  1. I still read the WP, but I can at least differentiate when agenda's are being pushed..

    Come back when you can tell a plural from a possessive.

    Tell me, when your toast lands butter side down, do you curse the blasted millennials?

    If it's artisan toast, then yes.

    As far as I know, the goal of Elon Musk was to push other manufacturers into making electric cars.

    They'll get right to it - after they work out seatbelts or harnesses.

    Sounds fishy to me. A business expense is a business expense, it isn't intended to subsidise your hobby. You might get away with claiming your golf clubs - if your main business is teaching golf.

    These people were the same ones flipping houses in 2007 because of the great income potential. And now we taxpayers have spent 10 years funding saving their stupid asses.

    Are you sure about that? Can you point to all these people who got their negative equity cancelled?

  9. And the non wealthy that got in the game early.

    Who are - at this point in time and on paper at least - wealthy.

  10. I lived below my means and put the extra money against the principle. It's the living below your means that most people have trouble with.

    That's because they're unprincipaled.

    Asians are the elephant in the room

    Possibly. You can recognise them by their smaller ears.

    Before you can claim it as merely a "then-common" belief that women might leave as soon as they were married, you FIRST need to prove it wrong.

    But even if they really did leave as soon as they were married it was only because men (and white men at that!) expected them to!

    It'd be able to train itself. Or is all this AI stuff largely hype? I'd be shocked, shocked if that was the case!

  15. No one pays me to post my opinions on Net Neutrality.

    Why are the top executives making so much more than the delivery drivers?

    Tricky one, that.

    I'm in two minds here. It's either because the top executives are anointed by God and paying them less (or others more) would be communism, or it's because they make the decisions on pay.

    I see that Amazon requires it's drivers to be 21 or older. What was that about being for teens to make extra money again?

    Can somebody confirm or deny: Intel's built in spy/nanny system - all that keeps the free world safe from terrusts and peejafiddlers and cormanausts - is cribbed from a classroom exercise that became a joke that got out of hand before they could stop it.

  23. Delivering parsel's was never meant to pay a living wage it's something women & teenagers' do for a bit of side money.

    Netflix is only paying whoever is directly providing them service, and it certainly isn't the small regional ISPs who have to deal with the bandwidth demands.

    No shit, Sherlock - the ISP's subscribers are paying for it.

    That's true whether that bandwidth is coming from Netflix, Youtube or pornmidgets.xxx, which is exactly what NN says - a gigabyte is a gigabyte, period.
