  1. Re:artifact on Panoramic Picture Taken By China's Moon Lander · · Score: 1

    So that's not a comet near the horizon on the right of the image?
    darn

  2. Re:Did Civilization Create Beer? on The Archaeology of Beer · · Score: 1

    Seems reasonably near a viable pretext for social order; Warriors defend local farmers who produce their favorite life-giving brew.
    I'm in.

  3. Re:Turd Picking on Bill Gates Plays Secret Santa To Reddit User · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I pick up other people's garbage on a very regular basis; Not for any noble reasons, I happen to walk there and it offends my eye.
    Also in case I forget what pieces of shit most folks are, it reminds me.

  4. Re:Boo-de-fucking-hoo on US Spying Costs Boeing Military Jet Deal With Brazil · · Score: 1

    Cry me a river.

  5. Turd Polishing on Bill Gates Plays Secret Santa To Reddit User · · Score: 0

    More of a PR ploy than a "secret" if he's going to put a picture in there. Reminds me of all those awesome Microsoft commercials through the years.
    Takes a big roll of paper towels to get that blood off your hands.

  6. Re:Boohoo on US Spying Costs Boeing Military Jet Deal With Brazil · · Score: 1

    Pearl Harbor was a good example of what happens when you don't do a good job of spying on other countries.

    I always thought of it as an example of what happens when we interfere in Asia.
    Apparently, that's why we're here.

  7. Re:Fireworks in 3...2...1... on Satanists Propose Monument At Oklahoma State Capitol Next To Ten Commandments · · Score: 1

    I've met several satanists, but have always managed to avoid Devil Worshipers. Indeed, they seem to exist only in the rather vivid imaginations of Christians, AFAICT.

  8. Re:Baiting Christians. on Satanists Propose Monument At Oklahoma State Capitol Next To Ten Commandments · · Score: 1

    This is decidedly not what Gandhi would do, nor MLK.

    Actually, I am certain Anton would approve; I only met him once and we mostly just talked about Tommy-guns, but I read through his library and source materials. This is precisely what LaVeyan Satanism is about.

  9. We don't need no steenking intent! on Driver Arrested In Ohio For Secret Car Compartment Full of Nothing · · Score: 1

    I didn't think intent mattered any more, it specifically does not in California.

  10. Re:Regressive on Geeks For Monarchy: The Rise of the Neoreactionaries · · Score: 1

    A King, anointed by God, must retain the favor of said God by behaving in the proper manner, putting right and the good of his people foremost and protecting his loyal subjects from the evil merchant and military classes. If he says "Off with their heads." then we should make it so. (If he fails, then we equip the courtyard with pikemen for the ritual defenestration.)
    Works better than any other system we've tried, AFAICT.

  11. Regressive on Geeks For Monarchy: The Rise of the Neoreactionaries · · Score: 0

    Not all change is progress. But some of it is.

  12. Re:Sceptics turning a blind eye. on FBI Reports US Agencies Hacked By Anonymous · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Follow the money. If that won't convince you then I posit that anyone foolish enough to use Adobe Vectorware is at least uninformed, and incompetent, if not fully complicit in the security fail.

  13. Re:In the Garden of Eden on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Doug Ingle never even knew the actual lyrics.

  14. Re:"could care less"... on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 1

    It may be a regional thing. I hear it that way very often here in California. Occasionally even used correctly as the OP had it.

  15. Re:Share! on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 1

    When there's a real person out behind the website, like Lucky Wilbury, or Calin Coburn, then the right thing to do is patronise the legitimate source.
    How many of the "protected" artists are offering their own sites for this stuff?

  16. Re:The tracking website is down... on GOCE Satellite Is Falling To Earth But Nobody Knows Where It Will Land · · Score: 1

    IIRC, most of the damage from that recent event was windows shattering. Unless you have a dedicated blast shelter to go, to that's probably your best move.
    BTW, when I see bright flashes in the sky, I've trained myself to get behind something to avoid my skin catching fire, and then run to some substantial cover in the interval between the flash and the blast wave. Very cool looking until your retinas dissolve.

  17. Re:Not Climate Change on Largest and Most Intense Tropical Cyclone On Record Hits the Philippines · · Score: 1

    I am not a mathematician but I don't think the heat transfer from the phase change actually sends much of that out away from the planet. TFA mentioned ocean temperatures of 30C. That sounds like a catastrophe factory to me.
    BTW, everybody, I'm sorta proud to be thought a troll, but a simple look at my history will clarify that my original post was yet another lame attempt at sarcasm.

  18. Re:Hair dryer? on Largest and Most Intense Tropical Cyclone On Record Hits the Philippines · · Score: 1

    I always thought it was more like a blast furnace. Riding through the Sacramento Valley in summer, leathers zipped and gauntlets on, I used to marvel at the fools in shorts and shirtsleeves, and wonder how they survived at all. By around 160kph every leak or gap in my protection felt as if it was on fire.

  19. Not Climate Change on Largest and Most Intense Tropical Cyclone On Record Hits the Philippines · · Score: 0, Troll

    Remember kids, this is weather, not climate, and just natural a oscillation of the normal pattern.
    We sure couldn't afford to have this sort of shit every year.

  20. Re:Damn poop detector is going off again on Edward Snowden Leaks Could Help Paedophiles Escape Police, Says UK Government · · Score: 1

    That's the story I tell my son. I figure the British wisely decided to stop spending quite so much on Empire maintenance, and divert resources from legitimate open war over to covert corruption and false-flag destabilistion. Think how much cheaper it was for T.E. Lawrence to buy the Saud allegience than to actually try and impose military authority on the wily Pathan.* Somebody convinced the U.S. to take that Old Maid, since we were doing so well with our Spanish legacy.
    Osama Bin Laden's published strategy was to lure the U.S. Government away from that more efficient ploy and back into the same disastrous direct intervention that took down the British and Russian Empires. (He may be gone but he's still winning.)
    *stripped mother-naked and slathered in oil.

  21. Stability=Violent suppression of peaceful dissent.
    Mostly deployed by the super-villains of government. Watch for it.

  22. Re:Better headline: AMD's Radeon R9 290 Slashverti on AMD's Radeon R9 290 Delivers 290X Performance For $150 Less · · Score: 1

    the metal/leather, cheaper set sounds good for me. I've used their microphones, pretty much the high end of my personal experience. Thanks. (replaceble cables are at the top of my specifications.)

  23. Cue the dramatic music on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 1

    n/t

  24. With us or against us on The Feathered Threat To US Air Superiority · · Score: 1

    I reckon I'm an avian sympathiser myself. I don't much support the bombing of humans either, FWIW.

  25. Re:Sand? on Global Biological Experiment Generates Exciting New Results · · Score: 1

    The bacteria in the soil are evolving; I'd believe that the planet had (correctly) identified humans as a pathogen and was mobilising the antibodies, except this is anthropogenic. IIRC, the theme of the Bohemian Grove lecture series a few years back was the threats to profitability in the 21st century, and the conclusion was that the biggest threat was population, particularly all those Africans who were starting to get crazy ideas about owning the local resources and wanting to eat and stuff. I noted an apparent correlation with that weird white-cell deficiency thing started manifesting in the sexually promiscuous community, that they call HIV now. That shit had my spidey-sense tingling for a while, believe me. All these things correlate so nicely when you imagine that they could have been planned.
