  1. She isn't intelligent enough to be a representative, but that didn't stop morons from voting for her. Have you ever listened to her trying to answer even simple questions?!? She's going to give Maxine Waters a run for her money for being the dumbest person in the House of Representatives.

    If this is the best we can do for representation, this country is royally fucked.

  2. They were very quiet during those several years after Katrina without a major hurricane hitting the US. I still haven't heard how they explained that away.

  3. Re:It's not the price it's the content. on Netflix Says It Will Test Lower-Price Subscription Plans (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    He wasn't comparing Netflix's content to CNN and MSNBC's content. He was comparing their "politically motivated content" to the news station's content. And he's right.

    I have a feeling that millions will feel the same way. I'm certainly not paying to watch propaganda from Netflix.

    Indeed. You'd think the American left would have much more in common with the former Communists in Russia than anybody on the right.

    The Democrats didn't really need any Russian help this time. They're quite capable of stealing elections all by themselves, as we are witnessing right now in Florida. Oh, look we just "found" some more ballots in the supply closet! And here are some more in the trunk of this car!

    I don't even trust slashdot!

  6. I'd be happy if the mail carrier would just close the fucking mailbox when it's raining. She somehow manages to close it when it's not raining, so I presume she just does it for spite.

    Nothing like soaking wet mail stuffed in a box when you've been out of town for a week. I have complained, but that seems to make it worse. They all look out for each other.

    I just did and it shows several links to Vine's successor, all within the first dozen hits.

  8. You, and George Conway, need to read the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998. He's acting like an unhinged, hateful fool. What's your excuse?

    He's an ass, not a dork.

  10. I use cream and sugar in bad coffee to cover up the taste, but I do enjoy a bit of cream and sugar in good coffee from time to time. They make it a totally different drink.

    Good coffee which is fresh roasted, properly ground, and brewed right is naturally somewhat sweet. You can taste more complex flavors in coffee than you can in wine. No, I'm not a coffee snob. I roast my own coffee at home and I know the difference between good coffee and Charbucks coffee.

    None I've ever seen is actually "black". I don't know why people have always called it that. The beans may be black if you go to a very dark roast, but the brewed coffee won't be black. If you think it's black, pour a few drops on a white plate and see for yourself what color your coffee is.

  11. Re:Not a problem on Are Touchscreens Robbing a Generation of Surgeons of Their Dexterity? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There's more to being a good surgeon than stitching and sewing. There's a lot of cutting things, and knowing what to cut and how to cut them.

  12. So, Apple employees can find their way around the neighborhood. Whoopee! If you want to impress me, get the other 97% if the country mapped accurately.

    More detail? As someone who uses maps every day at work, I can tell you that more detail doesn't make a map more usable. Give me accuracy for the things that are displayed and I'll be happy. I was looking at Google maps last night and it showed a Post Office a full half mile from its actual location. Good thing I wasn't headed there in a self-driving car, right?

    If I want to see the grass in medians, I'll look at a satellite or aerial view. We use digital maps at work that have an aerial photo layer where we can zoom in to see the cars (make, model and color) in driveways. It lets us know that we're at the right house. No, we're not a SWAT team, just utility workers. :)

  13. The only kind of acceptable lies are "white lies", lies told to keep from hurting somebody's feelings. All other lies are bad and eventually come back to bite you in the ass.

    But you're free to discuss it with yourself all you want.

  14. Where you're all going wrong is that there are very, very, very few people born that way. From the news and articles published in the last few years, you'd think that as much as 20% of the population has some kind of sexual physical abnormality. Try way less than 1%.

    Nature makes mistakes, but far fewer than you'd think.

  15. That wasn't Ivan. That was Alex Jones!

  16. Apples and oranges on Alaska's Universal Basic Income Doesn't Increase Unemployment (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Alaska has the resources for the payouts to citizens, and the amount is far, far less than what others have been advocating for. It's not a universal basic income by any stretch of the imagination.
    In short, the article is bullshit.

  17. "This was a NIMY issue, they were not against progress itself, but did not want it done on a site that would take something away from them. They see it as their sacred site"

    If it were a site sacred to Christians or Jews, you'd be all in favor of trashing it. Don't deny it. We've seen it happen before.

  18. At least he was doing something, which is more than you can say for most Federal workers.

    Compare Obama's 2005 Senate speech on immigration and any of Trump's speeches on immigration. They agree 100%, but since 2005 one of them has changed his position. If Obama gave the same speech today, you'd all call him the same names that you call Trump, right?

    You know the old saying, "a fool and his money are soon parted"? It's still true.
