  1. And you sir, you dedicated what fraction of your wealth to green projects?

    Well, I bought lettuce and celery this morning to make a salad for dinner. Does that count?

    Absolutely! This is proof that everybody should have a gun so they can defend themselves!

    We need to ban cars and trucks instead, a lot more people die in car accidents.

  4. Clearly, the solution is to breed giant monster deers that can eat those hundreds of years old big gnarly oaks.

  5. Unless your "bomb" damages the seeds in the process.

  6. Oh crap on Museum of Failure Opens In Sweden (failuremag.com) · · Score: 2

    Museum of failure opens in Sweden.

    Ok, so... what if the museum itself is a failure? Will they try to put the museum into itself? Won't that cause a "divide by zero" or some shit and destroy the universe?

    Damn you, Sweden! You were supposed to be good guys!

    Hahahaha, that's funny considering Europe won't exist in 2027.

    Oh wait, I said too much.

    This time around you guys got lucky. The Xbox One X is manufactured in Australia and the price increase for the USA is because they need to add another GPU to put the image right side up.

    I'm pretty sure they're not talking about the "palm oil" that's left in your hands after a "workout session". Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

    If anything, this just shows how flexible their printers can be on a commercial scale.

    "It pulled from dozens of patterns and thousands of color combinations."

    So, human designer(s) made those dozens of patterns and a computer simply picked colours at random.

    I'm sorry but even the random dungeons of Diablo 1 (1996) are a more impressive feat than this marketing stunt.

    Or you could simply build a computer for yourself and install macOS on it anyway, because fuck Apple and their expensive, weak-ass hardware options.

    Mayor Adam West was not available for comment.

  20. Given that Netflix has an increasing number of shows of their own and that we have limited time to watch stuff? Not much will happen.

  21. I only use Netflix. If the network wants me to know they're responsible for the show for whatever pointless reason, they should put their logo in the intro and/or credits.

    What I'm supposed to do with this information, I have no idea.

    And before anyone asks, I don't know if it works with Mobile Safari, because iOS devices are NOT allowed on the internal network because they are a security risk.

    And I suppose Android devices are allowed because they're not a security risk? What imbecile made that decision?

  23. This started bugging me a few years ago so I've started counting them. I think the highest count I've seen so far was around 7 or 8 companies "intros" before the movie. And some of these intros are quite long so it took nearly three minutes of pointless watching before I could get to the actual movie.

    Since they're designing their own motherboards I really don't see any problem with this idea. If you're thinking about ports vs internal connections, that's a small "price to pay" compared to designing three different motherboards and letting sales drop because you're not updating the product lines.
