No idea. Don't watch the news here, there are better things to do and less biased news to pay attention to.

That's why you must find a version made by people who hate you to cross reference basically XD
Plus I was always fond of the BBC they at least try to stay neutral.

that's a good point, maybe i should be watching al jazeera...

the bbc are accepted as neutral by nearly everybody, and yet they are a government owned news station. and, interestingly, when i went to live in south africa i would see footage of blair and bush talking which gave rather a different perspective on our illustrious ex-leader's vision for the world and his enthusiasm for gulf war 2...

Lol not that extreme XD

Required by constitution to stay neutral as well. They tend to not bias news as badly as other sources and ignore a lot of filler news.
Living in a different country for a while helps as well 3nodding

fresnel, arizona is one of those places lodged in the romantic imaginations of english people...*gasp *you really do live in the wild west smile i am curious to know though why you were sticking a meat thermometer in your door - were you going to eat it? "mmm, yep that looks done, who wants the crispy bits?" lol...
We wanted to know how hot it was and it was just a bit past the range of a medical thermometer. This year I'm using the new no-contact infrared thermometer.

And yeah, the west still isn't tamed. Where once there were banditos and cattle, there's now drugs. And drugs. And those ******** Californians.

I always wondered how those thermoters work. I've seen one that works up to like...20 yards or so. And all I could think was "How the ******** does that work?"

It just reads how bright the thing is in the IR spectrum and converts that to a temperature scale we know. The one my dad just got is accurate to .1°F, cost less than $5, and is smaller than the unlocker on my keychain. Oh, and it has a stopwatch feature for some strange reason.

For those times when you just have to know how fast you can figure out how hot something is.

With a coupon.

It might have something to do with timing how long it takes something to cool down, but wouldn't you need to use both features simultaneously for that? I don't think the thing allows that, it's only got the one display.
