It was there a bit closer to two years. Kazaa and edonkey kicked off after Napster got in trouble.

Too short. Epic poems need to be more than 5 lines.

You bet! I’ve known this bad boy for about 30 years.

Lol. 1995 was most definitely when I leaned this, and holy shit, I was in 7th grade. Like, spot on. I did change a few of the words, though.

Yeah. Lots of places may just use the Amazon warehouse side of the business. Especially if they offer products on Amazon.

It wasn’t eugenics. It was just that dumb or uneducated people and poorer people have more kids. Those kids are also more likely to be poorly educated and also have more kids, while educated and more intelligent people tend to have fewer children and have children starting at a later point in life.

There’s no Hitler eugenics here. Poor people live in poor areas with a poorer education system, which leads to more people with low educations.

Hitler thought Germans were simply better than anyone else at everything.

Fuck em. They can wait.

“The only way I will send this back is if it isn’t spicy enough. Tell the chef he has a weak little Denmark pallette who thinks a bell pepper will burn his lips off.”

Fuck that. He only did one type of science.

I nominate Mr.Wizard!

Lol. The most famous straight male porn star to ever live. Ron Jeremy. His dong is legendary.

Fun fact: He was a background extra in the original Ghostbusters movie, but went unnoticed for a couple decades until the wide-screen release came out on DVD. He was cropped out on the vhs/square tv’s of the 80’s and 90’s, so no one knew he was there.

It has become Meatwad!

This shit is like me. If I’m going to a Thai place I’m not a regular at, it’s pretty much impossible for them to serve some white guy the hot stuff. Even actual “Southern Thai hot” isn’t hot enough for my screwed up tastes to catch a real heat buzz, so normally what I get served seems heatless to me.

What usually gets the point home is telling the waitress its good tasting, but bland, and asking if I could have some birds eye pepper to put extra on it. For all the talk about how hot Thai food is, all they actually use are birds eye peppers (fresh, or dried and ground), which are around as hot as a Serrano pepper, or about half to a third as hot as a habanero. So for someone who can just eat a habanero, them going weak on the birds eye means I’m really not getting the kick I crave. Asking specifically for the hottest thing they put in their food (just me knowing what peppers they are) usually takes care of it.

This is why Robert Downey Jr is a better actor.

The price hike in Canada’s instance, wouldn’t violate US law.

They aren’t advertising a “sale”. You just aren’t paying taxes on what you buy, and it isn’t wal mart doing it, it’s the government. Wal mart is just choosing to screw over the buyers and the government all in one go.

This is part of why I’m a pro gun leftist.

If I sell a million dollars of stock and pay $400k in taxes, I have $600k. If I give away $1,000,000 in unrealized gains I get either nothing, or I can do a tax write off and maybe save like $200k in taxes. Either way I’ll have less than the $600k I would have had. At best it’s a workaround to give several other people working for the “charity” money, but at that point why not just put those people on my own payroll and give them the $600k?

Lol. You’re just too confused. I was comparing them, because a 28,000 baud modem happens to have a max transfer rate of 3.6 KB. I can’t help it that you don’t know what you’re taking about.

It’s how fast a signal is capable of changing state per second.

It’s a switching speed. Not a transfer rate.

Then they didn’t actually give the money away, and they still aren’t saving or making more money themselves by doing that.

Those cups look to each have about 20 ounces in them, so about 100 oz total.

However, I just went to double check and I’m getting conflicting results on the amount to ld50, now. It may be as low as 14 ounces for an adult.
