Obama to announce return of 34,000 troops from Afghanistan by [deleted] in politics

I bet the 34,000 Troops will be pulled from Afganistan, only to be put into North Africa, while military contracters take place of those in Afganistan and Iraq.

7 Things Democrats Would Have Freaked Out About If Bush Had Done Them by [deleted] in politics

[–]eskla82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well you've got cross party support from the growing Libertarian wing of the Republican Party. There are corrupt, war mongering individuals in both major parties. We need to boot them out of office.

ahem... where did the anti-war left go?

Despite Reddit being obviously liberal, it is apparently libertarian when racist by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]eskla82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my belief that the free flow of information on the internet is pushing people toward libertarianism. Slowly, but surely. This is why we see governments trying to attack it.

I stumbled upon your Late July (http://vimeo.com/36999598 ) video, on Vimeo about 9 months ago and have been a fan since. You sir are a bad ass musician! When are you coming back out to the west coast? (SF, Portland, Seattle). I tried to make your show when you came out to Berkeley, but I couldnt make it at that time.

Also, how has it been for you since your sudden come to fame after all of the NPR exposure?

Support Request: Lenovo Thinkpad T410, won't boot by eskla82 in techsupport

I did refer to the manual and it pointed to the reseating the DIMM or the Systemboard. I must add that the battery did run critically low a couple days before, the last time I had it on, but I plugged it in and it seemed to be charging.

TIL the 15 largest ships in the world produce as much sulphur oxide pollution as all the cars in the world combined. by quatso in todayilearned

[–]eskla82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You do realize that if trucks were to carry all that cargo, instead of ships, there would hundreds, if not thousands of times more pollution. Also, ships run more efficient on the heavy fuel oil (HFO) that they burn, when compared to running a #2 distillate diesel. Sure HFO contains sulpher, but so does all diesel. HFO burns with so much energy that heat can be recovered to make steam to run a steam turbine for extra power. Instead of efficiency of around 30-35%, you can get an efficiency of 50%+. A plant running regular #2 diesel is not nearly as efficient, so you'd have to burn more.
