Payback's right - It's a tidal power plant


That makes sense. I thought it couldn't be a normal dam due to the small water difference between the two sides.

>> ^cybrbeast:
Impressive, must be a drainage pipe or something. I wonder where it is.


It must be a dam they are on. That would be an overflow bypass.

Resourceful stoners...what will they think of next?


hate to tell you... but we've just peaked!

great compact consolidation of a tried and true method.

much better then making out of a sobe bottle or plastic bottles...









... so you don't cut your hand when the cheap but sharp folding knife you were using while trying to negotiate the plastic into the appropriate shape for a huge gravity bong closes on your fucking hand but your friends wife who is a nurse but is too stoned to put the bandage on right keeps ripping the cut wider while you all stand around laughing even though you have stuff to do the next day that requires that area of the hand and you may need stitches but you're in the middle of the woods and poor and you end up going with duct tape...







not that anything like that has ever happened.

edit: ah, i just realized.. they need to add that little cyclone effect, like where you put two pop bottles together with the little thing and make a little whirlpool as it drains? also add LEDs. then it's finished. haha.

Are you suggesting that we spam issykitties face all over the interwebs?!? No Krupo no...(imagine me getting sucked into a whirlpool right now, and you kinda get the gist of how my voice should sound when reading that sentence)

Not true joe, the rate of ip4 uptake is not constant, and the rate of ip4 returns isnt keeping up with it.

At some point within the next 10 years, we will run out of allocatable address space.

And dual-stack IP6 wont cut it either, cause you still need ip4 addys to run with it.

Vendors dont currently make any ip6 only compatible CPE, and the commercial grade stuff that ISP's buy still isnt anywhere near ready for full deployment. It lacks key stuff thats required to be able to fully service customers.

Its a big issue...cause when space runs out, you may be waiting 10-20 min, or even more, just to get a connection to the net.

Heres a forum posting I made on an aussie ISP website called Whirlpool, sparking up a discussion about this exact issue with several of australias leading ISP engineers. (They have "ISP representative" under their names).

A lengthy, but decent read.

- "Fourth myth: Justice Scalia is a human being."

Perhaps "Scalia" is a corruption of the Greek Scylla (Σκύλλα), the grotesque sea monster with a scaly tail and numerous sharp-toothed heads ready to mercilessly devour the souls of any who venture near it or the black whirlpool of destruction and agonizing death.

Odysseus
I rule.

Poseidon
For your sin of pride, I curse you for all eternity.

(Unfazed, Odysseus boards his ship and sets SAIL for Greece, where his family is awaiting his RETURN from Troy. A STORM happens, and it drives them off course into the MEDITERRANEAN, where they come upon a strange LAND owned by the giant Cyclops POLYPHEMUS who eats some of the men ALL UP, but then they ESCAPE. Still lost, they run into the island of the sorceress CIRCE who turns some of Odysseus' men into ANIMALS, and it takes YEARS before they escape, and then they sail by some singing SIRENS, but they can't hear because they have STUFF in their ears. Then they come upon an island where there is a field of HERBS, and they all get HIGH, until Odysseus says it's time to GO. Then Odysseus' men let a WIND out of a BAG, and some more men DIE. And they sail on to HADES to talk to some DEAD people, and some more men DIE. And they steer the ship between the six headed monster SCYLLA and the torrential whirlpool CHARYBDIS, and Scylla makes some more men DIE, and Charybdis makes the rest of them DIE. Then the ship busts up into a JILLION pieces, but Odysseus is SAVED by the nymph Calypso who confines him to her ISLAND because she thinks he's HOT, and she wants his BODY. Then years later she lets him GO, but Poseidon is determined to terrorize him FURTHER. And then SUDDENLY Odysseus has an IDEA.)

Odysseus
Poseidon, I am sorry.

Poseidon
Ok, you can go home now.

(Odysseus goes home.)



THE END



this one cracked me up

upskirt whirlpool lol

From Today's Jerusalem Post-News to meditate upon, as in, not the drama of diversion, or politics.....to hell with anyone who sees this as a platform to further the idea of gun control in America......



Joe Librescu, son of murdered Virginia Tech engineering professor Liviu Librescu, expressed overwhelming pride in his father's life, and in his death, on Tuesday.

"He's unique on multiple levels," Librescu told The Jerusalem Post by phone from the family's home outside Tel Aviv.

Professionally, "he's one of the finest researchers in his field in the world." As a father, Librescu said, Liviu Librescu "believed in excellence and was a strong figure."

# Virginia Tech shooting

"He saw himself as the ambassador of Israel to that part of the world, to an American university that had few Israelis but many representatives from the Arab world," Librescu said.

Liviu Librescu's life in Romania, which ended with the family's move to Israel in 1978, was difficult from the start. A teenager during WWII, he survived fascist Romania and life in the shadow of the Gestapo. His father was deported to a forced labor camp during the war, while Librescu spend part of the war in relative safety in Russia, Joe Librescu said.

"Afterward," he said, "he endured [communist dictator Nicolae] Ceaucescu's Romania."

As a scientist, his contacts with the outside world were blocked. When his desire to leave for Israel became known, he was forced to resign his position without knowing whether he would find other work.

"Nevertheless, and at risk to his life, he continued to publish," Librescu said. "So I wasn't surprised at what he did when [facing] the shooter [Monday]."

His life was devoted to his science, "and we were proud because we understood that he was creating something big, even if it was abstract and formulaic and hard to pronounce," Librescu said about his father's research on aircraft design and materials science.

Liviu Librescu's oft-tested personal courage, coupled with his devotion to science, made him a man unafraid "to die in the place he loved the most, the classroom," his son believes.

Now, Librescu's murder is bringing "a family that has lived far from one another, with the parents in the United States and the children in Israel, back together," Librescu said, "closing a circle over 20 years old, from when [his father] first left [Israel] for a sabbatical [in the US in 1986.]"

Prof. Librescu's wife, Marlena Librescu is preparing to fly to Israel with the body for a funeral Thursday in Ra'anana. She is receiving help from her friends and "the few Israeli families in the area," Librescu said.

She and her two sons, Joe and Arie, are the only immediate family his father had, so "she doesn't have a reason to stay there [in Virginia] anymore," Librescu said.

He is making arrangements with the burial society and the Foreign Ministry.

"We feel pride despite the tragedy and the sadness," Librescu said. "The story of his actions [during the shooting] is unbelievable. There's a whirlpool of emotions. But pride stands above everything else, pride that there will always be people, students and others, who grew up in his teaching."

In Romania, the academic community mourned Librescu's death.

"It is a great loss," said Ecaterina Andronescu, rector of the Polytechnic University in Bucharest, where Librescu graduated in 1953. "We have immense respect for the way he reacted and defended his students with his life."
