  1. Re:Wait... Dollar Tree? on The Dollar Store Backlash Has Begun (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    Personally I try to use rechargable ones on principal

    What a capital fellow you are!

  2. Re: Dollar Tree near me has a snack aisle on The Dollar Store Backlash Has Begun (citylab.com) · · Score: 2

    Googling something only works if you have the slightest clue what you are looking for.

    That's only true if it's a common word, like machicolations or hermeneutics.

    Or if some imbecile chooses an existing word to name their pet new hipster programming language.

    25 billion dollars on a wall that isn't even going to work is a complete waste

    ... unless you're in the construction business, in which case it's an opportunity.

  4. Obligatory NGOML on 'Amazon Prime is Getting Worse' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Everything is getting worse. Take Shelbyville. Did I tell you about that time I went there...

    I prefer naked women, but whatever floats your boat.

  6. Who is it this time - lizardmen or the illuminati? on 'The Five-Paragraph Essay Must Die' (psmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Aspie kids are stubborn & have a fetish for efficiency. Telling them they HAVE to do something the "hard" (inefficient) way

    I'm not seeing where it says that.

    From the horse's mouth:

    What is the Common Core?
    State education chiefs and governors in 48 states came together to develop the Common Core, a set of clear college- and career-ready standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts/literacy and mathematics.

    What guidance do the Common Core State Standards provide to teachers?
    The Common Core State Standards are a clear set of shared goals and expectations for the knowledge and skills students need in English language arts and mathematics at each grade level so they can be prepared to succeed in college, career, and life. The standards establish what students need to learn, but they do not dictate how teachers should teach. Teachers will devise their own lesson plans and curriculum, and tailor their instruction to the individual needs of the students in their classrooms.

    I suppose they would say that though, wouldn't they?

  7. He's just a seat-warmer for the next actual POTUS.

    That's what I'm worried about. Imagine if the next Koch stooge is actually competent.

  8. Pointless on Why One Tiny Island is Still a Domain Name Giant (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    One to file away in case you're ever on Pointless and can't remember Vanuatu.

  9. Re:Completely dependent on a singl foreign power, on The GPS Wars Have Begun (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Since airfreight apparently costs the same as sending stuff by sea, perhaps you can explain why we bother having all those container ship thingies.

  10. Ballmer on 'The Five-Paragraph Essay Must Die' (psmag.com) · · Score: 1

    What must die is saying "X must die" where X is not, in actual fact, alive.

  11. Re:Something I've found interesting on 'The Five-Paragraph Essay Must Die' (psmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Common Core is a list of what children at particular ages should know. It says absolutely nothing about how they should be taught.

    Stop repeating what you heard on Fox News.

  12. Re:When did this become a thing? on 'The Five-Paragraph Essay Must Die' (psmag.com) · · Score: 1

    I suppose it's like if you're a mediocre musician you can stick to three chords and it'll sound OK, but a good one can slip the odd different one in and it'll sound more interesting.

  13. Re: 3 Main Bullets on 'The Five-Paragraph Essay Must Die' (psmag.com) · · Score: 1

    You could try numbering them, but they'll write the answer to 6 but label it as 8. Even if they only go up to 7.

  14. Re:Indeed on 'The Five-Paragraph Essay Must Die' (psmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Then there's "Turtle Neck" (should be one word, not capitalized) which he apparently put in. Who knows where?

    Oh, and I doubt he meant "Ligature", unless we're talking about surgery. GP is an illiterate fucktard who should keep well away from anything about writing.

  15. Re: Payment on The GPS Wars Have Begun (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    The UK didn't know what it voted for or what it wanted.

    It wanted Vera Lynn singing in a Spitfire piloted by John Mills while Bobby Charlton stands on a cliff sticking two fingers up.

    Let's face it, the biggest hole is the person who made it.

  17. Re: UK on The GPS Wars Have Begun (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    The USSR was indeed a free-trade area, at least according to the USSR.

    And the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere really did bring prosperity to all, according to the Japanese.

    Even if the bananas rule was suggested by British supermarkets, the EU was under no obligation to comply.

    That does NOT mean it's bad to buy bananas from India and coffee from Brazil.

    But what if the huns start with the U-Boats again?

    Fair point. It's much more likely to be other way round.

  22. Re:Quite the honor on The First Basic Income Experiment in Germany Will Start in 2019 (basicincome.org) · · Score: 1

    1) The B stands for Basic. You could work to get more, if you want. Somebody probably will.

    2) If that doesn't work, make it a condition of receiving it that you're eligible for some kind of draft, for those times when 1) doesn't work. Could also be used for seasonal things and emergencies.

    Send stupid astronauts. That would be sensible, because the two stupids cancel each other out. Or something like that.

    Also one of the major things that makes buses suck is all the stops.

    What do you suggest as an alternative? Make them open topped and have the passengers get on by some kind of trapeze?
