Don't get your panties wadded up, it's only Jay. Don't worry I won't post a picture of my sheepskin if provoked

You had a choice to stay overnight and be flown back or ride the bus. As for an engine fire, it happens more than you think with a flame out. Hence why planes have ETOPS rating for double engine planes. Most commercial passengerjets have enough power in one engine to get them to nearlt all airports and land safely. The biggest problem with an engine fire or flameout on takeoff is actually waiting to reland as ATC diverts traffic and requests you dump fuel.

They had a sister ship supply the stranded cruise ship. As for why rescuing people, its dangerous enough for US warships such as the Nimitz class aircraft carrier to get resupplied by a fuel and food ship, with able boded men and women, let alone mostly "older" and children. The ship is also atleast 6 stories above the waterline. It would be easier to deploy the life rafts, inflatable or non.

Dtel send the hard drive to me and I will send it back most likely fixed.

You do realize we live in the 21st century..... Where no one uses parallel ATA anymore (I had to look the name up to be sure), serial ata yes heck we are up to 6gbps. Your point being? And how is this helpful to the discussion? Basically you are akin to saying I can help someone's carburetor when in fact they have a fuel injector system. Does that help? No modern computer past 2003 uses parallel ata. Its was quite odd to see"I just told him I'd slave his HDD if he wanted me too to get rid of it." Long Story Short, your comment wasn't helpful to begin with. BTW no one uses jumpers either I successfully use the correct tools for the job at hand, in this case it was one similar to this one but with a wider variety of connections with no jumpers needed. I've use it before with no problems at all. Besides, it was a laptop. Of all the posts I've ever read of yours, none of them have been helpful much less on target so it would be best for you not to insert all the unfounded condescension. the pot calling the kettle black. BTW you don't read too much.[] Do you even lift bro! [:@]

I didn't want to strawman into government talk, I just really wanted to debate cfl versus leds. I am actually going to do a full house switch when 100 watt equivalent >1600 lumen leds become around 14 dollars or so or when the price ratio becomes good enough to switch over versus cfls in the overhead lights of the house.

State where I am wrong. Not taking the bait, for a variety of reasons. Post on............ The problem here is that I said social contract in the theory form that founded the constitution and people assume I am this liberal. Read Hobbes' Leviathan its as close to socialism as facism is. Social Contract does not mean socialism. Yet no one has proven me or even tried to debate me on the merits of CFL versus LED's

Gosh, this video is over two years old now. more from the cobra snake pit, this guy Bltch slaps a cobra

Amy will ban this thread but its funny that the "liberal" states provide the federal government with more money than "red" states. As for buying steaks with EBT did you hear that on Fox news or did you ever see the requirements of EBT? Lastly, why even have a government if you believe that you can do it all yourself?

I got around 15 inches where I live, surprisingly my greenworks electric snow blower did fine I wouldn't say it was fast but for 169 dollars at Amazon free shipping no tax it did fine Also this was how I went up my driveway during the snow storm, I shoveled 10 minutes prior to going up.

I just can't bring myself to pay $17.00 for a 50 watt (equivilant) bulb no matter how much I like LED's. $44.00 for a flood light bulb! They need to be around $5.00 a pop before I'll start switching over. Yet agaiin another person who claims sheeple yet has no actual argument other than someone told me CFL's are terrible. As for CECAA850, you are correct I believe the actual switch over price though not 5 dollars is when LED's are about 12 dollars for an equivalent 60 watt and 16 dollars for a 100 watt replacement.

You'll have to show me this part of the Constitution, I must have missed it. No worries man, its over your head because you never understood the social contract theory. You know things during the age of enlightenment from people you no doubt never heard of (like Rosseau, Hobbes, Locke, etc) with blanketed statements you make like "It wasn't in the constitution" Also you know No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges ... of citizens ... nor ... deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny ... the equal protection of the laws. Standards of life = life (pretty sure our founding fathers would not approve of the US government if the US government's standard of life was still 1783 when its 2013. property = infrastructure (how do you maintain and grow your property? through infrastructure) Also nice intentional strawman, you couldn't argue any of your points about LED's versus CFL's so you had to attack the user.

From wikipedia The luminous efficacy of lamps is the number of lumens produced for each watt of electrical power used. The luminous efficacy of a typical CFL is 50–70 lumens per watt (lm/W) and that of a typical incandescent lamp is 10–17 lm/W.[21]Compared to a theoretical 100%-efficient lamp (680 lm/W), these lamps have lighting efficiency ranges of 7–10%[22] for CFLs and 1.5–2.5%[23] for incandescents.[24] Because of their higher efficacy, CFLs use between one-seventh[25] and one-third[26] of the power of equivalent incandescent lamps.[21]Fifty to seventy percent of the world's total lighting market sales were incandescent in 2010.[27] Replacing all inefficient lighting with CFLs would save 409 terawatt hours (TWh) per year, 2.5% of the world's electricity consumption. In the US, it is estimated that replacing all the incandescents would save 80 TWh yearly.[28] Since CFLs use much less energy than incandescent lamps (ILs), a phase-out of ILs would result in less carbon dioxide (CO2) being emitted into the atmosphere. Exchanging ILs for efficient CFLs on a global scale would achieve annual CO2 reductions of 230 Mt (million tons), more than the combined yearly CO2 emissions of the Netherlands and Portugal

So much wrong here. First the mercury levels are low, lower than if you ate seafood 5 times a week. Second less efficent, sorry no, the same lumen to lumen > 600 LED's become the same efficiency. Just do a comparison of a ~75 watt or 800 lumen CFL and LED they are about the same at 18 watts. LED's also all come from China and use Chinese Rare Earth Metals.

That's some of the potential cons for sure. If it is indeed glass, it should clean up just fine, right? I just can't see something like that surviving public use and abuse, like a street map downtown. It's effort enough these days to 'unplug' from everything, without a screen in every mirror and appliance. Already in use http://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2011-09/hands-mtas-go-mobile-station-47-inch-travellers-touchscreen And second even iphones and ipads have hydrophobic screen that makes oils stay on the surface wipe off easy. And take a look at gorilla glass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glass

If I recall correctly the problem the glass that tints is that it needs electricity to stay clear which means most of the time people just leave them tinted. Also it uses a lot of electricity to stay clear.

Tempered glass is amazingly strong, and the small devices like the iphone and android devices use a thing called gorilla glass made by corning over 50 years ago. Also NYC started to use these at newer bus stops. A all glass construction.

I forgot about it being beached, we were lucky to get it unstuck. I remember it being a pain. I don't remember if it hailed or not, we were sitting in the water just deep enough so only our heads were sticking out enough to clear the waves. The rain was so hard it would have been hard to tell if there was hail or not, and I was much more worried about the lightning. I dare not look out of the protective beach towel but I swear the rain hurt like it was not just water. As for the lightning, I just kinda waited to get hit. I always carry a gallon zip lock bag to put the camera in when the is a chance of rain. I left the camera in the plastic bag on the high part of the beach about 50' away, I thought it was going to get hit by lightning, it was hitting ths beach all around there. It was a good thing we were not on the beach. I wondered where you put the camera but I remember it was fine. Also really, the beach was getting hit by lightning? I wonder if there was any sand lightning (fulgurite). Lightning was hitting the water so close I was waiting to feel the electricity in the water but never did. After we got home I even goggled to see how far electricity travels in water from lightning, really couldn't find any straight answers from what I remember. I think I looked it up too and it might be 50 feet? Also thanks again for the amazing trip, at least while not pelted by rain I got to investigate a dolphin.

I believe it bobbed and swayed until it beached itself (thats why it took us 30 minutes to unbeach it) Also many times I was blinded by the lightning even though I closed my eyes and had a towel over my head), do you remember hail? I also might have thought we were toast.

I got a pretty bad sunburn that time so I didn't feel very much like moving. I swear I felt like I had a fever the sunburn was that bad. And yep I was on the boat with Christy's friend. The rain hurt thats how fast and much it was dropping (It was also freezing). She and I hid under some beach towels and all I could think was okay where was the rest of the family? Are they okay? And I am on this god damn Aluminum pontoon boat that is rocking and bobbing with lightning so close I am deaf and could literally smell the static from the last lightning strike!
