Moontanman

Stalin and Mao. Tiananmen Square.

Remember how barbarically atheists behaved when they had power.

Worlds becoming more and more agnostic and atheist. Medieval era was religious. Look at how barbaric the Middle East was thousand years ago. Oops, still is, and still religious lol.

accedentally ?

accidentally ?

I need spelling check evidently

You've been watching too much south park....

Way too much evidently!

Sounds horrific - but glad you and yours are OK. How is the community taking it - pulling together or falling apart

pulling together for the most part. standing water and washed out roads, flooding and down trees are still a problem.

Seems like the guy knows what he's talking about but frankly I can't get around his accent thing.

It's a speech impediment, he does do closed captioned on his videos.

What model is it Moontanman ?

It's a samsung HLS4266WX/XAA, I think the bulb overheated. It turns on for a minute or so then turns off. I put a new bulb in last year when I was doing the same thing. It worked until now. The TV was one I rescued off my neighbors trash, recycling at it's finest! It was doing the same thing then, I might look and see if the cooling fan is messed up. It appears to be running but I'm not sure how strong the airflow should be. It's pretty weak... 

Can I get a link to your blog?

Sure, I just posted a story, it needs some editing as usual.

Yes, the garden can certainly wait for you to be healthy enough to do it.

Take care of yourself moon.

Good to hear you're up and running Moontanman. Don't smoke all the weed at once.

Did you contact them about it? Maybe they'll add you as a reference or something.  What do you write?

It was my ghost rider story, It's in my blog herehttp://blogs.scienceforums.net/moontanman/2010/09/06/night-flight/

Cool. Have you sought to avoid inbreeding depression, as mentioned in the last part of your link? I imagine this is quite a problem with endangered species and trying to keep them going.

Yes, I will add some more wild specimens when I transfer them to an outdoor pond. I used to breed dwarf crayfish, I tried several times to breed a line of blue specimens but the blue color always seemed to be associated with extreme inbreeding. I ended up with a line of paisley patterned crayfish. I still managed to sell quite a few...  

Did you break a rotor ?

Naw, but it did drag the motor down to the point of cutting the engine off. Now off to the parts yard to buy a used door for my car, I love motor vehicles... 

We've been blue, holding our breath for you, Moon. Welcome back! So glad you have some Klingon blood in you!

The first two weeks were a nightmare... 

So is the Hulk your 'residual self image' ?

Morpheus quote, from The Matrix

Who is the benign, rogue incognito based on?

i liked your story!

I once had a pack rat chew through the wires that monitored whether or not someone was sitting on the seat. Since there was no signal that I was indeed on the seat, the lawnmower would not start as part of that standard safety feature. Fixed the wire and all was good with the world.

I will put that on my list, shade tree mechanicing lawn mowers is not fun.

Most expensive cartoon ever made.
James Cameron needs to go back to making movies that entertain, like Terminator 2 or Aliens.

The cgi was great and hints at some wild possibilities, the John Varley trilogy, IMHO a great story but until now impossible to make, would lend itself to this type of cgi quite well. Sci-fi in general would benefit with this technology. But this movie was... not much more than a retelling of Moby Dick and not really well done either.

The first movie was sweet but just a retelling of Pocahontas, the CGI and the idea of what an alien planet might look like was great but some of the portrayal of the aliens was "sweet" instead of realistic.

The shifting of the necklaces of the females to hide their "almost" breasts was sweet in the beginning but became distracting and comical as the movie went on.

The females either should have not had "almost" breasts or they should have shared the modern taboo of not exposing them, would bra tops have been such a problem for cgi? The constant "accidental" covering of the breasts became silly at best as the movie went on. In the second movie it became annoying as hell and just made it more difficult to suspend disbelief of the sci-fi setting of the movie. 

I thought the idea of a world wide AI controlling the ecosystem was kind of unique and made it interesting but the willy nilly method of the AI intervening seemed contrived to me at best. 

Let's talk about the over the top evil of the humans and the unobtainium of both movies, the first one was difficult to swallow but not impossible to conceive of. It was easy to assume the "people" of earth stumbled across such a thing and it's value in their technology was enough to justify mining and shipping it to earth. 

But the stuff obtained from the alien whales? They arrive ten years later and within a year they find an immortality serum in the brains of "alien whales" and have a complex system of obtaining it already set up?  This just beggars the imagination to think they discovered it that quickly.

Did they set about the slaughter of native animals immediately when they arrived the second time looking for something of value to justify star travel? The method used to obtain this substance would have required a technological base already in place when they landed. No justification for this was even hinted at.

The Red Planet by Heinlein would have been a much better story and a good way to display the CGI tech. 

In fact the entire operation seemed to indicate they already knew about the immortality serum before they arrived, screw the unobtainium that allowed for the tech that got them to the planet, lets kill something and see if we can find an immortality serum. 

I think the whale theme was meant to be a tear jerker for little kids but it detracted from the story line and made suspension of disbelief even more difficult. I write better than that or at least more subtilly. The entire story was about as subtle as a slap in the face with a dead fish.

Such a wonderful possibility wasted, let us hope this technology can be applied to better movies in the future.  

Try Brave

Opera is a web browser similar to Chrome, although a little slower.
It was originally very compact but now has gained all sorts of extensions, and is available on multiple platforms, such as Windows, iOS, Android, etc.

Works fine here. http://blogs.scienceforums.net/

Not for me, it says network not secure, my battery is dying. Maybe it ill let me on tomorrow. 

Is there a problem if I post a link to my story here? 

Tea flavored bourbon? That's freaky guy!

Hmmm....

If you already feel like that after that experience, imagine how the chicken felt.

I'm alive, i beat the flu! A new day is dawning, flowers are in bloom... well maybe not flowers but feels good not wish for the release of death from my suffering...

maybe

let us know if you feel the same way when its 132 degrees and hasn't rained in 6 months. while us in the north are rocking 80 degree temperatures on the banks of lake Michigan as we eat a Chicago style pizza.

A cute wittle Slobovian wabbit.

Just have it nosing out from some shrubbery so that people don't notice it - at first!
