  1. If they aren't jpg, they are most likely saved as gif of bmp
  2. Anyone who can do a flag has my respect. It looks hard!
  3. Clearly the solution to the AC problem is to package and ship cold air from Alaska down to the rest of the states
  4. I agree with offense on 1-4, particularly the part about globalisation of production. In addition to monetary policy Chinese wages have been changing recently in large part due to their 1-child policy and the resulting shrinking labor force
  5. No, the fact that he is American doesn't mean anything to me. He is a politician. Politicians lie and twist facts to suit their aganda. I agree with this, I don't view politicians as a good source of information. Politics aside though, I think the scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports the view that humans are the major factor contributing to greater amounts of carbon in the atmosphere and thus an temperature increase
  6. I'm with Tarz on this one I've been patted down and searched at the airport before and it doesn't bother me at all, it just makes me feel safer
  7. I think one thing to consider is that when labor's wages are raised through consumer pressure or unionization, then management has a stronger incentive to automate labor. This means that there will likely be a smaller number of total jobs, but the ones that exist will probably pay better and require greater skill. This also leads to the dilemma of whether a smaller number of better paying jobs, or a greater number of lower paying jobs leads to the greatest good.
  8. I've thought a lot about it too, and ultimately I've chosen to be in support of buying goods from the poor countries. There are downsides to this (i.e. rampant child labor in some places, lack of environmental regulations). But in the end I think most laborers in 3rd world production shops are there because their alternatives are even worse. And I tend to think that a successful boycot of products produced by foreign non-union labor would put a lot of people in a worse position.
  9. Whoa 34.5 lbs I think this is one the best food pic threads on here
  10. Yep you spelled it right. The vegan hot dog stand is good eh?
  11. Welcome to the 1000 club. You got here really fast. As you can see, I joined the site in 1970, so it took me a few decades to get to 1000+ posts
  12. I usually rinse canned beans, it makes them a lot less salty
  13. I still haven't seen Hercules in New York. I give Conan the Barbarian the rating as best Arnold movie
  14. Add oatmeal to your diet! It's cheap, healthy, high in calories
  15. Who is going to protect me from the squirrel's in squirrel hill? 2308 Murray Avenue if you're ever in town. Yeah I think if you wear a yamika around there the squirrels will leave you alone I used to live one street over from Murray, on Shady Ave near Frick Park
  16. My favorite is vertical situps w/ dumbbell behind your head
  17. I just listed more Omega Zen, and lowered the price by another dollar http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110026276397
