Funny innit how :

If only there had been an electric car at a very competitive price that was designed specifically to cover every use case, including the fact that people make short trips most of the time and that it’s actually more efficient to burn fuel on really cold days.

Ummm New York state law REQUIRES that DWI checkpoints are publicly posted ahead of time. Both time and place.

Perfectly viable, as they completed the mission fully and had no further purpose at the time they died. They cruised all the way from Earth as expected, responding to commands and sending back data including images and relayed telemetry. They functioned all the way through landing of the mission they were meant to…

This reminds me of something...

I’m curious why there’s no discussion in this article of the allegations that it was Chinese spying, and Huawei’s benefit of the proceeds thereof, that brought down Nortel, Canada’s biggest tech company.

In Canadian media, there’s been lots of discussion over the years of the amount of time it took National Defense to…

The one where they received third degree burns and required surgery?

You see this?  This is how you do Kinja, folks; this is what you’re supposed to do with Kinja. Take heed.

You forgot one Samantha;

As a rotary phone technician, I wouldn’t trust any of these internet-connected phones as far as I could throw a building. If it’s connected to the internet, it can be compromised. If you want a phone to be truly private, it needs to be closed-circuit. If it’s not connected to the outside world, the outside world…

So how do you then allow people to view their cameras when they are not at the location? You need an internet connection for that. If you are selling people cameras without a way to see them from elsewhere, I suggest you either quit the business or enter the 21st century.

All terms and conditions documents over 500 words should just be rendered null and void. If you’re not trying to screw or trick people, you can express clearly what the deal is without a novel-length TOS in legalese. You know you don’t read these things, they know you don’t read them, you know they know you don’t, the…

As funny as that is, many things that don’t make “sense” are actually the smarter way to do it.

Speaking as a pasty Irish woman, when I was around 2, I found a bottle of what I guess I thought was water in the house (in Ireland). So I drank it. As you do when you are a toddler. Then ran a ridiculous fever and ended up in hospital. What was in the bottle? The water they washed my great grandmother’s dead body in…

Ants, live, a whole left over sodas' worth. I was about 13. So much shrieking and vomiting ensued. 100s of ants... And it was more the sensensation of the live ants desperately trying to climb out of my through and mouth that kept my gag reflex active for hours days weeks...

When I was in my late 20's, met a guy for a “contract / gig” off of Craigslist for some web dev work. Met for coffee, harmless at first, seemed pretty legit until he gave me a thumb drive and asked me to look at some ‘example’ code for a project he was working on to give it some feedback.. Emailed me a few days later…

I don’t see why they need to make brine to begin with.... old tech?

Unbelievable. Our government is prosecuting people for giving water to people in the desert. Just sit with that for a moment and tell me you don’t want to set something on fire. What an unbelievably fucked system this is. Charles Dickens himself couldn’t have imagined something like this. I’m so tired.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’re going to lock me up and throw away the key.”

Like, it’s pretty well known that the Pinkerton’s were corrupt assholes who were basically hired thugs for wealthy businessmen to intimidate workers and prevent from unionizing.
