I never dealt with comments in the general. However with how I was treated by HRC supporters, after the primary was over I wiped it all. Facebook 2016 wasn't anything like Facebook 2006 or the Facebook 2004 I joined. It had become the lowest common denominator and was more or less subscribing to "Forwards from ultra conservative Grandma" and then both sides yelling at each other talking past each other.
I honestly don't miss it. I don't miss reading the random ass comments or links from people I cursorily knew. I have the pull power of a grand child to get my mother and MIL onto another service.
The hardest part is unlearning the muscle memory I have from sitting down at a computer and opening Reddit, Slashdot and Facebook tabs.
The fascinating part is that we now know you don't actually have to be very bright to do brain surgery.
No, you have to be very intelligent. You spend a good chunk of your life learning about nothing but brain surgery.
The opportunity cost being that you don't have that time to spend on learning other things.
He might be a good brain surgeon, but I wouldn't let him fix my computer, tune my car, or hem my pants. And I sure as shit wouldn't let him "educate me" on what the pyramids of Egypt were built for.
Why would you? What ever made you think you could trust a doctor with a computer?
Slashdot Mirror
Yes. We called them trains.
untested
Where do the detractors continually get the idea that this is all 'untested'?
Your entire existence and life is built on previous generations making the exact same gamble. If you don't like it go live in a hut in the woods.
Unless you think that Steam boilers were the pinnacle of human safety systems.
I think people need to look through death statistics of steam engines and all 'early' tech back through the stone ages.
Apple too
It basically boils down to "Stop liking what I don't like. I don't like _______ therefore no one does and its going out of business!"
Do not confuse lazy with convenience.
"If you're too lazy to operate a hoe you shouldn't eat food"...
Google Home, Amazon Echo and the rest are pointless "solutions" desperately in search of a purpose.
We use our Echo all the time and it has plenty of purpose.
Then again I grew up being inspired by Star Trek not scared of it.
Have you met the Vice President.
That's a good thing.
- Podesta in constant danger of somebody proving what "pizza" he's talking about
It's entertaining watching the 13 year old 4Chan/The_Donald not understand why anyone would talk about Pizza that much.
It's fairly evident they've never worked in an office. I'd say a good 80% of my work related e-mails are "WTF are we going to eat lunch on Friday".

Turns out Nvidia takes those few extra dollars and spends money making drivers that work
Even on platforms that AMD won't touch like Solaris and FreeBSD. I just wish they'd port CUDA to FreeBSD.
Yeah, it's just all the rage to have Caesarians nowadays.
Uh, no.

The new rage is hot tubs.

During an April 2016 MSNBC appearance, Sen. Bernie Sanders stated it was incumbent upon Hillary Clinton to earn the votes of his supporters.
(She didn't)
You are correct. Some of us voted for Sanders in the Primary. We were told on facebook we weren't needed in November.
The DNC wanted their queen and they got it.
We need simple jobs for simple folk.
Trump is going to shutdown Caterpillar. Think of all the literal shovel ready jobs he can make if companies don't have to rely on mechanical tools.
But when it's white men that are the problem we're all good?
I demand people stop having different interests than me!

Given the Catholic Church and UK's little ring I'm going to hold off a bit on judgement.

Such a money pit that they released 2 more versions.
And Amazon Stock seems to be doing just fine (Echo released Nov 14)
It's not quite Majel Barrett but it's a half decent beta.
no one really uses one
That means you'd have to show data that shows how many have been purchased and the number actually in use. We'll be waiting.

Eh, pihole is faster.
What you consider the 'boonies' may not really be that far from what you consider 'not the boonies'.
It really wasn't that long ago that "slow" was considered 56k or below.
It really wasn't that long ago that "slow" was considered 4800 or below.
