  1. And, just to show how wrong you are with your partisan bullshit (sorry "alternative facts"): Read it and see how wrong you are

    Let me read the article to you:

    You mean "part of the article". Because it goes on to say:

    The 2017 memo, however, differs in two main areas. .....

    Per usual, Trump supporter misrepresents an article. Film at 11.

    Please explain how one publishes scientific information without publishing documents?

    Perhaps you should have read the whole article:


    These viewpoints are considered by most scholars to be fringe revisionist history.[158] Challenging efforts aimed at the "rehabilitation" of McCarthy, Haynes argues that McCarthy's attempts to "make anti-communism a partisan weapon" actually "threatened [the post-War] anti-Communist consensus", thereby ultimately harming anti-Communist efforts more than helping.[159]

    Is that another Trump fact?

    McCarthy was not "completely and totally vindicated" by anything. The existence of a small number of Soviet spies did not justify the witchhunt that he pursued for political reasons. It did not justify all the false allegations and innuendo, it did not justify ruining of the careers of many innocent people.

    To Trump, facts are whatever he wants them to be.

    He is a pathological liar and simply has no concept of truth that normal people would understand. I suspect that when he is lying, he isn't aware that what he is saying isn't true.

    To be accurate, T-Mobile doesn't include calls in their plan, but there are options: 1. Connect to a WiFi hotspot and use T-Mobile's VOIP capability ("WiFi calling"), 2. Use any other VOIP app (WhatApp, Skype, Vonage Extensions, etc.) to call using only data.

    So when will the executives pay back their bonuses for their mismanagement of the company?

  10. It's hilarious how the Trump supporters, after all the abuse they dished out and telling liberals to deal with the criticism are now the special snowflakes, who cannot be criticized.

    Grow up, and grow a pair!

  11. Seems like you want something from them and they don't want anything from you. How are you going to get what you want?

    I am just going to wait for the squeals of pain when snowflakes like you realize that you have voted in someone who doesn't give a shit for anyone except his wealthy buddies.

    It's going to be hilarious.

    These are very persuasive sentiments. I wonder why the people of Wyoming don't listen to kind-hearted entreaties such as this?

    We should lie to the special snowflakes and not call out their stupidity?

    That's the new normal? Politicians in a state propose a stupid law and we should just praise the people who elected them because otherwise they might get upset?

    Surely, there is interstate commerce going on here, which would take the issue out of the hands of local politicians?

    Also, it's anti-employment, anti-business. Renewable energy employs more people than coal. The only people to benefit are a small number of miners and a tiny special interest group (coal mine owners).

    I seem to find that there is a remarkable coincidence between these scumbags calling and someone at the front door. I see no need to waste *my* time talking to the scumbag, so I ask them to wait while I answer the door and then see how long it takes for them to wise up and hang up.

    What really amazed me was one of these idiots actually called back when I did this to them.

    but I think there was a recent study (in the past few years) that suggested that mild forms of synaesthesia might be extremely common, and in fact simply part of how human intelligence works.

    Anecdotally, I was driving somewhere, listening to some music and a particular note seemed to have a taste. It was really weird. I have never experienced this before or after (or perhaps just never been consciously aware of it).

    RDS radios have been installed in pretty much every car radio in western Europe for what? 10 years? 20 years? Hacking may be possible, but it hasn't been an issue so far, probably because there isn't much that can be done, except provide a minor inconvenience to drivers.

    Why is it that car manufacturers cannot do this type of technology? It should have been obvious that 2G would be shut down within a few years of the car's manufacture.

    Last year, Nissan's "mobile app" stopped interacting with Pandora for months. It's crazy: a multi-billion dollar company can't keep an app updated so that it actually works. Also, who names their app: "Mobile App"? Really Nissan, there are apps that are not mobile? It's not even something like "Nissan Mobile".

  24. The leaking of what Microsoft software you've installed to Microsoft's servers is benign as well. Who fucking cares that Microsoft knows you have Office 2013 installed?

    But that's the key point and that's the point that you keep misrepresenting.

    No one outside Microsoft knows exactly what information is being transmitted to Microsoft.

  25. so long as the car is equipped with a Radio Data System (RDS).

    So this is just another application of RDS? This is just using an existing system for the purpose that it was designed, with the slight modification that it is installed on an ambulance?
