  1. Re:Some numbers from Geico on US Insurer Hikes Tesla Premiums Due To 'Higher-Than-Average' Claim Rates (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Even a new Audi S6 would run me a far more reasonable $130/mo.

    Holy fugg. I recently sold my old 1993 Saab 900, about $80/mo and bought a 1993 NA miata. $190/mo, and I've never been in a crash. My last speeding ticket was 10 years ago for going 5 over. What the hell man.

  2. Re:Need to ban gasoline powered cars on 'Instantly Rechargeable' Battery Could Change the Future of Electric Cars (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    You can pry my gay little miata out of my cold, dead fingers.

  3. Of course, it's what cars crave!

  4. Do you get your freemium software from Chinese websites? If you are a Slashdotter, then hopeful not, or your a sadomasochist/complete moron.

    But some of us get enjoyment out of breaking Windows as much as possible before a reformat or HDD change.

  5. Instead of changing my oil, I'll have to change my electrolyte.

  6. Re: I don't like this trend on 61 Mayors Commit To Adopt, Honor and Uphold Paris Climate Accord After US Pulls Out (curbed.com) · · Score: 1

    Pretty much how I'm looking at it. We're a teenager who is getting the credit card taken away due to blatant irresponsibility. It's good to see local government is doing something about it instead of relying on the feds as well.

  7. Re:Solar Probe Plus? Name Botch! on NASA To Make Announcement About First Mission To Touch Sun (nasa.gov) · · Score: 1

    Source? sounds neat

  8. Re:Kinda goes withhout saying, ... on US Senator Introduces the First Bill To Give Gig Workers Benefits (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    It's pretty sad when you're more worried about the party of the Senator

    Of course it was a Democrat. Which means the right wing nutjobs that now inhabit Slashdot will soon be along to mod me down.

    Too funny

  9. Re:The Mosque on Manchester Attack Could Lead To Internet Crackdown (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because it isn't the 60s anymore?
    b-b-but they did it too is a pretty piss poor argument. It's completely irrelevant at this point, it doesn't matter who is doing it, it needs to stop.

  10. Re:They learned it from the USA on Is Russia Conducting A Social Media War On America? (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Sad how this is rated.
    Score: -1, does not fit with my worldview

  11. Don't care, it was fun while it lasted. I'm perfectly happy with that being a very remote possibility.

  12. FUCK OFF WITH THIS "NETWORK ALL THE THINGS" BULLSHIT!

    Until then, I'll gladly stay with my 90s funcar. Basic, lightweight, fairly quick with megasquirt III. Sure, it can't wipe my ass for me, but that also means I don't have to worry about hackers screwing with my ass. And nobody wants ass hackers.

  13. Re:File that under... what? on Disney Chief Bob Iger Says Hackers Claim To Have Stolen Upcoming Movie (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Apparently the editors didn't know either. "from the _____"

    Pretty freakin' neato

  15. Electronic seatbelt tensioners? on Fiat Chrysler Recalls 1.3 Million Ram Pickups For Fatal Software Problem (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Why? Why is this a thing?

    I've never had any issues with the older, all mechanical style.

  16. Re:We need standardized/open source ECUs. on Fiat Chrysler Recalls 1.3 Million Ram Pickups For Fatal Software Problem (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    We're getting there. There are tons of option, such as Megasquirt, but most of them are not open source. I know there are also options for controlling more modern automatic transmissions as well.

    There are also modified versions of Megasquirt that retain OBDII functionality.

    rusEFI looks promising, which is open source.

    I'll be the first in line.

  20. just seems like on Pepe the Frog Is Dead (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Another attempt to get attention. One does not simply kill a meme.

  21. What is with the decontamination suits they're wearing? Why are they necessary?

  22. My father used to be my beard when I was a child

    Pics or it didn't happen.

    Neat beard has multiple meanings though.

    Money talks, and I'm pretty sure rocket scientists will go where it is cheaper and more welcoming, even if they disagree with some of the popular values of the locals.

  24. Re:Kinda disappointed on Google Releases DIY Open Source Raspberry Pi Voice Kit Hardware (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    One of them is an interface for project car that will tell bad jokes, tell me about obdII error codes, report blown fuse, complete with annoying personality.
    I might have been obsessed with mech warrior as a kid. I have most of the boards etched and sensors attached, Jasper is being a pain in my ass though.

  25. Re:Kinda disappointed on Google Releases DIY Open Source Raspberry Pi Voice Kit Hardware (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't help but agree. I will be very excited if support for on device only setup, I have a fuckton of plans I've been considering making with Jasper, but holding off in case something better came along.

    Only if an internet connection is optional though. That is a complete deal breaker for me.
