  1. Re:Lobstertarianism? on As Google Maps Renames Neighborhoods, Residents Fume (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    In the US official place names are tracked by the Census Bureau and the Postal Service.

  2. Re:As long as the security isn't proper id... on Senate Rejects New Money For Election Security (apnews.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    The more illegal aliens a state has, the higher the chances are that they will get more representatives after the next census.

  3. Re:No, nazi trashmind faggot on Amazon's Facial Recognition Wrongly Identifies 28 Lawmakers, ACLU Says (nytimes.com) · · Score: -1

    The only politician with real evidence of election collusion with the Russians was Ted Kennedy.

  4. Who is the idiot who posted this? on Comcast and Xfinity Facing a Nationwide Outage [Update: Company Confirms] · · Score: 1

    There are several messages on the Comcast twitter account that is linked regarding the issue yet msmash states that Comcast has not acknowledged it.

    Are the messages encrypted?

  6. Re:It'll take a show with a larger audience to mat on China Blocks HBO After John Oliver's Last Week Tonight Mockery of Xi Jinping (scmp.com) · · Score: 0

    All he does is yell at the camera. I wouldn't watch even if I agreed with what he says. Not really funny.

  7. Baseball on Should Professional Sports Switch To Robot Referees? (hpe.com) · · Score: 1

    Baseball could use cameras or other tech to judge balls/strikes but other parts of the game wouldn't work. On a double-play, the second baseman isn't required to touch the base before throwing to first.

  8. Global warming? on A CO2 Shortage is Causing a Beer and Meat Crisis in Britain (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    That is what they get for buying into the global warming/CO2 is bad story. They need a machine that will suck CO2 from the air and put it into the bottles they use in the beer & meat industry.

  9. Re:Shocking allegations? on 5 Star Trek Shows in Development, 1 Could Star Patrick Stewart, Reports Say (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Most of the stuff in the summary is not in the linked story so either msmash did a horrible job typing it up or made up things. The linked story doesn't say anything about Patrick Stewart or the reasons for the show runnner's dismissal.

  10. Listing Lazily on Another Day, Another Intel CPU Security Hole: Lazy State (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    They're listing lazily to the left. Boy, this guy knows some maneuvers.

  12. Why I Lost on Chile Becomes First Country In Americas To Ban Plastic Bags (ewn.co.za) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this mean that Hillary Clinton won't be allowed in the country?

  13. Re:Bad and Wrong now more valuable than Don't Be E on Microsoft Is Now More Valuable Than Alphabet (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Stock value works on supply & demand. If the company issues more stock, the price will go down if there are no other factors pushing it up. A company with lots of cash and a poor performing stock price will do a buy back which forces the price up because now there are fewer available.

  14. Re:The Windows Phone of cars on Number of Electric Vehicles on Roads Reaches Three Million: IEA (reuters.com) · · Score: -1

    Actually a large percentage of electric vehicles are coal powered. Electric is only good for the environment if your electric power comes from non-fossil fuel sources.

  15. A Vermonter's Perspective on Vermont Wants To Pay Companies To Let Employees Work Remotely (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    The people in the state legislature are pretty clueless about most things. Our Lt. Gov. is a farmer with a pony tail that almost reaches his ass.

    In per-capita spending on our public colleges, we come in dead last. And they wonder why all the kids move away.

    I work from home for a company in Virginia. Some of the benefits of working from home is that I can wear pajamas all day and take a short nap in the afternoon if I want. I can't do either of those if I have to drive into town to work from a office that I share with other people who all work for a different company.

  16. Re: Spoilers on A Star Wars Boba Fett Movie Is In the Works (variety.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Correct. The clones were of Jango and were given a growth drug so they would become adult age much faster. Jango asked his bosses to allow him to keep a clone as his son who would not be given the growth drug.

  17. Re:The End in Nigh... on Missing Climate Goals Could Cost the World $20 Trillion (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    I would guess that at least 10 billion people will die over the next 100 years, probably more.

  18. Lake Champlain supposedly has a monster known as Champ. The story is that Samuel de Champlain saw it when he first discovered the lake.

    I saw something suspicious in two nearby lakes, Lake George in New York and Lake Bomoseen in Vermont. What at first appeared like a large creature with humps was actually several pike or sturgeon travelling nose to tail just barely under the surface.

  19. What Balls on Cops Will Soon ID You Via Your Roof Rack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    So if I call the cops to complain about the guy in my town who drives a pickup truck with giant chrome testicles hanging from the hitch, they will know who I'm talking about?

  20. The real news on Facebook Plans To Create Its Own Cryptocurrency: Report (cheddar.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    The real news here is that Facebook has a female employee whose work is valued by upper management.

  21. Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway: “And I think the people who are professional traders that go into trading cryptocurrencies, it’s just disgusting. It’s like somebody else is trading turds and you decide, ‘I can’t be left out.'”

  22. Well You Say That As If It's A Bad Thing. But Honestly It's The Best Thing There Is.

  23. Re:What is KMPH? on New Hyperloop Cargo Company Promises Deliveries at 600 MPH (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    It wasn't that I had no idea what the author meant, my post was supposed to be a funny comment on how stupid CNN is. In fact I did google it and came up with two items. It is the stock symbol for a company called KemPharm and the call letters for a TV station in California. Nobody in the US uses KMPH as a unit of measurement and since everyone else is metric, neither do they.

  24. What is KMPH? on New Hyperloop Cargo Company Promises Deliveries at 600 MPH (cnn.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I guess CNN has invented a new unit of speed measurement. I'm guessing 'kmph' would be 1000 miles per hour so 378 kmph would actually be 378,000 mph.

  25. If you can figure out how to combine graphene and bitcoin, you'd be rich!
