  1. /|\ DeVry J.D. on Indiana Considers Prohibiting Cities From Banning Airbnb (usnews.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    It means you have a perpetual lean on your property

    That's what you get if you employ Italian builders.

  2. Was going to suggest Urdu, but it's already there at number 49.

    I have a dead-tree version of it. Care to point out which bits are wrong, apart from the bit where it omits to tell you to grow a ridiculous beard and ride a fixie?

    Back when Usenet was popular it was also moderated.

    Some groups were, some groups weren't. Don't believe everything your grandpa says, kid.

  5. Re:Why don't they.... on Your Hotel Room Photos Could Help Catch Sex Traffickers (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    If you were told to take a picture of every room in a hotel would you do that? I wouldn't, that's way too much effort. I'd take loads of pictures of one room, stepping to the left or right a bit, tilting the camera and so on so they look a little bit different. I might even take only half the number and monkey up the rest with Gimp or Scrotoplop.

    OK, so the hotel has a shade side and a sun side, and the rooms come in handed pairs. That's four rooms I'm going in, no more.

    If I woke up tomorrow and owned the means of production, I wouldn't need an income because I wouldn't need to buy anything. I'd just make/pick/harvest it.

    So fucking what? I know people who are native German speakers who don't when they write English the verb at the end of the sentence put. I know people who are native French speakers who when they write English don't put the adjective after the noun and refer to inanimate objects as she or he.

    If you're writing English write it like English. If you're wring some untermensch babble, write it as untermensch babble.

    That's why I save time by searching in reverse order.

    The Guardian is full of commies who all want everyone to live in teepees and ride bikes everywhere.

    Except themselves, of course. Because little Sophie-Malala might have asthma.

  11. Re:I see what's coming. on Court Fines Canadian $26,500 For 'Unconscionably Stupid' Balloon-Chair Flight (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    If you let them get away with that the next thing will be socialized medicine with death panels and mandatory gay marriage. And if you let them get away with that you won't be allowed to take nail clippers on a plane.

    Revolt now, before it's too late!

  12. So, even if all the water heaters on the market had IoT features, it's trivial to keep them offline and harmless.

    I wouldn't touch any IoT thing that could get hot or explode with a borrowed bargepole, but my understanding is that a lot of them can only be operated via the manufacturers' sites.

    Great excuse. I tried something similar that time I wrote a poem in a physics exam because I'd had EngLit the day before.

    They told me to fuck off, and I'm passing it on.

    Zager & Evans are as likely to be right as him.

  17. These numbers are crazy. They're probably counting sales and not use.

    Do you have anything to base that wild assumption on, apart from the phrase "Best-Selling" in the headline?

  18. Re: About time! on US Lawmakers Propose Minimum Seat Sizes For Airlines (consumerist.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Starting a statement/question with 'so' is a tell for cognitive dissonance.

    That's rubbish and you know it. So why did you post it?

    Until some genius spots that burner phones are used by drug dealers & other criminals, and therefore comes to the conclusion that anyone using a burner phone is a criminal and should be shot on sight. Gotta keep America safe, folks.

    Those are volunteers stupid enough to enlist, not wealthy and important sons of the elite, who can arrange for deployment stateside.

    No doubt roman_mir will claim that's just the free market at work.

    Science was invented by Ben Franklin in 1776 when he couldn't find his keys in a thunderstorm.

    That's over 200 years ago.

    If they don't know everything (or at least everything worth knowing) by now it's time to give up.
