Please explain this. Quickly.

Hang tough, UK and London in particular. I'm sorry for your losses. Terrorism loses when you don't give in to fear. You are tougher than they are.

Important project possibility:
Phi for All replied to TerrysID's topic in Ecology and the Environment
We love innovation, but this is a debate forum and as Mokele points out, you give us nothing for discussion. We will be overjoyed to read of your success in the appropriate media. No, I am. This is now just advertising for you. Thread closed. -
Reread his post, he's fine when he's been drinking, just don't wake up next to him.

Indigo children are usually violent or angry early in life, because they have no learned mechanisms for dealing with their over-average sensitivity. Sensory stimuli can be overpowering to them and they lash out because no one seems to know why they are not processing things normally. Were you frustrated or angry when you were 3-6 years old?

Alcohol, like caffeine or nicotine or any other poison you put into yout body, is all about tolerance. Some people have a high tolerance and need three beers to start feeling their buzz, while others with low tolerance drink half a beer and don't finish it because they feel too tipsy. Many people could never drink anywhere close to 10 cups of coffee a day like you, no matter how nervous they are. You have a very high tolerance for caffeine. Beware if you have a high tolerance for alcohol. You can easily go past your body's tolerance level while your judgement and reason is still looking for the bartender. There is a marked tendency to keep pushing for more of a buzz as your tolerance level grows, whether it's coffee, booze or cigarettes.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=310788&contrassID=2&subContrassID=1&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y As spoken to the Palestinian Prime Minister (from the link above): http://rawstory.com/exclusives/avery/who_would_jesus_invade_1019.htm From a presedential debate (quoted from the above link): I think it was a conscious effort to match the religious fervor of the Islamic extremists. What al Qaida has clearly shown is that this type of religious fanaticism is wrong. Why is it right for Bush to invoke it in us? Nuclear proliferation is not a desirable option. I also would not like to see Iran making nuclear weapons. But using more flimsy evidence of WMDs, or worse some God-given mandate, to invade yet another country is doubly wrong. If Iran is caught making nuclear weapons against the wishes of the world, then it can be dealt with by a world organisation. I'm a little leary of trusting this president's word about WMDs when so many lives on both sides are at stake.

Patio weeds are great in salads. But they're better in brownies.

I'm withdrawing my support for you being our Political Expert if you don't stop this leftist claptrap! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Never leave quotes like that hanging around where unscrupulous people can take advantage of them. I think politicians have always used the media to influence how we're going to view their decisions. Whether it was a broadside leaflet passed out condemning slave emancipation or a casually leaked inference on a Sunday moring news show, information and misinformation has a huge impact on how we view our world, and the spin doctors are at the peak of their game.

Space existed before the Universe?

Bummer. Have you checked out any of the info on indigo children? Most are described as being a bit younger than you, but there's always a transitional phase, right? They are characterized by extreme sensitivity. There might be something of interest to you there.

I had some Lamb's Quarter bread many years ago, made from the ground seeds. Not bad. I didn't realize it was a weed (I was pretty sure it didn't come from sheep). Being an organic vegetable supporter, I will have to look into edible weeds. I see the lack of pesticides and depleted soils as a big plus for including them into my diet. The flavors are pretty exotic as well, I'll bet.

Engineered? Doubt it seriously. Spun heavily to make it easier when Bush decides to invade? Oh yeah. US defense reviewers are already talking about dropping the two-war strategy we've held since the Cold War. Having one big push in Iraq-Iran could still arguably leave us free to fight terrorism and defend the Homeland. And technically, since Bush declared the major combat ops in Iraq over in May of 2003, invading Iran would just be fighting one war. We just have to convince Korea not to do anything bad. Whether or not Ahmadinejad is confirmed as a former terrorist, he will now be indelibly linked to terrorism in the minds of the American public. So I guess spin-doctoring is a form of engineering.

Sorry. Callipygous has it right.

As long as matter exists in motion, yes, but I don't want to derail this thread into cosmology or physics. Since the OP placed this thread in General Mathematics, let's go with infinity as a mathematical representation.

Effects of abnormal Working Memory
Phi for All replied to Kygron's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
Does this mostly affect your short-term memorization, like remembering someone's phone number without writing it down, or do you have problems allocating cognitive resources while doing several things simultaneously? Don't forget! -
And this is why Martin is our newest Expert and makes the really big bucks. Bravo, Martin.

Mathematically, infinity is a representation of a concept. It is not a real number. Temporally, it is time without end (eternity). Popularly, it is the point which must be reached and then transcended by Buzz Lightyear.

I owe you a riddle for not posting that answer in a spoiler tag, so here it is: Before Capt. Richard Burton attemped to discover the source of the Nile, which was the world's longest river?

Opening Post, or Poster. Actually, I think the food crisis is more of a distribution crisis, which makes it an energy crisis. There is plenty of food to go around, it just costs too much to quickly get it where it needs to go. Now if you could use weeds for fuel....

How funny. I typed that reply out while I had two more going. While making another reply I realized how silly I was being. Then I forgot to edit it and posted it anyway. I was going to use a spoiler tag and everything. I'm not multi-tasking too well today. Oh, well, radiohead didn't catch it either, so I'm not the only loon in the bin.

True, but for the OP's purposes, weed means tenacious and capable of growing with little to no maintenance. Perhaps "delicious" is the term we need to define. Taste for various vegetables is often acquired.

Is the speed of light variable in each frame of reference? Goat becomes gnat, but that's changing the second letter to the previous letter in the alphabet. Give me time.
