sea algae is the best, becase you can farm in it cubic meters

"put me in frozen stasis and wake me up when the average person is allowed to, able to afford, and able to have installed a hydrogen fuel producing machine in their basement connected to a rain catchment / rain water filtration machine connected to electricity producing solar panels and wind generators on a detached suburban home with an ample yard to grow all the vegetables and fruit a family of 6 would need to satisfy their calorie intake and and a hydrogen-powered flying car - all affordable on single, minimum wage salary."

you know how much energy you'd consume in cryosleep, you hog?

that 80% to 1% doens't make sense given the volume of trading over the last 20 years, compared to the previous 80.  When the Dow traded 3000 shares a day, maybe...but not at 14000

Oh WOW Paulson decided The Yell was right, investment was the key not having the govt buy up all the crap assets

buying up crap would take too long and impose artificial prices

Hooray

too bad he still thinks have Uncle Sucker invest in loser banks is better than trusting the market to pick winners

but he's only had a month, he'll come around to my pov in the end

hahahaha sumbitches void a warranty for using accessories? I don't think that's gonna fly in court--oh wait this is Microsoft, they don't mind being prosecuted do they

If you really want a fan on there the simplest thing to do would be

buy a
jigsaw
soldering iron
solder
short power cord
9v battery cap
9v battery
black insulated electrical tape
shop razor
wire stripper
silver duct tape with fabric in it

open the case of the fan.  trace the power cable from the fans themselves to the power unit.  cut the wires to the power unit and take that power unit out and toss it.  No into the can.  Go pick it up. Slob.

cut a small hole into the fan case with the jigsaw.  cut the ends off the power cable, and strip the ends.  put it into the case onto the jigsaw hole.  solder the fan wires to one end of the power cable, keeping the left wires of the fans to the left wire of the power cable and the right wires to the right wire (no I don't know which is which, it doesn't matter as long as you don't cross the wires)
LET IT COOL NOOB
then wrap the soldered joints tightly with black insulated tape so no metal is exposed. exposed metal = fire

solder the little 9v battery cap to the other end of the power cable, left to left, right to right
LET IT COOL NOOB
wrap it with black insulating tape so all metal surfaces are covered

put the fan case back on so that your power cable is snugly trapped and gtg
put a 9v battery onto the cap and fasten it down with a strip of silver duct tape.  this will look like you juryrigged it yourself.  You did.

click on your power and you're gtg!!
if your friends laugh at you then stare them down and ask them if they need  Tech support to dress them too
you can throw in something about Mr. Scott and the engineer in Das Boot
if they still laugh, get new friends

But then Henry Ford showed how workers can be so efficient they can produce enough units to not ony satisfy the basic working family with a Model T car, but with very little expenditure in labor and materials, sell a much costlier--and therfore profitable-- Packard or oldsmobile.  The diffrence between a Rolls Royce and a Jeep aint the labor, whatever Rolls advertises.

Ridiculous...it confuses federal revenues with the US money supply

And for that matter, since the US budget has been over a trillion dollars for over a decade, each year, the US govt has cycled thru $10 trillion dollars. If the Chinese only have "lent" ie bought US securities totalling $1 trillion they are a small part of US federal rwevenue.

"but their economy (what ever would be survive the financial crash) would have to face a competition with companies full with state money, ready to defend and expand their market situation on the cost of the than weak us-companies. than the US would not even sell paper to china."

They only survive over time, 20-30 years, by preventing effective competition through trade regulation.
About the only time I agreed with Jesse jackson, he said we don't have free trade, we have managed trade...

"Regulations are good, the world demands for regulations and the US have to react. Obama needs concepts for his negotiations. the EU already made their move and Obama must build a defense, to block it. so he has to give something. if he would just say NO, there will be an agreement without the US and the financial markets will adjust."

PLEASE DO then we can get rich again busting that up

Ok for being such a wuss Coleman must spend the rest of his life the wrong side of the Midway shopping the organic hallal groceries of East Franklin Park and eating the worst pancakes on earth at the Black Forest cafe, staring with yearning longing for the spires of St Paul, if it had any damn spires.

The rest of us must consider suitable punishment for Minnesota for forcing Al Franken on us.  Any city that would sue to keep the Twins is beyond rehabilitation.  Maybe if we let Mondale build all the statuary she wants until the whole state is fenced in by swooping steel and provocative bronze levels.

We already spend something like $700 billion for federal healthcare, and that is without full coverage, and it doesn't cover the state and local healthcare systems.  All told health care is about 1/7 our economy or over $1.5 trillion.

more like Washington state 2004

where they kept FINDING ballot boxes full of votes

Democrat won with a vote tally that was higher than the number of registered voters

I believe I recall something from 2000, that if oyu got millions of votes and the difference is within a few hundred, its pointless to recount because you'er within the margin fo error
you will always get a few hundred wrong wehn you count a million votes
