  1. Why would I want to edit a table in Excel when I have 3D modeling programs?

    My retirement isn't dependent on YouTube. Or are you talking about creimer?

  3. Re:Not surprised on YouTube Will Disable Comments on Nearly All Videos With Kids (variety.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or go one step further by removing ads from all videos featuring children. That would remove the incentives for adults to exploit children for financial gain on YouTube.

  5. That's interesting... on Gab Wants To Add a Comments Section To Everything On the Internet (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    YouTube wants to turn off the comment sections on children videos because they attract child predators. All those displaced child predators can now go to Gab to comment on those videos. Unless, of course, Gab's TOS doesn't allow child predators to do that.

  16. Re:Should be easy enough... on Trump Directs Pentagon To Create Space Force Legislation for Congress (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Marines, also known as naval infantry, are typically an infantry force that specializes in the support of naval and army operations at sea and on land and air, as well as the execution of their own operations. In many countries, the marines are an integral part of that state's navy. In others, it is a separate organization altogether, such as in the United States, where the Marine Corps falls under the US Department of the Navy, yet it operates independently (and similarly the UK's Royal Marines come under Her Majesty's Naval Service). Marines can also fall under a country's army like the Troupes de marine (French Marines) and Givati Brigade (Israeli Marines).

    You do understand the the Air Force has a large group of people who launch and use spy satellites, right?

    You mean the same Air Force that has a broom closet with a Stargate Command sign at NORAD to keep the tourists happy?

    This isn't some futuristic Space Marines thing

    I expect the Navy to be resonponsible for Space Marines and navel warships in space.

    But the idea that the wall is "miles" inside the US border is not true though.

    You need to have space between the wall and the border for all the mines that will be relocated from the Korean DMZ after Donald Trump gets Nobel peace prize for unifying the Korean Peninsula.

  21. Re:Hmm, how odd! on YouTube Struggles To Fight Mobs Weaponizing Their 'Dislike' Button (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    YouTube has a problem with the dislike button because their Rewind 2018 video got branded as the most disliked video ever on the platform. Creators don't care because the algorithm treats likes and dislikes as positive engagement that don't count against them or the video.

    I used to buy $0.99 plastic watches from the drug store as a kid. Too many times I would smash the watch against something and the liquid would dribble out of the cracked LCD. When I worked in construction for a few years, cement dust jammed the buttons. That wasn't a problem until the next daylight savings time change.

    That wasn't a comic. It was an editorial cartoon. An editorial cartoon that speaks truth to power is likely to get the editorial cartoonist and everyone in the newsroom killed.

  25. Re:Setting Fires on Is California's PG&E The First Climate Change Bankruptcy? (marketscreener.com) · · Score: 2

    When PG&E got a rate hike to upgrade their natural gas pipe lines, the board pocketed the rate hike for shareholders. No one knew that happened until after the San Bruno pipeline blew up a neighborhood and PG&E asked for another rate hike to pay for upgrading natural gas pipe lines. Putting the shareholder first and burning down the state is why PG&E is unpopular. Has nothing to do with climate change.
