  1. According to USA Today, the steel tariffs impact automobiles in the $200 to $300 per vehicle range, not "about $50", but thanks for playing, deplorable Trump apologist!

  2. Steel and aluminum tariffs couldn't possibly affect GM profitability, now could they?

  3. Re:Sensors on NASA's InSight Successfully Lands on Mars (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    One of my life goals is to go down in the history books as the first human to die on Mars. Unfortunately, my health isn't good enough for them to take me as a volunteer, never mind that fact that I'd likely commit suicide the instant we landed just to make sure I got the record...

  4. Somebody please tell me how to gamify dating. The methods I'm currently using aren't working, I never get a high score!

  5. Ve haf vays of making you OBEY Ronald McDonald!

  6. Re:I'd like to "probe" Ivanka too. on Democrats Intend To Probe Ivanka Trump's Use of Personal Email In Next Congress (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Only hipsters still listen to vinyl!

  7. Re:NOPE! TRUMP GOES TO PRISON. on Democrats Intend To Probe Ivanka Trump's Use of Personal Email In Next Congress (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think the penalty for violation of the Federal Records Act is life in prison... it's probably just a fine that she can easily afford to pay.

  8. Not EVERYTHING delusional Donnie does is bad. However, I refuse to believe that being a dick just for the sake of being a dick is a good thing! And a lot of his supporters appear to love him for doing exactly that.

  9. Re:Before everyone goes crazy again... on Democrats Intend To Probe Ivanka Trump's Use of Personal Email In Next Congress (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Usually, any criminal statutes require knowledge and intent of the crime being committed.

    Funny, when I complained that I had never even seen the traffic sign I was cited for not complying with, the judge said that was no excuse, I _should_ have known! Ignorance of the law is only a valid excuse for cops, _never_ a valid excuse for lawbreakers!

  10. Re:ORANGE MAN BAD on Democrats Intend To Probe Ivanka Trump's Use of Personal Email In Next Congress (go.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So your solution is "Stop reminding me that the orange man is bad!" rather than "Can't the orange man STOP being bad?"

  11. Lock her up!!!
    Lock her up!!!
    Lock her up!!!

  12. There are other ways to build aircraft on The Forgotten Legend of Silicon Valley's Flying Saucer Man (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    The Northrop Flying Wing (Northrop YB-49) proved many of the parts we consider necessary for heavier-than-air craft aren't really necessary. In other words, a disk _could_ function as a complete airfoil.

  13. A 4K phone screen would be useful when the phone was snapped into VR goggles. I have an Oculus for my Samsung G7, but the resolution sucks.

  14. Re:Dear Google on Google Patents Motorized, Omnidirectional VR Sneakers (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    NPCs point and laugh at you?

  15. Re:Great. But I don't want to walk on Google Patents Motorized, Omnidirectional VR Sneakers (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The whole point is that it forces you to exercise while playing a video game... I consider that a good thing. In fact, most of the exercise machines at the gym are boring as heck, enough to make me think a $2000 Peloton exercise bike might be worth the cost for the operator entertainment.

  16. Story of my life on Google Patents Motorized, Omnidirectional VR Sneakers (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The harder I strive to move forward, the more it seems like the ground is moving backwards under my feet!

  17. That's a LOT of porn!

  18. Re:Can they be hacked on Most ATMs Can Be Hacked in Under 20 Minutes (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Pickup trucks appear to be the meth addicts tool of choice. (Google it)

  19. Re:Possibly true in physics - but look at biology on Science is Getting Less Bang for Its Buck (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Two things: CRISPR and genome mapping, are quite exciting now. But really, the information age has morphed into the data acquisition age, e.g. Google can track traffic conditions in real time because every vehicle running Google Navigator is sending back speed data to the mothership. Effectively, every phone is now a continuous data acquisition device. As well as every fitbit.

  20. It's not just science on Science is Getting Less Bang for Its Buck (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not getting as much bang for the buck anymore either... when did prostitutes get so expensive?

  21. Figures on Google Is Closing Its Schaft Robotics Unit (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    So the employees are getting the Schaft?

  22. Re:Don't try that in Europe on Comcast Forced To Refund $700,000 To Customers Over Misleading Fees (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    We have the best politicians that money can buy, and corporations have a lot of money... er, I mean speech!

  23. Just don't do business with them on Comcast Forced To Refund $700,000 To Customers Over Misleading Fees (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I had a one-year contract, moved a couple blocks, they insisted on canceling the contract, creating a new account, and jacking my rate up $40/month... after telling me when I got the contract that moving it to another address was no problem.

  24. "New, Trump staffer-sized lube! Available now!"
