@cystic:

wow.
that’s really nitpicky.
Not to get involved in your little lover’s quarrel, but . . .
i already had an assumption about wanker, but i don’t feel like looking it up, so i’ll go with that assumption . . . in which case a wanker isn’t really an insult so much as an adjective like “use-the-toilet-standing-up’er” etc.
and that “second bracket thing”. EEEEEEEEE.
is my lack of use of capital letters bothering anyone else? i started to not capitalize my “i’s” and things kind of just drifted from there. (note: when i write in charts i print in ALL capital letters for the sake of legibility).

Don’t worry CC.
Xi is just a prick.

Never try to be a better nitpicker than me :) … i have a distinct advantage: i am born german ;)

F_kquote,
“Well, what is one percent then?”

Xispeak,
1% or 1.0% is one percent or one - one hundredth of the whole.(In the US, to the right of the decimal point is where fractions begin).
0.1% is one tenth of one percent or one - one thousandth of the whole.

F_kquote,
“I don’t think i understood you…”

Xispeak,
You were RIGHT. You did not understand. I was only trying to solve the US problems . . . not the world’s problems :)
Satire, irony ,a little kidding, and good old fashioned humor. :P :wink:
I am not omniscient, omnipresent, nor omnipotent, but I’m damn close to it! :wink: :wink: - Xi

Sorry, let me clarify. The hole on the ozone layer gets SMALLER AND LARGER.

F_kquote,
“Planning to close the second bracket?”

Xispeak,
See previous post for correction, if you must.

Satisfied?

F_kquote,
“look up:
-irony
-satire”

Xispeak,
Jeez! Humor doesn’t translate well for some people. That’s why I’ll stick with English . . . the international language of aviation and business.
:P :wink:

c_c_quote,
“wow. that’s really nitpicky.”

:lol: I agree. :wink:

T_6quote,
“Come on Xi, we also love satire and irony.”

Me, too, but some people(read F_k and M_G_)don’t get it. :cry:

And then came M_G_,
Another guy who can’t understand humor!

“Never try to be a better nitpicker than me…”

Wow, all this grief over one little ‘kiss my a–.’ One country’s CiC retires and another country’s CiC attacks(I feel like Nazi Germany).No joke. - Xi
Ain’t nobody pickin’ nits. Just havin’ fun in communicatin’. - Xi
Take a break and try again. - Xi

So, then you can redo your calculations …… and, what do you get out of it?
It was 0.00007 % (!) of 4 Million, right?

Xispeak,

How can you preach global trade if you fail global thinking?
I wouldn’t mind if we could seal off the US from the rest of the planet. Would save us a lot of trouble, and most of the USies wouldn’t even notice!
(Except that there are no “evil villains out there” who can be blamed for everything…. would be interesting to watch wthat happens then)

Sorry, let me clarify. The hole on the ozone layer gets SMALLER AND LARGER.

The sun goes up and down.
There is summer and winter.
Of course the hole oscillates: it would be a miracle if it didn’t!
I find it funny if ppl takes things they don’t undertand to proof other things they don’t understand…

Wow, all this grief over one little ‘kiss my a–.’ One country’s CiC retires and another country’s CiC attacks(I feel like Nazi Germany).No joke.

THAT IS NOT FUNNY !
Take a f*cking look: there is more to Nazi germany than WWII.
You still feel like it?
……

Sorry,
however, according to the psychiatric profession, I’m entitled to my feelings. Don’t take it personally. :oops: Sorry, those are your feelings and you are entitled to them.

F_k WAS RIGHT! :)
regarding the mathematics. With a little encouragement I figured he’s coorrect there. Thanks for the patience.

Regarding the world’s problems -
We’ve got over 210 countries in the world with a wide variety of laws.If we try different methods we might find one that works. My vote is for multiple experiments and I’d say the world shows itself to be in agreement(communism, socialism, republics, democratic republics, dictatorships, and monarchies to name a few examples).

Regarding the short term problems -
Let’s see. Europe has been settled(about what? 100,000 years +)and becoming civilized for 3,000 years. I think Europe should take the lead in solving the world’s problems. We’re waiting! :)

You referred to cch or chlorated carbohydrates. I believe that’s what the US folks refer to as cfc or chloroflourocarbons. Other than that, I leave the scientific twisting to someone else. :wink:

Well, I know the acronym in german, and cfc sounds good.
Anyway, those are about the only success of environmentalists. And now honestly, did your life get worse without cfc’s? Do you miss them?

my life just hasn’t been the same. My bed is harder, my food tastes worse, my air-breathin . . . well, that’s still the same more or less.

[The camera pans the room and . . . ]

We find Xi sitting in a dark corner in front of a generic 17" monitor with a Compaq SK-2800C keyboard ready to slip from his lap. The right hand is precariously hunting and pecking on the keboard. However, the left lovingly cradles a bottle of Sobe Dragon to Xi’s body. He is leaning back in an old brown leather desk chair, with metal studs, and a spring is beginning to wear through in a most uncomfortable place. His feet are crossed on the far right corner of the desktop fighting for space with one of the family’s pet dinosaurs, a Compaq Presario 7478 CPU. At the foot of Xi’s tilted chair is a small bowl and teaspoon, with the dried remains of some Graeter’s Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

[Camera tightens to show from Xi’s head to his lap.]

We see Xi experience shortness of breath,
his face becoming flushed,
attempted multiple extreme efforts at inhalation,
the Dragon is dropped on the old warped speckled tile floor,
grasping throat,
placing both hands across the treachea, palm inward[the International Sign of Choking],
deeply flushed face,
decreased struggling for breath,
his hands relax and slip to the keyboard
which slips from view and clatters to the tile floor,
the fight is ended.

[The camera slowly lowers and tightens on the overturned bottle of Sobe Dragon as it empties a few more drops on the cool floor. Fade to black]

fresh, processed smell anymore!

Please, I had better hope you’re not describing what I think your describing.

eeeeeeeee :cry:

For any of you who still don’t know and are still interested…‘to wank, or wanking’ is masturbation! ‘wanker’ is an insult. (i spent some time at an international school in holland…picked these things up from the british)

I was thinking:

1. Massive Myocardial Infarction (anterior with radiation to the carotids)
2. Wicked asthma attack
3. Choking on something
4. some kind of metabolic syndrome/toxin
5. thrombotic emboli (from DVT developed after hours of sitting in front of the computer) thrown to the pulmonary artery

but now . . .
triple eeeeeeee

I’m not dead yet! :P - Xi

I think that’s a famous line. :wink:

Not enough cchs/cfcs fer me! :cry: - Xi
