  1. IF it's useful, then leaving it sitting around in storage seems to be a big waste...

  2. Re:Still most downloaded app on Pokemon Go Daily Active Users, Downloads, Engagement Are Dropping (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Several million subscribers, at 13-16 bucks (depending on your subscription plan) /month...

    Do the math, it's still a license to print money....

  3. Re:The game needs more stuff to do on Pokemon Go Daily Active Users, Downloads, Engagement Are Dropping (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but you battle in the game, you even have to battle the wild pokemon to weaken them to catch them. Pokemon Go you just throw balls at them. And the one battle that is in the game is dull and has no strategy really beyond "Have the pokemon with the most CP!"

  4. >> There is no way that someone with little time can be competative except for bots.

    This, and the only real"battling" in the game is Gym Battles currently, and those are dull even if you do have a built-up team....

  5. My daughter ( 7 ) was nuts over it when it came out. But you walk around, try to catch Pokemon, not by battling them and weakening them first, but by just throwing a limited resource (Pokeballs) until you catch one. Then you run out of Pokeballs and there's not much to do unless you are already high level and have spent a lot of time and/or money building a team for gyms. That's the only kind of Pokemon Battle in the game currently, and it's kinda really dull, no real strategy to it at all.

    She has no interest in it anymore... I imagine among older Pokemon fans, they're also seeing the game is dull and lacks what made Pokemon interesting in the first place...

  6. And what can nuclear waste be used for and leave only 5% of itself behind?

    They'd find mostly "Fuck the US government, they're scumbags" on my FB page. Don't have (or want) a Twitter account...

  8. Wake the FUCK UP PEOPLE! on US Customs and Border Protection Wants To Know Who You Are On Twitter (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    Really? It's not even funny anymore, the fascists are winning, it's out of control....

    This initiative sounds like it was paid for by Twitter and Facebook to boost the creation of extra accounts that people can give the SS at the border while being themselves on another account...

  9. Need safe reliable rockets and just blast the waste into the sun rather than leaving it here on Earth to waste taxpayers money....

    Get rid of the taxi license system. All that is needed is a car, a valid drivers license, and car insurance. Nothing else is needed there. Everyone else is just crooked BS designed to protect existing businesses from new ones with new business models. No valid reason for any of it.

    You are confusing a service with a physical product. You must work for once of the mafIAAs... Nice try though....

    No, the Taxi driver is technically barred from working without that medallion even though he has a working car and a driver's license. It's a fake, greed-driven method of preventing competition.

    "Replace the electronics when it's actually dead or doesn't meet your needs, not just because it's not as shiny as it once was."

    While practical and intelligent, that is not the American Way (according to Madison Avenue and big corporations)! That's communism! Forget thinking and comparing and saving for the future and choosing wisely, just spend spend spend!!!!!!!!

  15. New math? on Apple, Samsung Capture All Of Industry's Smartphone Profits (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    If Apple accounts for 75%, and Samsung 30%, that equals 105%... does not compute

    But in some regions, they will not give out new taxi licenses at all.

    There shouldn't be "taxi licenses" anyway.

    So it's illegal for me to give me co-worker a ride to work without paying this onerous tax?

    So it's illegal to give a friend a ride somewhere without paying this onerous tax?

    So it's illegal to give wome you just met a ride without paying this onerous tax?

    No, enough. Amazing once people once did (Boston Teaparty anyone?) over onerous taxes, yet now they just accept them like little sheep.
