I got a gas card a couple of years ago from Conoco-Phillips 76 for its savings which no longer apply. And the ol’ man has been spending around $250 a month on gasoline alone, going fishing all the way to Washington State twice or more a month. Each round-trip takes about $120 worth of gasoline, but he just doesn’t care. I’m the one who has to pay for it at the end of the month, and our month budget is very limited. It’s not like he has a retirement plan/savings or anything… he just doesn’t give a damn. It’s all about him and having fun. Continue reading ‘Gas Card’ »

According to this article, the US Supreme Court has ruled against capital punishment for rapists which they believe violates the Eighth Amendment. In other words, they believe death penalty is too cruel and unusual punishment.
I’ve to agree with Anthony Kennedy who acknowledged “the victim’s fright, the sense of betrayal, and the nature of her injuries caused more prolonged physical and mental suffering than, say, a sudden killing by an unseen assassin.” This kind of trauma lasts a lifetime — especially for children — and could cause serious emotional, as well as physical, problems such as depression, withdrawal from society, loss of trust, etc. This is far worse than death in my opinion.
What’s your opinion on capital punishment?
A man was ticketed for driving his wheelchair while under influence according to the Australian police.
I don’t know if I’d laugh or not. I’d definitely not drink while I’m out… heh! 
Yes, I’ve finally received that payment for the Economic Stimulus Package in the mail. Since I paid the taxes using my bank, I thought they’re going to deposit it directly to my bank which would have been better, but they mailed it.
If you ask me, the US government is pretty wasteful. They mail me my Medicaid paper every month, and even the local Social Security Administration office mails me SSI letters every single month. They’d probably save millions of dollars a year on papers and mailing alone. Digitization is the key in my opinion.
Well, anyway, I’m $600 richer today…
Verizon has upgraded its speed tiers across 16 states according to its press release.
Mine will be upgraded to 10/2 sometime this week for the same price I’m paying for 5/2!

He read my mind… 
European researchers have discovered a trio of super-Earths orbiting a star much like our sun around the Milky Way according to this article.
This means there definitely are other life forms out there. What do ya think?
Due to the dark triad personality traits, says this article, bad guys do get more girls. This is only true in males, and it’s also true across over 50 countries. They even did a controlled experiment with college students.
Dang, I don’t stand a chance whatsoever… not that I was hoping otherwise. I’ve given up in that department a while ago.
This is so cool and kind of gross at the same time. They’ve managed to capture it on film. Read about it here! There’s a link to a video on YouTube.
Umm, is there a video of real sperms swimming up the vagina to the fallopian tube?
They said version 3 is a lot faster while being light on system resources. Well, at least for me, it’s quite the opposite. It seems less responsive than the previous version, and it broke a lot of add-ons that I use. So far, I haven’t seen any improvements… time will tell, I suppose.
I’ll keep version 2 on my laptop for now.
UPDATE: I take it back. I’m not sure of other stuffs, but page rendering seems to be much faster.
