Dont do it. You'll probably burn it.

 

[Love]

Well I don't know if it will explode if I don't know it's name, it's probably a crap american brand so yeah: Don't do it. It will probably explode.

 

[LucyDuke]

whats the scientific name for hallucinogenics?

Hallucinogens. Any other name has different meanings. Not all hallucinogens are psychedelic. Not all hallucinogens are stupendous. All hallucinogens are psychoactive, but not all psychoactives are hallucinogenic.

If ice cream has been sitting on the counter an hour or so is it safe to re-freeze it?

Does it have chocolate syrup on it?

Go ahead.

Have there been any instances in Civ 4 of AI's using nuclear weapons against each other on their own?

Wouldn't you be better off asking that in the CIV forum?

Who's right here?

Spoiler :

[Other Person complains about only being able to go to one TPATH show this tour and that she may not get the best tickets, blah blah blah]

And nobody's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to go to the show. I don't think you need a good seat every-time.

Actually I do! And when you fork over money to join the fan club you not only expect it but should get it

You're really that privileged that you "need" a good seat?

[Another person comes in and says that even though she had crappy seats it was still a very good experience]

Yes, otherwise it's not worth going. You wouldn't know about any of that of course.

Hah! You're spoiled, aren't you? Nobody's telling you to go. And you know what I'd give for a crappy seat?

And you are an annoying, silly little girl.

Good. You're an annoying, silly adult.

Who's right here?

you are

 

[LucyDuke]

Who's right here?

Nobody.

 

[Lord Baal]

The mere fact that they want to go to a Tom Petty show makes them both, by definiton, wrong.

If you want a serious answer, the other person is clearly an idiot. But you should have just shrugged your shoulders and moved on as soon as it became obvious they were not worth arguing with. Advice I wish I took myself more often on these boards.

Is it illegal to smuggle Canadians into the United States of America?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I'd think so if they didn't have a passport.

Question: My mom says when she was a kid, one of the students in her class fell asleep in class a lot and couldn't prevent it. Is there a name for this?

 

[Turner]

Narcolepsy.

 

[Cutlass]

Is it illegal to smuggle Canadians into the United States of America?

Yes, but there are probably 100s of places you could do it. Oddly, the other direction you can just go past the border station and answer 1 or 2 questions and not even give your name.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Probably an obvious question:

I'm watching this short Tom Petty documentary from 1986. And part of it involves him driving a car around Gainesville. However, while he's driving, he says something about applying for a driver's license.

Just after 2:20:

What exactly is going on here?

 

[Cutlass]

He was probably driving without a license. Lots of people do that. Either that, or he was joking.

1. Is Russia the only country with mobile nuke launchers?

2. If someone or a website says that a particular ICBM has "global range", what do they really mean by that? Do they mean that, for example, once launched from Siberia can go all the way to Antarctica?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

1. Is Russia the only country with mobile nuke launchers?

Really any country with a SCUD has a potential nuclear missile launcher. I assume you're excluding aircraft and submarine-borne warheads?

2. If someone or a website says that a particular ICBM has "global range", what do they really mean by that? Do they mean that, for example, once launched from Siberia can go all the way to Antarctica?

Probably. Why do you think many of the Cold War era silos are hiding in rural Missouri and central Siberia?

 

[say1988]

1. Is Russia the only country with mobile nuke launchers?

I assume you mean mobile, land based ICBMs?
Russia and China both have them.

All 5 nuclear power states also have submarine-launched ICBMs.
