  1. I think you are thinking of indaskeet skeet skeet gaming.

  2. step 4) good luck with that

    step 5) realize that a person can't just "move" anywhere they want because they are American

  3. I work for a company that designs automation, I still design automation from time to time (IT manager now) There are still A LOT of tasks that you simply can not automate cost effectively. I am not sure why a lot of people on slash dot assume you can just automate everything for low costs.

  4. I have a theory! on How President Trump Could Destroy Net Neutrality (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    What is with all the speculation that he will do the worst that anyone can imagine in every situation before he has even taken office? This is all by the same media that was found to be completely full of shit the entire race. Now that it's over am I supposed to accept their bullshit once again and act like they are just reporting the news, not pushing an agenda. For fucks sakes! We have ADHD of history now where people learn nothing from the past or want to ignore it. It is utterly mind boggling how you can put the evidence in some ones face on something and they will go out of their way to ignore it and on other things they are all in and accept it as truth with little more than hearsay. WTF? Does no one research anything any more or look to seek out the actual truth on matters any more? It's like everyone has become like the people in the hospital at the end of 50 first dates.

    Do you really think the protests are anywhere near what the media has claimed they are? They wouldn't even tell the truth about how many were showing up at Hilary rallies but I am suppose to think this time they are factual?

    I'd like to emphasis that the US is about the most free thinking country in the world. Damn them for looking at the history of claims and results! Please tell us more of the countries that let human suffering go on and control their people, because those are the people we should listen to. The one's that have their opinion formulated for them.


    You are probably a person that claims China is such a leader in supporting efforts to stop climate change while ignoring that past 10am in ANY major city in China you can even see across the fucking street.

    So what predictions have they made that have actually come true that can be directly link to AGW? All the ones from years ago said either we'd all be under water or it would be so hot outside no one would be able to go outside. That we'd not be able to grow farming crops, that we'd have no water to drink. So at what point do you keep pouring money in to a cause that doesn't have a good track record of getting things right? A whole lot could have been done to make this a better planet with the trillions of dollars that have been given to research and "combat" AGW yet every month it's more and more dire, with Henny Penny like "the sky is falling" refrain. If the money that we have spent already hasn't helped and these same people are asking for more, at what point do you want to be rational about it? It's to the level of televangelism with their "we are in dire need of donations to feed the starving people of "X" country."

    Mathematics is not an art. It's a way of proving truth and actualities. The solving of problems might take on an "art form" or people that solve at high levels might be considered "an artist" in mathematics, but that doesn't make it art. Mathematics can prove or disprove the science. You seem to be confusing "pure mathematics" with actual mathematics. Big difference.


    That's why I believe the group that pushes AGW ignores math because it disproves many of their claims. In 2014, I believe, Nasa and Noaa claimed it was the warmest year ever by .02C then later said the tolerance for correctness of that claim was ± .1C. That means that there is absolutely no chance that the number they claimed is accurate. That's mathematics and there is no evolving model of it that would change to make that number being any where close to being correct. So when someone shouts that from the mountain top and then ignores the questioning of how their math doesn't add up, I am going to believe that person is full of shit, mathematically speaking.

    Environmental awareness is fine. Climate change doesn't help this as it sucks money away from truly good efforts to clean areas up and protect lands. Clean waters, stopping pollution, etc, have all lost funds to the succubus of climate change. It's might raise awareness but if funding is robbed from these other causes it hurts them more than helps.

I don't like either of them, but I find it funny that the hypocrisy of it is totally ignored.

    Who the fuck are others to claim to be some moral compass and "point out" others as immoral? Do you want mob rule? Have you never read books like the Scarlet Letter? 1984 or Animal Farm? You "pointing out" what you and a mob deem "immoral" is just being the puppet for you government so that they use you as a tool of a means to an end. You want people dragged through the street for things you deem immoral with no rule of law. You want to pass judgement in some sort of Salem Witch Trial style of something you think is ok but is even more hateful and bigoted then the people you want to label as such. What ever happened to live and let live? No, we have those that claim to be high and mighty in the public eye, want to judge those they don't agree with while being a massive hypocrite behind closed door.

    Thanks for the perspective from California, but don't have much of a handle on the city of Detroit's situation. Do you think the people left Michigan?? They just left Detroit and filled the surrounding suburbs. If you included the area surrounding Detroit the population would rival some of the biggest cities in the US. People didn't leave the area, they just left Detroit. The city is coming back in the downtown area but most of suburbs are pretty bad still. They do not need more people to stress the system even more. They need to correct the corruption and mismanagement that has been going on for years. Throwing more people in the mix isn't going to fix that. BTW, that's cute with the "several Muslim families" comment. I guess you missed Dearborn being the largest population of Muslims outside of the middle east??

    That would be fine is the adjustments were not always in their favor. So are we all acting like climate change doesn't get billions upon billions of funding every year? Fun thing about money, it will stretch what a person's morals let them do. So explain 2014's claim of "warmest year ever!!" of .01c higher and a tolerance of ±.1 c? Do you know how tolerances work? Let me enlighten you. When the tolerance is a bigger number than the number you are trying to qualify, your qualifying number has absolutely no chance of being right. You can argue math if you want. Good luck with that. To ignore that is about the same as ignoring E in the theory of relativity.
