Well it means absolutely nothing when Laz is cold. 49 threads can't be wrong. ;)

Jackal, you really didn't think you'd spent the waiting hours before Christmas with this thread anywhere but on pag one :t
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Angus, this thread was Alpha/Omega before it was even started.
Just cheap entertainment.
The same with the subject of Global War........errr Climate Change push.
It starts, a lot of BS in the middle, absolutely nothing of any substance will come out it, then it will end when enough to discover they have been scammed.
Only difference is the cost and hardship it will cause some is not cheap.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.

I did not attack you personally, I said your statement was stupid.
You may wish to look over your post that this one is responding to and see who is personally attacking whom.

Saying something is partially adiabatic is like saying the Titanic was partially unsinkable.

If you want to get all hot and bothered about that, be my guest.


Holden,

It's not the old "taking my ball and going home".  My side is more of I'm just tired of our point mongering.  Every post, you seem to be on a mission to point out any and every minor flaw, and make it into a mountain.  

You are far from perfect and I'm happy enough to let your mistakes go merrily by.... but you seem to use every post as some self serving idiom generating text,  one which you use to make yourself seem better than everyone.  I'm not talking about my posts only, I'm talking about every time I've seen you post in general, to everyone.  Instead of constructive debate, you must always be an omnipotent asss about every subject.  You make Lazs look good, in comparison.



I simply choose to opt out of any further debate with you, which is sad.  I would have liked to have seen the work your girlfriend is doing with salmonids... as I'm sure she'd like to see the work I do with requiem sharks.

In this thread I took issue with only two of your points.

The first was debating the ability of taking a small sample and extrapolating a larger truth.

The second was your misinterpretation of 'adiabatic'.

Two points...  from here it looks like you are the one generating mountains of text.

I knew you couldn't just let go Moray.

Evidently it means that it's warm in South Florida in the Winter. Go Figure.

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

I don't see how ADM caused that.

Yep I agree, Arlo is the most unfunniest person I know. Except when he's singing.

Like I said... your post here shows that you just always have to be correct.. at least to yourself.

You're the one who can't let go.
