Piss is a step up from Budwieser.

I imagine they at least run it through a filter before it hits the pipes.

I damn sure don't want any piss in my facets. That's even worse than piss coming through my faucets.

Does Portland even have conservatives? Surely not in Portland anyway.

Well water in my area is awesome. Some places I've been it had a nasty taste to it but it really depends on the area.

Imagine what they'd have thought of a chemistry set from the 50's! Oh man, they'd shit bricks.

This is one of the more insightful and reasoned comments I've read on /. in a long while. Sadly I have no mod points.

I always thought Windows OS was their favorite vulnerability?

Only 114 dead. Compared to a falling skyscraper it's nothing. Bad but not bad enough to generate the hysteria neccessary for a lynching.

You ignore the fact that he can be held criminally liable. Let a skyscraper fall and you're talking casualties in the 5 digit range. There is no way to stop that avalanche of outrage. In fact, I'd be surprised if the engineer didn't have to be taken into protective custody for his own safety. The people responsible for building safety will catch hell too. Catastrophic destruction gets catastrophic response.

I tried explaing to one of my coworkers in that same situation how he was working for less than minimum wage. We sat down, figured up what it cost him to go to work in gas and such and other expenses and he was basically working for about 4 dollars an hour. He retired a month later. Turns out we didn't figure it right, his taxes dropped a lot and he ended up only losing about 150 dollars a month. He had a craft business going on the side and he started doing that real heavy and now makes about twice what he did when he worked with me and he banks his retirement check.

Haven't you heard? Everything is all better now, I saw the Whitehouse press spokesperson saying the economy is recovering nicely. It must be true, never known those guys to lie.

That's how I view retirement. A chance to do the things you want to do. Not sit on the fucking couch and wait to die. If you enjoy what you do it's not really what I call work. Work is drudgery.

Even though I know you are right I find it difficult to not hand out money. I see these people and almost invariably I end up giving them 5 bucks. It's not much to me and they seem happy to get it.

There I fully agree. In fact I lay the blame for all this crazy bullshit on Congress. They write crazy laws that are then pursued with abandon by a crazy legal system.
