: Chocolate

the mayans invented chocolate ca 500 AD. the swiss didn't get around to their
contribution until 1875 when milk chocolate was first put on the market.
4 years later they invented a chocolate that melts in your mouth by heating
and rolling to refine it.

i don't like chocolate for some reason (i'm a mutant) so i didn't think to
mention the obvious.

Most iron-on transfers only work on cotton. Yes, hot iron on
polyester is not good. Did your mother not teach you how to iron?

I think all the ski wax in my iron would mess up my clothes! My mother
taught me to respect my clothes and not mess them up!

I keep one for waxing, one for ironing, one for fusing - doesn't everyone do
it that way?

nobody in the USA under 40 irons anything. if my mother taught me it was
probably for cub scouts or something silly like that and i've long since
forgotten. even the poor sods who have to dress nice for work just take
their stuff to the dry cleaner. never even owned an iron.

perhaps now the exceptions will prove the rule by posting.

I'll step up to the plate on this one. Any man who doesn't know how to
properly iron a collared shirt is uneducated. Being proud of not
knowing how to iron (or cook) is like being proud of not knowing how
to read.

What about the navy? They learn to sew, mop, peel potatoes, and you have
to have everything pressed and folded into tiny little squares! What about
submarines! In order to fit into one of those little berths you have to be
a shrimp! So you have to be thin AND neat!!!

I hate ironing, i have to say, but I do it. However, for special items
it's the drycleaner. Pressing a shirt is only a buck! My SO knows how to
iron and in fact he's better at it than I.

I think a lot of men dress like slobs rather than buy clothes they have to iron.

oy! I remember seeing photos of demonstrations in Sydney and also in NZ,

while, though, they stick in your mind.

Does anyone know where you can buy cycling jerseys with an anti-war
or anti-Bush theme?

No, but I know where you can get some war-mongering jerseys. Peace
is overrated.

Yeah, name one great thing or idea to come from Switzerland...

oooo! That's easy! Swiss chocolate!

Secondly, economies of scale refer to single companies rather than an
entire market. Although oil production is a massive industry, it is
split among many companies.


Whether it's 1 or 1000 companies making the same product, the more each
company makes, the cheaper it is to make.

Um, no. Taking production total as a constant it will be cheaper for
one company - that's the whole point of economies of scale.

And finally, economies of scale allow greater efficiency and lower
production costs per unit, but supply and demand has a much greater
impact on price than economies of scale ever will.


Which is ironic considering the US, who is the highest consumer of energy
per capita, pays the lowest per unit.

Or maybe it's because the taxation levels are higher in other countries,
in part to curb excessive usage. One of the reasons the US uses 25% of
the world's fuel (IIRC) is because it is so cheap.

How much is petrol in countries with inefficient refining and distribution
systems? Remember, the demand is low!

Again, we're outside of normal market conditions. Prices are
artificially high due to government-imposed levies in countries such as
Germany and the UK (approx. 85% taxation) which lowers demand.
