    Please cite any assassination attempt you suspect. Please.

  2. Re:"enlightened age of man"? on Astronomers Discover Largest Structure In the Universe · · Score: 1

    Couple of thousand years more and no one will believe in astrology anymore. Probably.

    That depends on what the Mayan Calender says.

    That's spelled douche.

    It wasn't "the US", it was the liberals of the time. Nations start wars because of greed and ideology amongst other things. Sometimes it's for extermination. Your philosophy is too simplistic.

    Little wonder you posted AC .

    It brings more conservative values as you learn with age that more people are sponging off of you. "A poor student"? I smell a vested interest.

  7. Re:A century ago, Progressives on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What purpose do you have to keep it? Are you trying to start a bank now?

    Frankly, none of your damned business, but something I want to do with it. Something to benefit me, not you.

    Obviously?

    Yes.

    Government administration is generally shown to have lower costs.

    Bullshit, that is a lie.

  8. Re:Not that big of a deal... on EPA Makes Most Wood Stoves Illegal · · Score: 1

    Yes. It's a Swedish furnace. It's designed with an upper chamber that collects the gasses and once high temp is reached, burns them again. I built one at my farm. I could actually put my hand in the chimney exhaust and hold it there without burning it. You have to use high temp brick lining, but overall it's easily built.

    [1] Yes, he really did write two books about this.

    No, "By His Own Bootstraps" was a short and a logical puzzle more than a story.

    Heh. My brother and I were crazy and played tag with darts and made dart guns of straws and pins.

    I'm a developer who writes free "apps".

    And I'm the god of the universe. You're an AC who is delivering an anecdote. I need to believe you and/or change to your stated view of things why?

    We had a 'free and open internet' long before ads appeared.

    Only in the sense of a hand-out sheet as opposed to a magazine. I was there too. Tip jar buttons are ads as well, just small, specific to site and somewhat (not always) unobtrusive.

  15. Re:This is bad on Mozilla Backtracks On Third-Party Cookie Blocking · · Score: 1

    The ad industry mostly puts ads into pages about other stuff,

    You mean like TV, newspapers, magazines, etc?

    "Your first line proves you can't be impartial."

    Bullshit. Just because one is employed by in an industry in no way invalidates their truthfulness or impartiality off the job.

    The rest of the post may give you that opinion, but his simply working in an industry shouldn't.

    Pedantically, you're correct. The actual quote (which I just watched a video of her saying) is:

    Perhaps you could provide a link to a the entire "context" so people can judge for themselves? Relying on your word seems so... shallow of thought.

    "And the law does not require the provider to drop it."

    A complete untruth. The new regs make many currently existing policies illegal, as they don't provide the ***required*** coverage.

    Tut, tut. Some of us do. You can't find chokecherry, elderberry or persimmon (tastes like champagne) for purchase, you have to make it. And it's very simple to do.

  24. LOL, great memory on Leak: Almost a Third of Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatches Are Being Returned · · Score: 1

    I had a friend, Terry, who was around two hundred and eighty pounds. He bought one of those. Luckily for him, it came with a small stylette for pushing the minuscule buttons. His finger was damned near as wide as half the watch. Funny as hell to watch him hunched over (why, I don't know) poking tiny little buttons with his face about six inches away.

    Last part of last sentence of abstract, by the way

    And to which I say, big deal. Jaguars, spiders, raptors, poisonous mushrooms, etc, etc, etc. All of the above have. It's called their environment and snakes are no more important to a squirrel monkey than a Harpie eagle.
