A belief is not an idea the mind posesses, but an idea that posesses the mind.

wow, I did not think so many people would
try to dissect the components.

forget, in this case, that the vehicle is
a train.

let's move the weight to the water and
make it a freight cargo ship.

the ship has a diesel engine, it also
has photo electric cells plastered all over it
and it has 6 monster sails.

ugly as sin ship. ok.

with just the sails, the ship will SAIL along
at 2 kilometers an hour in speed.

if we remove the sails and just have
the photo electric power, the ship will
travel at 4 kilometers per hour in speed.

if we remove the photo electric cells and
instead, install diesel engines, we can
travel 16 kilometers per hour speed.

in some situations in power, it is a good
idea to combine power resources.

the question then, is, if we were to combine
all 3; diesel engines, and
add the photo electric cells and
add the sails, would the ship only go
16 kilometers per hour speed--or would it go faster with the other two sources also working
concurrently?

My sister is negative and has something bad to say about nearly everybody. She has said at least one bad thing about everyone I am friends with who has met her. It makes me feel really bad when she talks negatively about everyone I know. How do I get her to stop?

How would YOU deal with knowing that you will inevitably become painfully depressed and wacked out manic periodically for no damnn reason the rest of your life?

Medication only extends the periods between episodes and *maybe* makes them milder. Very few end up with no symptoms for life.



FYI: I am med compliant and have no intention of ever not being. Please DO NOT tell me that you are impressed. It's insulting. I wouldn't tell someone with diabetes, gee it's wonderful you take your insulin.

I've asked many questions about my crush in the past, and from the answers I've received, it seems like there is a pretty good chance that he likes me back. Problem is that he is leaving for college in 9 days. I know I will definitely be seeing him on Sunday, when we go out to dinner with alllll of our other coworkers, but I'm afraid that might be the last time I see him until he comes home when classes aren't in session. He's pretty shy, as am I, so he hasn't said anything to me. So I'm trying to figure out if/ when I should tell him that I like him instead of waiting for him. I don't want to do it at the dinner, cuz we are gonna be with 20 of our coworkers that have no idea that I like him. Would it be really lame for me to tell him online? Everytime I think about telling him in person, I get too nervous and am too afraid to tell him face to face. I was thinking of maybe telling him tonite online, but I dunno. Or should I not say anything at all? I think I'd regret that tho. help!

Does one even need a high efficiency oil filter for the car? If an OEM filter is rated at 40um (for example) how many hundreds of thousands of miles would a high efficiency filter gain? (rated at 15um? for example)

I've complained to my landlord who has sent out a plumber a couple of times. Each time they claim they fixed it--but I get home and it's still the same!

It clogs at least once a day. It feels like I spend more time in the bathroom plunging the toilet, than enjoying the rest of my apartment! I usually just plunge the heck out of it, but tonight it's not working. Is there anything else I can try?

I just got home from The Invasion. There was a pack of about 20 kids, who talked incredibly loudly throughout the whole movie. Being outnumbered (there were about four of us who didn't come with them) no one said anything. But it was infuriating. I complained to my mom and she said ushers used to patrol the theaters and address such issues. Is there a reason theaters don't handle these problematic people the same way anymore?

I'm 13 years old and I was just wondering like...I mean like on one of my breasts I have a big lump that I can feel if I push down a bit and it's not on the other one...what should I do? I mean, it scares me. I don't have a family history of breast cancer though. I mean is it just something that's there because my breasts are still growing or what? And I'm almost scared to talk to my mom about it cuz I don't want to freak her out cuz A. we don't really have the money right now I don't think to be able to do anything if it WAS cancer and B. her mom died of breast cancer (but they weren't blood related cuz my mom was adopted).

I mean I'm just really scared and I don't exactly know what my own question even is right now but can somebody tell me what it might be?
