    Oh yeah THEY don't have a conflict of interest here.

  2. But is it accurate?

  3. X37-B does have cross-range capability, but not enough to evade people tracking it from the ground. http://www.heavens-above.com/ will show its location and orbit shortly after launch.

    After launch, go to http://www.heavens-above.com/ to see exactly when the X-37B will be overhead and visible.

    But those both contain a lot of corn, so we will have to plow up the weed fields and plant more corn... wait...

  6. Re: This is an actual story on What the Hell Is Happening To Cryptocurrency Valuations? (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I fail to see how cryptocurrency is immune to manipulation. From what I see the crazy swings in value indicate it is far far worse.

    But I have never accused preppers of being intelligent.

    Why are proponents of gold standard also proponents of Bitcoin? You can't get any more fiat than Bitcoin. Nothing at all backs it up, even less than government promise backing up real money.

  8. Re: Trump 2020 on Trump Nominates Lawyer To Lead FBI (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The way Democrats blamed Bernie supporters for Clinton's loss (the people squealing about "Bernie bros") made me wish I did not vote for Clinton.

  9. Re: how 25 versus 15 percent is six times more lik on Why Women Devs Are Hard To Recruit and Even Harder To Keep (windowsitpro.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    You may be on to something here. I was accused of being sexist (through a third party) by a former coworker because I "avoided" her.

    I avoid all my co-workers.

    Of course if I had heard this directly we could have resolved the misunderstanding. "There is no bigotry here, you are all equally worthless."

    Though perhaps I subconsciously did avoid the feminist one more to avoid that exact awkward conversation. Same reason I avoid my extremely left or right wing coworkers.

    Does it make you curious or bi-curious?

    The two genders are black men and Islam?

    Because hippies eat something, it is better for you?

  13. The NHL doesn't want you to watch it's games on The Cable TV Industry Is Getting Even Less Popular (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    If you are steaming there is no way to legally watch games. NHL Center Ice? Laughable. No local games and even then games are rarely covered.

    I think I've decided that if they don't want me to watch, I will oblige them.

    BUT HER EMAILS!!!

  15. Evil, I like it. Spam them out right before the election so people can't work out the scam until after it is too late.

  16. Makes it easy to decide who not to vote for. A few election cycles ago I got campaign letters from my state representative that legally had to disclose that my tax money went to producing them.

    Cool, made it easy not to vote for that asshole again. He did not get re-elected.

  17. Re: Office space on IBM is Telling Remote Workers To Get Back in the Office Or Leave (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that would make me insane. I need to have a "home base" at the office where my stuff can go, and can stay overnight so I don't have to pack up my office and leave at the end of the day.

    Must make getting fired easy, all the employee's shit is already packed up.

    I do have a friend that works as a consultant that works like this. That actually makes sense since he spends a lot of his time working at the client's office, so his company does not need seating for every single employee. Still, with the amount he does work int he flex space, I would find it annoying.

    Also, he did not say "if you can't come up with a better explanation, then mine is right" because, again, Clarke was not an idiot.

    Is there a big overlap between antivax and libertarians? Or, maybe, people that promote antivax, but themselves have all their shots.
