Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

It's worth it for 80k and all the mansex he can eat.
It's also about how much a soldier is to be paid for disability.
There was actually a series of Salon articles on this, primarily based on a taped conversation with an Army psychologist.
"I am under a lot of pressure to not diagnose PTSD"
Tale of the secret Army tape
What motive does the Army have to misdiagnose PTSD?
Also, RAND Corporation study:

[edit] After that whole fiasco with the Army hospital in Washington and shit, I'm really surprised there hasn't been more of a public outcry. Why aren't more people super pissed that the government is more concerned with the fiduciary value of an individual then in supporting someone who has rendered a great service to our nation? Fuck that.

I actually don't know if I'll join the nuclear program, considering that I'm pretty crappy at math
Embedded journalism, paralegal, and stuff of that nature would be an awesome thing that I enjoy while simultaneously feeling like I served mah country.
If you're crappy at math, perhaps nuclear engineering is not your cup of tea Jordi LaForge.

I haven't signed a single paper yet so
Go in as Com. Riker. Bang hot chicks, grow a kickass beard, and be awesome.
naw, he did his tour on the sub, and now the Navy is sending him to med school at USUHS.
he did mention that the math at Nuc. Power School is pretty intense

it's all about the powerful corn lobby
How long-term would be we talking about probably before it starts paying off?

Are we talking something like if we converted to grass crops for fuel we'd see the profit 5 years down the line over corn biofuel or if we converted to grass crops for fuel in 500 years we'd see the profit over corn biofuel? Ultimately, yes going with the better solution for economy and environment is best, but if we're going towards a net loss over the next 499 years 'till it catches the theory of better isn't necessarily the "Best" solution. Much like keeping fossil fuels still works because changing the fuel isn't immediately economically feasible.

(druhim's real reason to stop the corn lobby)
If we already have Corn crops being grown like crazy I can't imagine we could just switch over for free... the sunk costs of changing crops would need to be considered if we're going to put forwards better crops.
I mean, what's the corn lobby fighting for even if it's more profitable, and better for the environment to grow other things as fuel, as long as enough farmers grow corn for the HFCS demand?
Khavall's Beginner's Guide to Music Everything(Theory Blog)
that makes no goddamn sense
sure, different crops have different requirements but you're just being absurd here acting like there's some massive corn infrastructure that would need to be torn up to allow farmers to grow something else
you do realize that many farmers change crops from time to time, right?
farmers change crops all the goddamned time

doesn't burn out the soil
saves the nutrients in the soil so it doesn't get shitty (there's a technical term here involving a high iron count that i learned about but i forgot it)
laterite?
laterization?
or is that when shit gets deforested
both i guess

which brings up the fact that sugar cane is easier to raise, and easier to extract sugar from for producing ethanol than corn is
corn is estimated (and it's considered a generous estimate, many claim it's under 1.0) that the energy returned on energy invested is only 1.34 for corn, but 8 for sugar cane (in other words, best case corn returns 34% more energy when used to produce ethanol, sugar cane produces 700% more)
Brazil also produces a large amount of ethanol for mixing into their gasoline, only they grow sugar cane for their ethanol because they don't have a bloated corn lobby protecting their interests
