    Yeah, I gotta think this committee's going to uncover some stuff they weren't intending to uncover. Kinda how the Lewinsky affair took out several high ranking GOP congresscritters as collateral damage.

    Wow, someone missed all the benghazi hearings.

    Yeesh! That was dire. But I get your point: I'll definitely make the joke next time to save us from your attempt.

    When compared to my full tower desktop with corner desk and triple monitors, my laptop is only a little larger than my tablet.

    Yeah, I should have gone with a joke about the size of your penis.

    Yeah we only have one TV because you don't really need more with tablets around, and they are far cheaper than the car entertainment systems.

    Huh, hadn't thought of that. That probably explains why I still haven't installed the bedroom TV since we moved house, and that was three years ago. Guess, I'm getting a dual monitor setup after all for my gaming rig!

    I would but my laptop does these just fine and takes up just about as little space while doing a lot more at the same time.

    I find it interesting that you think 'twice as much' is the same as 'just about as little space'. If I were less lazy, I'd hit you with a joke about the size of your penis.

    Only because you have no imagination. I'm still using mine as a light browser, email client, videophone, occasional gaming time waster, VNC client, as well as acting as the remote for my soundbar, TV and Plex server.

  8. Re:All employees think they perform above-average on Tesla Employees Detail How They Were Fired, Claim Dismissals Were Not Performance Related (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Your comment makes me think scale is a part of the problem. The largest organization I've ever worked for was maybe 50 people, and generally speaking, when someone's underperforming, they've usually been let go before too long.

    If you live on low quality flood prone land, MOVE.

    And when ~2 Billion people have to do just that, what do you think's going to happen to those of you "smart" enough to live in the hills?

    I find it amusing that you have no recollection of Communist countries trumpeting their superiority by citing fake accomplishments.

    That has nothing to do with what's hilariously wrong with what you said. Try again.

  13. Re:And in other news ... on Real Moviegoers Don't Care About Rotten Tomatoes · · Score: 0

    Actually, I haven't yet watched a few items on this list. I find Archer overrated (but still way better than Orville), Preacher's mostly OK at this point, maybe they'll eventually grow into the insanity of the source material. And House of Cards is nice, but that particular combination of themes and plot have been done way better in the past.

    Next time, if you have a problem with my argument, rebut on the merits instead of assuming some bullshit that makes your dick hard for 5 seconds.

    No, TFA at axios, with the help of published data, did. Go strawman somewhere else.

    Talk about damning with faint praise! I get your point, but at the end of the day, my time is finite, even in the 'mind mush' category, which, as you've pointed out, is oversubscribed.

    Better than Preacher? Westworld? The Americans? The Leftovers? Rick & Morty? Archer? Better Call Saul? American Gods? Orphan Black? Silicon Valley? Handmaid's Tale? House of Cards? Twin Peaks? Fargo? A substantial chunk of Marvels and DC's TV shows?

    Hell, even ST: Discovery is better, and it has no idea what it wants to be either.

    Ugh, Orville is so boring. Either lean into the comedy or go for full ST:TNG replacement. This middle ground that McFarlane is trying to tread just isn't working.

    As much as the film was essentially a failure, I at least felt like I got my money's worth. I kind of feel the same way about it as I did the Robocop remake: Great movies if you have no knowledge of the originals.

    Gonna need a source on that. That's never ever been this site's forte.

  23. Ya know, considering how many people complain that everything comes connected to the 'cloud' nowadays, (whether it needs it or not), you'd think someone would have started up a company that sells untethered products. Seems like there would be a market for that.

    Well, it's Bones, so no great loss there. And as for prominent labels, meh. Fake brands take me out of a show/movie far easier than real ones.

    It doesn't take up much time, true, but it certainly does pull me out of the show quite often.

    Yeah, how dare my favourite character take a swig from a red Coke can instead of a fuschia Cooke can. Took me right out!

    There are numerous shows that I had to stop watching altogether because the product placement was far too disruptive.

    Do tell.
