I go around lopping off the tops of cooking oil bottles? Or selling them at outrageous prices.
Am cleaning. Send help.
Yay, sarameg! Glad for the kitty and that you get to go see your bro's defense.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
all you have to do is hold up pictures of a few raptors that got killed in the blades and you've got a potent photo-op.
Exactly. It's hard to take a moral high ground w/r/t renewable energy if you're causing avian destruction as a part of your operation. Oil spills are a (supposedly rare) accident, and accidents happen.
This is the kind of opposition our/my clients face, and it takes time to find a workable solution.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay sarameg for the kitty and your brother's defense.

Our wings are not tired.
Our company had a luncheon today and Brad Ziegler was the guest of honor. He was very nice and surprisingly funny and disarming. He told some great stories, my favorite of which was that he was totally caught off guard and almost had a heart attack when Griffey Junior came up to him on the field, introduced himself and congratulated Brad on his (then) scoreless streak. All he could respond was, "ugh..uh...Mister...Girffey..I...mean....Junior...I mean...uh...thanks........."
He came upstairs to see our offices later and totally started talking Warriors basketball with me when he saw the Warriors poster over my desk. Awwwww.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and Brad Ziegler was the guest of honor.
Cool! If he goes the rest of the season without giving up a run he'll break Eckersley's record for the lowest ERA for a pitcher with at least 50 innings.

It made me wonder -- do you use the same counting word for penises that you do for bottles and cigarettes, or does that go in a different category?
I don't know, but now that you mention it, wouldn't you theoretically use a different set of numbers for erect penises?
Yay, Sarameg!
There are no completely benign ways to make electricity. My objection to wind and solar power as major sources of electricity is that we still don't have particularly efficient ways to store power for when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine.

Now tagless for your comfort.
horrible day to drive through Chicago. 80/94 East is shut down due to yesterday's flooding. We're trying to get to Indiana.

Can you try 294 to 80 east, Cash?

Modern turbines are large, spin slower and are placed on towers that attract fewer birds and are spaced further apart which also attracts further birds. So you get much less damage than from older wind farms.
But you know what? There is no Kilowatt Fairy, no BTU Bunny. No power source is zero impact. Solar cells on roofs include some stuff that is mined and processed in very toxic ways. Compact Fl bulbs have mercury.
The reason they are better is not that they are zero impact, but that impact is lower, and especially that impact is not such as is likely to bring down our civilization. And that is a good enough reason to support renewables. Fuck purity.
