The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: Mainstream Economics Thread
« on: September 03, 2014, 07:29:55 PM »Land and resource scarcity. You still need energy and water. Plus to have rampant automation, you would have to figure in equipment costs plus maintenance. That's all that is keeping prices above zero today, really, but land and resources are only becoming more scarce. Expect costs to go up, not down.
what resources do expect to be scarce? if you have free labor (robots), energy can be harvested for free, if you have free energy, water can be treated and distributed for free. equipment is free, maintenance is free.
when you allow the cost of labor (labor = time) to go to zero, most things become free or almost free to produce.
costs of almost everything have come down from the industrial revolution on, while populations (demand) have exploded.
While plausible, it would also require the abolition of our current economic model to benefit all of humanity.

Essentially Flyertalk / What you love about Netflix (and other lesser services)
« on: August 31, 2014, 05:56:49 PM »
A holiday on the first of the month means "new" releases on Netflix. Can't tell you how pumped I am to spend the morning watching "Good Morning Vietnam" followed by either "Swiss Family Robinson" or "Cool Runnings"
Netflix is also great for those cheeseball teen movies that you'd be too embarrassed to take to the counter at Digital Shelf.

Kansas State Football / Re: What can the SEC do to improve its defense?
« on: August 29, 2014, 12:17:36 PM »Quote
Stu Mandel and I were talking last night about how Sumlin and Gus Malzahn are the new Spurriers. Their offenses are just way ahead of the defenses right now. Everyone who talks about the SEC being a defensive league forgets all about the 1990's when Spurrier came into a boring, staid offensive era and just changed everything. Malzahn and Sumlin are doing that right now.

Tree will live until at least tomorrow (the half that's alive anyway).Probably the wrong the thread to be giving out T & O (turf and ornamental) advice, but don't try to transplant a tree that isn't healthy in the month of August. Wait until end of Sept or first of Oct. (assuming you live in KS)
What about transplanting to the firewood pile?

Planning on removing a tree (at least 3" diameter) from the front yard this weekend. Might even clean out the gutters if it doesn't rain anymore and muck everything up.

ATT/utility marker guy went nuts with flags/paint marking crap off this spring. One of them told Mrs. 06 that they'd be coming through any day. Nothing ever happened. Obvs no paint left and I think there's one flag the neighborhood kids haven't pulled up.

« on: August 22, 2014, 05:56:44 PM »I honestly don't know anything about the systems sold to do this, but if you turn them off/on in the winter, you are just making sure that you will have to replace your driveway much faster than you would if you bought a snow blower. Maximizing your freeze/thaw cycles on concrete is the fastest way to make that concrete crack, spall, look like crap, and eventually fail much faster than it should.
A simple thermostat could be used to hold the slab slightly above freezing eliminating any freeze-thaw cycle.
That's a lot of money for a full winter
You turn it off when it's dry. Sheesh

Kansas State Football / Re: KU football is hurting
« on: August 22, 2014, 04:37:29 PM »QuoteI just got an email from AAA Kansas. They are offering AAA members 50% discounts on KU football tickets already.
The three games the offer is good for are SE Missouri State, Texas and Oklahoma State. 50% off Big 12 games before the season has started is not a good sign.
Already a stack of free tickets to SEMS at Taco Johns in Manhattan today.

Little freaked out that I'm firmly entrenched on Team Dax here.
If Snyder were actively working to change things while taking a very generous salary, that's one thing.
Snyder has basically done the complete opposite of that his entire career though.
