Comment Re:Grocery Store Secrets (Score 1) 184

I do two week's worth at a time using a dog bowl and a hot-air gun. It's dead easy, takes minimal, off-the-shelf equipment and about a half hour of heating/stirring (I do a batch each of two varieties to blend).

I used to treat it like a hobby (specialized roaster, monitoring/graphing temps with a thermocouple, etc.) but that got old. I decided to simplify and now for me it's just another household task - that yields an excellent brew every morning...

Comment Re:10 moon masses sounds awfully small.... (Score 1) 133

Lead is a special case because it is an especially stable nucleus, and can be created by the s-process in asymptotic giant branch stars (ie., no supernova required). Not that your ratios are wrong, but extrapolation from the r-process alone (ie., supernova or something similar required) would be inaccurate.

He ... didn't kill law enforcement officials, etc. Thus this is the only charge that the federal government can bring against him that could result in the death penalty. It's not about being politically charged - it's about them desiring to be able to kill him, and not having another way to go about it.

I'm pretty sure they (allegedly) killed a cop in the days after the marathon attack...

Should? Who says? The subatomic world is not a prison where things should be held back by barriers.The fact of tunneling has been known about for some time and "shoulds and shouldn'ts" have nothing to do with it. It's like saying things "want" to fall because of gravity. Just utterly cretinous.

Sure but then why didn't the US citizens throw out Obama or Bush after the 1st presidential term ? He didn't go to the White House for the second time of his own free will. Lazy, morally corrupt, couch potatoes american citizens voted this lier for a second term. So who the fuck is to blame eh ? A 2 party system is no better than a 1 party system especially when the 2 sides agree on almost everything that has to do with fucking the american citizen.

FTFY....

That's not a real citation, it's an article in the New York Daily News (not exactly a scientific journal - not really even much of a newspaper) which doesn't link to the study they reference.

You make some pretty unambiguous statements listing several things are more dangerous than talking on a cell phone. Unless you are prepared to back them up with anything resembling scientific evidence, you need to STFU and get back under the bridge with the rest of the trolls.

I'm not making any claims other than the claim that you are talking out your ass.

For instance, eating behind the wheel is legitimately dangerous... but it has nothing to do with cell phones, it must be alright! Changing the station/CD/song in your car? Messing with the AC? Shaving? Messing with the GPS??? How about talking to someone in the backseat?!? That's more dangerous than talking on a cell phone!
