It isn't dissent we're blocking, Khyber. You were on a rant. Since we keep detailed logs of our IRC, anyone can see what you did to get quieted, and then banned. I'd invite anyone interested to check our IRC logs, starting here. That got you a mute.
You then made threats about a DDOS attack on our site to one of our channel operators via pm. That's what got you banned. I'll note you can still access the main site.
Federal law normally preempts state law, in cases where both jurisdictions have an interest. However, the courts have generally allowed states to provide more specific regulations so long as they meet the requirements of the federal law. Two examples.
Consider minimum wage laws. The US Government requires a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Many states and jurisdictions require a higher wage, and are fully allowed to do so, because whatever rate they set above $7.25 meets the requirements of the federal minimum wage law.
Consider emissions standards. The EPA sets emission standards for the country as a whole, but, in practice, California does. Because the California standards meet the minimum requirements of the federal statute, they can set more strict standards.
I still expect some level of quality from idle. I don't want to see pictures of your mother's cat.
If the cat is flying in circles due to being caught in a mini-tornado, then I do want to see pictures of your mother's cat.
Because, how often do you get to use the word "catnado," much less actually see it happen?
Here's hoping someone caught it on film and is uploading to the net as we type.
Seriously. Pics or it didn't happen.
I'm waiting for Neil deGrasse Tyson to show up and be all like:
"All of the above, you insensitive clods!"
Answer: Yes.
Rationale: There is an International Space Station currently in what is commonly known as space. This is manned by astro/cosmo/nauts, which are a subset of an intelligent species. Therefore, yes.
The can is clearly labeled 'refrigerate after opening' but you probably gobble down the whole can.
I, personally, prefer WalMart's generic 'luncheon meat' to the real branded Spam. The WalMart stuff just tastes better.
Steer far clear of the Kroeger 'spam' though. Yech.
You imply that I open a can of the stuff. I store the cans in the root cellar with the rest of my survival goods for the inevitable apocalypse.
