    Canned corn final answer

    Not that it matters (but just so you know!) an actual gallon is 128 ounces or 16 cups. Those "gallon size" cans are #10 Cans and hold 109.43 ounces, or 13.68 cups, or about .85 gallon. If you're in the middle of a lake on a rowboat and you're aiming for water, you can throw a #10 can with...

    Typos and stupidity

    Several years ago, for nearly a year Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston (Home of Throwed Rolls and awesome food) had several billboards on the Interstate exclaiming "Your almost here!" One of my favorites, though...

    Free country?

    I'm not a fan of Child Protective Services at all. It's just another government agency that needs to increase business to stay in business, where the government throws money at a problem and instead of solving the problem we simply get more of the problem. And aside from that, as a parent you...

    And another post from someone who chooses not to participate in the thread, and instead choosing to throw peanut shells from the peanut gallery. If you have an opinion on how the press reports riots depending on the color of the participants, or if there is or is not any racial bias in news...

    No, seriously, it's not coming. I've told you that twice, and I told you why. Now I'm telling you for a third time. I've also handed to you on a virtual silver platter the golden nugget with which you can (I fully expect) to use with all your blind incomprehension against me, stating very...

    OK, I may be misinterpreting what you said with no knowledge of your mindset, but what you wrote was clear as a bell. I didn't insert those words without any basis in fact. Your statement was one of disingenuous concession, because it was highly qualified in conceding that "maybe" there were a...

    I've been taking a couple of Tylenol once or twice a day. He said Tylenol was fine. But I've also been taking one Aleve naproxen twice a day to keep down the swelling. The first 2 weeks after the break I took a bunch of ibuprofen 3 or 4 times a day for the swelling, along with the hydrocodone...

    In football they have a kick-off. In basketball they have a tip-off. Why doesn't hockey have a puck-off?

    So, you're feverishly combing through the thread looking for something, anything, that you can point to and go, "See! See! You contradicted yourself! Nya nya nya!" Except, all you've done is given another stellar example of how you don't understand what you read, but you think you do, but you...

    Incorrect. I choose my words carefully, for specific reasons, and therefore remember them quite well. You've already tried and failed once at that one. I did neither. Do you think if you keep repeating the unsubstantiated charge that it'll magically become true? It's not coming at all. I already...

    Sorry, you can deny and try to distance yourself all you want from your own words, but it is absolutely confirmed, in every way. You don't see any disparate racial bias between the reporting of the OSU and Ferguson riots. There are three primary differences between the two events: the number of...

    I didn't lament that at all. I've already told you why I used those words, twice, so there's no point in telling you again. You'll either continue to ignore what I say, or you can't understand it. I didn't erroneously use those words, I used them specifically because they have appeared in the...

    I don't have to be more specific. You just confirmed it with that answer. And the one below. People the world over can see the racial bias in the differences in the reporting, and you can't. The conclusion is, you are have the same bias, or you really and truly can't understand what you read...

    Thanks, but I really and truly have been paying attention.

    Actually it was. Very. Except the differences weren't pointed out for my benefit, they were pointed out as justification for for the bias. I really don't think I said at all that I wanted them to be reported exactly the same. In fact I'm quite positive I did not. I know that I did not because I...

    I really do have a basis for coming to that conclusion. The totality of your posts provides the basis for coming to that conclusion, but a couple of things in particular stand out, like the types of things you voice the most objection to and the reasons for your objections, and certain phrases...

    <beating head against wall a few times> Obvious differences are obvious and don't need to be pointed out. Pointing them out is in and of itself a bias when doing so is to make one group look worse than another by using different characterizations and language for doing the same activity. There...

    I can, but I won't, for several reasons. I don't have the link and I have no desire to go looking for it. The last time I gave you a source, despite it being your Precious, you still managed to try and trounce it as being unreliable. You flatly stated that no one in this forum distorts the truth...

    First of all, attempting to cite a contradiction is not the same as showing where I distorted facts or gave incorrect information, as you allege. Uhm, you can't really cite me as the source to prove that I gave distorted facts or incorrect information. In doing so, you only prove you don't...
