  1. Don't stop there on Elizabeth Warren Calls For a National Right-to-Repair Law for Tractors (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    If something is legal to do by oneself, it should always be legal to pay someone else to do it for you.

  2. Cut them off on Israel To Launch First Privately Funded Moon Mission (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess if they can afford this type of thing, they'll need no future foreign aid from the U.S.

  3. Nicotine delivery system on Tobacco Use is Soaring Among US Kids, Driven By E-cigarettes (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    How's about a cheaper, cleaner, safer nicotine delivery system? Regulate that shit like caffeine.

  4. 4.5G on Sprint Sues AT&T Over 5G Branding (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Why not be smart and use 4.5G?

  5. Why not create a race of sub-humans with no frontal cortex to harvest organs? Seems like a logical, ethical, win-win scenario.

  6. If it's made at the same factory as the original, it can never be a fake or counterfeit.

  7. Re:Don't do heroin, kids on Colin Kroll, Founder of HQ Trivia and Vine, Died of Accidental Drug Overdose (nbcnewyork.com) · · Score: 1

    Odds are it was the fentanyl that got him.

    The odds are that being prescribed codeine/oxy/etc in the first place got him on the train to heroin, which had a transfer to fentanyl.

    FTFY

  8. dvdupcs + vudu = win on UltraViolet Digital Movie Locker is Shutting Down (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I've been plundering vudu's disc-to-digital program for a few years now. Get the app and go to dvdupc.com and enjoy $2 HD movie purchases.

  9. Similar to IFC (Independent Film Channel), they used to be ad-free during the content, but not anymore. I don't even think they are uncut/unedited anymore, either.

  10. The biggest gambling racket in the world is Wall Street. Investing is nothing more than gambling and should be taxed and regulated as such.

  11. Hollywood accounting on WeWork's CEO Makes Millions as Landlord To WeWork (wsj.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hollywood accounting in its base form.

  12. Re: Ma Bell up to its old tricks! on AT&T Will Keep Your Money If You Cancel TV Or Internet In Middle of Billing Cycle (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    It'd be better to just eminent domain the stuff and give it away to local government to run as a utility.

  13. Re:Why does everything in California suck on Air Quality in San Francisco is So Bad that Uber Drivers Are Selling Masks Out of Their Cars (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Cool, I guess your shitty state should get none of CA's federal tax money, right?

  14. The most ethical thing to do is grow human[oid]s minus the frontal cortex to serve as organ farms. Anything less is a waste of time and money.

  15. Been using them for a decade+, never needed customer service.

  16. I agree a bit with the 4k stuff. There needs to be a lot more, especially via streaming services, as opposed to streaming shops. If the movie is available elsewhere in 4k, Netflix needs to make sure they have it. They're not the only ones, though. Amazon Prime Video has a small, very-slow-to-grow, 4k section. Then there are assholes like Hulu, that stream some of their newer shows in 4k but only on consoles... wtf? For shops, I've bought quite a handful of 4k movies through Vudu & FandangoNow. There are also tons of movie key sites that sell them for less, sourced from people not needing their Ultraviolet copies. A good start is ultravioletcinema(dot)com, as they list movies from multiple sites.

  17. Aren't itunes movies part of Movies Anywhere now? Are the purchases available there?

  18. Re:Drug lords... on OxyContin Billionaire Patents Drug To Treat Opioid Addiction (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Then why the push by Purdue, back in the day, saying Oxy wasn't habit-forming?

  19. At this point, the last of their non-CC versions should be near free. We're still conflating the infinitely replicable with tangible goods, right?

  20. Fix up the music licenses on How 'Grand Theft Auto' Is Changing the Way the World Experiences Music (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    In the day and age of video game streamers, you have to be a completely retarded as a company to not also get the rights to stream the game as intended.

  21. If you counted all the 18-34 year olds that are currently in Chicago, you'll find a number higher than the census reports.
    Tourists, workers who live out of town, etc, could easily swell up to 4x the amount.

  22. Re:This isn't a tragedy. on Nintendo's Offensive, Tragic, and Totally Legal Erasure of ROM Sites (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    They couldn't have just removed the infringing content?

  23. Re:I'd like to use other sites (Walmart, Target) b on Amazon's Share of the US Ecommerce Market Is Now 49 Percent (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    My problem with brick-and-mortar search engines is they don't make it easy enough to simply find the closest store with the item I want. If I'm going to Walmart or Target websites, that usually means I want it *now*.

    Right? It's the same with Best Buy. If I see something that it is in stock at a local store, I should be able to buy it and have them deliver it that day, for a small fee. Something that should be so simple loses to Amazon every single time. Target now has a similar service to Prime Now and so does Walmart, at least through Sam's Club. If these other places, like Best Buy, want to stay relevant, they need to add some value/services. It used to be taxes or time, but nowthey all tax, so you have to be as fastas your competition.

  24. Re:The problem with the Ultra plan on Netflix is Testing a New 'Ultra' Tier of Service (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's really sparse. Thor: Ragnarok is available elsewhere in UHD, but Netflix, despite these tiers, won't pay the extra licensing? Sad.

  25. Sellers' state should be the taxed side on Tech Giants Urge Congress To 'Protect Entrepreneurs' From Supreme Court Ruling (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You are buying it from them, where they are located. Anything else seems retarded.
