    Agreed!

    Why you gotta waste time with a ribbon and coming back later?

    Pick the berries then chop the shit down immediately right then and there.

    Oh - so now the thieves will be able to PIRATE 3D reality too!! At what dimension will a stop be put to the madness??

    You can't go around copying shit people. It infringes on to the rights of those that don't want you to be doing that!! So stop it!! Don't buy these things no matter what evil google would encourage.

  4. Re:Grammar on Your Old CD Collection Is Dying · · Score: 1

    The oxidation stops and that single layer is 'permanent' ONLY IF the insulating layer of oxide isn't disturbed.

    I just had to purchase a new wheel for my bicycle because the aluminum rim was getting eaten through by the oxidation.

    Keep in mind I live in Canada and ride straight through the winters and all kinds of inclement weather. My suspicion is that the water was seeping through the spoke holes and therefore continually washing away the insulating layer of aluminum oxide and upon inspection of the process it seemed to me that somehow the salt was assisting to accelerate the process.

    I bought the bike brand new in 2007 and visually confirmed the severe deterioration of the aluminum myself a couple weeks ago when the wheel was replaced and it was replaced for that reason: it was so bad it became a safety concern.

    Up until then I - like you - assumed such a thing could not happen due to the nature of aluminum oxidation. But you must remember aluminum oxidizes EVEN MORE READILY than steel it's just that the insulating layer USUALLY protects it. You get something constantly washing away that insulating layer and you're getting a disintegrating piece of aluminum!

  5. Communists on Harvard Study Links Neonicotinoid Pesticide To Colony Collapse Disorder · · Score: 0

    Sounds like some kind of communist scam designed to cut into the nicotinoid producers. We've seen this sort of anti-democratic behavior before what with the chlorofluorocarbons, leaded gasoline, DDT, asbestos and the like. Pretty soon it'll be nobody can make an honest buck anymore!!

  6. Again? on Google Testing Gmail Redesign · · Score: 0

    Wasn't gmail already re-designed at some point since it debuted?

    Maybe if Google quite wasting so much money on development they wouldn't need to sell our personal information to so many advertisers?

    I'm thinking it's great opportunity to reduce the amount of evil committed.

  7. Enhancements on Luke Prosthetic Arm Approved By FDA · · Score: 2

    When I read about the idea of commercializing this product I thought to myself why should these types of gear be only for replacing limbs?

    Would it be useful to have a third, fourth, or more arm attachments?

    Could it open up new capacities for accomplishing manual tasks, for example?

    Why should the amputees be the only ones who get cool toys?

  8. Nonsense on Autonomous Car Ethics: If a Crash Is Unavoidable, What Does It Hit? · · Score: 2

    There's no such thing as an intentional accidents. An autonomous program that is paying attention will not have such a situation and therefore the manufacturers will always be responsible for failure.

    it's getting warmer everywhere except where *I* live.

That is all that's happening to the climate".

  24. Re:Okay, stupid question from a non-astronomer... on Frigid Brown Dwarf Found Only 7.2 Light-Years Away · · Score: 1

    I totally agree with you. I mean - here's the thing that's always bothered me - if there is SO MUCH F-ing dark matter and dark energy then how is it so mysteriously EVERYWHERE ELSE in the universe but not anywhere near here? If the universe has been permeated by so much of this stuff there's no reason to believe it doesn not permeate our local little section of that universe is there?

    This is why I'm with you: "dark matter" and "dark energy" are really just placeholders signifiying our model of astrophysics is less than complete and correct.

    I'd say we're at least as far away from understanding physics properly as newtownian physics is from general relativity. And most likely even more far away than that.

    And that's ok: it's part of learning. But don't try to buffalo us with some made up crap that is everywhere in the universe but not here. That starts to sound like 'god' to me. I thought scienctists had more humility than that?
