Chuck 500 grams of ricin in would be more effective, and likely be easier to get.

Chuck 500 grams of ricin in would do the same job, more effectively, and would probably be easier to get.

Being that self-conscious about things that have happened or are out of your control is a waste of time, and that's coming from someone with a birth defect. If you're getting a prosthetic for extra freedom and usefulness, great, but getting a fake hand for the sake of a fake hand is just being vain IMHO.

This. I've got a birth defect that's left me with only 2 deformed fingers on my left hand. It doesn't bother me, i've never hunted out prosthetics (i like having feeling in my hand!) and no-one really notices. It took my english teacher many months to notice, and i think she's the only teacher to ever pick up on it. Many of my friends don't notice until i point it out too.

Here i sit
In awe and wonder
Would chaff drain a lake
For a bit of chunder

For the amount
The kid did pee
Is in the reals of
Homeopathy

But doesn't chaff know
Fish and birds
Will fill the lake
With piss and turds

This. No software can trounce the flexibility of a pen and a pad of paper. If you're that obsessed with digitising it, get a scanner and save the scans as PDF's

No it's not. Just require people who own a 3d printer to have a license for it. If you don't have a license, you go to jail. Simple.

It seems to depend on where you define "sink". But i'm on necro's side, you have to draw a line between "intentional and "non-intentional sinking when in a submarine. Diving works well for intentional sinking, and sinking, in the contextvof a submarine, means losing watertightness

Or more to the point, what happens if it breaks its moorings and floats up onto a beach? It's easy to pump out oil from a grounded supertanker. Removing a nuclear reactor is a whole new kettle of fish

They power nuclear subs, nuclear icebreakers etc. Stick a transformer on it and connect it to the grid, Bingo, floating nuclear power plant.

i'm not saying we couldn't, but it took ages to do by hand and could be error prone.

He probably was/did

Waaaay to rephrase my comment jackass.

What i meant is "i dont want to quit", not "i could quit if i wanted to". I know i've got an addiction and i know it's unhealthy, but simply put, i like smoking. I'm not trying to kid myself anything, i know i'm an addict. But trust me, nothing says "good morning!" like a nice hot cup of coffee and a cigarette "Al Fresco" in the middle of a busy city.

And for me, and many many others, smoking helps me socialise. You'd be suprised the folks you meet who need a smoke, or a lighter. People you'd normally never talk to, such as the homeless, chavs, barmaids, bouncers, your first girlfriends, etc etc. For me, at least, smoking has done more good than harm for my social and sex lives.

I thought that was the issue we have at the moment...

Pretty sure the only reason we have computers is because they're so good at working out ballistic trajectories. Oh, and of course the Lorenz cypher.
