This has been the curse of my life. People assume that I'm an asshole because I'm simply right about most things. An I'm that way not because I have some genus level intelligence, I mean I am above average but I assume that all/. posters are above average. I'm usually right about things because I take the time to think things through and do the math and research.
I think I would be more of an asshole if I bitched when people corrected me when I'm wrong. I actually don't mind being corrected.
We have all had them. Mine went something like this. A little voice in my head chimed. It said something like this. "This bitch is bat shit crazy." What was yours like?
They said it was good porn, that "i have really good tastes." I would like to know what I was watching too. I let everyone on my contact list let me know when the black mail video shows up. So far it has been 2 weeks. Still waiting.
I've had newegg mess up a few of my orders. Every time they practically tripped all over themselves to make it right. I can complain about a few things from newegg, but my experience with their customer service isn't one of them.
You have to forgive Rick. I'm not sure he understands how the modern economy works. Even Farmer Brown down at my local farmers market takes plastic. Just slides it through his iphone and we are good. I think he can take samsung and apple pay too.
Now they are trying to be like Amazon and sell anything and every thing. Newegg used to be my 'go to' place for computer parts, but now I do more shopping around. I liked it better when newegg was computer part store. But the recommendation AI was a source of entertainment when they changed. "Hey we see you just bought 4, 3TB HD for a nas, wouldn't you like to buy this chain saw to go with it?"
Back on topic. This kind of explains the porn ransomware email I got a few weeks back. I changed my phone number to my new number on newegg and less than 24 hours later I got a scam email saying they had video's of me watching porn on my phone. And unless i coughed up a bucket of shekels they were going to sent it to everyone on my contact list. Newegg was the only place that had my email address and new phone number. The new phone number was listed in the email.
A city with out cars. Sounds like wonderful place to live. I lived outside SF, in Menlo Park, for a year. I didn't own a car during that time. Most things I needed was with in walking distance, and the things that where not where a train ride away. Something that we have tossed by the way side is that if cities are designed properly cars are not needed.
I read a long time about about a town that was banning cars and legalizing electric golf carts. In down town Memphis we have these electric scooters everywhere. Rent one and off you go. Park it anywhere. My daughter and I where driving in down town yesterday. We saw a guy rent one of these scooters. When we got where we where going, and parked, that same guy came riding through the intersection. My point is even though I had the faster transportation, the guy on the scooter got to the same spot at about the same time.
I can't remember when I bought my last EA game. I checked my inventory and none of games I bought from Steam are EA. Plenty of indy games out there. I paid 15 bucks for Giana Sisters, Twisted Dreams and played the hell out of it.
I find that the best cure for apple products is to expose them to apple products. Those drink the koolaid and embrace them body and soul where a lost cause anyway. But you find the few that long for the apple experience, and once they are exposed to it, reject it completely.
My daughter was such a soul. She wanted a iphone, got a iphone, a year later got a job and bought her a Samsung S4. Rejected the apple poison completely.
Spoken like someone that doesn't have kids. How many times I've heard that damn crab crone "kiss the girl.?" Thank god I drew the line at a teletubby disk collection.
I've never been a fan of how they toss around "national security" to justify everything. Not a fan of blanket laws that let them interpret a crime any way they want too.
Its quite the entertaining read. There is some comments in there that agree with the cost of clean up. From what I read these reactors are a bitch to clean up.
So they built over dozen of them and ran them for an average of 40 years each. An yes they did sell several of them. I'm sorry, just because you call something a disaster, doesn't make it one.
Anyway this new technology is not the same as the ones running in the UK.
The UK ones are gas cooled and ran for an average of about 40 years. So it seems other countries did and if you think a operating life an average of 40 years is a disaster then I see nothing more to talk to you about this issue. As you clearly have no clue what you are talking about.
An if you noticed I have not said one thing about thorium based reactors. All the reactors I have been discussing are uranium powered.
I've never understood why there is much of a debate at all on this subject. Global warning is ether real or it isn't. If its real then it is being driven by fossil fuels and that must be stopped. I've listened to idiots on both sides of the debate and it seems to me the answer is quiet clear.
Fossil fuels are a major source of pollution and a major health hazard. They destroy out infrastructure and natural environments, and this is proven. Their use must be stopped because of this alone.
Fossil fuels are a scarce resource that have a limit. Over time it will be harder to find new sources that can meet our ever increasing needs. This dictates that new sources of energy must be found.
Both of these reasons alone dictate that better and cleaner sources of energy must be found. The argument on global warming is just a distraction to me.
Our dependence on fossil fuels will end. This is a fact. We will ether poison ourselves by continuing to use them or we will run out. One way or another their use will end.
Of course I guess going extinct or falling back to the stone age is also an option.

I've had a personal epiphany

Well that might explain some things,
I can't remember when I bought my last EA game. I checked my inventory and none of games I bought from Steam are EA. Plenty of indy games out there. I paid 15 bucks for Giana Sisters, Twisted Dreams and played the hell out of it.
Not much of a plot.

Why include it when they can sell it to you for $125 bucks?
Yes. I found the post after you commented here. But I still don't know what GDPR means.
Spoken like someone that doesn't have kids. How many times I've heard that damn crab crone "kiss the girl.?" Thank god I drew the line at a teletubby disk collection.
Just like GDPR, you have to get with the program no matter where you actually are.
I assume that is the comment you are talking about. What is the issue with it? Pleading ignorance here.
I've never been a fan of how they toss around "national security" to justify everything. Not a fan of blanket laws that let them interpret a crime any way they want too.
Here you go.

Depends on how you define "meddling" and what he has as "proof."
So they built over dozen of them and ran them for an average of 40 years each. An yes they did sell several of them. I'm sorry, just because you call something a disaster, doesn't make it one.

Again, educate yourself please.
And you have proof of this? Please post links as I have never heard of this.

Nobody is talking about Trump. Just you. The discussion taking place as absolutely nothing to do with Trump or any of you TDS induced issues.
Oh we got one with mod points. Better read quickly, they don't like it when someone points out things they don't want to hear.
