    And what happens when that glass surface gets worn by constant friction with grit and dirt? I'll tell you what happens; it will get more opaque and smoother at the same time, both reducing output from the solar panels and significantly reducing friction.

    IT. DOESN'T. WORK.

    Stop using an OS that hasn't received any security updates for over 2 years, you idiot.

    That's odd, because I've used all three versions of the Chromecast dongles (v1, v2 and audio), and they all pop up in my browser and the Chromecast app within a couple of seconds of fully booting up. If you're turning yours on and off regularly, you do realize that it needs a bit of time to boot up, right?

    That's odd, because I cast from my wired PC to my wireless Chromecast all the time. They just need to be on the same network.

    And the money goes straight to the artists, minus a straight percentage cut for Bandcamp. Very transparent, no odd rip-off clauses and greedy record companies involved.

    No it isn't, it's an app company, providing an app for mobile phones that ostensibly facilitates ridesharing, but in fact lets people contact independent contractor cab drivers.

    All of which violates just about every rule and law regarding cab driving out there.

    Technically, the Porthos didn't have that high of a TDW originally, it only got that after it was rebuilt and lengthened, and relaunced as the Seawise Giant, after the Greek owners refused delivery. And I still can't believe a gigantic beast like that was single-hulled.

    Yeah, I also live in Europe, and I'm not seeing anywhere that's being overrun.

    In fact, the only real danger we're facing is the rapid rise of new nationalistic extreme right-wing political parties, due to the general escalation of hatred and mistrust in western society, caused by the FYGM policies enacted by our shitheel politicians.

  16. Re:Not worried, frankly. on WHO: Drinking Extremely Hot Coffee, Tea 'Probably' Causes Cancer (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you want to live a life of fun, good food, fun entertainment and hot beverages, then die at 70, or do you want to live a life of measuring everything daily in a state of panic that you might get cancer and then die at 74 - that is, if you don't accidentally walk in front of a bus when you're 40?

    If the last 20 of those 70 years are going to be plagued by vascular and respiratory diseases, and every other kind of malady caused by heavy drinking, unhealthy food smoking and lack of exercise, then those years are useless and painful.

    I'd much rather take just a bit more care, get some exercise and have some actual quality of life, even in old age.

  17. Sure, that is definitely a possibility. I don't see it happening anytime soon, though, as it's one of the hyped features of the contactless cards.

  18. Yes, because you don't have to input the PIN for small amounts, at least around here the limit is ~$30 (200 DKK) before you have to type the pin. So it's still quicker, plus the contacts don't wear out.

    Socialist policies work well in Europe and Australia, and it's absolutely compatible with human nature such as compassion and empathy. The only thing it's incompatible with is toxic winner-takes-all fuck-you-got-mine style USian egocentrism. Learn to look outside your own borders, USA is not the world.

    And the believers continue to wrack their minds, completely unable to comprehend how a person can exist with a complete lack of belief in deities.

    So then atheism is the belief there is no deities? And that belief defines the atheist's religion. I have not seen proof of the absence of deities, or do you have some?

    No, it is the absence of belief in deities, not the belief that there are no deities.

    The difference is subtle, but crucial.

    An agnostic atheist is someone that doesn't believe in God, but can't be sure that one doesn't exist.

    It is possible to be an agnostic atheist (I cannot prove that no gods exists, but since there is no evidence I find it silly to believe so)

    I find that this adequately sums up my views, thank you.

    Try reading up on marxism, socialism and communism, instead of the twisted dictatorship that have so far proclaimed themselves to be "communist" states.

    First off, a realized communist society has no state, because it has "withered away". Secondly, the whole point of socialism and communism is to put the power into the hands of the people, not concentrated in the hands of corrupt politicians. If someone claims to be a socialist or communist, but wants to take power away from the people, they're dictators and tyrants, not socialists or communists.
