    Wow, I feel sorry for the poor bastards assigned to that department. Old farts complaining about their medical issues, all day every day

  6. Re:I brewed beer for a couple of years on Linux is an Obvious Choice for Automating the Beer-Brewing Process (Video) · · Score: 1

    Some of the best beers I've ever brewed, or sampled from others, have come from fuck ups during the process. Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew!

  7. Near as I can tell, it doesn't do the cleaning for you. That's always the most labor intensive part! Well, that and the drinking...

    Sure it is. So long as you keep your temperatures consistent, use identical grain bills, identical mash times and processes etc.

    Or you're the type of brewer that says "fuck it", because usually great beer comes out of the process, even if it's not identical to the last time you made that recipe.

    It's a perfectly cromulent word

    So they'd be like the SCO of the video game industry? That's actually a damned frightening thought.

  16. Re:More PHP on Book Review: MODx Revolution - Building the Web Your Way · · Score: 1

    Off-topic, I know, but what the fuck is a "bah-bah"?

  17. Re:Long term? on Nuclear Power Prevents More Deaths Than It Causes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why must we always blame "the environmentalists"? Fuck, the US has less restrictive environmental regulation compared to Canada and Japan, and those countries have "the environmentalists" as well.

    Maybe it's because our rotten fucking system can't build anything in a cost efficient manner, without pork? Maybe some other reason?

  18. Re:Why so expensive on NASA Gets $75 Million For Europa Mission · · Score: 2

    Further, if a police car pulls up in your driveway (on your property), are you allowed to shoot at it?

  23. Re:Military OH-6 vs Police/Civilian Hughes 500 ... on FAA Grants Arlington Texas Police Department Permission To Fly UAVs · · Score: 1

    "they may be more numerous" is exactly the point. At what level, surveillance capabilities wise, do we say that enough is enough? When there's hundreds of these things over every city?

  24. Re:Transparency on CIA To Hand Over Drone Program To Pentagon? · · Score: 1

    I don't think he is arguing that Nixon was in any way great. But I think it's true that the executive branch has become more secretive over time, and every presidency has tried to amass more power than the previous administration. Freaks me out to think of what the white house will look like 8 years from now, no matter which party is in office.
