 50s, body of a 20 year old, but skin of a 80 year old because she tans so obsessively.

Is this one of those things where ultimately it will be blamed on men because of the "my man likes me like this" mentality?

Unless the man is tying you down and forcibly putting you under those bulbs, it's all on you honey.

BC Canada had these photo-radar cars several years ago but finally got rid of them

First of all, they can't prove who is driving the car.
Second, a dirty license plate, get's you pass.
Three, a halogen license plate bulb leaves an over exposed photo of the license so those are also void.

As well, it's just a money grabbing mechanism and didn't ever stop the fast drivers from speeding. By the time you even know the camera-vehicle is there, you've already had your photo taken, then you are off and speeding again. no one stops you. they just collect the fines.

Then you had highways getting clogged. Every time a car was on the side of the road, every one slows down - just in case - then speeds up again after they pass the vehicle.

It got so that, when traveling or driving on the highways, you just drove as fast as you wanted while keeping your eye out for cars parked on the side of the road. Then once you pass the car, you know you are free to speed.

I walk along strapped to four giant poles in order to prevent me from falling into anything. They're annoying after a while but give them a nap midday and they're happy.


Thus answering the question "How many poles does it take to walk down a sidewalk?"
Now if I could just get this light bulb fixed ...

I don't think you quite understand the mechanics of conception... Just because there's semen in a woman doesn't mean she's conceived. Emergency contraceptives are no different than birth control. They prevent conception from happening.

It also does not mean conception or the beginnings of it has not begun. I searched for a bit, and I'll admit that I couldn't find much information on it because anything mentioning abortion has like a bazillion articles. But I did find one where high levels of estrogen can cause miscarriages, but no supporting articles since it's not really that important to me. Abortion is up to the individuals involved in said pregnancy.

My point I was making is that Ron Paul states that there is no medical/legal/chemical evidence of conception at that point, so he is saying that it has not taken place because of this. And is justifying estrogen injections as a preventative. I am saying that if you are going to be a staunch "conception is life" advocate, you should not be doing things that may end early stage conceptions...which high doses of estrogen probably would.

It's like saying lack of light coming from a single bulb proves that there is no electricity on in the house, instead of your testing method being inadequate. If conception is life and something you are administering as a preventative can end conceptions, you are risking ending conceptions. And this is why it is chicken shit justifications to me, if you want to make a 100% statement like "Conception is life" then risking terminating early conceptions that can't be legally/medically/chemically proven at that stage is making your argument lip service.

Personally I think abortion with upper limits are fine, 4 maybe 5 months. Certainly not 7, since babies are born prematurely and survive at that point. And I have no problem with him using estrogen to end early conceptions. I do have a problem with someone making a statement and then arguing that he can go ahead and do it anyway because there's no proof it's actually ending a conception.

And I return back to my murder argument that I think is a good example of the argument he's trying to make here.

I never took the person's pulse before I stabbed them, so you can't prove they were alive. So it's not murder.

Maybe alter the wording to say "I couldn't find the person's pulse before I stabbed them......"

"Their plane was shot down and the two men were captured by hostile forces. Denton and Tschudy were both held as prisoners of war for almost eight years, four of which were spent in solitary confinement...

"Denton was part of a group of about 11 prisoners known as the "Alcatraz Gang"... which was separated from other captives and placed in solitary confinement for their leadership in resisting their captors. "Alcatraz" was a special facility in a courtyard behind the North Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense, located about one mile away from Hoa Lo Prison.

"In Alcatraz, each of the 11 men were kept in solitary confinement, where cells measured 3 feet by 9 feet and had a light bulb kept on around the clock; the prisoners were locked each night in irons by a guard."

Many printers now have the obsolescence blatantly built in to the ink cartridges.
To stop recycling and reuse, the cartridge is programmed to short circuit and fuse it's control chip if it passes a level approaching empty.
Other manufacturers do it at the driver level, when the cartridge is empty it sets a value to lock the printer unless a new branded cartridge is used.
DRM for digital media has a logical argument at least. But why is there not a class action law suit against this deliberate sabotage of a product after purchase?

With even colour laser printers (decent ones too) in the range of sub-$200 why would ANYONE buy an ink printer anyway? Laser toner doesn't dry out. As a matter of fact, the drier it is, the better.


Because they want to print photos. And because doing so with a laser printer requires specialist laser photo paper rather than the easily available inkjet photo paper.

I'm not trying to defend the ridiculous $30 for a printer, $90 for the ink crap that the inkjet printers have going, just saying why people would. I hate blanket statements like yours.

And Laser toner Cartridges are also easily refillable several times with sometimes just minor parts some times needing cleaning or replacing. In yet most people send perfectly good cartridges to the dump... because the company who wants to sell you the next one tells you to?>> ^Payback:

No waste left behind, except when there is -- consider the eons old refuse we're currently burning as fossil fuel. The reason so little seems to be wasted in the natural world is that something has evolved to use almost all of the available waste streams.

The video conflates two different ideas: the design life for a manufactured product, and consideration of how to handle that product at the end of its life. It's hard to imagine an iphone so perfect that it wouldn't be irresponsible not to plan for its demise at the time of manufacture.>> ^mxxcon:

Perhaps it's worth reflecting on the apparent fact that we ourselves seem to be programmed to fail after, roughly, grandparenthood. Seems to have worked fairly well for our species, as well as many others.
except when you fail, where's no waste left behind. If you can make my iphone fail the same way, I think you'd be a very rich man.
