Me: May I have twelve nuggets please?
McGirl: Sorry, we only serve them in sixes or nines.
Me: *sigh*…May I have two serves of six nuggets please?
McGirl: Certainly.

This sucks. I am guessing that the reason you haven’t called the RSPCA is because she is your landlord and you don’t want you or your family to suffer.

If that is the case, you are helpless. Perhaps you could have someone else call or see if it can be done anonymously? Option 2 is to make the call and hope she won’t retaliate but it sounds…[Read more]

The alternative here is to accept government intervention in what we do with our own possessions.

These things are not “our” land. The land belongs to someone and that someone has the right to sell it to whomever they like. You have no say in this matter because it is not your land. It is not mine. It is theirs. So we have no say in the…[Read more]

They said the same thing about Japan in the 1980’s and my people have yet to conquer Australia. After that it was China. Last I checked, we are not yet Chinese. Now those evil Arabs are out to steal Australia?

I came across this by chance.

Say what you like about the growth inhibitors, you can’t deny they are effective. :ohmy:

Has anyone found any evidence that the pink slime is being used in Australia? I have yet to find anything of the sort. Even in the US, the fast food giants have stopped using it and McDonalds Australia never did. As far as I can tell, this issue is confined to US school lunches. Can anyone else find something about this showing we do/do not…[Read more]

I was lurking reddit and I came across this website.

I thought some of you would be interested, especially on this thread. Pick a location and a weapon size then hit detonate and it will show you the effects of a nuclear strike. It’s cool and scary at the same time.

Two feet of bananas! Now I just need to find a way to store them. :shrug:

Doubled post.

It won’t be visible everywhere. Total eclipse can be seen only in certain areas on the planet. There will be partial eclipse in other areas and the rest of the world won’t notice.

Basically, you need to be under the shadow to see the eclipse.

Better pics

Don’t forget Dr. Joseph Zawodny of NASA (the video in my second post of this thread), regarding LENR, states “It has the demonstrated ability to produce excess amounts of energy, cleanly, without hazardous ionising radiation, without producing nasty waste”.

Also, if what Silent indicates is true regarding “radiation emission involved” there will have been a room full of irradiated people. :sick: :laugh:

Exactly right Bullseye. This is why we consider it no better than any other cold fusion claim. I am glad you understood my point.

In any case, our opinions are…[Read more]

Given the radiation emission involved, the only way a fusion (or cold fusion) reactor could work is by siting it a long way away from population centres. Big is the only way to go here.

Given that Rossi is supposed to be in good health right now, I would guess that this cold fusion claim is no more real than any of the others.

I can find nothing to indicate that the device has been independently tested so all we have is someone claiming to have created a cold fusion process. People claim all sorts of things. We are not…[Read more]

There is this.

It seems kinda obvious in hindsight but they have only just gotten around to making a panel with a plug in it.

O negative is the “universal donor” but this just means there is a reduced risk of a reaction to the blood.

Oh yes, I had a similar experience when I tried to go healthy (by which I mean less unhealthy). I decided I would eat three meals a day, one of which would involve an apple or some other fruit. After a few [strike]days[/strike] hours of this diet, I discovered that apples are not food.
