  1. Re:Streamers deal with this on The Dangers of Sharing Your Screen With Co-Workers (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I find it much simpler to have a double personality. If something happens, just blame the other guy.

    That's part of the "fuck them all" strategy.

  3. Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
    Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
    Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
    Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
    Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

  4. Someone should find the executives from these companies and punch them in the face.

    If you do that, there's going to be an extra 5000 dollars surcharge to your next phone bill.

    Nuke them from orbit.

    Or, in real life, don't have a phone number to begin with. They can't annoy you if they can't fucking call you. In short, fuck them all.
    All my contacts are on iPhone, so I do 100% of my communications via iMessage or Facetime audio.

  6. I'd need zero AA's to power my Tesla since I don't have one.

  7. iPhones? AA batteries? on Florida Utility To Close Two Natural Gas Plants, Build World's Largest Solar Battery System (electrek.co) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    For comparison, FPL notes the battery system is equivalent to 100 million iPhone batteries, or 300 million AA batteries.

    First of all, is it true there's only the equivalent of three AA batteries in an iPhone?

    Secondly, 100 million iPhone batteries or 300 million AA batteries may sound like a lot, but when divided by the power required by houses, it doesn't seem like much. Can someone convert that in a how-many-tesla-car-batteries-can-fit-in-a-stadium number?

  8. Re:Energy conservation off the table? on Florida Utility To Close Two Natural Gas Plants, Build World's Largest Solar Battery System (electrek.co) · · Score: 2

    Indeed. What's the point of adding all these new "green energy" systems everywhere if you're going to keep wasting most of it?

  9. It's not a problem, because The Sun Always Shines On TV.

  10. I understand that, but Facebook is probably the furthest thing from a static website.
    What would be their product to reach those people to push advertising on them, since it can't be Facebook?

    That would be the same joke, kind of.

  12. What's the end goal here? I could see this for something like a compressed version of Wikipedia and similar websites, but FaceBook?

    "Your message to your uncle was sent via RFC 1149. You can expect a reply no earlier than two weeks from now."

    Safety measures approved by the European Commission included intelligent speed assistance (ISA), advanced emergency braking and lane-keeping technology.

    I think I'll wait for the next models, I've heard they will have Personal Commuting Integration (PCI).

    Links to Google are not blocked by a E.U. law.

    Also, we're talking about every fucking website in E.U., not a single search engine based in the U.S.A.

    Well at least we'd have easier access to Doctor Who and... eh... that's about it.
    But then again I want to stay with the metric system, so you can forget that idea.

    The number of jobs for "badass Linux kernel hacker" is much lower than "app developer for iPhones, iPads and Macs".

    On the other hand, while iOS/macOS don't have the biggest marketshare, they do have the users with the most cash.
    So if you want to code for a living, you can't ignore those users.
