'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I love it. Clearly, we should sit up and watch it and drink Fernet one night. Yes.
Hey, I'm going to be in your part of town (-ish) tomorrow night; a friend of mine are seeing Ty Barnett at the Punch Line. I was thinking if you're not busy I could stop by for a bit afterward. It bothers me that I go months without seeing people who are actually geographically close to me.
I sincerely hope that PC is not trying to bogart the Fernet.

Crap. Also, who's the "loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou" poet?

Occluded?
You're occluded!

Or when the Magic 8-Ball tells you to ask again later....

This whole damn court is occluded!
Actually, I am occluded. Well, a vein in my left eye is, anyway....
I just saw this in the Hybrid Car Q&A column today:
A variety of reputable investigators have concluded that 85-90 percent of energy use and global warming emissions attributable to a vehicle over its entire lifecycle come from operation. Only 10-15 percent is production and disposal. This is true for both hybrids and conventional vehicles.
In order to achieve a net reduction in per-mile global warming emissions, (i.e. to offset the additional emissions from manufacturing and disposing of another vehicle) the new vehicle will have to get 10-20 percent better fuel economy than the old vehicle.
