  1. “Many religions now come before us with ingratiating smirks and outspread hands, like an unctuous merchant in a bazaar. They offer consolation and solidarity and uplift, competing as they do in a marketplace. But we have a right to remember how barbarically they behaved when they were strong and were making an offer that people could not refuse.” ― Christopher Hitchens

      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.

  2. We almost made it as a species, almost managed to actually be civilized, I'd like to think a few pockets of our species made it to threshold of being civilized beings but it hardly matters now. The downhill slide back to something ever more distant from civilization might be slow but i doubt it, I am probably too old to see the slide pick up too much speed but the curve has begun it's unstoppable downward turn. There were a few rays of hope, the enlightenment being the brightest...

      Unity, Man was led down that path and Good Men should have grown a pair and fought instead of hoping someone else would fight for them!

      The only sea horse ever found was nailed to the side of a shed, turned out to be a marine seahorse that had been traded as a curiosity in 1930, no others have ever been found despite many searches.

       

      The seahorse that supposedly live in titicaca is used by creationists to prove their flood story..

      We had a beautiful day here in Portland, OR. I actually had to take my sweatshirt off. :)

      11 degrees here - but then that's centigrade!

  5. 2 to 3 inches of hail here this morning... talk about climate change!

      or til it's statistically significant. ;)

      While I do accept that climate change is happening, I do not accepting that man is "making" this change. Climate change is part of a natural cycle, and man is merely *accelerating* it to a remarkable degree.

  6. My dog found an opossum last night, it was a small one and the dog just pushed it around with his nose while barking like he was going to go crazy. I pulled the dog off the opossum and the opossum's look was classic, he was dazed and didn't know what had happened, he looked like a drunk who just woke up in the middle of the road.It was so funny..

  7. My wife is in the hospital again, I am worried.

      When ignorance shows it's ugly face, it's up to the men and women of Science Wisdom And Training to teach and to serve. Probably some guy, hopped up on astrology or something, screaming from the roof how, "It's just a THEORY!"

      Not far off Phi, he was on the roof of his apartment complex threatening to kill himself, took the entire city county swat team 6 hours to get him down... just one of them things...

  11. Hurricane is gone, not much damage but 20,000 people are without power..

  12. Hurricane conditions this afternoon and evening, so much fun, my yard is a pond and limbs are coming out of the trees...

  13. Someone here gave me a link to a program that allowed you to shrink and edit photos, I lost it, anyone have an idea what it was...?

      Shrink and edit, how so specifically?

    2. Moontanman

      Moontanman

      You could use the program to shrink, crop and edit pictures. I'll probably have to crank up the old PC to get it back. It allowed you to do quite a bit more than just those things but that was about all I ever used it for..

      what OS do you use. Both the standard viewer with Windows and Linux (most flavours) can do this with ease.

      Are you looking to fill your aquarium or your dinner plate? I'm curious what your plans are if you wouldn't mind providing some more detail.

      I was wondering the same. I've got this Gollum image in my head, you'd better hurry!:)

      Sorry guys, it was for science. the point was mostly to take pictures of fish from different water sheds and record the numbers of species and take photos for a book. I did bring back a few specimens from my aquarium. I caught or helped catch several species, including Black banded sunfish. Enneacanthus Chaetodon, Esox niger, Nototrpis chiliticus, Nocomis leptocephalus, A bandeded water snake, a mud turtle, a lesser siren, green newts, a very tiny stinkpot turtle and several other species I...

  17. Ok space fans, who said the following line... "who died and left you in charge?... "Captain Bipto!"

      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.

  22. Everyone near where i grew up has been with out water for about three days now, over 300,000 people due to a chemical spill in the Elk river, reminds me when i wasa child and the pollution in the air and water of that area....

  23. Severe thunderstorms here tonight, raining very hard, but not unusual for this time of year..
