I was kicking around the idea of heading to the nearest solar system and figured it would take a very long time unless I set the cruise control at 100 C or so.

My question is, at a G force I am likely to survive, assuming I am a Navy combat pilot, like 9 G's, how long would it take to accelerate to 100 times the speed of light? Or any other speed benchmark in that neighborhood?

Seriously, screw it. Make it illegal. Far to many idiots do ridiculous stuff (killing many people) because they believe a fairy in their freakin mind wills them to? What in the hell is wrong with you people? Maybe there is a God but perhaps we should practice our religions in our homes.. hidden from the public. That way when a religious nut appears in public we can just put one between his / her eyes and call it a day. ..pfft, idiots.

open letter to google.

i use you because its no frills, simply works, search engine. i do not want to customize it, i do not want mail, i do not want anything.. just a blank box to type stuff in. that is all. fix it.

my homepage is somethig else now. someday i hope it is google again.

ps for the most part i know you all dont care. i do not care you dont care. that is all.

you may go now.

If I have a 61 inch traditional longbow, what size of string do I need?

Is it an act of war or at least an international incident when a country's constituency can continuously cross a border illegally and commit crimes and the nation in question either does little or can do little? If this were in the middle east, we'd be on it like white on rice right? In the southwest US, meh who cares right? Regardless of immigration opinions, regardless of recent news (fact / or not, we'll see). When does this become a government that obviously can not contribute to a solution?

I have my own opinions on immigration as I'm sure we all do and I think you'd be surprised to hear mine, but that's neither here nor there. There is a law, no one follows it. When do the neighboring countries (ours as well) get taken to task for it?

Also, yes I understand the Texas story is breaking and there is little fact to reply to however, people cross the southern border illegally. Some of those people commit crimes. This is the crux of the issue.

And if I may throw this in here as well, how is it possible a story can break nationally with so few facts? The standards in journalism have fallen off a cliff.

Thanks.

The hole and the rod I need to connect it to are both about 1/4".

Thanks.

When we elect a person to represent us, do we expect them to do what we ask or what is "best" for us?

As stated above^

I read more and more comments here and elsewhere and it would seem apathy has become an epidemic. I have had it since I can recall. I care little for everything. There is no passion in my life. I can experience so many things with disdain, but then... ah... then there is music. Songs by people about people I know nothing about move me to tears. Do I spend this emotional allowance all there leaving me empty in real life or is it the other way around and that music is the only place I live?

Does anyone else have the odd habit of colecting google holiday gifs? If so... do you have any to share or know any cool links?

My furnace keeps poping transformers? I relpalced the wires to the thermorstat. any other ideas?

How can an Associated Bank branch deny cashing a US Treasury check?

Do you think a union has any power?

Do you think our government has gone too far "leveling the playing field"? (Free trade agreements, no tariffs, tax breaks etc..)

What is a sense of national pride worth? (in dollars, 5 dollars 10 dollars etc)

My oppinion, I think there is a legitimate need for unions. I also think in todays world they are nearly impotant. The biggest factor in keeping jobs in the US is a weakening US dollar. Also, the "crappy" US cars built in the US by union labor aren't all crap nor are they all 'designed' by US automakers.

How is it right that a person could work somewhere all their life and after they retire the contract vote away their health care or pension. What are they to do? Go back to work? Die quietly and leave capitolism alone?

What do you guys (Books and Authors crowd) drink while your writing? ...me, usually coffee, sometimes johnnie walker, mostly coffee though.

What kind of music does the books and authors crowd listen to?

Can you just imagine the lost history of the world. Think of all the things previously unknown that were eventualy dug up, like pompei or the shpinx, are there any more you know of and how many more are there waiting to be uncovered. (Does the subject of 'Out Of Place Artifacts' facinate you as much as me?)

If I have sent several rejected, horrible stories to a publishers, (Which I'd like to think I hadn't), will they be less likely to consider subsequent submissions?

Any tips or pointers in writing a query? Thank you.

In writing, do you poll people here? are there other sights as well where I might be able to "run something up the flagpole"?

What do you do when you do what you want?
