Comment Re:Common sense? In MY judiciary? (Score 1) 457

don't be stupid... tail lights do not go off when you turn your headlights off, they turn off when you turn your sidelights off. There are three positions to the lights switch: Off, Sidelights on, Headlights & Sidelights on. Your main beams are controlled by a second switch... I would suggest to you that you actually familiarise yourself with the controls in your car and their operation and get out and look at the back with the switch in different positions.

Comment Digitised? (Score 1) 209

yup, I've seen some digitizing fuckups in my day... whole reams of paper feed through a scanner the wrong way up so only blank reverse sides got scanned... whole reams of double sided copy fed through the scanner in single sided mode...

and the mistakes weren't picked up when they could be easily corrected either... no double checking was being done of the scanner settings or the operator feeding it in before the button was pressed to start scanning.... It wasn't until the digitised copies were being proof read against the hardcopy after having been OCR'd that the mistakes were being found... :(

Comment fundamental rights for veterans... (Score 1) 934

certain fundamental rights are protected by the Constitution, put outside government's reach, including the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense under the Second Amendment,' wrote U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang.

right, now get into stopping them from classing returning comabt veterans as having psych issues and forcibly stripping their guns from them as a result of this medical classification.

Yes, you can claim that the liberals are crying "Censorship!" and "Oppression!" without warrent right now because they can indeed turn the filter off.

more worrying for me is even if they claim the filter is off, how can you be sure it really is off and is not blocking stuff they don't want you to read like foreign news stories on scandals involving your politicians?

It just seems insane to attempt such a high-energy feat in such a harsh climate with the limited gear apparent in the photographs.

that's why I'm very interested in finding out what her dietary regime was for the trip... Low-carb, high-fat fuelling herself from proper pemmican? Not the crap dietary "balanced" formula pemmican that caused the Scott expedition to fail.

From some quick googling, you only need one pound of proper pemmican per day (that's pemmican made the old fashioned way with just pounded dried meat mixed with rendered tallow)
