  1. Re:good on Is Your Laptop Cooking Your Testicles? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't care because I've had a vasectomy. I know for a fact my sperm motility is 0 as I've had it tested. I can use a laptop, wear boxer briefs or bike shorts, and if it fries the tails of a couple of my swimmers no loss. They can't get past the Ti clips and the air gap. If they can, well then our next kid will be able to walk through the fuckin' walls.

    Mind you, my primary form of contraception is never having sex. My wife hates to try (her idea of foreplay is, "I think I'm drunk enough. Go.") and I had to give up after years of nothing but bad sex followed by 30 minutes of her crying afterwards. I'm no good for entertainment, no good for reproduction. What good am I?

    I don't want to post any more. I'm sad.

    I have a higher security clearance than the guards who are checking me out. Come on guys, [agency] was checking me out for [x] months. They talked to my neighbours and landlords and every employer I've had for the last [x] years. You're looking at my laundry.

    So what you're looking for is a financially conservative party that doesn't give a crap about what you do for entertainment, as long as those involved are consenting adults.

    Is that correct?

    From what I've seen, both parties in the US are fascist; neither lean to the left but are instead right-wing-leaning. They just have different things that they want to curtail.

    If you are a boy in high school, this is my gift to you, and the reason why you have been reading /.

    Dude, you have to join the choir. Trust me.

    Okay, you didn't stick to your piano lessons. How old are you?

    You can take up another instrument. Odds are you can still read music. You could try something smaller like flute, clarinet, tuba, trumpet, or bassoon. If your city is like mine, there's a community band that would take you in and possibly even give you lessons. After a couple of years it'll be like you've been playing for years. I'm not as good as I was but I am tolerable and I enjoy it -- and the company that band playing brings.

    My kids would rather play with tinkertoy / building blocks / board games / read than TV and Wii. They copy every move you make and act just like you. If you had kids they would want to look at seti nodes and... whatever else it is that you like.

    We managed to do it all that with the same teachers and books and paper that the grandparent was talking about though.

    That's precisely the problem. It's the same teachers and books from 30 years ago.

    THEY HAVE A TIME MACHINE.

    They could get jobs at Siemens in the past and "develop" just such a hearing aid. Then it's a simple matter of vetting the ads until they get one that's juuust right.

    My Walkman plays MP3s only. It's got a drag-and-drop interface and loads as a mass USB storage device. The sound quality is quite good.

    The only problem I have with it is that you can only create playlists using WMP11, which doesn't run under Wine.

    Wait, a lightbulb emits enough heat to bake on? You could package that and sell it to kids as a child's oven.
