  1. the pizza claims are bogus. on Robots Are Already Replacing Fast-Food Workers (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    the video claims " we are doing something never done before" and is 100% bullshit.

    Frozen pizza companies have had automated pizza making processes in place for nearly 3 decades now. Your frozen pizza has been "made by robots" since the 1980's.

    The process that place in the video uses is horribly inefficient and is more of a rube goldberg entertainment system than a proven robotic pizza making system.

    Federal law was passed against longarm open carry in response to the Black Panthers in the 60's and 70's. Learn your laws.

    Unless you are bat shit crazy or a felon. there are laws that cover that and every sane gun rights person supports them.

    The dude is bat shit crazy.

  4. Translation... on Fake News Prompts Gunman To 'Self-Investigate' Pizza Parlor (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Drooling Moron that believe everything and has no understanding about safety or even proper etiquette goes on a ego building adventure and finally gets what he needs from the police.

    The dude is a mental patient that needs serious help and because of how unstable he is needs to have firearms removed from his possession. Sorry but if you are that much of a headcase, you do NOT need to own guns.. There are laws in place that already state this.

  5. Not far off from reality. on Apple, Which Doesn't Reveal Watch Sales Data, Says Watch Sales Are Great (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    I see the fitbot watches the most, then Apple watches. the rarest is the android ones. I wish someone would make a decent round one that looks like a diver watch with some real waterproofing and at least 2 days of battery life.

  6. Trump and his cronies want stupid lower class so they dont question things and still believe the "american dream" and "work hard for your riches" bullshit.

    you don't get rich working hard. you get rich being born into it or bullshitting your way to it.

  7. Re:Elephant in the room on Why MakerBot Didn't Kickstart A 3D Printing Revolution (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    And you ignore that 3d printing is not about printing things you can buy.

    Where can I buy a Garmin to BMW GPS adapter plate? nowhere
    Where can I buy headphone hangers for my specific desk? nowhere
    Where can I buy a Death Star dice box for my friends that are Star Wars RPG lunatics? nowhere
    Where can I buy a switch delete plug for a 1979 civic? nowhere
    Where can I buy a China bolt style red 3Watt LED to Yamaha rear tail motorcycle mounts that look stock? nowhere.

    3d printing is for creating and printing things that you can not get, its for people that use their brains and create and then want to effortlessly get a plastic part.

    It has never been a "print out these things that you can just go buy" and I have no clue at all where you got such a horribly uninformed idea that it was.

  8. My monoprice mini was under $200.

    3d printing still takes a LOT of education and skill. and the bulk of the population does not want to bother with learning and tinkering

    THAT is the real reason.

  9. Musk is the only man that is actually building shit to help society and further humanity while making a profit.

    The other two are simply hiring others to make money off the masses for personal gain. Bozos and Zuck have done absolutely nothing for society, in fact many would say that have done the reverse.

    Yep. Plus they did not invent anything. This has existed for 3 years now as an open source project already. They copied other people's ideas.

  11. I wrote you didn't I?

    Oh wait, you are a very very simple shell script... Kind of explains why you are unstable and can't get a job or make friends.

  13. I hope so. on Russia Says Foreign Spies Plan Cyber Attack On Banking System (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    In fact please wipe out all bank loan records and records of liens. The american banking system needs to crater into ashes because it's only a tiny step above organized crime.

  14. start drinking a decent coffee. good coffee is not bitter.

  15. Freaking Obama hoarding the jobs until the end just so he can make the GOP look bad. SEE SEE!!!!! His Alien brain control device from Area 51 is unfair!

  16. or how about less sugar anyways? on Nestle Discovers 'Breakthrough' Method To Cut Sugar In Chocolate By 40% Without Affecting Taste (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Honestly I prefer european chocolate as it's not as overwhelmingly sweet. and anyone that actually likes chocolate likes a good dark chocolate that is already not as sweet.

    Force gas station to post in HUGE LETTERS the percentage and warnings against using it in cars older than 2003. 15% and higher will cause hell in older cars with shitty ECM's

    It's very simple, instead of being inefficient like a regular rocket engine and moves the rocket in space, it simply allows the rocket to be stationary and it moves the universe.

    Yes and Yes. and if we find a way to make a LOT of electricity, 10,000,000Kw of power into one will produce 1000N of thrust assuming a linear scale up.

          What is needed is to see if the drive will actually scale up.

    The other thing is, now that it is proven to actually work, refinements can be made to the whole design to increase efficiency that may give us even more thrust per KW of electrical energy.

  22. It is an engineering defect. on Apple Launches 'Touch Disease' Repair Program For iPhone 6 Plus (macrumors.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They dont backfill the BGA chip so it freaking cracks solder balls. They should fix the phones for free.
    Mine started having it, so I did the online trick of a reverse bend and then took it to the apple store for a trade in. got full value because it was perfect looking and functioned perfectly at that moment.

    Now I dont put my 7plus in a pocket at all. a holster or in a jacket inside pocket. no pants pockets ever

    So that means it's pretty ineffective. everything that is important to me is HTTPS, even my routers config pages.

    I have yet to see any important site not force HTTPS. Will this see that I log into "fluffybunnypodcast.com" with the username bunnyman42 and the password 12345? yep. but I fully expect that the chinese hackers already have this as I really dont care if they get free copies of the latest free fluffybunny broadcast.

    I thought they were also going to talk about the right to communicate for Ham radio operators basically telling HOA's to go fuck themselves in regards to ham radio antennas. and how most HOA's try and ban them.

    Hams save your ass during disasters, The local government is utterly inept at communications during disasters. and in some states like Florida, it's nearly impossible to buy a home that is not in a HOA.
