  1. Re:Democrats are not our champions on FCC Rescinds Claim That AT&T, Verizon Violated Net Neutrality (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are you mad? There hasn't been any improvements to infrastructure because Republicans refuse to pay for anything. They have been actively been working against the executive branch for 8 years precisely so that you can make the above statement. They controlled the purse. If they had worked with the President we would have seen something. The Republicans are not set up to legislate anything, instead, you see Trump talking about toll roads, so yes, you will see infrastructure but likely given to private parties in which you will be paying tolls on. In fact, I will bet you, your taxes won't be going down anytime soon either, but a lot of things are going to be expensive.

  2. Republicans have never been for competition or free market principles. They want to go back to the early days of the industrial revolution. While they are gutting this stuff, they are putting in a national right to work law to put the final nail on the coffins of unions. So the little guys handled the keys to the nation to a bunch of people who are actively working against them for a nebulous sounding promise of "Make America Great" again. So yeah, the Republicans are going to use Trump to put every bill they can in front of em, and when shit hits the fan (because it will) Trump will get the blame.

  3. Uh, no.. it would never have occurred to me to do that.. mostly because my department would not be so callous (that would be the HR people or corporate) and they were my friends. I wouldn't do that to them, and I would lose respect as well. So if you do this, you are definitely not someone I want to hire.

  4. I'm not sure who is supposed to be responsible in a termination that was immediate against a hostile worker.

  5. Who cares? Isn't his buddy Trump in charge in two days? The two alleged accused rapists can meet up and party up and feel each other's pain.

  6. Kudos to Obama for trolling Assange as a final fuck you. Well played, sir.

    Here is a guardian article.. basically, they don't want green energy. I have no idea why they give a shit. This is capitalism at work. Of course, energy sector is old energy, and they got plenty of lobbyists who know how to grease politician hands, maybe green energy hasn't figured how to do that?

    The main problem is scalability... Taking 30 minutes a charge is fine, as long as people know the etiquette. e.g. don't leave your vehicle after it is charged, as others need to use it too.. and if you're on a waiting list, then that is going to suck because at most you have to wait 30 minutes, and then another 30 minutes, and so you are now into an hour to charge. It might be better to start moving to autonomous electric cars at that point..

    So, I assume they don't actually talk on the phone.. but the idea of two committed men from different religion talking dirty to each other because one of them thinks the other is an attractive member of the opposite sex to be hilarious.

    It's going to get worse now that we are going to have Trump in charge.. they will only be further encouraged - source: the ambassador to Israel nominated by Trump is a pro-settlement guy. Looks like we are going to be taking sides, and that is really unfortunate.

    Were they ever to begin with? It just seemed like small government was just another way of saying less interference in making money. That said we do need a conservative thought to help curb government excesses. I'm not saying government is a friend, more of a beast that needs to be properly chained. :-)

    That's because it is part of the Republican platform and people identify themselves as conservative vote Republican without any actual idea if conservatism is actually being practiced including using outdated economic models that doesn't provide any benefit to voters.

    If so, it would mean anyone who buys a computer and installs Linux Mint (non-South Carolina version) on their PC has now broken the law.

    Hey, don't knock Linux Mint South Carolina edition! Actually, it's known in the South as the Linux Mint JULEP edition. I've been using it ever since Version 1.0 ("Anti Abolition"), though it really only came into its own in the third version ("Commendable Calhoun"). The recent LTS versions ("Slightly Secessionist" and "Somewhat Segregationist") are really terrific!

    I'm using the bootleg version! Runs a little hot though. Still a smooth experience all the same.

    This is why younger generations don't give two shits about religion because of bullshit like this. You can bet that several of those kids at the religious university must have done a double take when these religionists decided to throw their weight behind Trump a man who represents almost no Christian values.
