Pathetic

...but predictable. The CEI has released a number of 'commercials' on carbon dioxide emissions. The catchphrase is 'they call it pollution, we call it life' Now, this weeks quiz questions include:
  1. How many fallacies are there in all three commercials together?
  2. What is actually the worst line of the lot? (not counting the one mentioned)
  3. Anyone else agree that these adds are actually more frightening the climate issue was to start off with?
Unfortunately, no prizes this time round.

Problems, problems, problems

But those can wait. Dropping in a few quick links instead:

Procrastination, but make it quick

Slightly overworked, basically working fulltime at the lab, whilst preparing for my final talk until 23:00 every evening, so no time for, well, anything, except some therapeutic ranting. Definitely no time for: my bike being funny and breaking down before I even left the neighbourhood (but some nice bikerepair shop that repaired it in 30 min whilst I did some shopping, at least I think the guy said that, I still suck at dutch with heavy turkish influences, but my bike works, so yup, that would have been it). Cold showers in the morning keep me awake, though I don't have an option as the boiler went on the blink (something that I also don't have time for). I think I just got that sorted, so I can add taking apart (and reassembling) (the easy parts of) the boiler system to my list of skills. Ah, and then I'm forgetting the social thing that I arranged months ago...
Ow well, back to the hell that is IF pictures and powerpoint...

I really did intend to bring this up to speed again. It'll have to wait
