scoobford,

I agree. My calc I professor would just silently scribble equations on the board, then turn around, gesture wildly, and shout “You see”.

I remember right before the drop date, I had a 34 in the class, and he took time out of class to beg us to study because if too many people failed, he might have consequences.

The only grade left was the final. I did much worse on it than the rest of the course, but my course grade shot up to the low 70s. Sure enough, I had the like 4th highest grade in the class.

scoobford,

The democrats are the liberal party. They support abortion, religious freedom, police reform, civil rights (sometimes), drug decriminalization, etc.

That being said, they are trying to encapsulate and entire half of the political spectrum. There’s going to be gaps, disagreements between individual party members, and places where one policy or value has to override another.

scoobford,

Its a retirement vehicle in that it prevents future rent raises from threatening your retirement, not in that you can/should live off of your home’s equity. Nobody wants to go back to work at 85 because their rent doubled.

scoobford,

Basically, yes. Plus, it may be unconstitutionally searched if you are detained.

scoobford,

Average cost of college is under $150k/person. Warrant Buffet is worth $133,500,000,000 (rounded heavily). Warranty buffet could pay for approximately 890,000 people to go to college.

However given the fact that is most of a million people, and how much of a racket education in the US, I think the actual figure is much higher, because he could do several things to drastically reduce the overhead involved.

scoobford,

That’s for 1 year’s tuition. I looked up the average for 4 years plus books, supplies, fees, etc.

scoobford,

It’s about making it more palatable for observers.

Lethal injection was much, much less humane than the guillotine, but it wasn’t as pretty so that’s what we switched to.

scoobford,

It likely isn’t any different in imported models, flame retardant materials are a very basic and very important safety feature.

Also, it is surprisingly hard to import a car in the US. I’d kill for decent hot hatch that wasn’t $40k.

scoobford,

The fundamental disconnect is that they believe a fetus is a human life.

So to them, you’d be asking for legal permission to do a murder so you don’t have to be responsible for a child. I’m not saying it is correct, but it is internally consistent.

scoobford,

Pretty sure that was illegal at the time…

scoobford,

There isn’t much of an alternative. All major manufacturers have been doing this for a while, we are approaching the point where you’ll need to buy and maintain a classic car to avoid this type of data collection. Unfortunately, most people simply do not have the time, money, and expertise to do that. Nor should they have to.

scoobford,

I work in somewhat high-level banking, and while I admit that I assumed a government institution would be better about this than private companies, this sounds very par for the industry.

Things are less fucked at lower levels, like operations or retail, but I’ve never heard of someone working in high levels of banking that didn’t have a laundry list of potentially actionable HR complaints.

scoobford,

I find his comedy to be more smug and condescending than humorous or clever.

Don’t really know anything else about him. Don’t care to either, he can live his life and I can live mine.

scoobford,

I think Johnny is ultimately just Johnny. His growth throughout the game is coming to terms with the fact that he lost the fight against the corps and that the ends never really justified the means when he hurt the people close to him. He has to accept that he was always just a scared kid in an unfamiliar country desperately pretending to be hard enough to survive.

So…I think you can trust him to fuck shit up and fight the corps basically as soon as he calms down from realizing he is still alive. If it carried even a slight chance of success, I think he’d happily walk into Arasaka tower on a suicide run the minute you see him in the diner.

I don’t think he’d hand your body back until you’re chooms though, which is really cemented in the grave scene.

scoobford,

You can sense the girth, but friction throws you off a lot. Something the size of a pea can feel massive (and very, very long), but it’s actually just not wanting to come out and taking its sweet time.

Source: lots and lots of anal.

scoobford,

I use a lenovo flip. I love the reversible hinge, but the flip functionality is quite buggy and the build quality is kind of crap.

I’ve been eyeing a framework 13 for years now, but I don’t want to be wasteful by buying a laptop I do not need yet. They look really well supported and easy to work on.

System76 has been a classic for a long time, but I’ve never had the money for one go their units.

scoobford,

I’m covered for a couple of weeks. After that, I can either leave the city, forage for food, or steal some, depending on what the state of the world is.

Keurig's new K-Rounds coffee pods are plastic-free and could finally make single-serve coffee-making sustainable (www.techradar.com)

This is quite exciting in that it removes plastic waste. I see no reason why different companies can’t make different shape ones to maintain their lock-in. I expect a knock-off market to pop-up, but that exists with plastic pods too. It’s a step in the right direction at least.

scoobford,

They’re very poor brewers, but most people like that sort of grimy mass market coffee flavor. Or just want caffeine and feel weird about taking tablets.

scoobford,

Sort of. You want an even extraction most of all, and while their grinders are probably pretty good, the water coming in doesn’t saturate the grounds evenly and isn’t a consistent temperature.

scoobford,

Nope, it is regular coffee grounds, but usually they’re using terrible beans. You can actually get nice third wave pods, but there’s only so much better beans can do if your brewer isn’t doing its job well.

scoobford,

This probably shouldn’t surprise me. She was originally a Christian musician before she figured out that she was talented enough to make serious money if she marketed herself on sex appeal.

scoobford,

I’m not, but I’ll probably see it once it hits the internet.

I just don’t have high hopes for a Mad Max movie without Mad Max. I don’t think the studio probably does either.

scoobford,

I don’t know what you do or do not know about Linux, but I’d highly recommend using a desktop Linux distribution instead, like Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, or Arch. Something with quick releases so you get new performance improvements and bugfixes quickly.

SteamOS in particular is really cool on a handheld, but would be kind of irritating to use on a regular laptop. It’s also immutable, which protects you from fucking up too bad, but also makes certain types to configuration way harder.

I love Arch, but don’t install it unless you want to learn how it works. Archinstall is quick and easy if you aren’t scared of the terminal, but it doesn’t hold your hand at all and you will break something if you don’t read the news or fuck about without knowing what you’re doing.

scoobford,

The bible considers it a sin, but sin doesn’t keep you out of heaven if you’re Christian, you basically just have to try and do better.

The Catholic church decided it was a mortal sin, and because you didn’t have time to go to confession afterwards, you would go to hell.

That’s a drastic oversimplification, but it is kind of the root of it.

scoobford,

Putting down a dog without a good reason isn’t animal cruelty most places if you put it down humanely.

This weird and gross and downright disturbing, but it isn’t animal cruelty unless she shot it in the stomach to watch it bleed out or something. Which honestly, she may have for all we know, she’s obviously unhinged or very, very dumb.
