14:13:51 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> rich tornado chasers are in South Dakota. Known as Sodak. 'sow-dack', as apposed to nodak.

14:14:50 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> rich lightning photogs would be there too, or down in SW TX. Aint many roads in either place. E'ern Sodak has a fair/good road network but W'ern sucks.
14:28:59 <Lingerance> grencez: The running in-joke is anyone expressing love for MS or talking about big corp usually results in me giving an "ass-raping" speech.
14:29:33 <Lingerance> Which SpecLad always prempts with "here comes the ass rape speech"
14:30:09 <Lingerance> bbl
14:39:51 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> Big corporations aren't inherently bad. They just generally have a monetary incentive to be evil.
14:40:12 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> s/evil/near corrupt./
14:40:54 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> oh... BTW... I saw my "LED road flare" at radioshack yest.
14:41:14 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> $9.95, triangular flat shape. Looked more like a UFO model than a warning flasher.
14:41:26 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> LEDs mounted facing up! not out...
14:42:09 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> Was more just marketing to paranoid soccer mom, not a practical warning device. Seemed to me. :)
14:42:46 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> but if radshack has one for $10, you know wally world could sell it for $2 and cost would be like 50cents.
14:42:56 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> Single AA batt not included.

14:43:41 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> would be better to have a built-in bio-safe battery, but aint sure that's possible and will for sure jack the $.
14:43:50 <oddballz194> A lit, spinning tornado model which had text "twister ahead!" would be an adequate warning that something bad is ahead. :P
14:44:16 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> more for when I come across down power lines/poles... or a washout or flood.
14:45:25 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> it's a real spinchter workout when you come over a hill and see no road ahead, but a stream of water.
14:45:51 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> seems like your asshole and bellybutton near touch.
14:46:08 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> and the "oh shit..."
14:47:04 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> I have road flares, but in some instances it would be "ok, do I warn folks of the power pole across the road ahead, and take the 10% chance of burning down $1,000,000 worth of wheat?"
14:47:36 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> being round, stupidly, instead of (who thought of it?!) triangular
14:48:13 <oddballz194> Maybe you could market a bracket for them that turns them triangular. :P
14:48:16 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> but then, having called a flare making company, and of course, being told to fuck off, I advanced to the LED, non-fire idea.
14:48:24 <oddballz194> Put one on each end, and bingo! :P
14:48:28 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> ya, you could make a non-burning holder.
14:48:39 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> one end is burning.
14:48:50 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> But could be placed in to stand up straight.
14:49:02 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> still a wind will make fall/blow
14:49:23 <oddballz194> I suppose something that moves with it would work better -- maybe a triangular waxy substance.
14:49:25 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> LED would be made like a tim samarus cone probe. Extremely resistant to wind.
14:49:49 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> you could stick it to the road!
14:50:00 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> quick set flare cement.
14:50:23 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> I still think making the flare triangular to start with is the C way.
14:50:24 <SadShaggyBuffalo_> ;P
