We are the bad guys

Even worse - all that dirty work, you didn't even get the great Hugo Boss uniforms for the trouble.

Dilbert, is that you?

Thanks - that was fun! I never had "the knack" in quite that way though. It took me quite a few years to learn how to put stuff back together after I had taken it apart, and longer still to acquire significant troubleshooting skill. (And I'm still just OK at troubleshooting - I'd rather design and build). But I was always fascinated with electricity. When I was being wheeled through the five-and-dime at the age of 2 or 3, I usually wasn't much interested in the toys. But electrical connectors and adapters, batteries, and the like - they all seemed to be calling my name. I had a 6-quart fruit basket filled electrical bits - plugs, light-bulb 'Y' adapters, cube taps, adapters to turn light sockets into outlets, etc. I played with them A LOT, and I even had a dummy outlet in my playroom. Apparently, even then I had sense enough not to play with live outlets. Not that that stopped me from getting some nice shocks when I was older - I was as immortal and oblivious as any kid most of the time.

The world is made up of shades of grey.
Cops need to start respecting the people and their rights again. The average person is not a (serious) criminal* so stop treating us as such. Police are supposed to serve the public. Demanding we respect you when you act like thugs is not a good approach.
Some minority communities have enormous problems. Black communities seem to produce way too many criminals and they keep murdering each other. Ignoring these problems is not resolving them.
It's possible we all need to get our shit together.

* Completely unrelated problem, nobody actually knows all the laws.

This is almost certainly leading to 'civil forfeiture' - where you are not prosecuted for a crime. Your posessions are - and you have very limited opportunity to defend it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?... - last week tonight on civil forfeiture.

It is especially problematic because the siezing agency gets to keep the funds, which provides them a clear incentive to overreach.
In general, if you can't prove to beyond a reasonable doubt where your money came from - in detail, and even if you can - your chances of getting it back are small.

See subject & this link about "Primer Fields" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Primer+Fields/ & it makes sense as you can SEE his results right there (very, VERY interesting - all this crap about 'dark matter' falls apart as this model functions from our "frame of relativistic reality" down to the subatomic level as well).

* IF this article's right (magnetic fusion sounds much like electro-static fusion imo)? Then, it only makes the link above all the more sound too!

(Suns/Stars then work on this principle basically... & not only that, but Mr. LaPoint in the video is working on a power source that sounds much like this one (magnetic bottles containing a plasma core reaction that shows 'magnetic stress patterns' around it using metal filings in cones that encase the magnetic field & everything in this universe has a magnetic field - again, see what's in that link above, as I don't describe it well...)

Taxis already refuse to pick up fares in bad neighborhoods, or just never bother to show up. (And if you tell dispatch where you're going, and it's a bad neighborhood, they will also frequently just never show up.)

That's why they need one of these!

Medium term, maybe. But long term...

That's no longer the case. Increases in high-temperature high field superconductors have reduced the size necessary dramatically.

Here's a (refreshingly not dumbed down) talk by the head of MIT's Nuclear Science & Engineering department that discusses this in some detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The reason why magnetic fusion doesn't work yet is because of the budget needed to build a large enough reactor.

The budget required is reducing with new reactor designs. MIT professor Dennis Whyte recently gave a talk on their plans for building a fusion reactor. See also a couple of other talks on MIT's ARC design and the smaller SPARC design.

As far as I can tell, her reasoning is something along the lines that if you hit yourself in the forehead with a hammer, your forehead swells with fluids such that the second blow is less severe. Therefore, hammers are good for your forehead.

Watch what? Words out of somebody's mouth? Why didn't we get videos of ACTUAL buses being driven around? Why do we never get that?

Critical analysis shows the failure.

No matter how much editing Snopes claims O'Keefe has done, the entirety of all videos are available for examination AND there is no denying that the Democrat operatives said what they said and no reason to disbelieve that they did what they said they did.

Actually, Jerry, based on what O'Keefe's done in the past, including the result of the Planned Parenthood investigations that came out of his lies, there is zero reason to believe anything he produces. That you cite him, so uncritically, is a reason to disbelieve you.

An actual "Bull in a China shop" is certainly much better than doing nothing.
MythBusters to the rescue, again. That phrase has lost it's meaning, but you somehow have used it correctly.

Video of him lying to Congress under oath. If you haven't seen this video as you claim, you really shouldn't be commenting on this topic at all and I believe everyone else here on /. would agree with me on that point.

Go ahead and claim he wasn't told to, but you will have to follow up with a statement from the White House contradicting him, Clapper being forced to resign for lying, the DOJ prosecuting him for lying, ANY CONSEQUENCES at all for lying.

They don't exist. He lied, Obama knew, and Obama did NOTHING about it.

Face it, for all your ranting about conservatives, Obama has been the absolute worst in ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY for spying on citizens. Yes, the worst in all of HUMAN HISTORY on this topic. No one else has ever come even close.

Go ahead and spin spin away.

Really? Trump was claiming election rigging for months, and Bernie's failure proved it in the Dem nomination race, because of Clinton's "super delegates". Clinton and her sock puppets in the media and entertainment were so sure that she would win they denied any meaningful rigging existed. Hillary said that refusing to accept the election results was "horrifying", and "un-democratic and un-American". Refusing to accepts the results now is not those things, especially since she only collected 232 electoral college votes? She'd need to steal 68 votes from Trump to reverse the election, an impossibility.

It was only AFTER they lost that they started making claims about hacking and the ridiculous claim of Russian interference, and about "fake news sites". Before he won they were laughing at him and mocking him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The Democrats revealed a 2005 audio tape about Trump and pussy grabbing. Here is a 2006 audio of Hillary proposing election rigging:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
And this is to say nothing of her claims to have landed in Bosnia "under fire", or that the Benghazi debacle was caused by a YouTube video, that she was related to Sir Edmond Hillary ... the absurd lies go on and on. http://nypost.com/2015/11/28/h... and that doesn't cover the lies she told this year!
The fake news sites are the ones that repeated Hillary's lies without bothering to verify her statements before publishing them.

Jill Stein, candidate that drew less than 1% of the popular vote, has no standing to demand a recount in any state.
Then she raises $6M to fight the results? According to Hillary she's horrifying, un-democratic and un-American for refusing to accept the results of the election. Clinton won Nevada by less than 27K votes, Colorado by less than 75K votes, Minnesota, by less than 44K votes and in New Hampshire Hillary Clinton won by less than 3,000 votes. If she is interested in merely "verifying" the results why doesn't she want a recount in those states as well?

The facts are that Clinton would need 68 electoral votes to switch the results of election night. That big a shift has never happened and would never happen, not even this time. The Left's real purpose is to either corrupt the Electoral College with intimidation and death threats, or throw the election into the House by making it impossible for the Electoral College to function on December 19th, and you know it.. They still wouldn't win because the House is now controlled by the Republicans, but then the "Progressives" will claim that Trump stole the election and create chaos in the country, even worse than their Media Matters puppets have orchestrated with the SJWs and BLM since the election.

See subject: Is that Soros funds them (& backed Hillary Clinton along w/ Wahhabi violent muslims in Saudi Arabia) + the FORD foundation (not even Ford Motor anymore) - the man who has stated he wants the USA broken, led his own Jew faithed folks into captivity & stealing from them, & think he is a God (literally, & a God/Christ complex is 1 of the 1st signs of a psychotic break) - he has NO QUALMS about doing what he does, saying "if I don't someone else will" & is completely amoral (morals are for men, NOT gods - right George? Above ALL else, a God NEEDS compassion (quoting Capt. Kirk to Lt. Gary Mitchell on that one from the StarTrek TOS 'pilot' episode "Where no man has gone before")).

Please, give me a break - I guess "slingin' rocks is HARD work", eh??) - I've seen those good black folks say "You fools are being PLAYED!" & they are, by Soros (to stir the USA into a racewar, so he + his IMF pals can break us imo)... apk

I find it hilarious that you think that "vote fraud" and "hacking" are some how not the same in regards to corrupting the outcome of an election. Does it matter if electing staffers are stuffing ballots https://www.youtube.com/watch?... or using electronic means to do so?

Vote Fraud it Vote Fraud. It is either "mythical" or it is real. There is plenty of hypocrisy by both (R) and (D) here. Its just that the Hypocrsy of the (D) is really clear this time. You're just pissed that they were caught.

What you just posted was a video of various people reloading laser jet printers with paper, randomizing the ballots before counting, and standing and talking to eachother. If you would just closely watch the video and research just a teeny tiny bit you would figure out that no fraud occurred, at least in that specific video.

This was during the time that Google Earth was New! Exciting! AJAX?! For a prototype, we lifted *the customer's own marketing map graphic* and overlaid a colored disk at each location representing current status.

Two side effects of the prototype demo: first, the sheer wonderment of "how did you get that?! Is it a satellite?! IS IT GOOGLE EARTH?!" Second: "How does it know the status?" "Holy crap! Maple Ave node IS RED ZOMG CALL SOMEONE WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!"

The best part: explaining it was (1) a simple .jpg we lifted directly from their marketing swag, and (2) it was just a prototype and didn't mean anything *did not do a damned thing*. They still believed we had satellites monitoring the systems (why satellites? How would satellites know the status?)

This desperately needs to be called the Zoolander Effect.

Hillary lost because of real news about how she was a terrible candidate, not because of fake news or hate speech or the Russians or any other conspiracy theory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Here is my guess why she lost. People are actually fairly short-sighted. They vote for their own interests and ignore things that don't really matter to them. Trump lied about everything, but some of those lies appealed. Seriously, his lies often contradicted himself. Drain the swap. Seriously? Have you checked the swamp lately? I'm fairly sure fukushima is healthier. Return all the manufacturing jobs? Nope. Sure many may come back, but they are going to be done by robots. Cut taxes, yes he will probably do that, which will make the deficit even worse. Last time it happened they blamed the democrat that came after. Convenient aint it? Sure he saved what 2/3'rds of the carrier jobs, but he did it with a bribe. Bribing companies to not leave is not a strategy. That will not end well.

Destroy the EPA and regulations? Yea, he is going to do that. Hope you don't have grandchildren. Sure some probably need to go, but hiring deniers, is not the solution. Hell he was even trying to collect the names of everyone who helped obama develop climate policy, presumably for an enemies list.

Attempt to bully his way against, well everyone. Yea, he is doing that. I don't think this will work for long. Too many people are willing to tell him f u, right now and to hell with the consequences. I'm of course posting as an AC, so perhaps I'm not there yet. I'm assuming that within two years he will lost the respect from most people, and most governments, effectively weakening us for decades. Of course obama did a little of that when he threatened to act and didn't. Then again trump just might start to grind our military into the dust to address all real and imagined slights. We went from no drama obama, to all drama trump. He literally told us he would keep us in suspense as to whether he would accept the results of the election and has work to shutdown what would be harmless recounts.

Were the russians behind trump? Directly probably not, but he did have people communicating with wikileaks, and russia was hacking everyone to keep them topped off. They did everything they directly could. Were russian's enough to help trump win? Yes, they easily were. He didn't win by that much. In fact he lost by what close to 3 million votes.

Were non partisan greedy arses behind part of it? You bet. Apparently fake news makes money. They didn't care about the election. They just wanted paid for clicks and it worked really well. They probably did at least as much as Russia. Unfortunately I don't really see our electorate improving enough to wise up to these things.

Did comey basically gift wrap the white house for him? He did all he could. Comey easily pushed the election in Trump's favour.

Will a lot of people lose health insurance and die meaningless and sometimes lingering painful deaths once the protections of obamacare are gone? You bet. What you think elections didn't have consequences? Best case is they keep the popular bits and get rid of the unpopular bits, such as the mandate. Guess what that will do. Rates will explode then they will blame the democrats.

Will Trump change the court so much that women are forced to go to back alley abortions and such? Simon says yes, it is likely. He can certainly appoint enough judges in 4 years to flip it. He also said the women must be punished. What you don't believe him? It is possible he is lying. I'm pretty sure he supports cancelling the birth control provisions of Obamacare, which will just increase the number of children born to women not ready to raise them, and be an additional drain on societies resources.

Will Trump destroy our reputation for generations to come? Sure. He is basically saying fu to everyone but A

It's nothing like flappy bird.

The game is OBVIOUSLY a modded version of the New Super Mario Bros engine, used in NSMB, NSMB Wii, NSMB 2, and NSMB U. Anyone with passing knowledge of the industry can see it at a glance. The wall jump, air spin, coins, enemies, level designs and assets are all direct ports from NSMB.

The new additions seen so far are: Hopping over enemies, climbing up on ledges, the arrow blocks, and I think the arrow springs. And of course the constant running left or right. It's a clever concept for a mobile title I suppose, and at least it can be said that Nintendo will at least show kids on mobile what an actual games looks like.

But please. Just because your experience of video game over the last 5 years has been a parade of anemic titles that wouldn't have made it on Newgrounds 15 years ago, don't assume that a game that has green pipes and goes right is a clone of flappy bird.

Most people keep it short, most people keep a normal conversation volume and most of those who don't will take a hint.

Our new phone improves on the energetic properties we previously introduced. Its all-glass body provides an unobstructed view of the internal components as they fuse and divide, fundamentally transforming into something other than what they were, while releasing the primal energies contained within the device creates a pristine seamlessness between the case and the user's hand, allowing for a first-of-its-kind experience that is truly magical.
