Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect

It'd be closer to 5000 posts if Wikipedia didn't exist. 

Cats have a bad taste. 

Period. 

Every argument Toxn has offered is asinine and alight by the glow of his glorious ignorance on the subject at hand.

There are many, many things on this earth we kill from helicopters for culling. It's fast, effective, and there's money in it. 

If anyone on this forum simply dislikes the prospect, then they can take their delicate lilac scented feelings somewhere else. Maybe to a place where dumb opinions can be used to cull invasive species. 

 

Someday, I'd like to take a trip into Chernobyl, as I have always had a fondness for abandoned buildings and ruins.

Good hunting, Stalker...

But the findings are indeed rather interesting.  Do you know if there is another paper that shows similar findings, but for the aftermath of the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs? I know the two events and culture are very different, but it would be interesting to see. 

The average resistivity of blood is 100 ohms per mL.

I've always been interested in archery, but current funds have been funneled to other hobbies. 

I would like a bow still. Perhaps within the next year. 

well, I do like how the carpet feels on my knuckles as I wander from computer to kitchen. 

If it's such a good gun, Sturgis, why doesn't it fold into a laptop? 

FN is really missing a valuable market. 

Colli-man forgot that it is the only weapon that can stop a charging Goa'uld Jaffa. 

This is a "What I learned today" thread, not a "give away all my secrets" thread. 

OK, how do you think you learned my blood type?

Today I learned how to derive Laplace transformations.

But even more important, I learned Sturgeon's blood type.

My bowie'll have ya countin' in fractions, turd. 

That's just because your first language is Texan.

Are we sure that Beowulf was English? Pretty sure that wasn't English. I needed subtitles for the subtitles. 

Cecil was a homosexual lion.  This makes this a hate crime as well. #alllivesmatter

Texans are built tougher than most. This is a fact. Go read a book. 

A .38 Special doesn't have the stopping power to take down armadillos.

I know the story has been making the media rounds. Good thing he didn't use a .25 ACP, he'd have just made the critter angry...

Smallpox is only ~700 base pairs, and laughably easy to engineer. 

Virulence plasmids are fun.

Though, Colli-man, the two species differ mainly in plasmids.  You could probably *citation needed* get Bt to produce the AB toxin for Anthrax, but the method in which the disease presents wouldn't be completely the same. 

But this is NoKo we're talking about.  They'll probably accidentally kill a few scientists first. 

B.Anthracis is also native to most middle eastern soils. Albeit, the concentration is small enough to not be that much of a worry to the troops. 

Anthrax has a very interesting life cycle, epidemiologically speaking.

"I GET PLENTY OF EXERCISE IN MY REENACTMENTS" *huff huff huff*

Said the Larper. 

Always good to see the greatest rifle ever produced by mankind. 

Everyone's gotta get alone, and we're all just dirty apes who fart in public. Make it work, stop worrying about your fucking fweedumbs.

My freedom to fuck is none of your business, sturge-man. 

Knowing that I'm better than all of you has changed nothing.

Because I'm better than all of you. 

His original attempt did not end as nicely.  

Frame snapped where the headtube and downtube attach.  This was back in 2004.  Good to see him go for it again after all these years. 

I have experience with bike riding (Tour Divide 2011, CX racing, Triathlon racing, XCO MTB racing, etc).  Going fast is a wonderful thing.  

But when I hit 60 mph down a hill on 23mm wide tires, I do tend to think "Man, I could die so fast right now." 

Well, what else do you think those big, honkin' cannons represent? 

Not personality, let me tell you...
