Ooh! what is that?

Tell us more about these asshole gremlins.

cthulhu shit. I've dated guys who were all into nyarlathotep & shub niggurath. Its like sucking their own dicks.

Nevermind, I just looked at your other posts and you *are* a troll. My mistake. Enjoy your internet.

I provided specific examples when you asked for them. Essentially, it sounds like you're telling me that my assertion is baseless because you personally wouldn't engage in the practice of kicking cars. If this were a worthless practice, people wouldn't do it, and dealers wouldn't suggest it. I can't imagine what it…

There was nothing remotely baseless in my assertion that I kick the doors of the cars I consider buying.

No, I called you a troll because you came out of nowhere to pick a fight, and gainsaid every point I made. Anyway, two can play at that game — but I won't. I'm done. Good day sir.

Nope. Nope. Grow up and leave me alone.

Plenty. Bad paint. Bad body. Bad window glass. Shitty locks. Look, what are you, a car dealer? Are you actively trying to prevent me from coming into your showroom and beating up on your merchandise? Either you're just arguing to argue, or you have some vested interest in hiding the shoddiness of shitty merchandise. …

Fuck off, troll. I listed my reasons for kicking the door in my previous response, and I've used the "kick the doors" test to narrow my choices when I'm looking at multiple cars. It's as helpful as the test drive—maybe moreso.

well, that's nonsense. Just because you've never asked your friends if they do it doesn't mean that they don't. Every time I've purchased a car the dealership has offered to let me kick the doors, and I've done that 3 times in my life. You want to check the body. You want to check the hinges. You want to check the…

No, you stand next to the door and kick it. Everyone does this. You kick the tires, you kick the doors.

Agreed. I think this is tantamount to kicking the doors at a car dealership. It's a basic litmus test that ensures you're not buying a shitbox. That said, it's been pretty well documented at this point that bendgate is a real thing that affects very few people. By now anyone considering an iPhone 6+ has access to…

I love Thomson's work and am glad to see him featured on io9! Even if he *is* a crazy right I winger who spouts total buttsachary on Twitter from time to time.

When I was growing up in nineteensomething, we didn't have floppies, and tape drives were prohibitively expensive. I used a stylus to punch tall stacks of cards. Of course, a card reader was more expensive than the tape drive, so I had to re-enter all those bytes by hand when I wanted to load a saved program. Sooner…

It's Pete, you idiot. "Oh for the Pete of Jeff."
