  8. The word Feinstein on Burr-Feinstein Anti-Encryption Bill Is Officially Released (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I've learned that any bill with the word Feinstein attached to it will be based on ignorance and fear. How this idiot keeps getting re elected is beyond my comprehension.

  9. Re:This is not surprising, considering .... on Replacing Butter With Vegetable Oils Doesn't Decrease Risk of Heart Disease, Says Study (medicalxpress.com) · · Score: 1

    It's hardly a niche fad. In many countries (without access to all the processed crap), it's called "eating what's available".

    Some people build model airplanes, others fly drones around to get poor women setenced to jail time.

    Yes, that woould work. Just like banning private drug sales. It would end the problem lickety split.

  13. The same could be said for 60 million gun owners. But it never seems to get any traction. We need to ban pit bulls.

  14. Re:Important to note on LSD Microdosing Gaining Popularity For Silicon Valley Professionals (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    Indeed.

    I'm tired of the total acceptance of drug taking in the higher echelons of society. The little jokes in the media world about powdering your nose, about the use of Bolivian Marching Powder to help get through deadlines.

    These are drugs, no matter how wealthy or powerful you are, and using these drugs helps criminals.

    Let's have a little equality.

    You only help criminals by criminalizing drugs.

  15. Re:I pick....canceled on Pentagon Picks Northrop Grumman For Next Gen Bomber (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    We don't need a next gen bomber, we have murdering human beings down pat. There is no need for improvement on that front anymore.

    Yes, we do. Bombers get old. And we no longer have the capability of building B-52's. The assembly line is long since gone to wherever old assembly lines go when they stop making something.

    Since the B-52 is pre-interwebs and mostly pre-computer, recreating the ability to manufacture B-52's is likely to be even more expensive than designing a new bomber from scratch, even ignoring that we want stealth and other fun things in a new bomber.

    Note that the B-1 and B-2 suffer some of the same problems - not making them anymore means recreating the ability to make them with modern machine tools may be as hard as or harder than starting a new bomber from scratch.

    No we don't. The point he was making is the old bombers we have now murder just fine.

  16. Re:The 1911A1 is still the most perfect pistol on Makers Compete To Produce US Army's Next Official Handgun (military.com) · · Score: 1

    I was going to post the same thing. Unfortunately the army will probably find it isn't expensive or complicated enough.

    So what? Then take a taxi.

  18. Re:GOOD GRIEF! on The Decline of 'Big Soda': Is Drinking Soda the New Smoking? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You don't need to filter it. Tap water is drinkable as is. Seeing people buying cases of bottled water makes me cringe/laugh.

    If only they did that with the military.

  20. Uhhh, the information has already been leaked on Extortionists Begin Targeting AshleyMadison Users, Demand Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    What are they paying for? For them to remove the information from the Interwebs?

    So do drivers in a carpool get extra insurance? We need to ban carpools.

  22. Paper Ballots on Virginia Ditches 'America's Worst Voting Machines' · · Score: 1

    At least in Fairfax county in the last election we had a choice to use a paper ballot that was scanned in or the WINVote machines. Most people seemed to be using the paper ballots as I recall.

  23. Re:Environmentalists will cause the next nuclear a on How the Next US Nuclear Accident Might Happen · · Score: 1

    You don't "upgrade or even maintain old plants" without a shitload of money. Safely storing fuel as well. I doesn't matter who supports or doesn't support them, it matters who will fund them. Both sides have problems there.
