  1. Ah yes!  Alternative facts.  I have heard that somewhere, I believe it was coined by an inveterate liar.  Because, right wait, I remember another saying that the truth isn't the truth.  Relativism at its logical extreme leads the ignorant down the path of total confusion resulting in the complete maleability of their minds.  Critical thinking is the first casualty, and studies have shown that one cannot change others opinions through the exposition of facts.  

    We are living Orwell's nightmare of mind control through the bastardization of language.

  3. Every song I hear with cowbell needs more.  There should be songs that are nothing but cowbell.  In my youth i set up an array of actual (not pro grade music cowbells but real life cowbells that i derusted and painted black) along with a latin percussion brand ridged cowbell along side my drum set.  This was of course way before snl had their skit.  Lots of us already knew the cowbell mantra.

  4. Agreed but the line blurs when delineating between official and "unofficial."  Only true (official) state censorship is guaranteed to be protected against by the constitution.  Nothing good follows censorship, yet corporations and businesses as private entities have been granted unlimited censorship regarding its employees and their conditions of employment.  Concurrently, the same private entities are also allowed to censor anything that is attached to their property (see Klipsch Forum and moderation policy).  But you have experience with that as  I recall.

    And shortly there after they returned from a two month vacation to a 95 degree house? Seriously though, cooking big meals on 240v stove, drying clothes with 240v dryer, hot water heater on 240v and running the air conditioning far exceed what that solar panel system could manage. Just cooling an 8000 sq ft house to 72 degrees F. in the South East USA would keep it FAR from negative.

    I'm not so sure it's that far off.  I toured a house being lived in with good insulation and solar panels in the DFW area and it was comfortable.  I was looking into the builder as a possible builder at the time.  On the other hand, I'm keeping our house this summer at 75 and 72 sounds way too extreme.  Personally, I would go warmer than 75 but the wife, well, you know what swmbo means.

  6. It is a personal thing.  Medium to some is quite hot for others.  If you don't know, then you need more experience.  As a long time chili head, my hot is pretty dang hot.  I order my food at Thai restaurants "Thai hot."  If you know what that means, then you can get an idea.

    Had to look up the scoville for the Yellow 7 Pot Pepper because I haven't heard of it. ;)

     

    I've tried just about every hot sauce creation you have produced, Oldtimer, so based that, how much heat do the new recipes bring compared to your earlier offerings?

     

    Thanks

    JJ

     

    @oldtimer

    They compare around the same.  The yellow I would call a medium hot, and the death spiral and scorpion are in the pretty dang hot range, and the scorpion has that long linger to not let you forget how hot it is.

  8. I can currently offer some hot sauce for the chili heads on the forum.  There is a scorpion based, a death spiral based, and a small amount of yellow 7 pot based sauces.  Still at the price of $7 per 5oz bottle, or $15 for an 11.2 oz flip top, plus shipping.  They will be ready soon and I am still considering appropriate names for the label.  Pm for transaction details.  Bon apetit.

  9. The problem as with many places is corruption.  Developers pay off the government.  Gee.  Think about it if you have the skills.  It takes a special kind of idiot to look the other way.

  10. Headline of honolulu paper today

    Maui emergency chief resigns

    Refreshing right?

    And if there is to be a prosecution for any crimes then the justice system works, right?

    I mean if a prosecutor has tons of evidence then the indicted should be brought to trial.  It is what the country was designed for.  The rule of law.

  11. Population of Maui?

    165,000 people island wide.  Smallish town usa.  So how much investment would you think would be approved from available funds?

  12. The electricity that would power any sea water pumps was out anyway.  The power lines started the fire from being downed by high winds.

    The lesson is investment in infrastructure given the possible circumstances of the area.
