The real problem is the ginormous egos involved. Lots of journalists think they know everything or rather that their preformed opinions on a subject are correct even when you point out how wrong they really are. The size of the ego is usually proportional to the popularity/employment status of the journalist in…

It’s amazing how due process has gone the way of the Dodo like freedom of speech, the 10th Amendment, slander law, etc.

Why is it someone else’s responsibility to pay for your ability to have consequence-free sex?

I find the use of the word “attack” interesting. Is there any evidence that votes were changed? Is there any evidence that information was copied from one campaign and given to the opposing campaign? No? So how is it an attack? Why is this more troubling than the usual October surprise attack that changes the outcome…

Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to have your car drive itself is insignificant next to the power of government and greed.
Translation: how will you feel when a) you have to pay a monthly fee to travel faster (see: TSA fast lanes) and b) the government decides that you…

I personally define financial independence as having what director James Cameron calls “F*ck You Money” meaning that you have enough money that you don’t have to do what someone else tells you to do.
Way back in the 1960s, my father was talking to the branch manager of Chemical Bank in New York. This guy told my…

Here’s the problem with most of these (coming from a 10-yr veteran of search & rescue): People don’t usually think about starting a fire until it gets dark.
The best one is the battery and steel wool as it works any time. Pro tip: put tape over the terminals so you don’t short it out before you need it.
It’s also a good…

Cognitive dissonance is why it seems to hit some people so hard.

I’m curious as to who actually made good on their promise to leave the country.
From my own FB feed, a friend who was never irrational until Trump got elected posts anti-Trump stuff multiple times a day. The woman needs to get a new hobby.

Talent.
We should not be teaching more people to code. We need to teach people to code well.

Totally missed the morons who pull a FULL car-length PAST the stop line before they even think about stopping knowing full well that if you are far enough away they will blow right through it because they are oh-so-busy and important that the rules don’t apply to them.

And yet, people STILL pull a FULL CAR-LENGTH PAST the sign before they even consider stopping and will blow right through it if cross traffic is far enough away.
STOP IT!!!

There’s a line in Ronin spoken by Robert De Niro: “You’re either part of the solution, part of the problem, or part of the landscape.”
Seems like WAY too many people are part of the landscape like these people at the party. Just as with the kid in the Penn State frat who got so drunk that he died, nobody did a thing.…

Two things:
1) Millenials have been misusing the word “literally” for “literally” their entire lives.
2) When are you people going to realize that nothing the government does happens overnight? Projects like these have been in the works for years.

Not visually. It’s an attitude as in thinking with your junk and not your brain.

A friend of mine ordered the plans for a jet pack. Turned out that these were just copies of the patent documents. Oh well.
I am happy to see that the company Information Unlimited that advertised in Popular Science is still in existence.

I’ve heard it said that California is the p*nis of the nation. Of course, those same people said that New Jersey is the armpit of the nation and those people lived in Manhattan at the time. Today, they can’t afford to live in Manhattan so they ended up moving to, surprise surprise, New Jersey and discovered that…

But what about the ROUSes?

I’d be happy if people actually STOPPED at stop signs instead of rolling a full car-length past the stop line before thinking about stopping knowing full-well that if you are barely far enough away they’d blow right through it because they are oh-so busy and important that the rules do not apply to them.

“Who’re”? Is that even a word? But nevertheless, I saw what you did there. Kudos.
