  1. Re:It's all in a slogan on Hillary Clinton Rips 'Bankrupt' DNC Data Operation (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    He didn't say your reps are outliers, but rather you are, by believing your reps are incompetent. Most Americans don't believe that about their own reps (or that's the claim, and I've heard the same thing).

  2. That could be, interesting thought. Scariness isn't that important to me so I will have to check out a few of them and see.

  3. What I find puzzling is when looking for a good horror movie (because there are so many bad ones) I see a lot of movies with critic ratings in the 90s and audience scores in the 40s or 30s. That isn't the genre I would expect that in. Maybe I need to watch one of them and see what I think.

  4. The idea that film critics only like artsy or foreign films is outdated if it ever had any validity at all. For example, here's Siskel & Ebert's very favorable review of Terminator 2: https://youtu.be/-Gy1rEs-r3g?t...

    They're tiny, what makes you think they can store a lot of energy?

  6. Whether your claim is correct or not, bacteria aren't animals.

    Not to nit pick, but at $3 a gallon, if you get 20 mpg the theater would have to be over 16 miles away for gas to cost $5. If I lived that far from the closest theater I don't think the cost of popcorn is what would keep me away.

    OK, that aligns with my BS detector going off on AC's claim that '100% of "Muslim" terrorists are Wahabbi'. Usually when someone claims 100% of anything it's BS.

    Now we will wait to see if some idiot comes in with a statement of 100% of something that's accurate to "disprove" my generic hand waving.

    Isn't Iran considered a state sponsor of terrorism? They're not sponsoring Sunnis are they?

  10. That text was entered on the article today and has already been reverted.

  11. You're frequently moving one ton loads of wood in a city? If so, you are tiny, tiny edge case.

  12. Re:This isn't "surrendering control" on Pepe the Frog Is Dead (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Perhaps he meant cultural control, not legal control. After all copyright rarely interferes with things spreading organically regardless of the copyright holder's wishes.

    No way organizing others' content on their sites exposes them to liability.

    Actually that's part of the protections of the CDA. Providers can moderate content without losing the safe harbor. That's in there to avoid the perverse disincentive you describe.

  15. Even if there's an emulsifier used, you can't homogenize the cream, add it back to the milk, and get homogenized milk. There has to be a process when the cream and the milk are together, even if it is just mixing in the presence of an emulsifier, and not forcing through a screen. Where did you find the info on the process in your locale? (Also your claim was "all milk is skim", apparently based on your local practices, so it's a bit rich to then complain that things are different where you live)

  16. Well of course you were disgusted, you were drinking the disgusting varieties of milk! If you had stuck to 1 or 2 percent, you would have been fine. ;-)

  17. We got milk delivered from a local dairy for a while in the early 2000s but it was too expensive.

  18. Besides water, skim milk contains protein and sugar.

  19. Neither pasteurization nor homogenization is a chemical process. And it makes no sense to claim the cream is homogenized and then added back to the milk, which indicates you have no idea what homogenization is.

    There is no theoretical reason that wouldn't be possible. Alice wants a baby but doesn't want to deal with a husband, or even finding some smelly guy to have sex with. She signs up with a website and enters her sperm donor criteria, or maybe picks from a list. Bob has also signed up. He has sex with his sexbot, which chills the sperm and delivers it to the bank.

    Now there are two scenarios. In one, Alice wants to carry the baby. The simplest thing to do is have her sexbot go to the sperm bank and pick up some sperm, and have sex with her. Repeat until pregnant.

    In scenario two, an egg is harvested from Alice, fertilized, and implanted in an artificial womb. After several months of regular payments to the baby factory Alice goes in and picks up her newborn, or maybe it is delivered by autonomous delivery vehicle.

    Only the artificial womb part of this is even far fetched. The rest of it could be done with minor advances, or with a little modification even with today's technology. If the man is the one who wants the baby, that will require the artificial womb of course, and probably some kind of payment for the egg, or why would a woman be willing to go through the egg donation process? But I would think the demand would be mostly from women.

  23. Blaming your actions and choices n prior choices made by someone else is just plain immature and reeks of the "Well *he* started it..." line that virtually every parent has heard from their kids...

  25. There isn't probably enough land to build that many suburban houses

    Had to do some math, and there is currently almost 750,000 square feet of land per person. Of course of lot of that is not in places where people want to live.
