Found this, thought you guys would like it:

A company in Oakland, Kijani Grows, is developing self-sustainable urban aquaponics.I like how he's using twitter and the internet to monitor his gardens.

I've had two GHB's stolen from my trunk (in a locked car).

fuckin' thieves can all DIAF.

What I dont understand is WTF the people makeing this filim were thinking of. This result is exactly what the filmmaker, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, wanted. There were rumors that he was Israeli and that he was working with Terry Jones, the Quarn-burning Florida pastor, but it's hard to find the proo...

Ridiculous fear-mongering aside, does anyone know what's going on with this?

In related news, a giant tent collapsed after a ball game recently (same day, I think), injuring 100 and killing 1 (heart attack).

It's a Simpson's quote.

You did the right thing. Not everyone is afraid of a knife, but damn near everyone is afraid of fire and immolation- it's one of those reactionary self-defense responses that is reinforced by the movies constantly, truth be damned. You pulling a knife, regardless of your own personal training, could...

the obvious answer is to make the world's largest slip n slide.

there are some good restaurants and bars in the area. Yemanja Brasil is good for dinner.

So far it looks like just another internet rumor.

Today is South Korean president Lee Myung-bak's birthday.

That's one interesting birthday present.

In the earlier thread concerning the OWS crowd that got locked, I made some predictions. In that thread, when I said that I didn't think that much would come from it, I was mostly thinking of things like civil disturbance, rioting, and violence on the scale of the G-20 and WTO protests that got out...

No reason? He was in an area, where for whatever reason police had been ordered to clear a protest, and refused to leave. Are you saying that police should never clear an area, for any reason? Stop trying to put words into my mouth or trying to build straw-man arguments. You're not on the winning s...

I find it interesting that the amateur journalism video shows that veteran acting in a way that contradicts his claims. Why, if you're just walking to you apartment, would you square off with a line of riot police? How is that a reasonable course of action? If his apartment is on the other side of ...

All issues and players aside. WTF was a pregnant woman even doing going into a potentially hostile situation like that. I don't care if you are a reporter, protester, or LEO. Going into that volatile situation while pregnant is just plain stupid. Why shouldn't she be at (what was) a peaceful protes...

True. It left out the part where she was yelling "STOP, I'M PREGNANT!"
