Comment Well they were running out of content anyway (Score 1) 110

The original Takeshi Kovacs novels series that this show was basted off of only consisted of three novels anyway, and the series used content from all three. That was one of the things that I was disappointed about the original three novels when I read them. The story just never went anywhere. The universe as a whole was wonderful, but there wasn't a really solid over arching narrative. :/

Comment Moon Gold (Score 3) 198

And if you believe that the numbers out of China are even remotely accurate then I've got a gold mine on the moon to sell you for cheap. Hell... we've got some suggests that the numbers here in the US are way off. And some people out there thinks that an authoritarian state like China with a long history of downplaying disaster is going to be honest this time? I wouldn't be surprised that we're already looking at the better part of 2 million deaths already.

Comment Good enough rason to delete your account them (Score 1, Redundant) 334

I never really used my Reddit account anyway. But if they're going full potato and jumping on the 'hate speech' band wagon that's a good enough reason to abandon the site entirely. Because rules like this will always be applied with an eye towards the censorship of political ideologies that the owners and admins of the site do no like, even if they do not violent these new rules. And will also always give favored groups a pass even if they are observably violating the letter of these new rules.

The tricky thing about most of these files is that it still requires a fair amount of knowledge and several expensive machine tools to build even parts of the weapons. Which is one of the reasons most of the hoopla over these files is massively over blown. The kind of a-hole that would build weapons for malicious intend will probably just try to build a bomb instead of spending the time to carefully machine and craft a decent working firearm.

Yeah... Star Trek Picard is just god-awful. Just like STD. I was a fan of the 90s era Star Trek... but anything past Enterprise was just ass. And even then, Enterprise was often pretty meh.

Personally I just try to remember episode 11 of Season 7 of TNG... Parallels. Where Worf ends up bouncing between dimensions. I just chose to believe all of this garbage Trek from Jar Jar Abrams is just ST from the dumber dimensions out there and just ignore it everything they make now.

What are you, a fuckin' sociopath? You're going to compare not fawning over this pretentious cunt to her liking to just letting people die?

Yeah, maybe it's rude. But it's also even more rude to be a petulant ass that thinks she deserves constant undivided attention. Especially when your customer is just trying to buy a quick cup of coffee.

Comment Re:Prohibition doesn't work. (Score 1) 42

Two things come to mind here for me. The first: back in the early 2000s some nut from New Zealand created a website where he was working out how to create a DIY cruise missile using off the shelf components. He got pretty decently into the project before the US Federal Government leaned on the government of NZ to have him shut down. Secondly we've are now seeing videos and photographs of rather sophisticated DIY weapons systems in conflict zones. Not simply crude shop made guns, but entire armored vehicles and armed drones. They're not nearly as well made as examples of these technologies build by state level actions. But they're more than well enough to be deadly.
