  1. Re:System wide draining of all bank accounts on Ask Slashdot: What Could Go Wrong In Tech That Hasn't Already Gone Wrong? · · Score: 1

    You don't really think that you get your bank account protected up to $100K without the Feds getting a little something in return, do you?

  2. Being willfully ignorant about an event that was part of a national discussion for days, and then lying about it on message boards is not okay.

    The kids weren't racist, and they "Native person" attacked them (in the sense that he aggressively moved into their space . . . and getting in someone's face and beating a drum is agressive...as well as weird).

  3. Dude, who did Louis Farrakan endorse?

    There is more that one racist group in this country, you know.

    So, you bought the whore's book? And then actually read it?

    Men don't just want sex.

    Men want new sex. Unless there is a burgeoning market for sexbot trade-ins, men will still be looking to score.

    I've looked at the work most of the teachers do and concluded that there is a reason they are not paid more. They're idiots. Glorified nannies. They took some lame classes in college and got a degree in "Education", because they didn't have the skills to get a real degree. They either refuse or are unable to educate themselves on available technologies that will eliminate six of those twelve hours of work. They show a complete lack of imagination on how to improve their own lives. If your mother, sister and wife are all working 12 hour days, they deserve it.

    Without complaining? Dude, you're doing it wrong.

    On the other hand, we have seen increased "education" in America, and the result is Acasio-Cortez.

    Education requires intelligence.

  11. Well, I doubt Socrates spoke English, as that wasn't a language then, so I would agree that he never said, "I know nothing."

    And you would think that a major manufacturer in the US would know that and would not constrain their own business around the issue. I mean, YOU know it. And, now, *I* know it. You would think someone at Apple would have a clue and could schedule an air drop of a box of screws.

    BTW, I also witnessed, first hand, an assembly line shutdown for a day over an 8oz bottle of Loctite.
    They were also considered idiots.

    The smarter approach to the problem is to not create a trade war and throwing a shitfit.

    I bet you're all behind unions when they go on strike, aren't you? You know, that logic that says, "We're not making enough money, so we will quit working to make more money."

  14. Where did he blame trump?

    Go back. Read the first sentence.

    Get his cock out of your mouth. You trump supporters are worse than the trolls. Christ sakes.

    They're working on some medications for the that TDS. Just don't you worry. It'll be all right in time.

    You can put whatever face you want to on it. Label it whatever you want. In the end you get something with shades of two things:

    A) A government that oversees and protects a marketplace where informed participants make voluntary exchanges.

    B) A government that controls a marketplace and choose the participants and exhanges they make.

    No government/market has ever been completely A or B, and like riding a horse or wielding a sword, the secret is to hold on neither too tightly or too loosely.

    Stop all the alarmism. It doesn't matter anymore. Acosio-Cortez has already told us that the world is going to end in 12 years, so what's the point. Live it up people. Party like it's 2029.

    Not only can it not provide a citation, we've now learned that before Hillary used the Russian collusion script against Trump, it was used against McCain in the 2008 election. The retards didn't even bother to change the name of most of the players.

  19. You ask me if I went to the store last night. I say no.
    You ask my wife if I went to a store last night. She says yes.
    You charge me for lying.
    Turns out, I went to the gas station.
    A) Did I actually lie?
    B) Does it actually matter?

    Citation needed.

    NASA has a well earned reputation for low-balling costs to get a project approved and then having cost overruns. In fact, most government agencies have that reputation.

    We have a sitting Congressperson telling us that the world is going to end in 12 years due to global warming. How exactly do we tell news from satire these days?

  23. I've been of a mind that all the Congress critters should be forced to wear body cameras, just like police, and for the same reason.

    You can't in the US. You have no control of the airspace starting at 500ft above your land. That's above your land, not your house. I can come do aerobatics at 700ft above your house. (I won't. That'd be stupid. But, it would be legal.)

    Unlike most of the flying car abortions of logic I've seen, this looks like it has actual wings. Once it exceeds stall speed, you're house will be very safe.
