I’m pretty sure the dual timeline aspect caught me by surprise. I’m just too dumb to have picked up the breadcrumbs.

It’s not really art, because it lacks context.

Put it in the lobby of say the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power instead of a fountain, and it becomes a statement about Southern California’s “Forever Drought.” But then, did the artist make it art, or did the purchaser?

The “National Conversation” angle is…

Power PC stopped innovating because Apple drove a stake through their hearts when Jobs returned. They essentially denied them access to any future versions of MacOS, and that killed Power PC overnight.

I don’t know about SQL, but with enough available memory you can run Illustrator and Maya at some level of utility. Graphics are usually handled by co-processors these days, and it doesn’t take much beyond current ARM processors to run those smoothly enough for some types of work.

I’ve felt like I lived in the future the day I had a phone with GPS, an accelerometer, gyroscope, NFC chip, and fingerprint scanner, and maps where I could get both traffic and weather radar simultaneously in near real time.

Essentially, my phone has all the instrumentation of 1960s guided missile, a lot better…

Well since Buicks are Opels and are no longer Buicks, a good thing in my opinion since Buick used to be crappy Chevies half assedly given a makeover for people who couldn’t afford a Caddilac...the new ones are based on decent enough Opels, and are competent. I think Buick accomplishes their mission of competing with…

Once again, I feel that my fellow liberals, just aren’t as smart as they think they are.

These electors are not switching their vote to Clinton. So the most they can hope to accomplish, is to throw the selection of the president to the House of Representatives, who are mostly radical right Republicans.

There is no…

The FiST is a great car if all you want is a toy and to just get around town. If you’re an adult that hauls adult sized things, the FiST is pretty useless, and you need a FoST.

I love my ST and it’ll be a hard act to follow up. I’ve had it for over 4 years, and I still like it the same way I did when I first took delivery.

It’s a fantastic twisty road car, a fantastic daily driver. Decent fuel economy on the highway, achieving the “city” mileage of 23 mpg will be challenging if you live in an…

Kill the invader to save the animals that should be living there. I see no problem deciding which organism to die. The decision by Florida to not rigidly enforce laws against exotic invasive species, sealed the fate of this snake and any others they catch.

An easy view to come to if all you ever encounter is entitled super wealthy sociopathic douches. Anyone living in an area that is being gentrified can empathize.

I’ve had jobs where the robot wouldn’t have even had to be sexy.

It seems like Ford’s programming choices take predictable human reaction into account. Like if old William hadn’t stabbed Deloros, how would she have gotten to the final death scene? I think a part of the subtext of the show is that the androids do predictable things because they’re programmed to, but the humans do…

It seems like they went through the loop more than once. It’s just that he’d never witnessed anyone else go through the loop, and thought that story was just for him. He talked about her always being obsessed with that place, which implies it was more than just one journey that they experienced.

There was little…

Unlike most other rich people, most celebrities started out somewhat working class. They might have worked as waiters or working at a mall to pay the bills before acting, singing or being in a band or whatever, started paying the bills.

Unlike politicians, they maintain empathy for people who have to work for a living.

…

The only reason gasoline ever won, was that battery technology to match gasoline storage simply didn’t exist, and it’s questionable whether we’ve reached that point yet.

Clarkson, however, appears unaware that it takes roughly three times as much energy to produce the volume of hydrogen that will enable a fuel-cell car to drive 1 mile

I had a ‘95 and kept it for 17 years. I only let it go because it was ratty and hard driven and needed something entirely different (a hot hatch).

I highly recommend any post ‘93 Trans Am. Later ones and WS6s might be the prime ones to shoot for, but you’ll never find more fun for the dollar than one of the super…

The people who voted for that guy don’t trust any media but the media that agrees with their preconceived notions. Their media will filter the information that reaches them and its presentation so that it seems like everything he does is right, and all the opposition are disloyal traiters who should be hung for their…

I’d go with Ada Lovelace first. Then Alan Turing. Then maybe Steve Jobs, if you really have to name a street after Steve Jobs.
