Why is extinction a bad thing?
I've been asking that for thirty years. If a species is too dumb to adapt, oh well.
What, does someone think the saber-toothed tiger had the cure for cancer?

I just realized if you take the recommended adult dosage of children's cough medicine (mmm, grape) a bottle lasts about one day.
Put a sweatband on my head and spray some sweat stains on my T shirt, I might fool some into thinking its Gatorade...

Al Gore can explain climate down to a tenth of a degree hundreds and thousands of years ago.
This film is made with atoms and is magnified a hundred million times so we can see it. I have no idea how it's made or how they magnify it.
So tell me, which one of us is totally full of crap?
I'm sure he'll post more when he gets back from the beach, or gets out of his chair, whichever comes first.

One decade ago, putting on DEET...especially on children, was akin to swimming in your toilet, and was compared to child abuse.
Now...use DEET! If you don't...you should be locked up!
I never stopped wearing it, because I knew full well those insisting it would kill me had a financial incentive to sell creams and sugar water that don't work. There are millions of Africans who would say the same thing about DDT...if they were still alive, having died from malaria. The best we can do is these stupid nets, which work badly, I suppose, until you roll over, or they tear.

David emails in this link about CO2 having a cooling effect.
I've said several times much of the climate debate is self importance...people who insist that a quarter or half a degree in the last century is very important, yet the previous centuries, including those with real weather events, are meaningless.

Roast in the slow cooker. I wonder if it's any warmer in there than it is outside...
And none of them stinkin' bones!
I have had a disappointing couple days,
Clearly not my fault, but society's...
my battery died on my car (luckily, our neighbor is a handy guy who runs a body shop locally). He diagnosed it as the battery and not the alternator last night, so I took it in today and he switched it out for me (we let it charge about ten minutes, and it was just enough to turn over and start).
Al sure is a dirty socialist for someone who hates anything but CAPITALISM! GIVE ME FREE MEDICAL ADVICE BLOG READERS! FREE BATTERY MAINTENANCE! CAT-PEE COUCH ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!
I sat and stood in his shop for about 30-40 minutes, and my freshly washed T shirt was soaked, front and back, when I arrived home.
Stupid skinny people!
Of course, I'm all but positive that was the original battery, so 10-11 years of service is not a bad lifespan. I was told once that hot and cold weather drain batteries, so this latest warm spell likely pushed it over the edge.
FREE MARKET IS ALWAYS RIGHT! SCIENCE IS FOR A-HOLE ELITISTS!
Of course, the weather is no joking matter if you are forced to work outside. Stay hydrated and take breaks, folks. I saw a woman out pulling weeds or something on my way to the shop, and I almost told her to get inside.
Which would have been effective. If an obese tub of crap came up to me telling me to get inside, I wouldn't walk, I'd at least scamper and probably run.
Luckily for her, I realized she has every right to make poor decisions. Mike Bloomberg, I am not.
how the ****ing hell could other people desire to be outside when al wants to be inside.
what the **** people
Wonder if Al's computer is in his basement?
The whole idea of this guy being sweaty just finally put me over the gag threshold.
Wonder if Al's computer is in his basement?
I'd bet on it. I'd also wager the password is GACY.
People making poor decisions and dying young is just the circle of life. Al learned about it on the college campus where he sometimes goes to fall on women.
It's not the heat, it's the humidity.
The Six Degrees of Al...
BREAKING:
Al discloses that he has used PED's. Admits they didn't seem to help.
Very well written piece, though his team has had weeks to do so.Does not mention the substance, though I assume one is synthetic testosterone. Not to disclose too much here, but I have been on this for a year plus, and while it has taken care of its prescribed purpose, eliminated some pain of an unknown cause, it hasn't made me a better athlete or helped me get over injuries (don't forget, a couple weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my back fastening my belt) any quicker. While it has medical purposes, so does cortisone.
........................................
I wonder how badly tall chairs kicked his ass before he started juicing...
It's nice to know that Al totally understands what Braun goes through every day.
al should sue belts for damages
Let the speculation begin as to what al is using his PED's for...
...I'm thinking he's looking ahead to the next winter Olympics. Bobsled perhaps? Rambling Sled? Curling?
nope.
belts are involved
If your freshly washed t-shirt is sweat soaked by simply standing in a battery repair shop for 30 minutes, synthetic steroids probably aren't the missing piece of the puzzle to athletic achievement.
I have linked and discussed Cassy (Fiano here, she writes under her maiden name and her married name Chesser as well) many times in the past. she gets some nice ink here.
The irony is, down syndrome is a very mild birth defect, and those that are afflicted with it are actually in demand in adoption circles because while some families have the time and money to handle a special needs child, many don't have a handicapable friendly home or the desire to provide such care for 18 years.
al is kind of like my father in law. He doesn't require knowledge about a topic to talk like he has knowledge about a topic. Nothing but love and admiration for those families raise a child with downs with love and affection, either through birth or adoption, but to characterize downs as mild is pretty ****ing dumb and far from ironic. I shared this post with two families who are friends, both with a child with downs. The both felt that despite deeply loving their child as much as a parent can, "mild" was just an ignorant (dumbass) thing to say. They though the link was nice, so he's got that going for him.
Having raised a child with "special needs" Al is starting to piss me off.
Autism?
Don't go there.
Had I known what my DNA had in store for me, I would have adopted too.
Al targeting Nathan's next 4th of July developing a special division allowing pie filling as a dipping agent.
was Al taking the cream or the clear? Inquiring minds want to know
in the land of DerpMurica it's possible that standing and walking is considered a contact sport. Might explain all the sweating involved at the battery shop. We all know how physically demanding it is waiting for your car to get fixed so if you need an edge you need an edge
So now Al's physical pitfalls are the faults of belts, tall chairs, bad arches, not crapping all day and the sun.
So, I drove with my left arm out the window for about 45-60 minutes, and tonight, it's all itchy. I think I have looked it up previously and it is called "sun rash"...I get tiny bumps, almost like a rash, and it's really uncomfortable. It would go away after a few days if I ever got tan, but I don't. Mine isn't as noticeable the pic at the link, and it is related to the fact I don't tan in a couple spots (my left elbow being one).
Wait.
Al is white?
Would it even be possible for Al to play baseball? I'd guess even putting the uniform on would be quite dangerous since it involves a belt.
...........................................
Why does neither Prince Fielder or myself ever miss a game?
1. I don't play anymore.
2. You can't pull fat.
Miguel Cabrera is not what I would call, skinny.
Compared to what Al sees everyday in his home, everyone is skinny.
I've missed Al's science takes:
Last night, we were told to expect anywhere from 8-12 inches of snow, starting early this morning...might get some rain just before the snow begins.
Now, almost 4PM...not a flake of snow or drop of rain yet. Forecast calls for "mixed sleet, snow, and rain developing by 5PM. Will change to all freezing rain by early evening, then becoming all snow overnight, 1-3 inches expected."
But you know what? They can, without a shadow of doubt, tell you it was a third of a degree warmer/cooler a century plus ago, and it's all the fault of the industrial revolution.

It didn't snow last night, therefore climate change = hooey.
Easy to post that from San De Mexico.
Our Sconnie friends would agree on climate change-----it's getting colder!
(BTW, I was in Savannah last week-----I had to put on a jacket)
Atlanta has had two major ice/winter storms this winter but nah, that has nothing to do with climate change.
The "polar vortex" movement and severe droughts in the south are just a coincidence too.
Al's leading the derpness charge on this topic but what else is new
When an object large enough to create it's own gravitational field exists upon another object that produces a slightly larger gravitational field, the weather, in scientific terms, doesn't know weather (my pun) to schit or go blind.
This phenomenon is called GrALvity.
I haven't checked in on our friend for a while. Looks like he's been keeping up with his science reading...
I just read today that this is the coldest stretch in November in 130+ years.
Many see this as proof of climate change. If so, that would also mean we had climate change 130+ years ago.
{Actually, we did, many estimate a "mini ice age" ended in the mid or late 1800's, but let's ignore scientific facts for a sec, as we have bigger issues, such as made up weather facts.}
Weather changes. It's effected by the oceans, which are in turn controlled by the moon, which is, as many of us already realize, is clear out there in space. Other planets, the ones we look at through telescopes and all, have huge temperature swings in the same day, which is why they do not have life, as we know it at least.
Considering we live on a planet that had multiple ice ages, centuries and millenniums before the industrial revolution, you would think one would realize that temps ain't stagnant. Of course, if you had their record, you'd be trying to change the subject too.

Found...an entire new species we never knew existed.
Every time they go deep into the jungle/rainforest, they find dozens more, and even tribes sometimes.
But we're 100% positive it's half a degree warmer than it was a century ago, and the cause of it is the Industrial Revolution.
May you live in interesting times.
So climatologists are talking in circles?
Fear mongers! That graph is intended to look scary!
Yes, Al. Finding "an entirely new species" flies in the face of saying the industrial revolution has raised global temperatures 1/2 degree. That's golden corral level reasoning.
If he would just vote for more destruction of rainforests he wouldn't have to worry about all those undiscovered species getting discovered and disrupting the delicate balance in his GI tract. Moran.
You know, I'd gone almost 6 months without even lookin at Al's ****ing blog.
I hate you all.
Every time I read anything from him I feel hungover.
Any time I read anything on his blog, I want to drop nuclear weapons on all of America simply for producing him and a bunch of people like him.
You need a hug.
CAP95, blame Chilli for posting the pic of Al in the x4 insiders thread. I had a moment of weakness after seeing that melon.

All the drama kings and queens telling me it is snowing...a couple flakes of snow in the air is hardly "snow."
When you have accumulation and plows are needed, snap some pics and I'll take note. Until then, you are just pretending your life is somehow interesting because of a very mild climate anomaly.
A skeptic will question claims, then embrace the evidence. A denier will question claims, then reject the evidence.
