    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    Nah, I'm pretty sure any fire department worth a shit keeps an inventory of potentially dangerous buildings/plants so they don't walk in to a dynamite factory without knowing it. Then again, that might make too much sense for Texas.

    lol, you know what's far more likely? The idiots in your friend list will just send you a shitload of links to truther websites, thinking that you're about to join their ranks. Dang, I was gonna go with radical Sikhs. They even have towels on their heads and occasionally blow up airliners!

    Hey Lumie, Why didn't the world end in 2012?

    Actually some of those others ones are from 2006, so 7 years ago. Dunno what board they're from, not FOH obviously. I wonder what his definitely of "little time" is, anyways. It's both sad and amusing that he believes that shit with all of his heart, and there's so many people like him that...

    Are you new to hockey? That shit happens all the time. In fact I'd say most diving penalties are accompanied by the other player also being called, because an infraction did happen, but the diver decided to embellish it anyways. New to hockey? Or just stupid? Take your pick.

    The Beer Thread

    Fuck me, brew pub messed me up last night. 72 beers on tap, most of them with far more alcohol in them than usual. Seven or eight pints and I was fucking loaded. The below list doesn't have the 10 rotationals they had on tap as well, which is mostly what I went with. Mill Street Original...

    It's more guarded than you think these days, if only to stop drug smuggling and the like. You don't need giant fences to detect people trying to cross the border, they have plenty of other means from drones to seismic sensors. I would imagine that security at the border has been significantly...

    Jesus christ, you're talking about the bridge that is supposed to take some load off the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, one of the busiest border crossings on the fucking planet. Yeah, I'm sure he's headed there. Great idea.

    Actually yeah. Believe it or not, Canadian border security tends to actually be even bigger cunts than the TSA. When going to the US or elsewhere generally it's far easier to get in to wherever my destination is than it is to get back in to Canada. He wouldn't get across the border in the first...

    heh, are you new to Daft Punk? Let's not forget that most of the songs on Homework comprised the same sample, beat, or whatever over and over and over again. Look at Around the World.

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    I can't really comment much on the first two, but I wonder if Maddow even knows what a "firewall" is. Depending on the buildings codes and the type of building, that probably doesn't mean a damn thing. Apartment buildings have dozens of firewalls (each suite would be it's own fire compartment)...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    heh, no, might be a good idea. This is a press release of it. I don't really know how to value a business, but it does mention sales and EBITDA there. He might have been thinking on the high side, at a glance. Another article figures it was worth about 60 million unless they overpaid, so he only...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Heh, just texting a bit with a friend this morning. He'd worked with a company that supplied various equipment to oil sands companies for several years. He was an engineering by training, and had worked his way up in to management. He was in fairly close with the owner, and had been working...

    I for one am shocked. Shocked and appalled. Lebowski reference confirmed! I don't know about health insurance, but I think it's pretty common for many auto, life and commercial liability insurance policies to specifically exclude acts of terrorism. No, it's been stated several times that once...

    Yeah, two lumber mills have gone kaboom in BC in the past couple years because of dust. They were both leveled, whether by the initial explosion or subsequent fire. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...d-sawmill.html You don't even need a fire or open flame to trigger an explosion in...

    Hey Lumie, Why didn't the world end in 2012?

    Lumie was already hedging his bets early in 2012, saying that the world wouldn't end immediately, the end times would just start around then, a bunch of events would happen but they might be hidden by the powers that be or media or whatever, so on and so forth. Like I've said before, it's well...

    That's the point I was going to make. It's kind of a chicken and egg thing. The East has more guys in the top 10 or 20 goal scorers, but the West is generally a tighter checking, more defensively oriented conference.

    heh, the bud I had mentioned before on that flight was told by one of the attendants that he could take a full empty row to himself up near the front once the plane was in the air. So he did that, but then some whitetrash couple wanted to sit in the other two seats with him, because they had...

    Gun control

    Care to offer a citation for this claim? Keep in mind that you have to eliminate those involved in high risk lifestyles in the other countries as well. The vast majority of homicide victims in any country are going to be shady characters, whether by lifestyle or, heh, skin tone. The Somalis love...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Depends on the airline, some are worse than others. Charters to sun destinations are the worst. My bud is 6'5" and it was kind of hilarious to see him try to fold himself in to his seat when we were heading back from Jamaica a few weeks ago. I'm 8" shorter than him and even for me there wasn't...

    The bigger concern isn't time, but time of year and location. Maybe they've made some big advances in their mobile ice plants, but I can't see how they can successfully pull off an outdoor game in California at any time of the year. And Vancouver is risky as shit given how much rain they ah shit...

    Nah. The mailbox and tree are on either side of it are untouched. Even if it was directional, which is doubtful, it would have hit one or the other. I highly doubt whoever built this was using a shaped charge. By definition, if it was in a pressure cooker, it wasn't a directional blast. The...
