  1. Re:Le Show and The Big Uneasy are both excellent on Harry Shearer Walks Away From "The Simpsons," and $14 Million · · Score: 1

    Shearer backs up his points by quoting and interviewing only the experts that agree with him in the relevant fields of discussion and by quoting published hypocrisy from those in power.

    I had this problem until I purchased a CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ...

    The one I had before was 3 coils two with a nice kickstand. I liked the idea of that since it would be easier to use the phone while charging but it would just start then stop charging. The beeps really got on my nerves and my phone would be dead by morning

    The qi charger in my Camry has trouble charging my S6 even without a case on it.

    I have two 3 coil qi chargers (one at work and one at home). They work great. I always end up breaking my charger ports so it's very nice for me to only need to use that port when transferring files between my phone and computer.

  4. Re:Editorializing... on Self-Driving Cars In California: 4 Out of 48 Have Accidents, None Their Fault · · Score: 1

    When any specific humans has 4 accident driving cars, on average exactly 50% of them were caused by that specific human.

    And 50% were not.

    I'm curious to why these accidents (the ones with humans driving) are even part of the statistics? Why was it not driving autonomously. Did the human take over due to them seeing the computer was not correcting to avoid the accident?

    It makes me wonder how much of that driving was actually done while humans were are the wheel vs the machine.

  5. what does it do at four-way stop if it was the second car there but the human in the first car is waving it on?

    I hate these people, just so you know.

    Same here. And by the time everyone is done waving at each other, everyone could have had their lawful turn.

    I usually just ignore those people and wait my turn. It's a bit anti-social, but I not going to do that anymore than I will drive past the speed limit just because someone is tailgating me.

    However, they have not yet got to the point of avoiding the stupid idiots on the road. 4 out of 48 to me represents the number of accidents that the autonomous system failed to avoid.

    Exactly. And this is while going under 10 mph.

    Only because our President threatened to go back and add conditions regarding bonuses and other regulatory measures in exchange for letting the banks hold on to the TARP money. Shortly after that all these troubled companies had plenty of cash to pay back the gov't with.

    No - most did not want to accept tarp money but the Obama administration made them so they then tried to get rid of those loans as quickly as possible

    Rep Broun is hardly a valid example and I doubt anyone outside of his Georgia district has even heard of him. You can only really count him if we can state the democrats are clearly racist and use local democrats as examples.

    Both sources you mentioned Rubio have a clear biased. You don't even have to read past the headline to figure that out.

    But even taking it as truth, Rubio did not say the earth was created 6 thousand years ago. He was talking about the length of the actual creation event.

    "Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to answer that,” Rubio told GQ in an interview. “It’s one of the great mysteries.” "

    I know you prefer people that just give lip service to Christianity (Obama), but to discount people based on their belief in God is just as ridiculous as discounting people for their lack of belief.

    "Full responsibility" is one of those terms that sound tough and makes you feel like they are holding themselves accountable. Most people will be impressed at how he had the courage to tell the truth and to take full responsibility that they will never question what that actually means.

    And when someone tries to question it, you'll see tons of diversionary tactics from his defenders (usually, "well Bush did it too" - like they have so much respect for Bush that since he did it, it is OK for Obama to.)
