Please know that I don't mean this as a direct attack on you personally, and I totally understand what you're saying and why, but that attitude is going to be the downfall of civilization. The world would be a much better place if we, as communities, would stop trying to screw our neighbors in the name of getting more…

So he is suggesting that we spend thousands of our dollars for solar panels and use them not to produce the most amount of electricity we can for OURSELVES, but use our investment to more reliably power other peoples homes and take strain off the utility company. While I'm doing that, I'm going to put the rest of my…

Also interestingly, the whole town has a really unpleasant smell when they are processing pumpkins.

Not a scientist, but did some research on ebola a few years back. Ebola is a terrible disease from an evolutionary standpoint. It kills the host (at least with primates) too quickly, and symptoms begin even quicker. Because of this short time span the window of exposure is low. With AIDS/HIV the host could show no…

What warrant? Did the NSA Get a warrant when they performed hundreds of thousands Man in the Middle attacks on everyday US citizens? Harvesting Data about almost everyone in the US? The problem is the American people have finally opened their eyes to how the government is abusing their power. Not to mention what…

Next the cops will start whining about people using curtains and blinds on their windows, and the companies who make them will be threatened. Oh and of course anyone who uses curtains or blinds will be looked at "real carefully" because there must be some nefarious reason at play.

Regardless of whether you think the people in power now will use the power appropriately or not (which they haven't), those people won't always be in power. So letting them have access now means giving every administration in the future that access. That power would eventually be abused to subvert people's rights. …

Any backdoor that exists for the government's use will be exploited by hackers eventually. Or a foreign government. If the security has a hole, the hole could be opened by someone it was not intended for. Your phone can't read a warrant, it will just be some special code that could be forged or compromised.

Oh fuck me, I was talking about how cool a mesh network messaging app would be a few days ago. Didn't even know this was a thing.

I'm with you. Maybe it's just bad luck, but I've had some terrible experiences over the last few years with ebay. Paypal should die in a fire.

On an absolutely unrelated matter, if it weren't for eBay I think I'd be done with Paypal. And I'm almost done with eBay. I've bought two things from it all year.

"Oh, so you think garbage is your ally? But you merely adopted the junk. I was thrown away in it, made moldy by it. I didn't see the soap until I was already a man, by then to me it was only cleansing. The trash bags betray you because they belong to me."
