  1. Is that why Mick Jagger flew to NY for heart surgery?

  2. Short term gains, long term losses on The Swedish DJ Who Invented Industrially-Manufactured Pop Music (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Pop music is pretty close to dead due to lack of variety

  3. Re: Where are the parents? on 'Fortnite' May be a Virtual Game, But It's Having Real-life, Dangerous Effects (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    Ummm no. Most family courts will only do something if it causes immediate danger to the child like driving drunk with the kid in the car, and you are lucky if you can get action with even that. Courts don't give a crap if it is some parenting preference.

  4. The vast majority of people that try alcohol, or even heroin don't become addicted.

  5. Re:Get this off my Slashdot! on 'Fortnite' May be a Virtual Game, But It's Having Real-life, Dangerous Effects (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is that what you call having to get up in the middle of the night to take a leak?

  6. Good luck if you share custody with another parent that doesn't share your views.

  7. Deluded Slashdoters on 'Fortnite' May be a Virtual Game, But It's Having Real-life, Dangerous Effects (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    FFS people, video games are addictive. Are you really this clueless?

  8. Re:Put more $ into research for self driving vehic on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    To force everyone into a self-driving solution, insurance costs will be so high for a non-self driving car that only the .01% will be able to afford one.

    Your insurance charges are calculated directly from risk, because that is WTF insurance is. Why do people keep parroting this nonsense?

  9. Re:Hold on..... on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    That's what they deserve for exceeding the meme limit!

  10. Re:uhhh, not gonna happen on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    diminishing returns

  11. Re:Will this apply to motorbikes ? on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Why do you care? Has there been a rash of people injured or killed by motorcyclists?

  12. Re:This article doesn't feel quite right on First-of-Its-Kind US Nuclear Waste Dump Marks 20 Years (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    This waste is being buried in potash/salt mines that are geological features that have been literally unchanged for 100s of millions of years. Maybe someone has actually given some though to the issue? And yes, this is close to being in my back yard....

  13. Re:He's not wrong: on Cringely Pans Self-Driving Car Hype, Says They're Years Away (cringely.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you even understand what actuaries do? You pay based on your risk of causing damage. You risk has not changed when there are self driving cars around. Why would they charge you more?

  14. Re:Silly Jobs Program on As Costs Skyrocket, More US Cities Stop Recycling (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I would prefer that unnecessary plastics banned together. I would prefer buying food products in glass without plasticizers and other plastic components leaching into my food.

  15. Re:Microsoft: A Fart in a Skillet on TypeScript's Quiet, Steady Rise Among Programming Languages (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    For a stronger, bassier sound use a sauce pot.

  16. Silly Jobs Program on As Costs Skyrocket, More US Cities Stop Recycling (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    You cannot recycle mixed plastics and there is no way to separate them.

  17. It has been one of the worst winters in memory, there is fresh snow on the ground as I type.....

  18. Re:Back to the Future on USA Today Tech Columnist: Millennials Will Live To See a Cashless World (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    We have debit cards in the US the work the same way, but credit card companies have been incentivizing consumers to use their cards instead with cash back or other promotions. Our local Kroger subsidiary is no longer taking Visa in April due to high fees....

  19. Re:But how many are voluntary? on Microsoft Reaches 800 Million Windows 10 Devices (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there a registry key that says "Windows 10 Virus Edition"?

  20. You are correct that is the dictionary definition but a lot of people read more into it than that (yeah PT is pretty trash)

  21. The funny thing is that people think that 'patriarchy' will go away if you replace the men with women. Patriarchy is a system of hierarchical social structures that really don't depend on the sex of who is in it.

  22. Re:Best technology used for garbage on Gorilla Glass-Maker Plans To Produce Glass Suitable For Folding iPhones (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I wish they would innovate and make a rigid phone that will fit in my pocket

  23. Re:Reality is.... on Google Found it Paid Men Less Than Women For the Same Job (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Another possibility is that women may stick around longer which would reflect in their pay

  24. Re:Too large when folded on Huawei Unveils the Mate X, a Foldable 5G Smartphone That Costs $2,600 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Not to mention who cares if it is 'thin' if it is twice as thick when it is folded.

  25. You do know that we have tiny hairs in our lungs that clean out particulates? Sure you can overwhelm them but I doubt a Sunday roast will do it.
