  1. Re:Welp, looks like a big old nothing burger on Mueller Report 'Summary' Delivered to US Congress (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    You mean the 8 people in jail for unrelated crimes that they were pinned on to try to force them to act against the President? With an investigatory force as big as this Mule-er fella had, they could find something on anybody. And we are talking about political sleaze people who operated in Washington. It was easy to find stuff on them.

    Ted Kennedy makes Trump seem like an amateur. Kennedy made overt deals with the Soviet Union when they were still explicitly Communist. And the Kennedy dynasty got their money from illegal liquor trade during prohibition. Joe Kennedy was that era's Manuel Noriega.

    Not to change the topic, but we were talking about draft dodging pieces of shit.

    It explains why McCain was a piece of shit. And went on to be a piece of shit through his entire life. Very honorably, mind you. That's how a piece of shit manages to die old and in bed.

    McCain wasn't a great main. He was the son and grandson of Admirals. That was the only reason he even got his wings. He was a silver spoon pilot, and became a silver spoon POW.

    The Democrats in the house will rail on about this long enough to really stink up their chances of winning a president in 2020. Nancy probably won't be capable of shutting them up. It will be ironic, because Trump Derangement Syndrome is going to be a major factor in Trump getting re-elected.

    Yes, and we can expect an impartial and fair hearing from the Deep Blue states who are shaking their fists.

    No, they pointed out that Clinton is a big-time globalist. She would have been 'the president from Goldman-Sachs'. A clearly bought-out 'centrist' Democrat.

    If Clinton was president right now, we would be mired in a land war in Syria. Which, mind you, is all about US energy interests wanting a natural gas pipeline across Syria that Assad will not give them. Nothing more.

    Trump is very clearly a jackass, though.

    That's the other party. Trump is a pachyderm.

  9. Note, however, the much derided comment about "no wireless" which has somehow now flipped around.

  10. He'd certainly never last long as a salescritter in the marketing dept.

  11. Nice grammatical correction.

    The poor grammar original from Apple Marketing* was "Think Different"

    (*but now I am being redundant)

  12. Also, it would mean that Apple would need to design cooperatively with outside entities. NIH is a big, big deal with Apple. I'm even surprised they haven't been selling phones with 3.65mm earphone jacks. Apple loves proprietary. A primary goal is brand lock-in.

    The whole point of the EV crusade is to eventually ban cars. If it can be done without any explicit laws, they have succeeded greatly.

  14. How DARE you not let Apple change history.

    I'm afraid you're now banned from the Apple Store. You'll need to make lifestyle adjustments.

    Apple technicians aren't good enough at their work to not have a high chance of breaking it further if they attempt battery replacement. Plus, being clumsy means they can rationalize a mandatory $200 charge to the average Apple customer.

    Apple isn't good enough at battery compartment design to make a good replaceable battery. I have a Newton and it has a really shit battery door. It's highly designed and complex, but the tricky catch mechanism is broken. I'm pretty sure it was considered 'reward winning design' by whomever came up with it's cleverness.

    My waterproof case is even large enough to also keep a spare pack of cigarettes in it. Is yours gargantuan, too, or does it only double the size of your phone?

  18. How can it be properly recycled if it is 'really hard to get out'? Is there a quick destructive method of getting the battery out? I suspect there must, or Apple is REALLY violating environmental guidelines. One would think they would make it EASY to destructively remove the battery.

    You shouldn't post anything on Facebook that you wouldn't put on the bulletin board in your local supermarket.

    Oh, I forgot. Many people now live in megalopolises and don't *have* a bulletin board at their local supermarket.

    I guess for you I meant anything you wouldn't put on a poster on the telephone pole the crack dealer hangs out near.

  23. Fix your caps lock key. Or maybe just buy a new keyboard. You've almost certainly sputtered on that one enough that it's very damaged.

  24. There's a statute of limitations on Hillary Clinton. She's getting old. Thank goodness.
