    don't forget the charbroil's, roller food, fountain drinks, energy beverages and donuts!

  2. I now host my own....email is too important to trust gmail OR Yahoo OR anyone else.

    That was certainly Hillary's stance as well

    You know... I could grow tomatoes in my back yard... but I don't... I buy them at retail.

    Yeah, I am with you.

    The constant security flaws in Android with no patches in sight are a major determining factor for not sticking with that platform.

    On the other end of the spectrum, I have a work issued iDevice and it is ok... but is so vanilla... it is the same as every other iDevice... no room for customization because Apple locks everything down.

    My Lumia 920 with Windows 10 is my daily driver. Does everything I need it to, runs like a champ and looks distinguished.

  5. I for one welcome our new female overlords.

  6. Wouldn't that be a box for "unlimited outgo"?

  7. We do know that European Google wears a goatee and has a motto of "be evil"...

  8. You could name a big red button the "Thiswillkillyou button" and people would still press it to see what it did.

    I think that says more about human curiosity than it does about human common sense.

    The common sense part would be to press the button with a 10' pole...

  9. Gonna oooook all night...

    Yeah... it is almost as though we are coming to understand that we are animals like any other on this planet...

  11. You, sir, merit mod points which I am lacking at the moment.

    Also, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

  12. Don't forget to buy a studio in L.A.!

  13. I like the way you think sir!

    If being a liar was an automatic disqualification, then nobody would ever be in office.

    Personally, I dislike most politicians because all of them are where they are because they pandered and lied in order to get into office.

    That said, lying is not necessarily bad. It is actually pretty much human nature to lie.

    I expect politicians to lie so there has to be other measures by which we evaluate potential leaders.

    Personally, I think that a good measure of a person is how they treat the people that they don't like. By this measure, I think that Hillary is a much better person than Donald Trump.

    Well... if we can't make this into a Clinton/Trump flame war then what's the point?

  16. I would have killed for a good free Alarm clock app years ago

    Me too. I resorted to a scheduled task to open a particular .mp3.

    I would wake up every morning to Opeth... but then I found that the negative association was starting to make me dislike my favorite songs... So I went back to a regular alarm clock.

  17. What did he say?

    No, see, this is just smart business. I think that the CEO of this company should run for office...

    Nice, thanks for the suggestions.

  20. I am thinking you would walk into the holodeck wall before anything else...

  21. So all you have to do is remove the ground prong... problem solved...

  22. It almost certainly is.... what other reason would there be for simulating yourself into suffering?

    Unless, all those other people are total simulations and I am the only real person in an instanced simulation... but... I suffer sometimes too... but not as bad as others... but they are complete fabrications to give me a relative baseline to measure against.... It is all coming into clarity now... I am the only true human!

  23. What if we are just in a series of nested simulations?

    We started with one simulation, but progressed to the technology level to be able to create a simulated reality that is perfect... and so on and so forth....

    It could be virtual turtles all the way down, people...

  24. Re:Many believe that we live in a computer simulat on Tech Billionaires Are Asking Scientists For Help To Break Humans Out of Computer Simulation (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I propose that we study this link between chemtrails and simulated reality... I bet you there is a connection....

  25. If you are jacked in, perhaps that is the "veil" that is commonly referenced in religious texts... as in, we come from the after-life and we return to the after-life once our trials are done here.

    So, if you just die... you will end the simulation and wake up in reality.
