Comment That's a strike for me... (Score 1) 307

I noticed the plugin a day or two ago and couldn't remember installing it (I don't watch Mr. Robot though wifey does), but assumed I must have installed it and simply forgot.
Definitely not happy that Mozilla installed it without my express permission. Nothing from me in their stocking this year.

Comment Garmin Vivoactive HR (Score 1) 254

Though relatively light on Smart Watch functions (other than notifications), it's a great device for Fitness Tracking.
There is a newer version that has a round screen, but I can't say I'm impressed enough to want to switch.
My battery life is great (don't have to charge it every day), great GPS (though not so good downtown...but that's a limitation that all watches have), HR, calorie, steps and sleep tracking.
If you primarily want a fitness tracker, this would be a good place to start.

Comment Not broken, so don't fix it. (Score 1) 1081

It's not perfect, but it does serve it's function. What isn't perfect and should be fixed is that we only have a 2 party system (despite the appearance of supporting more parties). Time I think to look at how the party systems in other countries work, where a coalition needs to be formed if a single party doesn't get enough votes.

I'm not happy with this election's results, but I respect the system...I just think it's time to rethink the system. Probably won't happen though.

Comment Should be: First World reasons to be excited (Score 2) 282

The First World will certainly "benefit", the Third World doesn't really get much from this list.

We're so coddled that we still only think about ourselves and the world we imagine we'd like to live in (even though the one we're in is already extremely cushy for the most part).

Let's not forget that not everyone has it anywhere near as good as we do. They may not want to live like us, but they want to live without the constant threat of hunger, violence or even just a heavy rain.

Comment Re:Maybe someday.... (Score 1) 369

Agreed. I tend to not read as many AC entries anyway...I can ignore the idiots, though that sometimes means I miss entries that actually contribute to the discussion.

I don't see it as necessary to attempt to block trolls...as has been said, they'll find their way in one way or another if they're desperate. I ignore them like I ignore advertisements.

Comment A great way to piss off your audience (Score 5, Insightful) 254

The restrictions are just way too limiting. It's a big universe, and CBS/Paramount should "make" space for proper fan fiction, not beam-it-out in wide-dispersal mode.
I for one, will think twice before spending any money on any new Star Trek ventures going forward. Very, very disappointed.
