Why do I have to solve all the problems?

Some thoughts.

First, marking it in any fashion draws attention to it.

Second, anyone who can drill 1000m is high enough tech to figure out what it is. Nonissue.

Third, if they're not, but dig that deep anyway, we owe it to the gene pool to clean them out.

Fourth, this stuff has energy. We should be saving it for future use.

Fifth, how do the French and Japanese get rid of their nuclear waste? Surely someone has addressed this bef...

Wow.

That is all.

Oh, Gee, how about that?

Hullihan: only reason why I'm up so early is that SOS test...which didn't work out so well. Screw AFSO 21 and buzzwords. Not to mention "distance learning"
mike: SOS?
Hullihan: squadron officer school
Hullihan: pme for captain-types.
Hullihan: absolutely meaningless.
Hullihan: the focus has moved from "being a military officer and knowing about effective use of violence" to "meaningless buzzwords"

From a post I made in the Bar.:



Test question 1: is the Earth warming?

We're recovering from the Little Ice Age, so yes.

We're recovering from the Last Glacial Maximum, so yes.

Geologists who specialize in tectonics say that we're moving away from a landlocked polar ocean, without which there is no basin for a cap (North), and a continental pole surrounded by water (South), without which there isn't a platform for a cap, so yes--for the next several million years. During most of the Earth's hist...

PuffHo continues to be the second biggest accumulation of "liberal" shitheaded bigots and their frothing socialist cocksucking on the web.

Roman Polanski: Sociopathic Rapist, or Thuggish Child Molester?

What has me aghast about this whole case are the "liberals" defending him.  His plea bargain of 45 days wasn't FAIR! when the judge decided it should be lengthened to indefinite psychological evaluation.  The judge was a "publicity seeker."

I've seen comments defending him because he's a really good film maker (actually, no, he's really not that good except at self absorbed bullshit), because it was so long ago (yeah, it's called being a fugitive from justice), and (WAIT FOR IT), because the g...
