  1. Re:Supervise Your Children on Wikipedia Blocks 'Disruptive' Edits From US Congress · · Score: 1

    Name names, cowards!

    It's N'Aktuilxy Ktra'kht.

    Oh wait, you meant the name of the staffer.

  2. Re:Double standards on Rand Paul and Silicon Valley's Shifting Political Climate · · Score: 1

    Here's something that will deflate your entire argument: most conservatives don't claim to be open and inclusive - you set up that straw man and knocked the hell out of it.

    Rand Paul, the conservative subject of this article is a man made from people parts.

    Rand Paul: GOP must be more diverse, inclusive
    'We have to show concern for those who aren't doing very well'

  3. Curious silence on White House Punts On Petition To Allow Tesla Direct Sales · · Score: 1

    Where are all the Conservatives cheering on the Administration for respecting States Rights?

  4. Re:One non-disturbing theory on Ninety-Nine Percent of the Ocean's Plastic Is Missing · · Score: 1

    Yeah.. Think about what plastics are made from. We wouldn't want oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, or (god forbid) CARBON getting into our food chain. I mean, that's the stuff life is made of. Wait, what are we talking about?

    Yeah, nothing unsafe has ever been made from those elements. Hint: You only need two from your list to make cyanide.

  5. Kill Beta! on A New Use For Drones: Traffic Scouting · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Wow, did they actually disable the firehose because of the Beta protest? I can't seem to get to it.

    Boycott on next week!

  7. Re:The Last One (Today)? on Why Robot Trucks Could Be Headed To Afghanistan (And Everywhere Else) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I get ya. Mostly trying to get word of the boycott out. Tomorrow is Friday and I don't visit over the weekend generally. Boycott starts Monday.

    You'll probably see more from me tomorrow. Then I'll be off for a week. Then we'll see what happens.

    1: You are replying to a guy named Adolf. 2: If you can't afford to take a week off work you probably also can't afford to relocate to a different continent.

    I also remember telling people over and over how this was going to be a huge loss since GM would never be able to pay it back and every liberal democrat crawled out from under every rock saying that this was going to be a great profit and win. NOW ... now its "Oh, we never meant to make a profit." Yeah, just like if I liked my health care / doctor I could keep it. Just wait till the 2014 elections ...

    From the summary: $49.5-billion bailout of the automaker begun in late 2008 under former President George W. Bush.

    Unless you know a lot of liberal democrats that were GW Bush fans...

    The mainstream media had (IMHO thankfully) a bit of a hate-on for Bush, so every little thing his administration did wrong was broadcast loud and clear.
