Yeah, I like the Nordic Cross.

I take that's the name for all the ones with off centre crosses.

Not sure if that's a Nordic Cross. Probably it is.
You didn't tell me there was going to be math-Mike Krahulik AKA Gabe, after finding out he had to do math in Dungeons & Dragons, also my reaction finding out that I had to do math in most of the storefronts.

I think that's because it originated from the Nordic Countries.

Yes that's it, as I say your state flag as opposed to your civil flag.

Cheers for letting me know.

The Nordic flag doesn't have a center cross.

The centre of the cross is moved slightly to the hoist side.

Seen the Indonesian one?

Yeah it would appear so, however, according to the article on Indonesia they show the right one.

But that is Wikimedia commons. Whatever that is.

Some say just using the Southern cross, some say using the Eureka flag others say placing the aboriginal flag there instead.

Milk BAG? :shock:

Milk bag - typically 4L, comes in a larger plastic bag with 3 small bags containing milk; the three small bags make up 4 L. We do have cartons of milk, but those are 1 and 2L. 4L only comes in bags.

No. He can't. And that is another thing to add to the list of things that piss me off. Really, wasting taxpayer dollars on this infantile BS when the economy is going in the tank... or those ads we get in the mail. Ugh... what a waste of a perfectly good tree.

If you had clicked the link, you would know it's mostly in eastern Canada, Argentina, Hungary, Israel and a few others.

Personally, I find that milk out of a bag taste better than out of a tetra package or carton.

I can't really compare, but I would prefer it straight out of the cow but I haven't had that for at least 10 years.

People who get emotionally attached to economic systems. Dammit, economic policy decisions should be made on the basis of sound economic science. If the evidence supports government intervention, then use government intervention in said issue. If it doesn't, then it is likely a self-correcting aberration.

People who feel that they can dismiss thousands of man hours of work by the smartest minds around backed by mountains of empirical evidence because a book written by people who didn't even know where rain comes from disagrees.

People who make arguments based on incorrect physics. (perpetual motion idiots, 2nd law of thermodynamics disproves evolution morons, etc.)

People who say that all truth is "subjective" and "socially constructed." No. Truth must be objective, or it's not truth. Certain guesses about the truth are socially constructed, and our perception of the truth is subjective, and we are limited in our ability to know truth, but it is objective. Were reality entirely socially constructed, not only would science not work, people living in one part of the world should get different experimental results when running an identical experiment to people living on a different part of the planet.
A little homework for you!

What part of L(f(t)) = Int(exp(-s*t)*f(t),t,0,inf) don't you understand?

No, it doesn't. You use a jug to store the bag in. It'll hold it up right, and to open, you use scissors and remove the corner opposite the handle - though I remove the other end as well because it makes for better flow when pouring and drinking straight from the bag. :)

the claim by libertarians and other so called conservatives, that selfishness is some sort of absolute universal consensus. if it were, which i don't believe for a moment that it is, i've seen to much encouraging to the contrary to ever entirely be convinced that is, but if it were, what the hell would be the whole point of human society at all?
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.
