  1. Re:Oil and gas profits not as high as projected... on Ford To Stop Selling Every Car In North America But the Mustang, Focus Active (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Funny that they're discontinuing all the fuel efficient models just as the many-years-long slump in oil prices is ending.

    Perhaps Ford doesn't consider them efficient enough.

  2. I don't think there would be much reason outside of gaming consoles

    How about smooth playback of 24fps video on a 30 or 60hz display?

    Um... pure metal vs metal-containing rocks and metal oxides??

    Jesus Christ, I'm pro-nuke and even I think your post is completely slanted horseshit.

    This is already a thing.

  6. Re:Nefarious Plot on The Last Known Person Born in the 19th Century Dies in Japan at 117 (kottke.org) · · Score: 1

    I have an alternate theory: the older and wiser you are, the more likely you are to eventually give up - from sheer disgust if nothing else (apparently there was a huge wave of annoyed centenarians who said "enough is enough" when flat-brimmed hats came into vogue).

  7. Re:It's absolutely ridiculous and dehumanizing on Your Next Job Interview Could Be With a Racist Bot (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1
    Sorry for my sloppiness; I'd intended to lead with the following quote:

    Natives won't take??

    that natives won't take like meat processing and agriculture"Natives won't take??" Who the fuck do you think worked those jobs before there were so many "illegal, disposable employees" available? Those paid a lot more (obviously adjusted for actual inflation) and yeah, beef cost more (it also tended to be far higher quality) but that was okay, because "low wages" were enough to live on... and possibly even get somewhere in life.

    Free college for all would solve the low skilled worker crisis for 1/3 the cost

    Then we can all manage and supervise each other... in complete equality! ;)

  10. Re:Mythological war on coal. on White House Reportedly Exploring Wartime Rule To Help Coal, Nuclear (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    it was all the coal miners

    This isn't hard; repeat after me: "Coal Mining Companies." Coal miners are just folks desperate enough to feed their families that they're willing to endure [what for most Westerners] are dangerous, unhealthy and unimaginably unpleasant working conditions.

  11. Re:You're mad on UK Teen Who Hacked CIA Director Sentenced To 2 Years In Prison (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 0

    who the Kremlin has considered an intelligence source for the past two decades

    Told you this, did they... or did you call up AOL pretending to be Pootie-Poot?? GTFO, Pope; you're merely repeating what you've been told as if it were gospel... when certain rather loud parties have a vested interest in pushing this meme for the sake of [mostly] well-intentioned, "compassionate" libs - plus a few rabid, pro-Establishments, big-gov't nutballs such as yourself.

  12. Re:Crimes against humanity on Doctors Tried To Lower $148K Cancer Drug Cost; Makers Tripled Its Price (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Our Minuteman and nuclear sub force is enough to deter invasion.

    Right, keep the nuclear deterrents but get rid of any and all defensive weapons. Boats? Bullets? Rifles, tanks, attack aircraft? "We don't need 'em anymore; we've got nukes."

  17. Re:what about paying for drivers to buy cars with on Lyft Announces It Will Make All Rides Carbon Neutral (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    most have gone back to Chevy Caprice type vehicles

    And have they, now. Pray tell, what US-made rear-drive, chassis-equipped gas guzzler have they switched to from the Prius/hybrid Camry??

    Yeah, I didn't think so, either.

    Robbing from Peter to pay Paul... all in the interests of seeming to be something that you're not.

    Fuck off, Lyft.

  19. Meatfucker. The poorly-behaving Minds are the best.

  20. Distance equals one half of acceleration squared?

    I meant "Distance equals one half of the angle - I think - times time, squared." Been a little while since I had to calculate a trajectory. ;)

    LOLOL... mod me down all you want; UBI may be coming... and no, you won't live "very well on it" - seriously now, how fucking gullible is considered too much??

  23. Spot on. The "conservatives" I know - I use the term quite loosely - fall into two categories: those with reasonably-functional brains, who don't give two shits whether or not someone's gay or not - and those that do... either because they're gay themselves and are filled with self-loathing (for example, I've yet to meet a youth pastor who didn't set off my 'early warning' worse than a squadron of Soviet bombers)... or because they're just really stupid.

  24. Seriously, though... being an Okie, he says "heighth" instead of height and is so ignorant that, like virtually all other Okies, he's actually ignorant of the meaning of the word "ignorant" (in Oklahoma, "ignorant" means "belligerent.").

    F equals mass times acceleration? Distance equals one half of acceleration squared? Uh, no.

    You'll be able to live very well on that.

    We've reached "peak Kurzweil;" someone shut this naive moron up.
