  1. Re:Does this predict ruling? on Supreme Court Partially Revives Travel Ban, Will Hear Appeal (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In a way it is surprising because there has been little dissent among the lower courts.

    I suspect this is because the lower courts have placed themselves in the ridiculous position of declaring that a order enacted under one President would be Constitutional while that very same order enacted under another President would be Unconstitutional.

    Further, That an order enacted by a President would be Constitutional until it is discovered that the President made that order with a pejorative mindset.

    Either the executive can make this kind of order or they cannot. The legality cannot be dependent on the motivation.

    Maybe that's why YouTube is constantly blaming freeze frames and spinning videos on my local ISP.

    Oh, but wait. switching to PornHub, I get 720 and even HD playing flawlessly.

    Is it REALLY possible that YouTube is playing more videos that the Porn sites?

    No way!

    Imagine a class action lawsuit against Segate and other manufacturers for not providing the stated amount of space on a hard drive.

    The What The Fuck look you'd have on your face is the exact same look that anyone who ever purchased lumber in their lifetime would have at his lawsuit.

    It should be thrown out and the lawyer disbarred for being a complete fucking idiot.

    This is an incomprehensibly, unfathomably, stupefyingly crock of shit. I cannot grok anyone NOT knowing that 2x4 is 1.5x3.5.

    Are these the same people who don't know how to change a tire? Maybe they are the ones that are not smart enough to turn the water off at the street when something in the house floods. Wait...I know...they are the ones that continue to drive when the Oil light comes on in their car.

  7. Social Media will be the downfall of most societies I expect.

    Whether due to government manipulation, private interest manipulation, or merely coarsening the social discourse, Social Media really hasn't been a net benefit to society at all.

    It is better to let someone else make it, and just buy what we need.

    Let THEM deal with the pollution, costs, etc?

    If a steel plant can't be built and operated in the US as they are in China, then no one in the US should be buying steel from China.

    What is considered inhuman working conditions here are inhuman working conditions there. What is considering environmentally damaging here is environmentally damaging there. Etc. Etc.

    Just because it's "over there" doesn't mean that working conditions and environmental impacts are magically made acceptable

    Determining the safety of the plasma-deposition technology shouldn't take more than six months of carefully designed testing and comparison between 3-D Printed parts and forged/machines parts.

    But, the FAA will insist on writing a book for every step in the manufacturing of the 3-D printed device itself, then another book on every step of the 3-D printing process, then yet another book on the testing of EACH 3-D Printed part, a completely separate tracking system, etc. etc.

  25. Seems to me that most rational people would look at this and everything else going on in that part of the country and come to the conclusion that it's time to get the fuck outta there.

    The desire to live in some locale despite the obvious Housing/Transportation/Food(?) costs just so they can say they live there or go jogging by the bay is indicative of some really screwed up priorities, maybe even a mild mental disorder.
