  1. My sea level must be disconnected on Sea Level Rise Already Causing Billions in Home Value To Disappear (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I live near and have worked at sea for decades. Yet, I see no evidence that the beaches are being flooded, that people's houses are being flooded, or even that the piers that I've used are being flooded. (And no glacial rebound in this area.)

  2. Re:Thank you for the DOOOOOM announcement! on Summer Weather Is Getting 'Stuck' Due To Arctic Warming (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    How many kids you got? I've got four, and they're doing fine despite my RAM 2500 diesel. My youngest even built a 383 stroker recently--it really goes through the petroleum, too. The plants in his neighborhood love the extra food!

  3. Re:Summer? What Summer? on Summer Weather Is Getting 'Stuck' Due To Arctic Warming (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, it's out there, but I think it moved to Virginia. We seem to be getting Florida's weather this year. Speaking of which: where are all the hurricanes I was promised?

  4. Make sure you tell them that. Though if there's a buck in it, you may have less influence as a customer than you think. There's always your mattress.

  5. Re: Assassination? Or Hoax? on Venezuelan President Survives Drone Assassination Attempt (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's funny, especially when they openly label themselves as socialist. And I agree we need to look close at the US: I keep trying to find the empty grocery shelves--has anyone seen them? Finally, 'strawman' much? No one claimed infallibility for democracies, but they are the least worst of all forms of government, else you wouldn't be living here.

  6. I expect to read "SF Outlaws Brown Bags" next. That will be followed by outlawing eating outside a registered food facility. Somewhere in there, I expect to also read about open season on SF supervisors.

  7. Stand on it! on Who Owns the Moon? A Space Lawyer Answers (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    The real answer is the owner will be the nation, company, etc., standing on it with enough fire power to enforce their claim. Just like everything else in human history.

  8. Sure, why not? If gender can be ignored, I think having access to nut-milk is probably a requirement.

  9. filters don't porn on Researchers Find That Filters Don't Prevent Porn (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Filters don't porn people. People porn people.

  10. Call me when Ireland (53 N latitude - rainy about 200 days per year) has also stopped the use of all fossil fuels.

  11. Right. I could have been more professional.

  12. Bye, don't let the door etc.

  13. Well, I looked and looked but couldn't find "Liberator" (which is a single shot weapon, so stress from repeat firing isn't an issue) anywhere in your original very broad brush post. Maybe attention to detail isn't your thing.

  14. You really should learn something about firearms before posting stupid sh*t. A plastic lower, which is all that's being built in the printer, doesn't contain or in anyway interact with the actual force employed in firing a round. That takes place inside the STEEL chamber that is closed by a STEEL bolt or BCG. The NRA can help you with this. No new hands required, though with you, I hesitate to predict.

  15. Does Elon Musk know? on Spiders Can Fly Hundreds of Miles Using Electricity (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Quick, someone tell Musk how they do it.

  16. YES! They are! on Are the Wealthy Plotting To Leave Us Behind? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    They are, but you can spoil their insidious plot very simply: Just get rich, too!

  17. Re:Renter economy on How Much Americans Could Save by Ridesharing Driverless Cars Over Owning · · Score: 1

    You hit the key point. Free people can choose, and if you don't own it, you can't choose. It gets worse if you CAN'T own it. Thankfully, the Constitution protects property and freedoms. So, go ahead and go where you like like a free man, baby!

  18. Re:Google's Oxford Union debate - still a loser on Google Engineers Refused To Build Security Tool To Win Military Contracts (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It repeats because the basic element--the human element--hasn't changed since we left Eden or climbed out of the trees, depending on your preference.

  19. Google's Oxford Union debate - still a loser on Google Engineers Refused To Build Security Tool To Win Military Contracts (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    In February 1933, the Oxford Union debated the pacifistic motion, "that this House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country." The proposition was approved 275 votes to 153. Pacifism won, not just at Oxford, but throughout Britain. Appeasement became a policy of the British government in part because of the belief that the people would not fight. Appeasement encouraged Nazi aggrandizement. War followed anyway, despite the high-minded gestures of a bunch of undergraduates. I know, amazing, right? And many of them got to fight anyway.

  20. Re:Dumbasses on 'Netflix and Alphabet Will Need To Become ISPs, Fast' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    "Libertarian Socialist " is not a thing. And they probably were doing great except for that civil war thing. Might want to look again at Orwell's Homage to Catalonia.

  21. Re:Dumbasses on 'Netflix and Alphabet Will Need To Become ISPs, Fast' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're going to post ridic crap like that, maybe you should take a look at Matthew 22:21. Jesus cared nothing for your BS concerns about government or other worldly distractions. (And he like handing out the occasional beating, too. Matthew 21:12. Plus he would have owned an AR. Luke 22:36 - but don't let actually knowledge of the Book get in your way.)

  22. Re:Dumbasses on 'Netflix and Alphabet Will Need To Become ISPs, Fast' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    "No Socialism is people getting together and starting a co-op ISP." ...that is then taken away by the government and run by bureaucrats ensuring the same level of service vets get at the VA. Didn't you learn anything from Venezuela?

  23. He should just use all the accurate data provided by Michael Mann to prove his argument in his legal prosecution of Mark Steyn. Oh, wait....

  24. Re:Once more, with emphasis on Estonia To Become the World's First Free Public Transport Nation (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    It isn't possible to have everything that is desired--only children believe that. (A little too close to home?) So, think of price as an indicator of the boundaries of what you can accomplish in the real world. "Free" public transport, then, costs whatever you might otherwise have done with the money spent on this free thing. I'd love to go everywhere at no cost to me; what am I giving up? Free movies? A free pill?

  25. tiger or breeze? on 'Yanny vs. Laurel' Reveals Flaws In How We Listen To Audio (theproaudiofiles.com) · · Score: 1

    The tease indicates that this is a flaw, and I tuned in to see how is this is a flaw. Sounds to me like one of those random evolutionary differences that make one person hear the tiger when someone else only hears the wind.
