240v wiring is common in Canada and the US, just not all outlets, and until recently not usually in garages. I expect 240v outlets in garages to be more standard in the future.

But, creepy or no, posting on a public forum and not using throwaway accounts and then being surprised that people actually reference your posting history is hopelessly naive.

Canada is a good candidate for orbital launches, but those require more fuel per kg of payload.

The cello work in Barenaked Ladies' The Flag is so soothing for such a sad song.

They are a better source than anything you've provided, yes.

You're right, Wikipedia is a terrible primary source, because it isn't a primary source. So, while you should never reference it in a paper or dissertation, the sources it references are perfectly valid. The good news is, I'm not writing an essay or dissertation, and I don't have to follow the correct rules for those. I did you the favor of clicking two links deeper (it took about a minute) and finding the information where they talk about all those cases that the judges totally threw so they could force you to pay illegal taxes. Now, I can't make you turn that link purple, but if you do you might get the other side of that argument that you apparently haven't stumbled across in your decades of examination. Good luck.

Sorry, saw your response just after I had posted the same in response to his comment.

There is no historical agreement that the earth is round, but guess what?

When the second argument that is listed in Wikipedia is that Ohio doesn't count when it had been a state for over a century before the amendment was proposed, I start to think these arguments are specious at best. It seems every judge the case had gone before agreed with that stance, which also sounds like historical agreement to me. Given the amendment was proposed due to the Supreme Court overturning income tax as unconstitutional, it also appears the courts were more than willing to rule against income tax prior to this supposedly dubious amendment.

Do you have any evidence that is stronger than the Obama birther conspiracies?

What do you mean by questionable circumstances?

Space is almost free, and it's a good cue to what you're going to find. It's how I tell my PerfectDark posts apart.

Colossal was weird, but i liked it. I could see where people would be thinking, what is this and why am I watching it, but it felt like real life to me. For a movie about monster avatars unwittingly being controlled from half a world away, anyway.

Tap for spoiler"You're gonna die screaming and I'm gonna watch" will never not be a badass line, and "I propose that whatever he is trying to dislodge is either gone for good or there to stay" will never stop amusing me.

I wouldn't say those are definitely the best lines in the movie, but probably top 5, definitely top 10.

Looks like we found someone who believed it was financially necessary for the manufacture of the shuttle to be spread across the country.
