Actually the "rare earths" while not rare in the strictest sense ore bodies with concentrations large enough to make extraction feasible are rare. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_earth_element

Are you saying that liberals some how manipulated the entire Hollywood film industry into sending out actual lies and disinformation? While i honestly think it's wrong from either side i don't think the liberals ever had or even dreamed of as much control over the message that modern conservative media currently have. I'll admit it might be difficult to look out from inside but i really take great care to not accept information unchallenged, even liberals have a fringe element and if I have to go with reptilian aliens and the NWO to be liberal then i decline membership. The same thing applies to conservatives, can you be conservative with out being a birther or believing in ID? Can we be anything at all if we let everyone else tell us what to think?

Chinese vending machine which dispenses live crabs
Moontanman replied to Moontanman's topic in The Lounge
I don't know what demand is there but here $1.50 is expensive for crabs, little crabs like the ones in the video wouldn't even be sell able. 12 blue crabs, medium sized would be a few dollars depending on the season, $18 a dozen would have to be some pretty big crabs... If this is normal sized plate these are small crabs, medium blue crabs would be about twice as big. -

Chinese vending machine which dispenses live crabs
Moontanman replied to Moontanman's topic in The Lounge
Other than rinsing them off if they are covered in sand you just get a big pot of water boiling, add some spices and a couple beers, I like Guinness, you dump the live crabs into the boiling water. -

I know what i do with live crabs... boil em! -
I would imagine, and this is just my own speculation, that being president gives you a perspective that transcends party lines and allows you to ignore them too.

time shifted repeat posts
Moontanman replied to Moontanman's topic in Suggestions, Comments and Support
No, it's the e-mail notifications, i just received on for your last post in political ethics, that had to be 15 or 20 minutes ago i think. It looks like the time shifting is just 15 or 20 minutes, the ones I thought were hours were e-mails from after i logged off last night but a couple of the double posts were separated as well. I just received another e-mail notification about the same thread. 3 minutes later I just checked it was 45 minutes... -
Ok, as much as I like to poke a conservative with a stick every once in a while i have to agree with this. It's wrong , it's intolerable, partisan media that is! As far as who is doing it best (or worst) I think it depends on your political persuasion, if you are left then it's the right and if you are right it's the left and the further in either direction you go the better "informed" they seem to be about what the other side is doing and how to stop them but no real concept of what they are doing is really affecting the country. I've honestly come to the point where I don't care anymore, it's just wrong, this crap is taking the country places that are fantasy lands, people need to demand this crap stop. The idea that the ends always justifies the means is going to mess us up big time IMHO

Sure, if we can critique them for accuracy, that should be lots of fun...

For some reason i am getting some double posts from sfn and some time shifted posts some with hours between them way after i have already read them.

It's been my experience that both sides will misdirect and mislead... and sadly, blatantly lie. In my adult life I feel that the right is much worse than the left in fear mongering.... in my adult life, i still remember the old H-bomb in the back round commercial. Someone in these forums mentioned it the other day and some really bad memories came back I would rather not have remembered but today and for quite some time the right has crafted this Unsubstantiated fear idea to the level of an art from. I'm thinking of collecting fear mongering e-mails and doing what i don't yet know, but these things change subtly from election cycle to election cycle, some times changing names some times even parties, it's almost like they have some odd kind of life of their own as little details change from cycle to cycle. Some times one document will be inserted into another or parts of one into another, I think it's a weird phenomenon, apes lie to each other, so do we, we just do it for the "right" reasons... BTW isn't Political Ethics an Oxymoron?

Sounds like an old joke, A patient tells his doctor... "I don't eat meat, run around with loose women, drink alcohol, drive fast cars, smoke, or use drugs, will I live 15 more years?" the doc says, "why do you care?" Red tomato! I want to kill something and drag it across an open flame and consume it while enjoying a baked potato and a good beer. that diet would gag anyone who tried to drink it more than a week or two... I once tried a liquid diet, several flavors, the first few bottles went down really well, tasted great, 8 days latter my throat would no longer open up and allow me to swallow the stuff, i gag at the thought of it to this day...

What makes a Portuguese man-of-war a colony?
Moontanman replied to HerpetologyFangirl's topic in Homework Help
I think the idea is that the man o war is made up of different individuals cooperating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Man_o'_War There are other colonial animals Chondrophore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrophore We get both creatures here where I live in the summer, they are thought by some to resemble the first animals with organs which were thought to be symbiotic partners. Don't ever pick one up, they will sting you, it feels like having boiling water poured over you. There is evidence that the colonial organisms exstied as far back as 1.5 billion years ago far before the Cambrian explosion... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francevillian_Group_Fossil -
Where did that brick come from???

Maybe the Chinese military is showing off one of their super silent submarines by test launching a missile so close to the US while the prez is out of town???

I'm on the see food diet, I see food I eat it! No really I live near the coast and seafood is a big thing to me. I fixed a small pot of scallop gumbo for lunch yesterday! I'm thinking of a seafood chowder one day this week, i have the octopus, squid, and cuttlefish for it, just a matter of cooking it now, ever notice how hard it is to make a small pot of soup? Chowder is especially difficult to make a small pot of.

Why Kuiper belt asteroids are no spherical?
Moontanman replied to alpha2cen's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
Actually you are incorrect, main belt asteroids are seldom spherical and many Kuiper belt objects are. The shape of these bodies has do with size. The bigger an object is the more spherical is will become under it's own gravity. The largest main belt asteroid, Ceres, is thought to be more or less spherical the next one down in size Pallas and the next Vesta somewhat less so. the smaller they get the less regular their shape is. A Kuiper belt object would need to be of similar size to be spherical. -
Well the "Seneca" guns off shore where I live have been active the last few days. Mysterious booms off shore, sometimes accompanied by slight ground shaking. This occurs a lot more often than is normally reported, if you spend lots of time on the beach you are likely to hear these "booms" many times a year, not often but occasionally they become so loud people inland hear them as well. It is claimed that Native Americans reported these booms long before jets, or guns... http://www.starnewso...p=1&tc=pg&tc=ar http://earthquake.us...opics/booms.php

If, for instance, Venus, Earth, and Mars all had active biospheres like the earth does you would have the possibility of something on a higher level than one planet. If the ideas around transfer of materials from one planet to another are correct then you might get all three planets with the same biosphere, it could be called the solar biosphere (for want of a better name) but if each planet had a separate genesis for it's life forms then you would have three biospheres in one solar system. It remains to be seen if there is any other life in the solar system other than the Earth but, if found, it's resemblance (or lack there of) to life on Earth would be very interesting.

yes but then comes the anti-anti phtoshop soft ware and the anti-anti-anti photoshop software and so on...
