COLLECTIVE MADNESS
“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Rufus,
ReplyDeleteW/no tillage, does that mean they'll be building up the soil at the same time?
Whit, they're leaving up to eighteen tons of peaches/acre laying on the ground in Ca. They can't get them picked.
ReplyDeleteI would guess you're talking about 2,000 gallons of ethanol/acre. Laying on the ground. Thousands of acres.
It's better than that, Doug. Switch grass stores it's carbon deep in the ground. When you burn ethanol produced from switch grass you actually "Remove" CO2 from the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteDoug, if you actually harvest the grass at ground level I think you Would gradually deplete the soil; I'm not sure. A smart farmer (most of them are) would find the proper technique for growing the grass, and maintaining the integrity of the soil.
ReplyDelete"I'd Rather Switch Than Fight!"
ReplyDeleteSo, we go to California and vacuum peaches off the ground. Peach Gold!
ReplyDeleteCalifourniaaa or Bust!
That's been part of the problem. Carbon sequestration. Switch grass does it for us.
ReplyDeleteThere's some reasonably priced land in central Georgia.
Gas can be prohibitively expensive to professional stoners, as picking up stuff when the tanks on E can preclude you from taking the risk to drive to the Sheetz or Giant Eagle later on. Delivery becomes an option, what with the proliferation with campusfood.com, but wandering the halls of a supermarket and admiring the rainforest's worth of consumer goods is a transcendent experience to the high.
ReplyDeleteBut the E-tank situation means stonership becomes an ambulatory endeavor. John McCain is said to be sympathetic towards increasing transportation access to the high, stoned or similarly enabled, as it is our minds which write the best IMDB posts and film class essays that our professors have probably ever seen.
Yeah, here they used to burn the Cane.
ReplyDeletePretty difficult stuff to deal with, not sure how much is still burned.
Always fun when the Tourists thought a Volcano was eruptin over them thar hills!
I'm interested in small, farm-sized stills. I think in the future farmers will produce their own fuel. It just seems like a natural. I'm, actually, thinking about leaving retirement to work on it.

ReplyDeleteSausage is workin on Cartoon Sequestration.
ReplyDeleteTortured Humor.
Perpetual Perversity Unleashed.
ReplyDeleteWhit, in your normal ethanol refinery approx one lb of CO2 is produced for every gallon of ethanol. If that CO2 was released back into the atmosphere it would be okay, because it would be taken back in by the next crop. It would be "Neutral."
ReplyDeleteHowever, more and more of that CO2 is being sold to domestic oil companies and used to flood old oil fields. Of course, that CO2 is sequestered pretty much forever. So, your standard ethanol production cycle is slightly positive for CO2 reduction; switch grass just takes it considerably farther.
if I put wretch in one of these here cars, what would he be lolin at? truth? fastidiousness? democrats? dr?
ReplyDeleteSausage and I concentrate on Methane Production as our part of the War Effort.
ReplyDeleteim gonna blush right through my casings, doug :D

I think Habu and teresita are in Bora Bora together. Teresita thought she would see what it was like and invited Habu. Habu got an immediate hard on cause he thought she was taking him to Tora Bora.

Maybe Teresita has simply transcended space and time, having become bored with it. A simple query of the universal quantum computer and she was off to queueless threading into the beyond.
ReplyDeletePhallus-esque GUI in blog comment threads reminded her of the more sophisticated sapphic dimensional spaces in the universe. Some would think her matrioshka brain would open a "worm" hole; she'd just laugh at our sexually-constrained string theory reasoning as she de-materialized and became pure energy, dissolving into an incomprehensible world with all the quiet elegance one would expect from a post-female life form.

ReplyDeleteI think Corker will win it Buddy. He's running a really strong border ad right now, and if it's an example of his organization he'll do fine. They're, also, running a very strong anti-Ford ad.
ReplyDeleteHe's going to have an UnGodly amount of money, and Ford is non-caucasian. I would put it 7-5 Corker.
More like X-rated HTML.
ReplyDeletedoug, seriously, just listen to her siren songs - just make someone tie you to the desk first
ReplyDeleteyou can guarantee there are at least 3-5% that will lie to a polster and not admit they will vote against Ford for racial reasons.
ReplyDeleteI told you I appreciate Links, Deuce!
ReplyDeletethe only thing I hear about Ford is on the Imus show, and Imus gets damp talking to him.
ReplyDeleteSausage is the only one with the "guts" here to hear those mp3s.
ReplyDeleteI'm workin up to it.
Duce, Tn is an "Open" seat. Corker is a Businessman, not a professional politician.

Have you checked Blogger Help/FAQ?
2164,
ReplyDeletei dont understand what you mean it wont work on a mac
you mean the < a > tag fails? its not a mac or safari thats the issue is my first impression. where are you creating these links? in the wysiwyg editor?
Man that Bout was a Dict Bender!
ReplyDeleteTeresita can Benda Dict.
I tried doing the tags and no luck. I looked at the help and they said their were some problems with safari that they were working on. I assums that as quickly as you get them up there must be some tool you use, that I do not see.
ReplyDeletewalk me through this. say I am typing and want to link to the BC, what do I do?
ReplyDeleteWhere is the wysiwyg editor?
ReplyDeleteYou start by Genuflecting to the Cat.
ReplyDeleteI think I burned a bridge too far.
ReplyDeletegoogle [hyperlink], 2164, and check out the wiki entry.
ReplyDeleteHow do you spell wysiwyg?
ReplyDeleteIs it pronounced phonetically?

I will do it now buddy. standby.
ReplyDeletewell, you have two interfaces in blogger
ReplyDelete-the what you see is what you get one
-and the html "code" one.
if the insert link button with the chain and globe on it is not working in safari (is that what you're saying), you need to follow the similar syntax, which is basic W3C specifications that safari apparently follows much closer than IE:
< a href='linkypoo'>nameoflink< /a>
note, remove spaces on the left of the first "a" and left of the second "a" - blogger has issues with writing tags as i understand it
is that what youre doing?
view the html of your post and see if it follows that syntax
Stuff it Sausage!

ReplyDeleteNow he Senses Turdstinkin.
2164, if you fail at links, Teresita is better than you. sry :/
ReplyDeleteHas godaddy got a good rep and record?
ReplyDeleteI keep getting the message that HTML cannot be accepted: tag is broken
ReplyDeleteemail your links to kittycatmeowmeow@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteand i can return an html thing you just cut and paste that will work - would it make sense for EB to create a workflow for link aggregation? id happily aggregate and assemble a neat list daily based on submission with one line explanations/editorials to accompany - its normal weblog behavior you dont often see at the BC
you can post via email, you know? you could simply email those links to the email youd setup for your blog and blogger would render them with < a > markup i believe
did you include the > after the .com'
ReplyDelete?
or your final < /a> tag?
I'll go to the apple store in the morning and see if they can assist me.

ReplyDeletesausage, if you have some ideas on customizing the site. welcome aboard!
ReplyDelete2164,
ReplyDeleteCant you use the globe with the chain link icon on that toolbar you use to post?
This button is immediately RIGHT of the italics button. click it, insert link in the popup and then insert your text (that will be underlined indicating Link Is Here!) between the > and < tags.
OR
If you are really hax0r, you will select the text you want to use as your link text and click that icon and then insert the link in the pop-up window.
That is the problem, in safari there are only two icons on the tool bar, spell check and an upload button for images. nothing else.
ReplyDeleteOk, I sent you a gmail. It renders fine in gmail. Im screenshoting it and imageshacking it just in case. Image forthcoming

ReplyDeleteProblem solved. the buttons are displayed in firefox.
ReplyDeletethe next post I do will be under firefox. now you guys are in real deep shit.
ReplyDeleteAh - does that provide the globe option?
ReplyDeleteNOTE: tag broken means you are not "ending" the link properly - thats blogger detecting the error - otherwise itd go through and all subsequent text would become the hyperlink...
is it the right slash? no spaces just plain old < /a> (minus space :/ )
great idea--repro it in 'paint', then send as a jpeg. want me to?

As in redirect from here to elephantbar.com or from elephantbar.com to here?
ReplyDeletefor posting I will do it in firefox. It does not look as elegant as safari, but it seems to function fine.

ReplyDeleteIf you want to get a bit fancy, you can use Flock (fancy firefox), which allows you to instantly blog about a given site, image etc and it integrates to blogger.
ReplyDeleteI use wordpress at the moment and so im kept from using this feature. Something to think about - no coding needed - just patience to learn what to click etc
think of it as a "front end" to your blog i guess - one as easy to use as any internet browser basically.
flock.com
Does anyone object to me trashing this post when we are done?
ReplyDeleteon blogging in flock
ReplyDeleteIf you think you found a hilarious or scandalous article or even an image of note, you can easily click and blog it with added commentary - and of course its uploaded to your blog already incase you want to add onto it or edit it later. Cool capability...
I could also do it in .mac
ReplyDeletesausage, i will make an appointment with apple and discuss the .mac capability. i will let you know what i find.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, you really only need a redirect if you have a huge following - just post the new link in a post and people will click and theyll remember.
ReplyDeleteI figure youre more concerned about transferring old posts to the new site? that can be done pretty easily - im just looking for the specific instructions.
here's the official blogger directions for transfering stuff from here to there
ReplyDeletethanks for your help gents. i am off to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI've been down the "fashionable" front end side of blogging (Oh textpattern! Oh Drupal! Oh wordpress!) - it leads nowhere -blogger is pretty capable, especially blogger beta that allows tagging etc which for the longest time was not there and a real disadvantage.
ReplyDeleteunless you are an apple employee, im not sure i see a huge incentive for .mac - thats all.
Is there something you want to do that blogger wont let you?

ReplyDeleteWent to a conference Monday night at the CO School of Mines. One of the speakers put a 40 lb. bag of wood pellets on the table = $3.79/bag. Then he put eight 5-lb. bags of wood chips on the table at 3.99/bag. New lable = 8X.
ReplyDeleteThen he showed slides of the devastation the "pine beetle" has done to CO forests. His estimate is that 600,000 acres are dead tress that need to be thinned.
He asked why these dead trees couldn't be made into wood pellets, which burn cleaner than wood or coal in stoves that don't need chimneys, and can be burned on "Red" (no-burn) days, here in CO. Any loggers in the group?
The issue with so many "system perturbations" is that the solutions are out there, rationally designed and persuasive.
ReplyDeleteThe problem lies in executing them and integrating them with everything else.
A widget isn't anything if it its a widget drawing, or even a widget proof of concept. You need to have a widget factory.
Or rather, you need to have a method for quickly making a Widget 2 factory when Widgets are found to cause cancer or is destroyed by Muslims.
And when Widget 2's fail, you need to rapidly setup and distribute Widget 3's. The issue is no longer production, per se, but rate of creating producting: capacity generation or something.
There are so many darned energy solutions out there, its just a matter of integrating them all, and setting up new ones when something happens with the old ones.
"Plug and play" is perhaps the best term for the ideal.
