  1. Animals read clocks? on Daylight Saving Time Isn't Worth It, European Parliament Members Say (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I'm curious as to how daylight savings time is disadvantageous to animals.

  2. Abstention is 100% effective.

    You can put your phone in flight mode, and then turn your bluetooth on without leaving flight mode.

  4. Re:Not Deadpool on Resident Evil Getting Rebooted Into a Six-Film Franchise (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Both characters' real name was Wade Wilson and both were played by Ryan Reynolds. How can they not be the same character?

  5. Re:Ah yes, the good old standby... on Resident Evil Getting Rebooted Into a Six-Film Franchise (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you realise that the Deadpool film was a reboot of the Deadpool in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine film?

    Nothing good comes out of fornication.

    Or just buy the two types of adapters, SD to USB-A and SD to USB-C. They're not very expensive.

  8. Re:Rotting Meat on Dental Floss May Have No Medical Benefits, Says AP Report (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder what kind of weird teeth you yanks have that you can't get rid of meat between your teeth without having to floss.

  9. Do you have any proof of that? I managed to obtain a copy of the Turkish Constitution as it was in 2002 and still did not find any reference to that supposed role of the military. Maybe I missed it so could you kindly point out in which article is such a role spelled out?
    What i did find interesting is that as of 2002, the Turkish Constitution used the term "laic" and "laicsm" instead of "secular" and "secularism". Apparently it was during Erdogan's tenure that the constitution was amended to change the term used from "laic" to "secular".

  10. [...] it's been reported that the Turkish constitution puts military in charge of being the last-ditch effort of dissolving and reforming the government [...]

    Seriously, why are basing your conclusion on what's "been reported"? The Constitution of Turkey is easily available via a Google search away. Just read it for yourself. If you did, you would see that the Turkey constitution states no such thing.

    Jesus was never in a position of political authority, so Jesus's actions cannot be used as an example of how political authorities should act.

  12. Thank you for the compliment.

  13. There's nothing negative about being anti-gay.

  14. I actually initially read it as "sweaty rant", and imagined Linus furiously typing the rant, with sweat dripping onto his keyboard. Probably because "sweary" is not a real word, and my mind sort of auto-corrected it to the closet match.

  15. Re:Omar Saddiqui Mateen? on World Reacts To The Worst Mass Shooting In U.S. History (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    If you hunt for food, then it's okay, but if you like killing animals for sport, then I agree with your family.

    There is an opposite race?

    Strictly within the context of the conversation, only two were mentioned, so yes.

    Err, no. I see people talking about black skin and light skin in the conversation. That's skin colour, not race. You do know that there's more than one race with black skin, don't you? Just like there's more than one race with light skin.

  17. Re:SJW much? on Employers Struggle To Find Workers Who Can Pass A Drug Test · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is there a shortage of female programmers? Shortage implies that we need more. Why do we need more female programmers? Can female programmers do something that male programmers cannot? I don't think so. So, what, exactly, is the problem here?

  18. Re:Invincible Tesla on Tesla's Inherent Safety Saves Five Joyriding Teenagers In Germany (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I believe you intended to write "brake" instead of "break". That would have made more sense.

  19. It is clear from the article that the rapist was a transvestite, i.e. a man dressed as a woman, not a transgender. Why don't you just admit that you were wrong and move on?

  20. So you're saying that a zombie apocalypse is highly unlikely, but plausible? So it has not happened yet. But, I've shown that a man raping a woman who dressed as woman HAS happened. So you were wrong to say that a zombie apocalypse is more likely than that rape scenario.

  21. http://www.manchestereveningne...

    Now I'm waiting for you to provide a link to that zombie apocalypse.

  22. there has literally never, ever been a single case of a man raping a woman who dressed as woman

    I admit that I can't cite a real life case, but I distinctly remember a Criminal Minds episode where this does happen. Sure, it's fiction, but I suppose if someone can think of a plausible scenario where this sort of thing can happen, is it such a big leap to think that it can happen in real life?
