  1. This is the kind of crap you get.

  2. Of course they have AC, of course they have.

  3. Re:Where should that conversation happen? on Your Political Facebook Posts Aren't Changing How Your Friends Think (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Then where is the appropriate forum?

    Face to face, where your resorting to hurling invectives at me can escalate to physical violence when you go to far and so (unless you have no self control) you *control* yourself.

  4. In the sense that you believe math works, yes. It can be empirically demonstrated.

    In the sense that you believe 2+2=4 but cannot prove it, no. The latter is relegated to religion.

    You appear to be conflating the two meanings of the word: 1) complete trust or confidence in someone or something, 2) strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion. These are not at all the same thing.

    Definitions matter.

    The examples of Milo's racism are very easy to find:

    Not in the article you linked to or any IT linked to.

    From your link: "Twitter didn't say exactly why it banned Yiannopoulos".

    Could you perhaps try a little harder to demonstrate where MILO made racist statements and not simply someone who follows him?

    "Actually, no, there aren't." Nice assertion. But that's all it is, an assertion.

    How about the forty thousand ads that you're not interested in? You picked one of 40K that *was* of interest to you. Explain how the other 40K-1 are.

  8. Or one can just edit using the preview option combined with time.

  9. It was never meant to be such. Fit athletes can have a high BMI, it's mass (muscle is heavier than fat) against height.

    A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness. BMI can be used as a screening tool but is not diagnostic of the body fatness or health of an individual.

    Emphasis mine.

  10. Re:Yes and No on LibreOffice 5.2 Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    It was overblown but it's not "pure FUD". I recently had my book lose two of its page formats upon opening and it screwed up the entire thing. Fortunately I save/backup daily and could recover but it took having to shutdown/restart my computer to make things work right again. LO does indeed lose its shit with frequency.

    As for your compatibility comment. LO certainly does read MS files better than MS programs read them.

    LibreOffice can't even do the most basic formatting correctly...

    Bull. How about you list those basics it doesn't do?

  12. Still, hundreds of people have tried to beat Superman using Kryptonite over the years, and he's still there.

    Um, because they don't want to kill off the title character for keeps? Seriously, they are comic *books*. I can write a story where Sups is beat to death with a green rock. You just don't stop once he's weak.

    It shouldn't matter either way who owns the IP to the end viewer.

    Clearly you haven't played DC Universe Online and seen the flame wars.

  14. it probably has to do with you being a misogynist, not whether or not you liked a movie

    Ha! My first thought when I watched the first trailer was "Fuck, Will Smith again." I agree, I'm so damned tired of seeing him.

    Yep. They finally figured out they *weren't* going to upload their consciousness to a computer and these kinds of things are their pants shitting.

    Hobbes gets way too much bad rap for this. Mostly he just wanted to wage war on Calvin.

    Why is it incumbent upon Britain to fix a broken EU?
    And how, by the way, seeing as how the rules and regs of the EU are not under British influence?
    Why would a Britain which leaves the EU still be beholden to its laws and regulations?

    No it isn't. My card is chipped. I just got home from making two purchases. Neither required my signature. Both required my pin.
