Obviously means below infrared, so radio. Ultraviolet could be called ultra-ultra-IR.
Admin
I like this line of thinking. So Ultra Red and Infra Violet would both be somewhere around the green part of the spectrum

LED Diode is worse.

Wow. I remember that song playing on TV as a kid (I liked it then, but was never a Twisted Sister fan). And now you're treating it like an anthropological subject.
I imagine thirty years from now kids will be looking up on the holopedia references to the "bee just in burr."

Who? Must have been unremarkable anyway...

INB4 me.
Enjoy your :flags:

(I'm sure MS marketing would not have wanted to refer to NT as "new" when promoting 2k as the latest and greatest.)

They were a local band back in my day....Still remember (well, almost remember) many nights in Stony Brook, Long Island....

Remember the "Dark Emitting Diode" and "Sound Emitting Diode" from EDN magazine????
Admin
lol are you guys serious? I didn't expect such a spirited reply to a simple commonly known fact. The IRS was created by the Federal Reserve, which whether we like it or not is a private group of bankers centered on London and the infamous LIBOR banks. I'm not sure what that has to do with UFO's and Alex Jones, perhaps someone can enlighten me on the connection?
The IRS is not a 'government agency' any more so than Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac are. Of course that doesn't mean we don't have to pay taxes, just like having a Fannie Mae backed mortgage doesn't mean we don't have to make our payments.
Admin
The connection is that it's all controlled by the Reptilian Illuminati. Isn't it obvious?

@HardwareGeek, he is finally back and it is almost as amusing as we had thought...

And now they are going to kill you and make it look like an accident...

The part I would highlight is:

I got there, nit picker. :stuck_out_tongue:
Admin
But wikipedia is a part of the conspiracy! They want to confuse and mislead you!

Preserved for posterity. ;P

This would be so much more fun if @MRAholeDBA participated more in us taking the piss out of him.
Admin
I would like to hear his defense of his claim.
Admin
You say "toe-may-toe", I say "toe-mah-toe".
Admin
*watches an angry lizardman start hurling things at @hungrier, shouting* "Stop dragging my good name through the mud, you fool!"
Admin
By "I would like to" I meant "I would be amused to". Yes, we are in agreement, just using different words.
And by the way, I say /təˈmeɪtoʊ/.
Admin
DOES_NOT_COMPUTE
Admin
Neither "toe-may-toe" nor "toe-mah-toe," but "tuh-may-toe"
Admin
But does the flag have a gold fringe? I mean let's stick to the important facts here.

Admin
I'm really not concerned at people attempting to take a piss, piss away I say good fellow! I'm not sure what the big deal and strong reaction is however, and it's rather amusing to watch.
I humbly stand corrected! The Federal Reserve is the most powerful corporation in the USA. :smile:
Admin
Are you just trying to troll us?
Admin
While there are possibly1 valid criticisms of the Federal Reserve, calling it a corporation is, at best, misleading. It has both public and private components.
The members of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) are appointed by the POTUS and confirmed by the Senate. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is composed of the seven members of the FRB and the presidents of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks. However, only 5 of the non-appointed bank presidents have voting authority at any given time; thus, the majority of the voting power is in the hands of the Federally-appointed FRB members.
Among the criticisms are that the oversight and accountability that theoretically results from having a Federally-appointed Board of Governors, Congressional oversight and GAO audits is lacking or ineffective, and that it often acts in the interests of its member banks rather than the public. To this extent, your criticism of its power may be justified, but calling it a corporation is not.
1 I don't know enough to judge the validity of the criticisms.
Admin
In some area's it's clear as mud, but at the end of the day, the senate or house asks the Fed Reserve chairman if the US could print money. The Fed Reserve chairman goes to the City of London Corp. rigged LIBOR banks and grovels at the behest of drug money laundering banks such as Barclays, HSBC, and the other 11 to print US currency. They ask us what for, etc. and then tell us at what interest rate we can print it. City of London Corp isn't actually even part of London or England. It's a complete offshore banking entity in East London to make matters more odd.
The federal reserve at the end of the day grovels before the feet of the LIBOR banks to print money. Our mortgage, credit card, student loans, and the interest we pay for the US currency we print is determined by this private group of bankers.
Now one might not think this is a big deal, but the clarification should be made. I personally, along with Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Hamilton, and JFK are strong critics of this type of financial system which reduces national sovereignty by removing it from the hands of the nation, and handing it to a group of international private financiers who typically do not have your best interests (get it? Interest? HAH!) at heart.
Admin
Easy on the fluoridated chemtrails there, you'll upset the freemasons and they'll send the second gunman from the grassy knoll to perform MKULTRA experiments on you.
Admin
Dude, he's got Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Hamilton and JFK on his side. Better be careful.
I've seen Lincoln. Guy's like 20 feet tall.
Admin
Not any more.
The only thing they are now is dead.
Admin
Shit! did the lizard people get to them too?
Admin
Rather successfully, I thought.
Admin
An angry lizardwoman glares at @Jaloopa "I am not some sort of super-secret assassin!"
Admin
That's exactly what a super-secret assassin would say
Admin
She taps you on the shoulder with a claw "Why would I run around shanking folks when I have a business to run and a good name to protect?"
Admin
Awwww look at the cute troll! You're really adorable. I understand how the Federal Reserve works might be a little bit confusing for you. Perhaps you can take a US Government class and learn or are you too busy spouting off nonsense that doesn't even make sense?
It makes you look rather silly when you reply like that to a very tame and factual overview of how the USA prints money. Hey though, it was good for a laugh, I LOVE my court jesters.
The lack of knowledge and basic comprehension backed by bravado on the simple process of how the US can print money with the Federal Reserve is pretty funny. Reminds me watching George Bush try to bully reporters when he had no idea what he's talking about. Thanks for the laughs dude. perhaps now you can tell us how the USA prints money! You seem to know random nonsense buzzwords, I'd hate to see your resume. Let's hear YOUR understanding of it now. grabs notepad to get educated on how the US can ask to print money in a federal Reserve system
Admin
:no_mouth:
Admin
I don't pretend to know how you lizard people think. Until you give me solid proof you're not working to bring about the New World Order, I don't trust you as far as I can throw you
Admin
But it's getting rather over-the-top now. Too obvious.
Admin
Sadly no, they are dead, fair point. However, they were strongly opposed to the Federal Reserve system. In their and my opinion, a nation should not have its credit and ability to utter credit determined by a group of foreign bankers. Perhaps some people feel it's a good idea. I personally do not. It takes away too much sovereignty from the nation for my likes.
Admin
now some gents might have drank a bit too much Kool aid last night and think the difference between a Hamiltonian National Bank Vs a Federal Reserve somehow involves lizards and Chem trails.
I'd ask those people to please step outside once in a while, hug their families, and perhaps take a critical thinking class here and there. Perhaps read just 1 of Alexander Hamilton's federalist papers to actually understand how a National Bank works once the LSD hallucinations wear off. I know, I know, it's very difficult being a emotionally underdeveloped alpha nerd but please try. A mind is a horrible thing to waste and banking is fun!
Admin
I'm pretty sure foreign bankers would have great difficulty trying to stop anyone from uttering "credit."
Credit Credit Credit
I just uttered "credit" three times.
Note to other pedants: Yes, I literally uttered "credit" aloud as I was typing.
Admin
Trolling level has increased +1. Well done Hardware Geek. I like your style.
I think you missed it where utter credit is sometimes used to refer to the capability for a nation to produce credit in order to fund economic driver programs. It's how Hamilton paid off the national debt which is a pretty interesting story.
Admin
Damn frogs! Get out of here!
