I don't think it's just a coincidence that a more efficient engine isn't replacing the standard internal combustion engines either. I'm sure it will become the new standard once it's perfected for cars though, it will just take some time. At least that's what I hope.

I also heard the other day that standard 100 watt incandescent bulbs are going to become illegal to sell in 2012 in the US, to improve energy efficiency. They're only going to sell the lower wattage incandescent bulbs and the CFL lights.

Did you know that each CF bulb has a ball of mercury in it, and it's technically illegal to throw them in the trash? Breaking one requires a haz-mat cleanup

Guess where the dead ones go at work.

It's by Ivolt?

Incandescent bulbs will not be produced after some arbitrary date in 2012. The remaining stock of bulbs will be sold, but no more will be made.

"At work"

Do you have some "Plumber's Guild" office or something?

Also, straight in the trash can.

Makes about 200% more sense.

Well whatever you do, don't disappear for 6 months. Things get all wonky and you don't know what's going on when you come back. Also, we'd all miss ya.

Even worse when you disappear for 4 years.

I feel obligated to respond since people are complete idiots and I feel it necessary to express my disdain.

That really is the only kind of appropriate response to most of those posts.

Actually, someone gave me a high five at the hospital the other day and it was rather strange. It was probably the first time I'd done that since I was about 10 years old.

When I was out at my school thing last month, they had a tour going around the campus of 5th graders. I was walking into the main building to stop by the Tim Horton's to grab a coffee, and as soon as I walked through the doors there was a mass of 10 year olds standing in front of me, and I could get by. But literally as soon as the door closed behind me, one kind looked up at me and said, "High five?"

"... alright! High five!"

bitches don't know, come at me bro, drag likes peanut butter, fuck yeah seaking, lee has three vaginas, lee triple-tosses salad, lee wasn't ready., my nipples hurt, prude is cute, tags are for potty heads, wow ate my soul

ok...

What about peanut butter...?

COSMIC'S RULES OF "IS THIS WOMAN HOT"

1) Tongue piercings are awesome.
2) Lip piercings are awesome.
3) Nose piercings are awesome (unless it's a septum piercing, in which case ewwww)

True, true, and true... but only if it's one of each. Two or more lip piercings = trashy.

I ALMOST DONE AND ITS SO SEXY!!

Better fuckin' submit that shit.

Gauges are disgusting looking.

Search your feelings George you know it to be true.

Checking it now.

Cool, one code exists that you only need to enter the threadid for

They use those in the master lists. Or have just started to, anyways.

it just seems really gross to me. I would never get any other piercings. Also, it should be noted that I think tattoos are disgusting.

And I think you should shove more metal through your face in an attempt to fit into the mainstream, popular crowd, because you have been forced into being "unique" and "nonconformist" by doing the exact same thing that everyone else does when they don't want to appear to follow the main trends.

It's funny how we're all comparing jeans sizes.

I bet if we were women we'd be comparing cup sizes.

I'm rockin' the 32-AAs, here!
Also, I'm about 5'11". Definitely don't win the tallest EP member contest.

Over here you're actually supposed to look over your shoulder instead of relying on the rear view, but that's over here anyways. Don't forget to adjust your mirrors/seat and buckle up too.

Shoulder-checking. Let's you see that pesky blind spot.

When reversing out of a drive way I was always told to turn your head around rather than use the rear-view mirror, not quite the same though.

... how the fuck can you see behind you using just the mirrors?! It's easier to focus your eyes out the back window than it is on your two side mirrors and rearview mirror. I cannot reverse unless I'm looking out the back, 'cause I feel like I'm driving blind with just the mirrors.

Clog unclogged.

Good thing time and a half is almost $25 an hour, or it wouldn't be worth it with these gas prices

Time and a half comes out to ~$25/hour for you?
Fuck, man... my regular rate is $22.30 an hour, and I've still got a couple more raises to make.

[Tassadar]

At current prices, a full tank is like... $250~

But that's 700 miles worth.

Wow.

I doubt it will get anywhere at all but I always thought it was an interesting idea, it looks like a more efficient version of the old established Wankel rotary engine which itself is only in the Mazda Rx-8 I think.

There was talk of EU law banning incandescent bulbs or at least an incentive to reduce their usage. I like CFLs, they also have voltage regulation in them so they actually last much longer compared to incandescent light bulbs. Also they use only about 21watts which is nothing and they last longer.

At work. As in, at my job. We have an office.

Did you think I just roam around a property waiting for someone to flag me down and want something fixed?

[Tassadar]

What is your job Drag that pays REALLy well?

Yeah, I live in a pretty po-dunk area where $16.59 an hour is actually a good wage.

[Tassadar]

Also was your name Methamphetamine?

[Drageuth]

What is your job Drag that pays REALLy well?

Meat cutter.

Also, I work at a supermarket that has a union. That helps, too. Top rate is $24.06/hr (which anyone on the food side of the store can make, even cashiers). Once I get my journeyman papers, my rate will be $26.35/hr

PeaNUT Butter, figure it out.

I was gonna say how you're mean for calling out sprung, but holy shit you make ~$23/hour cutting meat? Fuck, I'm in the wrong line of work...
