Spork don't call me names, for goodness sake, I am just outlining some arguments. To break down the vegas analogy, you are talking cumbersome (to me at least) math against a five or eight deck shoe. I don't think you can do the same tricks against a million year (or billion year) shoe. That's all I ...

How much oil is there? How much is forming right now? How do we know? How much more carbon comes out of cows? A volcano? How hot will it be on June 3, 2018?

That is a positive political, ideological and social goal that can help the world. It is not science, but science proves...

I've enjoyed testing the linecrawler, and played with it at home a bit and when I went kiting a couple of times. The linecrawler was nice to walk out the lines, and better than using a piece of flotsam to keep the ends in order like I used to do. Unfortunately it was only marginally helpful in undoi...

Writing Levine, YouTube GC. BTW guys, quoting me is a touch obnoxious, I feel bad commenting about a child anyway. See above. Grateful if you take out your quotes.

Like monofilm, laminates can be repaired easily with film tapes using a strong acrylic adhesive. 3M 3150 box packing/storage tape works v...
