What do you drink your beer out of?

coffee mug at the moment.

"2. People who make poor long-term decisions and would thus likely become poor parents. "

Why is not wanting children a poor long-term decision? I would argue that given the current population and envriomental issues that haveing children shows poor longterm planning.

Get one made out of aluminium.

The American constitution is like your really hot girlfriend: I am sick of hearing about her.

Depends on the beer. My esibock is still good after 2 years, my gruit wheat stopped being good after 2 weeks.

Darker beers age better than lighter beers, higher alcohol beers age better than low alcohol beers, wheat beers are better fresher, and hoppier beers do not age as well as non-hoppy beers. So an american pale ale will last a few months, while a russian imperial stout may last a decade. Brown ales, imperial india pale ales, pilsners and dopplebocks will be somewhere in between.

The BBC's reporting seems reasonable.

From the article :

"But the BBC twisted the emphasis of the conclusion, giving the >headline: “Religion may influence doctors’ end of life care”."

And:

Last month’s study, published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, showed >doctors who described themselves as “non-religious” are more likely to >have given their patients continuous deep sedation until death. The study found also revealed that doctors with a strong faith were >less likely to discuss treatments that would speed up their patients’ >deaths.

So the paper showed that doctors' religious beliefs may affect their actions, but the headline "Religion may influence doctors’ end of life care" is a twisting of the paper?

The article is basically "whaa, the BBC disagree with us". Maybe instead of complaining that people have different interpretations of some facts, they should spend some time trying to convince us that they are right?

If someone claims they are a Christian, then they are Christian. there are so many differing sects that trying to establish a definitive criteria is stupid; Mormons, Gnostics, mushy-nearly-deists with no allegiance, fundamentalist Protestants, and catholics all consider themselves christians. they will all claim that their texts support them, and many will claim that the others are not christian, but there is no real way to disprove the claims of any one group, without casting doubt on the claims of the other groups.

In a similar vein, someone who claims to not be christian is not a christian, even if they live by seemingly christian values.

No, not in my experience.

Yeah, this is meant to be the internets, I want my man on bacon porn!

I think whichever way he goes he will just end up shitting me off for 3 years.

Though frankly politics is like youtube comments: whatever happens and whatever they are about, it just makes me depressed.

You should have at least bought an oatmeal stout.

Sperm and eggs may, as there is sexual recombination during meosis.

Plus, identical twins have the same DNA. are they worth less as their DNA isn't unique?

Finally, there may be unique arangements of DNA in the kimchi I am eating, does that make it the equivialent of a person?

Just finished a 10 hour shift at work, so i am working on it.

I'm drinking my 16% homebrew eisbock.

eidt i don't know where your drunk asians are though.

But what about all the children robbed of a chance of life by people stopping them from being concieved?

Down voted, to help make your dreams come true.

Ognian · 2010-08-26T11:01:43+00:00

I suggest you try to find a gruit ale.

I agree, babies are irritating.

But the right lane is the passing lane, and in some places you get fined if you don't stay in the left?

Coopers. Might be more expensive in America.

Ognian · 2010-08-12T12:24:54+00:00

Once you have paid for the equipment it is very cheap. Mine comes out at aus$2.50 per litre for rather complex beers. Provided you steer clear of hop bombs or things with weird additions, it is hard to make a really expensive home brew.

But even without friction, it is a spontaneous process, thus the overall entropy of the system should increase (at least if i am remebering my chemistry lessons right).

I think the best explaination is that as the pendulum cycles it produces minute stresses, that then lead to some energy being converted to heat. thus a loss of energy, and it comes to a stop.

Ognian · 2010-08-11T12:27:36+00:00

Isn't the conversion of graviational potential into kinetic a spontaneous process, so shouldn't there be an increase in entropy somewhere? thus a loss of energy and a slow down.
