    Yeah, but you're consistently a liar, so fuck what you think or say.

    If someone is consistently a liar, you can always count on what they say.

    The problem is people. There is no technology that can keep us honest.

    I am an old man, and even though I'm inclined to cynicism, I still believe most people are honest. And gullible, unfortunately.

    We've finally reached the point where progressives are actually citing feminist studies as citable science. At this point one can no longer deny that progressivism is simply a religious movement that cannot get over its dogma.

    Here's another study you can try to pretend isn't "citable science" because you don't like the way it portrays you.

  6. by comparison on George H.W. Bush, 41st President of the United States, Dies At 94 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I guess, all things considering, and in comparison to the big, wet dotard in the White House today, George H.W. Bush wasn't so bad, for a war criminal.

    I hope that at some point he sought some peace in his later years, maybe with his spiritual adviser of choice. He was awfully lucky not to die in prison or the Hague. He's also lucky to die at a time when he can benefit from the comparison. It reminds people that there was a time when even a bad president could commit crimes but still do a few decent things and be able to speak without showing himself to be a gibbering idiot or humiliate the entire country with treason and corruption.

    Idiot or not, you have to admit, the Orange Man is pretty fucking bad. Historically bad. All-time bad. The kind of bad that will be the stuff of jokes for decades upon decades to come.

    Here, check out this video of Vlad Putin and the butcher prince from Saudi Arabia dapping each other up at their good fortune at installing such a weak dog as president of the United States.

    The change in life expectancy is very small. I'd rather know about quality of life. How active are people in their later years?
    Is modern medicine making our lives better?

    It very much depends upon where you are located. If you're in West Virginia, your later years are getting much worse. If you're in California, especially the Central Coast, your later years are great.

  14. DJ Khaled getting busted for cryptocurrency is one of those stories that we'll look back on someday and laugh. I mean, it's probably not a laughing matter for DJ Khaled, but it's pretty funny and really a slice of life in 2018.

    But Ludacris' verse on that DJ Khaled song is fire. It's one for the ages.

    Ludacris goin' in on the verse
    Cause I never been defeated and I won't stop now
    Keep your hands up get 'em in the sky for the homies

    I never went no where
    But they saying Luda's back
    Blame it on that Conjure

    And I'm on this foolish track, so I spit my foolish flow
    My hands go up and down like strippers booty's go
    My verses still be serving, tight like a million virgins
    Last time on a Khaled remix, now I'm on the original version
    Can't never count me out

  15. Re:Oh good! on Google To Open Project Fi To iPhone, Samsung, and OnePlus (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    T-Mobile has better coverage and costs a lot less

    Since Project Fi goes over the T-Mobile network, and the Sprint network, and the Cellular One network, it has at least the same coverage as T-Mobile.

    For a similar plan on Google Fi, it's $135/month and they throttle you after 15GB.

    There's no throttling on Project Fi, and my monthly bill comes to $40. And there are no additional fees. The bill is the bill.

  18. I'm rather curious what would have been used as the next form of tie-breaking if rapid chess proved no better at establishing a victor.

    If that happens, things start getting really interesting. They do play more rapid chess, but now one player gets 5 minutes on the clock and the other gets 4 minutes. If the one with 4 minutes can play to a draw, it's considered a win and that breaks the tie. This is known as "Armageddon". I'm not kidding.

    Way back in the day before I lost my mind, I played competitive chess in ICF-sanctioned events, and those are still the rules.

    Also, did you know that this was the first championship in history to have all the games in regulation-play drawn? By the way, the best coverage of this tournament was by Ben Tippett over at Deadspin.

    Not quite coverage everywhere. Where I'm located in central PA there's no T-Mobile or Sprint coverage worth while

    I'm surprised. I spent time in State College last year and had no problem with Project Fi. Also, I drove straight across the state on I-80 and listened to Spotify the whole way on my Project Fi phone.

    What's Project Fi again?

    A very good wireless service. Great prices, coverage everywhere.

    I've been using it since 2014 (I think) and I've got no complaints, except that sometimes on calls to certain Eastern European (Balkan) countries, there is like a 5-second delay, which makes it impossible to carry on a conversation. But usually if I just hang up and call again it works fine, and to be fair, it might have nothing to do with Google's service. Other than that, it's been the perfect service to me. Data is really cheap and you only pay for what you use, so often my monthly bill is less than I expected. I've moved a lot over the past few years and the coverage has been great in the Midwest, East Coast, Houston, and now California.

    You can only pay by automatic pay, and there are only certain devices that will work with Project Fi. I started with a Nexus 5, which was a very good phone and then went to a Pixel, which is also a very good phone except I hate that fucking notch.
