4:45 pm - Responsibility
|
Ok people, i have a question for you.
What is responsibility to you?
A situation of mine came up, where i was helping out a friend by giving her some cash for a post-dated check, that would bounce if i didnt put the cash into her account.
Now the cash was coming from a paycheck of mine, that being deposited on saturday, even though it was available for pick up on friday, was not cleared through the bank until the day after the check was supposed to clear. Now, where does the responsibility lie, with the person who was trying to put the cash into the others accound, or into the person who's check was going to bounce? Should the person who was putting the cash into the account be liable for the bounced check, even though the banks wouldn't let him withdraw that cash because of a holiday? What do you think should have properly happened to have made this work out?

I am the Cheshire Cat!
You're the epitome of insane. Either you're very smart, or you're too damn stupid. The world is your playground, and everything -- and everyone -- in it is a toy for you to play with. People should be scared of you, but because you're so affable, they aren't. Tough for them.

The Engineer-Builder might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to stick with the plan and get the job done. "If it ain't broken don't fix it." is your motto. You provide structure and stability to your world. Your procedures are predictable and dependable. Your methods are proven and tested. You offer results not surprises. On the positive side, you are practical, just, realistic, pragmatic and rational. On the negative side, you may be dogmatic, rigid, short-sighted, indecisive, unimaginative and arrogant. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.
which medieval vocational personality are you?

11:50 pm - what flavour are you?
|
 Cor blimey, I taste like Tea.
I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?

I Am A: Neutral Evil Halfling Thief Mage
Alignment:
Neutral Evil characters believe in Number One. Their personal gain takes precedance over all else, and they will work with whomever necessary and whatever institutions necessary to further their own goals.
Race:
Halflings are short and fat, like minuature people. (Think 'Hobbits') They enjoy the easy life, but aren't averse to the idea of an adventure from time to time. They get along with all races, and are known for their senses of humor. Halflings also tend to be light of foot, and can move quietly when necessary.
Primary Class:
Thieves are the most roguish of the classes. They are sneaky and nimble-fingered, and have skills with traps and locks. While not all use these skills for burglary, that is a common occupation of this class.
Secondary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.

2:13 am - For a bit less confusion
|
Smoke cannot be a liquid mainly because it is small particulates suspended in air
But the Term Liquid Smoke was developed to describe not smoke itself but the deriviative of what you get when you condense smoke.
Now as to what was being argued.
1. comparitively which term is better
a. Liquid Smoke
b. A liquid with impurities
Now as to why 1b is wrong
1 when you take Liquid Smoke out of context and try to compare it to a scientific term(for unknown reason) it is taking an orange and comparing it to apples, the term was never intended to be defined that way, though yes it is a liquid with impurities.
2. liquid with impurities is to broad, narrow it down.
3. If you do wish to continue to call liquid smoke a wrong name you cannot call you car an RX-7 anymore, nor mazda or a car for that matter, even if its just wrong to you, then you cannot use names and definitions accepted by the public(consumer ones even).
4. The scientific community would accept my term just as readily as your term. **no it is not necessarily a liquid or smoke, but the term is available to describe what you get when you condense smoke**
5. Yes you can define it with far more accurate definitions, it just takes a but more work(what scientific community expect)
5a. By defining it to a higher level of definition i can understand. But a liquid with impurities is not a higher level of definition, it is sidestepping what the substance is by generalizing it.
6. You can use either definition, but the word liquid smoke puts a slightly narrower substance in mind when in discussion, if only for its use of what the consumer product is.
7. a liquid with impurities is again, far to broad, water with dirt poured into it, fits this definition, as well does mtn. dew and dr. pepper, whereas when the term liquid smoke is used, you know you are talking about the derivatives of what you get when you condense smoke.

12:42 pm - a little more clarity
|
~ on one point your liquid smoke is an oxi-moron
smoke being ~ The vaporous system made up of small particles of carbonaceous matter in the air, resulting mainly from the burning of organic material, such as wood or coal.
and liquid which is most definately not a gas,
so yes, perhaps on some obscure scientific level you could say that is wrong(also would be scientific semantics), BUT a liquid with impurities is just as wrong... too broad and the fact that the term liquid smoke was developed to define the substance previously posted, whereas a liquid with impurities can be just about any liquid that is not in a controlled environment.
but by comparing either term we are comparing apples to oranges
A liquid with impurities is like the term car in a way, it fits almost all liquids(or different car types) into that definition, BUT liquid smoke is more like volkswagen where it is for a more specific type of liquid. where you can define it with a higher level of definition, there is no need to.
now im not going to say which term is more accurate, since well you already know which term i know to be more accurate.
Liquid Smoke (as previously posted)
or a liquid with impurities

12:39 pm - Liquid Smoke
|

liquid smoke - Liquid smoke is the condensate that results from pyrolysing natural hardwoods. In other words, hardwood is burned and the smoke is captured and condensed by cooling, much in the same way water condenses on your sunglasses when you breathe on them. The end product is usually filtered to remove tar and other impurities. Liquid smoke is used extensively in commercially packed "barbecue" and "smoked" products, including barbecue sauce, jerky, cheese, and pre-cooked chicken and ribs. For manufacturers, it is an economical way to impart smoke or barbecue flavor to food; products that have been smoked in the traditional manner are expensive to make. Liquid smoke is available at grocers in the United States and Canada, and it can usually be found by the barbecue sauce, or by the bouillon and dry soups in some stores.

11:06 am - the worst day in history
|
what can i say
we have been hit, hard
today is a day that will go down in my memory forever as it could have been some of my family there.
i saw the perfect quote on ltm that matches how i feel ~ "... Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."
John Donne
we need to give power to those responsible enough to use it, not those who will abuse it, and have abused it.
we must give full power to israel in its fight against palestine.
those who thought palestine was in the right- they no longer have that right, suicide bombers killing innocents and children, now their terrorists have struck us right to the core
they thought we were evil controlling empire before, now they will see an evil controlling empire
i say we patrol the streets and go communist on them, taking all their freedoms away take their children and raise them "our" way
the land they thought they had a right to, they lost, its our land now, if they object too bad.
i say give power to israel
full total empirical power over palestine
screw the dancing freaks in the streets

i... am... alive...
i am not dead(so i think)
as of late its been hectic, not really been messing round with ma puter of late, no worries its still there in the background somewhere
now for a quote of the day, or week, how bout a story instead?
a sparrow befirends dog, wagoneer kills dog, sparrow harps wagoneer with many little things until it gets wife of wagoneer to kill wagoneer.
point of this story is, yes, listen to animals when they speak to you, otherwise bad things happen.
