Shouldn't "Three-Cheese Pasta" have a sauce that actually tastes like, y'know, cheese? -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 10:35 10
- the more types of cheese in the pasta, the worse it generally is -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 10:37 7
  - this is more like, slightly undercooked pasta in a chalk-flavored sauce with some cheese melted on top. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 10:40 6
    - in other words, Easy Mac - zork Jan 30, 10:43 2

  - More ATV trails and more carbon-capturing contests -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:26 21
    - if someone invents a way to reliably capture carbon from the atmosphere, it's worth waaaay more than 1.5B. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 10:28 1
      - Doesn't matter. I read an article that we're past the point of no return. Time to run downhill :) -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:38
    - There's a useful response. Thanks for the discourse. -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 10:27 18

        Also creating more Coast Guard jobs at $460,000 a piece -- nm - Strongbad the Belittler Jan 30, 10:31 15
        
        Do you care to use facts, or just throw misnformed barbs? -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 10:33 14
        
        Which of the above are you questioning? - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:34 12
        
        A project that costs X dollars and creates Y jobs != X/Y cost per job. It's not like the total outlay is going to salary. - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:37 5
        
        These are jobs outside the coast guard, yes. - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:40 4
        
        No. It's costing that much to *build* stuff, which will require the creation of 1,200 jobs. It isn't a cost of creating a job. Care to show me - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:43 1
        
        Trust me, I get your point. - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:48
        
        The appropriation is not intended to solely create the jobs. It's also intended to get work done. - ty97 Jan 30, 10:43 1
        
        I should see if I can find out how much our cost per worker is here (we're a construciton firm). Some of our jobs are up in the $200M range and we - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:45
        
        Exactly. $572 million for Acquisition, Construction, & Improvements - ty97 Jan 30, 10:36 5
        
        Incorrect, my arse. - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:45 4
        
        You're quoting 460K/job which is factually incorrect and intellectually dishonest. - ty97 Jan 30, 10:46 1

        This isn't a good example of the pork. See ATV trails for that. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 10:50
        
        I think you know the answer. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 10:34
