We see people at these forums every day who were scammed and found no help at all from PayPal. I would not use paypal unless I knew the person in real life and trusted them. Because if you are scammed, the police won't know what you are even talking about and PayPal has zero interest in helping you with your bitcoin problem.

He's not spot on. Not only are people fucked, but so are tens of thousands of other species, ecosystems, and so on. And we're the cause of it.

There is no baseline metric of what defines the planet as being fine. The best metric is the one in which the planet's systems proceed at the pace they normally do, which is not occurring right now.

Nope. If you look at the planet you can find life everywhere. Dosen't matter how harsh it is. Life is everywhere. No matter if it's cold, warm, no oxygen, high pressure..... The planet will do fine long after we are gone.
If it's our time to go, it's our time to go. The planet will do fine without us
That is not very consoling. lol
7145  Other / Off-topic / What types of pressure cookers should be banned? on: April 17, 2013, 07:13:04 PM
Now that we know that pressure cookers are nothing more than murderous tools of the deranged terrorists, Americans will need to have them seized for their own good. Sure some nut-jobs are going to try to make the case that these dangerous weapons can be used for "recreational cooking". But that is obvious trolling.
I suppose cops and the military could still have them because no cop or solider ever hurt any innocent person. However any so-called "cookware" with the following characteristics must be banned. As a person who knows nothing about cookware I demand it!

Cookware should be banned if it:

-is high capacity
-is black and/or menacing looking
-is imported from another country 
-is bought by anyone other than a professional chef

If we at least had background checks for pressure cookers (a.k.a. death pots) then none of this would have happened. The Boston bomber would have been like "Dang, I guess I give up."

This is what gun ban arguments look like to me.

I always like the good movies that somehow I missed at the theater. I'm not sure if it is streaming right now, but "Land of the Blind" is such a film. It even has some big names in it.

But again, how is it possible that one can add CO2 to the atmosphere without driving up heat retention. You can try it at home. Get two fishtanks and seal them. In one put some air, in the other put some air and some extra CO2. Now place a thermometer in both and shine a lamp on them. Within an hour you will notice that the CO2 tank is heating up more.

There's the flaw in your experiment.

Bet you can even guess why.
I don't see it. Is it sealing the tanks? That is just so the air won't float away. Not the same seal as the earth, gravity does that IRL. But basically we live on a wet rock with a bubble around it, so the sky is sequestered.

In before ban on pressure cookers.


Ban assault pressure cookers!



(Amusingly enough, when I was searching for the image for this, I found it in another place where someone had thought of the same thing)
Yeah, those things should be banned. Look at that thing it's tactical black! Way to scary to be allowed. Of course if it's a wood grain hunting cooker that's fine. We should always make an exception for guns and pressure cookers if they are for killing unwitting animals.

In the past it has been warmer and colder. That is perfectly natural. But so is the death of 90% of all life on Earth. It has happened at least 5 times before.
My concern is that even though I love nature, it does not love me. There is no reason to think that the warming will stop before our extinction. In fact it may be to late. The permafrost is now melting and that is very worrying. The methane that is now being released could dwarf the effect humans directly have on the sky. At the same time the oceans are soaking up less and less CO2 as the reefs die. With all this evidence I consider anything less than alarm to be a weak response.

This is what will happen with global warming. Eventually it will be too hot to dispute and the deniers will say... "sure i have always known there was global warming but...".
How long has the earth existed?
How long has there been life on Earth?
How long have there been Humans on Earth?
How long have we been tracking the temperature?

Each of those answers is shorter by at least an order of magnitude than the one above it. That AGW is a popular theory does not surprise me, given the number of people who look at the last 6 hours of Bitcoin's price and scream that it's crashing because it lost $10.

Seen on a geologic scale, what you get is this:
Idiot humans built all their cities on the coast during a cool period when there was more coast. The Earth has been warmer, even within human memory, than it is now.
It was warmer 10k+ years ago. And really warm in the distant past. The concern is about now. If you put C02 in the sky the sky will warm. That is a scientific fact and unless someone has a new theory of thermodynamic law any counter argument must address this.
I hear all the time that scientist are involved in a grand hoax, or global warming is "what someone wants you to think". That means nothing without an explanation of why physics doesn't work in this one special case of the sky.

Yes environmentalists, and stop claiming there were dinosaurs.

What does dinosaurs have to do with environmentalism?
The same mindset that could deny global warming denied the existence of dinosaurs a generation ago. It takes willful ignorance, not just misunderstanding. Of course eventually the evidence was so overwhelming and ubiquitous that even the most ardent creationist had to find dinosaurs somewhere in the bible. So they did. Now the story is that the dinos were wiped out in the flood. Even though the bible says no such thing.

Yes environmentalists, and stop claiming there were dinosaurs. There never were dinosaurs and we are certainly not burning them and releasing carbon into the sky. Also stop claiming that atmospheric carbon retains more heat. This can only be demonstrated repeatedly in a lab, via computer models, or in every controlled experiment ever done. But what does that really mean?
Lets just all agree that despite the laws of physics, this is not happening. Now repeat that three times and burn something.

With machine gun your position is not concealed anyway. With or without magazine on top.
True. Not once you open up on them anyway. Tracers not only mark the enemy position but yours also. lol

Few people can get something like C4.

It was available on Silk Road's armory section not too long ago, before that was taken down.
Wow, that's crazy. Getting a machine guns, RPGs, or hand grenades are easy compared with plastique. If it was C4 there will be clues. Batches of C4 are chemically tagged and the source of each batch can be tracked.  

EDIT: Now it is being described as a "pressure cooker" design. So, I'm guessing it was an ampho bomb.
