  1. I had a refried bean and tempeh burrito. With enough spice, it's not bad. I found myself temped by the ground turkey my family was eating tho.
  2. My commute is 110 miles a day, and I got a diesel. I get 400-480 miles a tank, which means I fill up twice a week. I'd do a car I could do 300 miles a trip, if the total cost of ownership is low enough. I tried to get one of the electric honda fits, but they weren't for sale to people with a pennsylvania address.
  3. today, a vote of fuel cell would get you to the nearest filling station (10 Technology Dr,Wallingford, CT 0649), where you could fill up again, and get back to your house in maryland. Then you'd never get to go anywhere else, because you'd be out of fuel.
  4. The primary strength of fuel cell as I see it is you're replacing a toxic battery with one that turns into water. The primary weakness is that they're less energy dense than the batteries, but still require access to lots of electricity to "charge" or create the hydrogen. The primary strength of plug in electrics is that the batteries are power dense, and the technology is continuously improving The primary weaknesses are the weight and toxicity of the batteries.
  5. Dusty, None more Dusty.

  7. No I wasn't there, I was suggesting it as something close to you where you could do mindfulness on your own schedule TNH's sanghas are way less stringent than most other variants, from what I can tell.
  8. Wouldn't shure be the place to go for that information?
  9. Check this place out if you're interested: http://www.lakesidebuddha.org I'm having some steel cut oatmeal with craisins for breakfast. Woo, exciting
  10. Dr Who is on episode 6 of season 9.
  11. i had friends in highschool with a 240z and a 260z. Both were that datsun blue tho.
  12. short version: went on a buddhist retreat last weekend. Haven't had meat since. I'm sure I will again, just not right now?
  13. long-ish story
  14. that looks fantastic. I had lentil soup at 3pm, then steel cut oatmeal at 7.
  15. That was a good event
  16. Capitals just went on a road trip through western canada, and won all 3 games (in 4 nights). I'm prepared to drink the kool aid for this year's team. WSH 6 CGY 2 WSH 3 VAN 2 WSH 7 EDM 4 There was a hat trick last night. By Kuznetsov, not Ovechkin.
  17. happy birthday
  18. Given that basically all the changes in the last decade that have been associated with huge price hikes have been in flavor rather than objective improvements, I'd be shocked if all of a sudden there were a giant improvement. Stax O2s, Sennheiser HD650, ATH-L3000, Grado PS-1, Grado HP1000, Grado RS1 I've not been convinced any full sized headphones released since then are significantly better for the given characteristics.
  19. If you don't need the extra space, I'd just swap out the hard drive for an ssd. It will run cooler, use less power, and be more reliable. Plus, it will be faster.
  20. I've never noticed a correlation between Jude's praise and actual quality.
  21. sure. It's really a shame there aren't free, easily obtainable utilities that can take dsd files or 192khz files, convert them to 24/48 in a way that humans are incapable of identifying as different.
  22. yah, the amount of 192khz material that's identifiably better than what's available at 44 or 48 in a blind test is pretty huge...
  23. It will be interesting to see an impartial reviewer's take on them.
  24. why would they change their pricing strategy if it works? As long as people buying again for incremental changes, manufacturers will keep doing it.
  25. Beans and rice
