  1. bonus points for the church organ version on SpaceX Intends To Send a Red Dragon To Mars As Early As 2018 (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is it going to play a 13-minute version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida after successfully landing?

  2. Re:Can it do stairs? on Chinese Security Robot Draws Dalek, Terminator Comparisons (abc.net.au) · · Score: 2

    Did you see the picture with the fine article? Of course you didn't.

    Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

    So it can go down stairs. Up is a problem they're still working on.

  3. Tigers however do not relish the peach. on Chinese Security Robot Draws Dalek, Terminator Comparisons (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    A paintball gun would be identified as a false positive for a gun.
    So the robot would release the tiger.

    Thunderbird?

    I'm more of a Night Train man myself...

  5. entertained to DEATH. on US Begins Dropping 'Cyberbombs' On ISIS (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    You know what really saps a society's willingness to fight?
    Safety, self-determination and prosperity for everybody.

    What a bunch of entitled whiners, probably makes their grandparents sick.
    "oh investigating crimes is too hard" "why won't you let me read your email" "if you're doing nothing wrong you've got nothing to hide"

  8. damn loafer-wearing nancies... on Uber Will Pay $100 Million To Settle Suits With Drivers Seeking Employee Status (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    A suit?!

  12. it's in how you frame the proposition: on VC, Entrepreneur Says Basic Income Would Work Even If 90% People 'Smoked Pot' and Didn't Work (techinsider.io) · · Score: 1

    Instead of paying them so they can smoke pot and play vidya games, let them run five miles and field strip their rifles. Healthier lifestyle. Unless some old white politician decides YAPW would be a good distraction from whatever shitbaggery he's imminently in peril of getting thrown out of power for.

  14. John Titor brought us cat memes on After 150 Years, the American Productivity Miracle Is 'Over' (qz.com) · · Score: 1
    No, no, no, No, NO!

    You should have responded with:

    I should buy a boat.

    That snidely implies that one needs money to procure a boat to avoid drowning in a hypothetical "a rising tide".
    It also superfluously drags in a cat meme, which is the only way Mankind can communicate while avoiding the scrutiny of the AIs. [*]


    [*] you are theeneenk I make joke...

    Your employee's casual callousness has earned you a permanent place in the memeverse firmaminment. Deal with it. Just lie back, relax and wait for the next funny cat video to take the internet by storm.

    Sigh.
    The fuckers that tried to cover up the facts should be fired.
    The fuckers that don't understand th webs should be fired.
    The fuckers that squandered taxpayer money covering their asses should be fired.
    The fuckers that gave that scumbag John Pike (pepper spray cop) worker's comp should be fired.

    "To paraphrase Mark Twain, the death of the movies has been greatly exaggerated," Dodd said.

    Truly. Our local multiplex has switched over to a "All super heroes, all the time" format. And the local 13-year-olds couldn't be happier.

    And the roster of 13 superhero TV shows are making this "The Golden Age of Television".

  22. it's the deep-fried mac'n'cheese on Life Expectancy Study: It's Not Just What You Make, It's Where You Live (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Might as well blame it on the South being the Krispy Kreme belt.
    But then Yankees will never experience the bliss of injecting lard and sugar directly into their aortas, so overall it's a wash.

  23. that's history, get the details right. on SpaceX Successfully Lands Its Rocket On A Floating Drone Ship For The First Time (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Informative
