I ended up on crutches for 18 months after a flesh eating bacteria infection in my knee after knee surgery. They cut out so many ligaments trying to save me and my leg that it could not support weight. I went back to work during that time, and I developed a habit of leaning on my crutches when I was tired. After 6…

These big glass jars and the alcohol trick were big stoner entertainment back in the 70's. They sold them at head shops, and nearly everyone had them, but most people would fuck it up - because they were stoned. When it worked right, it was impressive. I was just a little kid, but I was sure that I would have dozens…

Well, he is not a criminal until they have something to prosecute him for. He is what they call a suspect at this point.

Who says he molested a child? Not that I'm defending child porn, but let's put down the torches and pitchforks for a minute here, and get the facts straight.

The notion of being promoted until you fuck up is a depressing one, yet it is far too often followed by companies whose sole measure of people is how well they have positioned themselves for promotion. It is a stupid system, since they can just reward people for doing their current job well, especially if they are not…

I worked for a company whose entire review system was based on how well you have prepared for promotion, which is a completely ridiculous notion. There were not enough positions open for more than 2% of the people to actually be promoted, yet you were expected to maintain a constant state of acquiring new skills to…

Extremely successful? He has abused the Bankruptcy system in this country more than almost anyone else. He has screwed so many vendors out of money that way that he has a trail of failed businesses miles long behind him. He is a great con artist though. Also, he brags like a 12 year old on a playground. He must have…

They do this, but they do nothing about reviewers who give a product 1 star because of their own stupidity. I see that all the time, and it pisses me off. Shit like “They don’t have Bluetooth and require an extra amplifier”, which is a real review I saw for non powered speakers. Nowhere in the text do they even hint…

I’m starting to think that the only way this thing will be effective as a surface attack plane (which is what they are claiming it is now, since it can’t dogfight for shit) is if we use them in Kamikaze attacks. Of course, it will only be really effective at that if the radar works well enough for a precision hit. It…

The ironic thing is that a Mars mission would be the subject of intense criticism and budget cuts by the GOP because, well just because they are assholes like that. The very public nature of such a thing, and the thought of an Obama administration having such a PR powerhouse would be too much for them to allow.

Of course it may already be hacked with code buried in Chinese supplied counterfeit chips. This is already becoming a known issue. Not to mention programmers from China who are working for/with the Chinese government.

I wonder why they have the tailhooks down when they do that? My first thought was that they automatically come down with the landing gear, but there has to be an independent control for it because you would not want it extended for land based runway landings...

“As a kid you probably watched Pocahontas. In your adolescence you might have played one of the God of War games. And in your darkest moments you sat down with a bowl of dollar instant ramen to watch NCIS: Los Angeles.”

I know if I had been a teen in the days of social media, I probably would have lost it. That time of life is hard enough without the equivalent of 24/7 news coverage. I can understand the uptick in suicide among young girls being directly tied to that, since I can remember how relentless girls can be without instant…

Came in to say the same. Can confirm that the masculine camel toe is a moose knuckle.

Johnny Mnemonic will be pleased that he can lose that enormous headgear.

“ I can sell my liver. I have 2 of those, right?” Homer Simpson, in an episode that I can’t remember, except for that quote, which I use to break the tension with my wife when she gets pissed about some expensive tech I bought. This is almost a weekly occurrence, but it still cracks her up.

2- Blue people in water with some resource that an evil Corporation wants.

No, it was and probably will be a criticism of Imperialism, exploitation of ecology and indigenous people, big business, and racism, which is ironic because it perpetuates the myth of indigenous people somehow possessing almost magical powers of connection to the land, flora, and fauna that we have somehow “lost” in…

By the time the second one comes out, there will be a large chunk of moviegoers who have no memory of the first one, the much coveted youth market. Hell, I have lost interest at this point. I realize that these are effects heavy epic motion pictures, but still, it has been a long time. Any talk of a third movie is a…
