I grew up in rural Iowa and I know people are starting to get really sick of the way this system is set up. Government subsidies make these things possible, the power company comes in and offers you money to put it on your land with little mention of the enormous amounts of cement that will be permanently left…

Well, I think we all know which one I’d pick.

What you did there. I see it.

Mattel partnered with software company Autodesk to make sure that the app was fast, easy to navigate and wouldn’t crash like so many other poorly made toy apps.

The problem with the patent office is that they let people patent ideas. Ideas are cheap. Ideas are easy. Ideas are plentiful. Ideas are practically worthless. Unless you can implement them and show a practical use, you shouldn’t be allowed to patent them or the patent should expire after a very limited time.

Great scope for tracking and targeting of users.
Sign in once, and every 150ft you’ll hand over to the next hotspot.
Could actually do some impressive stuff with this.
Identify employees of a company or gym-goers or coffee-drinkers by correlating where they seem to hang about.
Then target adverts for them. To an extreme,…

The top image is a garbage example of a slab pour; where is the inspector? No only is that woven wire mesh not on chairs, making it useless, but it looks like it is way, way too wet and has way too much aggregate in it. Furthermore, that sand doesn’t look compacted, which makes me wonder what this is for.

I do use metric quite often in my design work; although, imperial is preferred.

Every time I read “just install ad block” or “just root and get rid of it” or “just jailbreak and fix that” when something is seriously broken by default makes me want to smack people in the head.

Hope they take care of the ads for extensions that pretend they’re browser dialogues. For some reason my ad blockers don’t catch those.

Dang. When I read the headline I thought they were going to announce a new product, not a new version of an existing product. <shrug> I hope the Apple Watch update is worthwhile, I’m ready to buy.

Maybe don’t build nuclear reactors on volcanic islands and fault lines?

Pretty sure he’s just a Microsoft fanboy. They’re not as proliferated as Android or Apple fanboys, but my god are they vehement, tireless, and way up there on the socially-awkward scale.

My Dad, who is technically a baby boomer (65+, he’s about to be 72) never had it that easy. My parents got married shortly after my dad return from serving in the Navy during the CMC. He worked for Purina for a few years before buying a farm that was in shambles (and a house in similar shape) and essentially being in…

A few of these are definitely grasping at straws, but there were some good ones I didn't know about too!

Nice sloppy Photoshop job from a design focused brand.

“Donald Trump is part of the generation that know sweet f*k all when it comes to.....”

I know how it works, too. And no it would not. Cutting of those countries would have absolutely NO effect on internet in the US. None. Were are talking infrastructure here. If you physically disconnect their infrastructure it would have exactly zero effect on US internet access. And besides, who says you need the…

In reality, he’s just someone willing to go on TV, portray himself as an “expert,” and say all the things the left wants him to say. That’s it, that’s his job, not being a scientist. If he held opposite views, everyone here would hate his guts. I don’t care whether I believe in what he preaches or not, I see him for…

I’m really tired of someone with limited understanding of the scientific process, no formal education on climate dynamics, and little more than a B.S. in mechanical engineering, “explaining” such things, as if he’s an expert on the topic.

Sadly that’s the nature of most science “spokespeople.”
