    nah, most feminists have children, 86% of women do. they're just not having more than 2, instead about 1.86 kids on average. That's not enough to keep a population growing.

    er no, that was over ten percent in total. that is not insignificant, either as percentage or whole

  4. No, you must have defective taste buds. What a disgusting thing to do to most foods.

  5. false, you know nothing about cooking nor how to make a quality sandwich with ground beef. Note it hasn't been done, though a burger flipping robot was made. I am not writing of burger flipping.

    I cook.

    It's not complex cooking at all. Quite frankly I'd like to see them make a robot that could cook steak, potatoes, side veggies meal....because I'm quite certain they couldn't. Even a quality hamburger would confound a robot.

    well some people used it for 10 years, I suppose a loyal following of dozens might be enough to make someone happy so I understand that part.

    rather than supernova of a main sequence star this is more like a brown dwarf, thought to fuse just a bit of deuterium and lithium if over 13 jupiter masses, and emit in the infrared. the only wonder is that they fuse at all. they just go dark when they die but don't change anything visible.

    the command to print on the Berkley Printing System, of course. What? the cops tried to give it another meaning decades later you say? How do they expect to talk to normal people if they do that?

    wrong. stop at the 11.4 million seeing that nonsense. most americans didn't see it, that's what that means. and "exposed"? please, I see ads and get spam all day and don't buy or contact nigerian princes.

    your "organic content" stats mean nothing, made up bullshit by people trying to get others worked up over *nothing*

    pretty hilarious, I looked for its distrowatch ranking. It fell off the end of the charts that go down below 5 hits per month, it has no ranking. because last release was last year, it's been dead and its corpse is now stinking up slashdot.

    seriously, who gives a shit about these minor niche crap distros that a ten year old could cut and paste together?

    imagine this: a plume of semen erupts from deep within your father, hundreds of millimeters high. Most of that never leaves the vicinity of the vagina, but a little of it manages to escape, and floats around the fallopian tubes for a while, eventually coming into the membrane influence of a newly released ovum. It makes its way through the ovum's contents, eventually finding its way into the nucleus, carrying the DNA of a 7 digit ID slashdotter.

    Nah, never could happen.

    No, small amount of people read that those posts, let alone were influenced by them. tempest in a teapot, made by the party that thought they had it in the bag when actually they're disconnected from almost half of U.S. society, instead focusing on their "bread and circuses" inner city base.

    the soviets took pictures from the surface and they radar mapped it from orbit. they could not "analyze" it in the sense martian probes do with scooping up surface samples, drilling, digging.
