Sarah Palin did at the last CPAC earlier this month - https://www.google.com/search?...

How about the HBO movie "Game Change" where we can quote Julianne Moore instead? If even half this movie is true it's scary. And Woody Harrelson was great.

The only drought proof source of water in California is the Pacific Ocean. Build large scale solar or nuclear plants in the desert, send power to shorline or offshore desalination plants, and pipe the water back. This combined with treating sewage water dumped into the ocean is the way of the future. Some states and countries are already doing one or both, but it has to be done at a higher level of government, not each individual water entity. I started getting similar "average usage" reports a couple of months ago from SDGE, probably for the same reason.

BF4 is only recently getting all the bugs worked out if it because they released it too early. I'm just starting to play, mainly because Second Strike is out. After all the Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Half Life, Counter Strike, and Battlefield series, I have arrived at BF4, and will stay a while.

It's just so they can see better, doesn't matter if it makes everyone else see worse. Me me me me.

Incredibly annoying and too bright, which is obvious when viewed within a group of cars with "normal" headlights. Also seems popular on a few (not all) lowered Japanese cars with big mufflers and SUVs with shiny rims. Maybe it's a local thing, but near the southern California border there are lots of Baja vehicles lifted just enough in the front to place their bright, white headlights directly into your eyes. Sometimes they have similar lights on the back, so they can get you in two directions.

Maybe they should be asked what the difference is between cosmology and cosmotology, just to see if they think they are the same thing too.

In my rendering of the poll page, the obviously missing "flowers" option appeared in a 1-800-Flowers ad just below the poll, so I clicked that option. I suppose you could eat them, depending on the variety.

Exactly, and not even intentionally. I attended an evening event in a suit and afterwards went to meet my wife at a casino. I ordered some food to take back to the bingo hall and was surprised at how cheap it was for the food and drink I ordered. At the time I just thought they had great prices for players, but later when I was eating I looked closer at the receipt and noticed a very nice employee disount. I didn't say I worked there and wasn't wearing any kind of badge. I guess they took a look at this tall guy in a suit with short hair and assumed he was a pit manager or something, instant discount without even asking.

Yeah, I know kids from the late 70s/80s who would spend a day going from convenience store to convenience store buying $.15 or $.25 candy or unsweetened packs of Koolaid with $1 food stamps because they would get $.75 or $.85 in real money change. By the end of the day they would have $20 or $30 or $40 in coins, which could then be used by their parents to buy cigarettes, beer, gas, or whatever else the food stamps couldn't be used for. When they ran out of food stamps they would go to various churches (in a larger city) and get free bags of random food and sometimes fuel vouchers, probably so you would drive far enough away from their location. Tip - if you make corn flakes with powdered milk, it gets soggy in less than a minute, so eat it fast. Some of these kids went into the military, or eventually college, or are self-taught managers, and most have successful careers and own their homes. There was one who went into construction and hasn't been doing so well lately ...

Traffic signals are a different application. A few yeard ago I heard of a city somewhere up north that replaced all their incandescent traffic signals with LEDs. When winter came, the new signals, using 90% less power, didn't emit enough heat to melt the snow that accumulated in the signal housing. The snow can build up enough to completely block the light, resulting in confusion and accidents all over the city. They had to either go back to incandescents, install a heater element, or modify the housings. This shouldn't affect the street lighting.

All of our MTS busses have converted to LED headlights, which isn't hard to notice because they are exessively bright, even during the day.

Grown up: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Kid: An engineer!
Grown up: Oh yeah, what kind of engineer?
Kid: The kind that wears black and white striped overalls with a cap, and carries around an oil can, of course!

I had a WiFi hotspot named "NSA Surveillance Van" for a while, but it was pointed out to me that it could be an impersonation of the agency. I just call it Surveillance Van now, no NSA/FBI/Police. Maybe it really is the police.

My favorite Japanese restaurant is next to a beauty salon. It was closed for nearly 3 months because a piece of equipment in the salon was left on and caught the place on fire. The salon is more dangerous than the kitchen and no place for having servers nearby. We realized that a truck could be driven into our server room, so we had some very large rocks added to the landscape. A drunk driver would need to be launched off of some kind of ramp to crash through the building.
