Comment Re: What debate? Mass vs Count noun (Score 1) 248

That's nice that you knew some Latin and are also familiar with the mass/count distinction, but I question whether you're a native English speaker, when you claim that a server asks if you want "mashed potato". It's always always always mashed potatoes.

The big question is if the chef literally only mashed a single potato and served it to you, would it still be mashed potatoes?

except the OP won't witness that "more time" experience because they weren't traveling by car to begin with. So from their perspective, everything is still improving when they change to using Uber or UberPool. This is opposed to someone who has been driving to work for 20 years and is seeing more and more traffic and being frustrated by it...but that's a classist argument. Sorry; life and cities change...get over yourself...or maybe take the subway.

Well it worked great that one time out of a few hundred.

Tesla rarely has customer dashcam videos for every time it "has" worked...we mostly only get to hear about the failures, which given the number of Teslas on the road that used autopilot in 2016, are considerably few.

...airbags and seatbelts have saved countless but we don't see an article praising how well it works.

You mean we don't see them anymore...there are literally thousands of articles and advertisements about airbags and seat belts going over the past 60 years.

Srsly, why isn't this considered an acceptable option to this crap? It seems to happen every other month with each party simply refusing to give documents and testimony to investigating committees, then everyone bitches and moans and lets it go.

Why are there not more findings of Contempt of Congress, and why is Contempt of Congress seemingly punished with a slap on the wrist?

Comment I'm not going to RTFA (Score 1) 304

If the summary is even remotely close to what this and is suggesting, then it appears he really thinks that an overabundance of CGI is what makes people indifferent to films, and not the complete dearth of decent storytelling, character development, acting, and direction. I cannot RTFA...if I do I'll spend every 3 sentence griping to myself about what a useless idiot the author is, and how the article is pure tripe...

This would not be good for my mood or my evening. I'll pass.
