I mean, supposedly some lightsabers were built in a cave. They probably used whatever was on hand, and I'm thinking screws are more common in rubbish strewn pits and rankor caves than welding machines.

No, think of it from the same point. On standard time, the sun would be setting at, let's say 1642 hours. If on daylight savings time, the sun would be setting at 1742 hours.

So maybe we could do the other thing that scientists have been saying, and make school start later. Obviously just one of the things that would need to be fixed, because school is currently a glorified daycare (because both parents are working, yay) and changing the times would fuck up parents' lives.

Well now the original premise is being changed... Don't take away dragonrider's potential future with tridecanonillion dollars! Sextillion is also a very fun word to say in the halls of power.

Slight myth there. It was not the intended purpose, but a sort of happy accident. The original patent stated it was a perfect, never damaging thing. See here and the reply here.

I mean, dragonrider thinks that people will have a billion dollars, and the rich will have a trillion, but dragonrider thinks that the rich will have quadrillions by that point. Maybe dragonrider will even get to start using all those idle game terms like quintillion, or decillion.

Yep, they (almost) literally wrote the book. I found their manual super useful when trying to deal with jerk articles that only post portions of their results. I don't care that it's "bad practice" to post raw data, it needs to become the standard.

You found the fifth? I keep having trouble with my #10s. Sneaky little buggers.

She won't see a day in jail

Interesting, interesting... I wonder where people are when they get a $100,000.00 bond...

I live in an area so red that if you saw it you'd say it was bleeding. The people here always, and I mean always, talk about how wrong it is for someone to act as a vigilante, and murder is wrong, and the insurance companies might be not-the-best, but it's no excuse... bla bla bla. They think the woman here is in the wrong, and don't even care.

See the recent slew of posts about the new york times for the conservative take on the issue.
