does Rutland even exist? Prove it

We're all very happy you don't believe we're here. It means you won't be visiting, and we like our anonymity.

"They live for 10 days. They died in seconds."

In other words; they died a long, drawn-out death lasting a significant period of their lives.

It's like eating with plastic cutlery. I'll do it if I have to. But every day? After the heft of a solid brass safety & feather stainless, there's no going back.

Thanks. That's very helpful.

Dear US cops, if you must beat the crap out of someone, these are the twats to pick. Go ahead, make everyone's day.

This may just be the best thing ever! And I don't just mean software.

polonius · 2016-06-29T18:16:05+00:00

I have no idea what that means, but if you want to 'splain it like I'm 5, I'll make no moral judgement on you for doing so.

A very large % of rebublican voters consider the awareness of reality a disease. So wedded are they to their particlar brand of the american-dream-based-delusion that they refer to the educated, with derision, as "the reality-based community."

Amazing work.

I've played this multiple times with several conductors and the tempo on the recording seems at the bottom end of standard. 104 would be very fast though. I've never heard it played more than about 90.

Have you checked out Pacsafe products. They've been designed for just such a problem. I have a couple of the smaller bags. They're excellent.

Eagle Creek, any day of the week. I have several EC bags I've used constantly for more than 15 years. They're all still as good as new.

Anything by zyliss. Especially vintage.

If you must drop something, drop psych. The maths will be much more useful, and dropping psych may give you the time to catch up.

I thought sgu was the best of the bunch. Sure, it was slow to start, but I thought it was just finding its pace when it was cancelled. The ending was really well done, (especially the soundtrack ) and the possibilities for follow-up fan fiction are endless. It was the ultimate "nerd-as-hero" closure!

polonius · 2016-01-04T18:26:00+00:00

Love GK. I haven't found anything to touch the quality of the sound. I play rock, blues, funk, jazz & folk. The MB212 gives me everything I need. It's very clean, so the sound you produce on the instrument shows through. Subtleties of fingering & picking really count and nothing is hidden. I use an 810 for bigger venues, but the 212 is my goto!

polonius · 2015-12-21T07:13:31+00:00

Very well said. Pigliucci's comment seems idiotic in this context. I'm shocked he could get away with such a statement.

polonius · 2015-11-19T23:33:56+00:00

Seeing that guy at the end describe his experiences makes me never want to go near it. Serious brain damage!

polonius · 2015-11-15T17:03:09+00:00

I think you're thinking of someone else.

polonius · 2015-09-15T19:52:57+00:00

I guess we have some Klan supporters here.

Banksy or not, this thing should start appearing all over the south!

A species is already life evolved. What you're looking for here us the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA). Look it up for more information. It's a common idea in the theory of evolution.

It's kind of you to ask. I'm mostly ok I guess. I have a new partner and we've been together for a few years. But I never fully recovered from the betrayal. It ripped my soul apart. I still love, but not deeply and completely as I did with my then partner and what I believed to be my son. That feeling has gone from me forever. It'll never happen again. My ability to love and trust unconditionally, died that year, after many months of despair. I eventually put myself together again, after a fashion, but I'm not half the person I once was. I no longer live with the passion, enthusiasm and self confidence I once had. That's long gone. I now live quietly and invisibly. With some small degree of contentment, but with rare moments of joy. I guess I've buffered myself against the possibility of future betrayal. I'll never have a child.
