I hate this talk about global warming because it's just a smoke screen for big dollars to keep on consuming. Global warming this, global warming that, and therefore we must build more nuclear plants. Puck that.
The real problem is pollution which actuall isn't included in global warming talk. The reason to build more nuclear power is that we wouldn't be dependent on fossile fuels. So that we could maintain our energy usage level even when oil is gone. Wtf? Best way to fight environmental disasters is to consume less. Use less energy. Nuclear waste is still waste and pollution even if it's buried out of sight.
Global warming is currently just a political punch-line which allows politicians to look and sound important without requiring them to actually think about anything. And people buy it. Of course. People don`t understand what`s going on so they trust politicians. Politicians dont know jack either, so they trust lobbyist/corporates.
As a solution to global warming and energy crisis (which seems to have been consistent situation from the beginning of industrial ages) the building of nuclear power plant farms is always offered. Why couldn`t we just save energy? Is it necessary to keep the lights on when nobody is in room? Is it necessary to run factories 24/7 even when there`s no actual need? Is it really necessary to drive two kilometers to work when walking would be cheaper, faster and good for health?
Situation is same in everything. Coding for example. Always new code is added on top of older and very rarely the whole code is redesigned with much more optimal methods.
If our factories use too much energy, then optimize them instead of providing more and more energy to them, but noooo. Shareholders have to have maximum profits all the time, so no chance of upgrading the energy effectiveness.
Global warming is serious issue, but it is mainly used as a smoke screen. If you really want to know, if you really care, then dig deep into it and figure things out. You don`t like what you find out. No one important knows anything and no one is admitting it.

SID :lovies3d:
Naturally "pure" sid-version is better, because mp3 is just an approximation whereas the sid is exact.
HW sid player would be nice, but I don't feel like ripping the chip from my workhorse.

I liked my Guinness warm but not quite in room temp. Cold Guinness had no flavor and was too easy to drink. The bitter, the better.
These finnish pale lagers has to be consumed ice cold, so that the awfulness isn't tasted.

Money can't cure sadness. It's a stigma that sticks.
Future could be only a wide variety of possible pasts. Past is a possible past that happened.
Maybe the reason is to look for a reason.

Of course, stupid me :doh: One should never work and post at same time..
Umm, there are other factors that affect the lock up of tires, you know?
Why? Magazines come out sometimes month before they're due. Next years car/bike models can be bought this year, etc.
Anyhoo, I choose this one.
It's always easier and cheaper for companies to produce stuff that uses old school fuels (and technologies for that matter). From what I've gathered in 27 or so years, nothing will ever truly change until something horrible and irreversible happens suddenly. I believe oil will be pretty much used up until substitutes can realistically take over.
Oh, and when substitutes are mainstream, it's better not to think that it's all for clean environment. No way. Nature is still suppressed by human, as it has been for few centuries. That really sucks. Money can live in clean and healthy environment, and care not for others.
(Sorry about the hijack, but I just got to work and am still *bit* tired. :tired: How tired would I be if I've taken a bus instead of cycle..)

Somehow those to quotes don't fit...
How can one be into machines and not notice their broken souls when they are discarded? 
Constant 360's (or Lutzes) around the speed skating track (let's say 1000 meters)?
Ooh, the next lap was pure gold.
Truth may be that sometimes the duel is lost in failing to drive few corners effectively. Defending depends hugely on the position of the track. I think the main defensive weapon is the knowledge about track and car. It's stupid to take any other line than the "best" racing line in some places, but for some curves (quite many actually) ad hoc lines usually work pretty well.
I love making the car as wide as possible without jerky sharp line changes. The defensive line starts from a turn and is pretty much choosed before that or in it. I'm quite static and erratic when defending my position, and sometimes that's just enough. Most of the times my strategy envolves counter striking. It's always easier to put pressure on the racer in front, so I usually "force" the compatitor to make foolish passing attempts or I just let them by and begin to pressurise.
Contacts are no-no. Intentional contacts are disapproved and accidents/mishaps are embarassing.
Defending position for several laps is quite an adrenaline rush, but constantly fighting for position through several position changes is the rush.

Especially after eating toast in bed. All the crumbs!
Strength man! That's one craving that'll make you feel much worse if it comes true.

Longboarding (20-25% of downhill cruising, 40-50% of pushing and rest is walking uphills to steep to push) during spring, summer and autumn. Winter sucks.
