Wow... you manage to be both correct as well as a total fucking dumbass (Dumbass!) at the same time:Of course things will get more expensive for U.S. consumers (no pain, no gain; what? You want something for nothing?? Pfft.); that's the fucking point. Instead of sending smaller sums overseas (to be later reinvested against us), we spend larger sums domestically. Yes,Dumbass; it hurts a little, at first... not doing so hurts far fucking more in the long run.
No.Centralizing everything (whether in the name of "capitalism" or "communism") with the power in the hands of fewer and fewer people who are able to monetize every fucking aspect of our lives...is how we return to feudalism.
I think part of the problem is that when I say "analog logic" - whether I'm referring to hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or mechanical - techie-types tend to visualize 2D images of circuits (i.e. schematics) rather than the actual three-dimensional machines they could potentially represent...
Forgetting and/or redefining simple words is how we become illiterate and ignorant. This is what happened when the Roman Empire collapsed, most of European society festered in abject stupidity, and Latin devolved into the various Continental "Romance Languages" that we know today. And it's happening again, thanks in part - to ignorant twits like you.
Only this time it's happening at a far faster rate.
I do see one advantage that a larger number of [presumably far cheaper] conventional car batteries could have over a smaller number or marine batteries (even if the effective capacity were the same): greater amps. However, that might be a solution to a largely non-existent problem; I'm not sure.
so the lead acid family of batteries would function very well for home storage
I suppose lead-acid car batteries would suffice if you didn't draw them down much each night... but what's the point if you can't use your full capacity without damaging 'em?? This calls for marine or deep cycle batteries that don't automatically become damaged when drained heavily.
The closest... but not even close; I'm envisioning an nvironment (likely 3D) where one has to build (like in Minecraft) simple logical circuits - starting with hydraulics and working on to pneumatics, perhaps - to defeat your enemy, harvest resources, etc. Think weapons, boobytraps, etc...
Okay, Dave, since the above AC seems to be spot-on about you: "With Apple, the iPhone is the product. With Facebook, you are the product." Still confused? Thought so.
Communism is all well and good when it's voluntary and at a local level (i.e. neighbors digging a shared well). History shows, however, that if it requires the pointing of a gun to implement it, there's nothing fucking communal about it at all; it just becomes another form of feudalism, albeit with Kommissars instead of Lords and Barons.
And your silly notion of "The Collective" doesn't fucking exist: human beings -are individuals.

Those two should not be mentioned in the same sentence.
... sounds like you tried it.
Didn't the PS 4 Pro (with 2x the graphics performance, for VR) just come out within the past year??

I fumbled the italics... there was actually some sense to it...

apparently there are still some naive people out there who really do think
They only think they're doing that.
Can anyone spot the Facebook shill? Hint: he smells bad.
Don't Facebook shills have more important things to do right now? Your ship is sinking, bitch.
Or you could call it the 'Black Knight,' which that pederast got the idea from.p Holy shit, those books did turn stupid, though...
It's too bad so few programmers study fluid logic or industrial automation; such a game would likely already exist.

a 'greek comforter'
That's the soothing relief (from the previous night's "festivities") that you get by shoving some freshly-cut aloe vera up your ass.
...the abject hypocrisy of the fundamentalist evangelical hustlers
Said hypocrisy has always been so obvious that only those who need to see it can't - or won't.
Exactly.

I am incapable of comprehending this number.
Government education's a bitch.
Except he's right: there are lots of mouthbreathers in the corporate world who lack proper vocabularies and have to resort to slang.
Damn; good question.
Except it clearly isn't, or the Chinese wouldn't be trying so hard to convince us otherwise.
