Another young person who can't grasp that if you're trying to sell an idea you don't plaster it with music that makes people dive for the off switch.
Came across another the other day - can't remember what for, though that may be a function of age rather than of being put off by the racket.

I presume the reason he found it easier is the advances in avionics that do a lot of the fine jiggling for you.

I'd have to be really convinced of the durability of those tanks in a crash before sitting amid gallons of high-test peroxide.

Still use Cupboard Love in this house.

Nah, that's a Marsbucks - cheap inferior coffee grown on the far side of the moon. Not even organic or fairtrade.

While I'm happy to admire the intentional irony of this, I wonder whether it might go over the heads of some of his intended audience.
Warren Mitchell, who played Alf Garnet in Till Death Do Us Part said that when walking around in public he often got congratulated by people who seemed to think that not only was Alf Garnet real but someone to be admired. He said it was sad that people completely failed to grasp the underlying message of the character; I wonder whether the same might not happen with these guns.

Of course, by then I was very, very drunk.

Nice work if you can get it.

How lovely.
I know they're mass produced, but I used to like the Folio Society bindings when I was little - I guess my brother and sister inherited them.

The link leads to a long column of (albeit fascinating) photos of motorbikes with no further information. Does anyone else find that really unsatisfying?

Shame it's a Hulu clip so only US residents can watch it.

loupgarou - that's the whole point - lava lamps work by having two imiscible liquids which are very close in density. So close that when the waxy one is cool it's more dense than the liquid and when warm it's less dense.
Changing the strength of gravity won't change the /relative/ densities, so as long as there's still some gravity it will work. What would stop it working is an absence of gravity - then there'd be no incentive for the two liquids to move to top and bottom.

You can see the effects of the uneven cooling because of the strong draught on one side.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

It may reduce pressure on elephants for the time being, but by keeping alive the market for any sort of ivory it may well worsen things when this supply dries up.
