Well, if they do attack the feds they might get branded as terrorists. Then the US will have to fund a war on someone, somewhere. Then some subset of the Anonymous crowd gets a missile down the ol smokestack. So, they probably wont openly attach fed sites.

Yeah, hate to say it but my Bro rented a house south of Orlando for a couple of years. They had several acres of land with about 10 citrus trees. We used to play baseball with them just to break them up a bit and spread them out. Lots of fruit sitting in a pile makes an awful smell. The trees had gone bad and would not produce edible fruit anymore.

Comment Liebert tried this. (Score 2) 325

Liebert made one of these for server room UPSs. We never got one although the salesman tried to get us to buy it. The thought of that wheel sitting in the next room and spinning that fast spooked me. I am not religious but there is no need to constantly tempt fate by working next to that kind of energy day in and day out. I guess it is a good way to store energy but I really dont want one in my backyard, basement or server room. Let's see the explanation for that disaster. Well, we made it through the hurricane and the earthquakes and, nope, the fire did not take us out. However, when that damn flywheel got out of balance due to cheap magnets in the bearings.... Damn thing took out half the rack before going through the roof and into the cafeteria. Just saying, I like fire but I dont carry an incendiary grenade in my back pocket.

Money magarity, it's all about the money. The more you got the better treatment you can buy for yourself. Steve gots the bank to get Dr.s to come see him. Or build his own cancer center. Or buy/fund one of the ones already in existence. If the whole place is focusing on you you will get better treatment.

Not at all. They are kind of yellowish with green and black splotches. No one will buy them if they dont all have that uniform orange color. Take a drive down to FL and look at the oranges destined for the squisher plant. They dont waste time or money dyeing those oranges orange. Or you can ask just about anyone for a real orange. Everyone has a citrus tree or three in their yard down there. You dont even have to ask, getting rid of citrus is difficult in FL. Just find the working class side of town, wait till dark and creep into the backyard. Pick all the fruit you want and sneak back to your car.

Technically, I am radioactive. You might go so far as to say that our very existence is due to radioactivity. We are all children of the background radiation of the Universe. We should probably be worshiping the Sun or at least one of the more radioactive isotopes. Yes, some of the individuals will get cancer along the way. Wont change the outcome for the species. Sheesh, all these pesky humans worrying about their survival rates in a zero sum game. We should focus on the real important things like grilling the best ribs possible and getting the beer down to the proper temperature before consuming it.
