  1. Everyone was pretty damn sure that was going to happen.

  2. Return to your roots, Rdio Shack on RadioShack Is Preparing to File For Bankruptcy Again (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a large maker community out there, that currently has to use mailorder for any small components. Being able to make a 20 minute trip is worth a huge markup on a 2.00 component, rather than having to wait 3 days for it to be delivered by mail. Personally, I haven't set foot into a Radio Shack store since I realized their selection of various components suck. Just like their electronics.

    The problem isn't that Obama was named. The problem is that now NK knows why their missiles kept crashing.

    Leaking this to make Obama look good was not a good idea.

    How much of California's pension system is unfunded?

    Yes, and multiple democrats have lied about it as well. There is nothing wrong with meeting a Russian Ambassador.

    I stand corrected. Although my statement about the squiggly lines is still correct, hehe.

    Obviously you've never been to a gun "fair". ATF doesn't have the constitutional power to regulate private sales.

    Can we say with certainty that it's not affected by mental telepaths who live in the mountains of Chile?

    It's California. There is no such thing as pseudoscience.

    EM radiation isn't in the visible spectrum. It's not visible as a series of squiggly lines emanating from devices, you know.

    Background checks should not be required for people who already own a gun purchased with a background check, nor should there be a waiting period.

    Why is it called a Federal Background check, and isn't the ATF a federal agency? Maybe we could get there if we had sanctuary cities for firearms purchases. Sounds like a good idea. What other federal laws could we circumvent with sanctuary cities? How about tax law?

    One thing that is consistent is that all those cities have been run by Democrats for decades.

    No. Snapchat was telling everytown that it would sell advertisements as usual, unless everytown purchased the ad space. The submitter and the journalist are playing fast and loose with the phrasing of the facts.

    Just google "everytown false". Slashdot is not getting more right wing, it is getting more liberal in the classical sense. It's your relative point of view that has changed.

  21. No, I'm interested in accuracy. And you have yet to define what "processed" means. Apparently it means prepared by someone other than yourself.

  22. Enjoy your raw unseasoned pork chops.

  23. OK, what makes "processed" meats inherently bad? Is it the "chemicals" they use? The fact that they are usually frozen? Or maybe it's just that they are made by a corporation, and we all know corporations are evil. Guess what? When you prepare a piece of fresh meat, whether it's with a marinade, or spices, or salt, or even grilling it over a fire, you are guilty of processing it.

  24. I'm not hating meat. I love meat. I just hate the stupid ignorance thrown about in conjunction with the terms processed, nitrates, and MSG. It seems the people that hate those things don't really understand what they are or why they are supposed to hate them.

  25. If you eat a steak and a spinach salad you are consuming more nitrates than you would with a couple hotdogs. Also, you can't use processed in the definition of processed.
