  1. You are free to do what you want.

    You are not free to impose such a policy on others.

    In China, that policy has been responsible for infanticide.

  2. Holy Fuck.

    You just made the AC's point.

  3. The majority of people blame Government for the FL shooting.

  4. Re:Demand is Still Rising... on After Rising For 100 Years, Electricity Demand is Flat (vox.com) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    WE regulated to the extent that production of products became too expensive.

    WE also loosed trade laws to make manufacturing more cost effective overseas.

    WE also seem to be fighting any efforts to put tariffs on products from over seas.

    And finally, WE purchase these products.

    So unless you are living in a cave, eating stick and twigs, and walking everywhere you go, you have a part in all of this.

    ...but in developing countries.

    While TFA did point out, "US", it seems rather pointless because the demand, and thus the generation, and thus the pollution is occurring overseas.Just because it's not here doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

      It's like you cleaned up your back yard by throwing all the trash over the fence. Coming soon, we will be bitching at our neighbors about all the trash in their yard.

    So before the Enviro's celebrate, they should consider that they have successfully pushed the pollution into countries that are ill equipped to handle it from regulatory and societal standpoints, yet the US and other western countries are still benefiting from it.

  6. And lot$ of ammo

    When the first Self Driving Car kills someone?

  8. People like to hate on Keanu Reeves, but the dude has some very real gun skills.

  9. It is sad that people like you, who think stupid things like that, exist.

  10. Ironically, the Waffle House is considered by some top Chefs (Anthony Bourdain for instance) to be an outstanding example of American comfort food

    A neighborhood without an HOA is not a Somalia.

    HOAs are for people who enjoy conformity and sameness.

  12. What do you have to say to the 110lb woman?

    Is she just supposed to submit to a 200lb man?

    Would she be a coward hiding behind a gun?

    Funny how you mention cowards. You people are always saying you don't need a gun because we have the Police. Then when they fail, you say the Police are under no obligation into protect you. That gives us 4 deputies cowering behind their car at a FL High school.

    Better yet, join the board and then offer a resolution to dissolve it.

    I still say they are more deserving of an Adam Lanza than are church members.

    HOAs suck. Mass shooters should avoid schools and find some HOA board meeting.

    I mean, if people gotta die, better people that deserve it.

  15. Parenting is so 50s

    The Light is out at Apple.

    Cook is a mere reflection of what used to shine.

    Apple is coasting on decades of momentum, and slowing down with every "new" product that isn't actually new.

    There USED to be something special to misunderstand or underappreciated.

    But that's all done now.

    Apple is now just another HP or Dell

  20. Did you see their latest "new" movie?

    "Black Panther Guy"

    Not to be confused with the block buster, Black Panther from Marvel....

    So just more of their Grade B knock offs.

    I used to think that Slashdot's rating system was kind of wonky, but I grew to accept it. I still think it has issues.

    But one think they could do is allow us to filter out ACs as 90% of what they post is unmitigated fucking shit.
