Comment outcome? (Score 1) 325

I'm really curious how this turned out. I am all frustrated on your behalf ready to threaten a pharmacist to prevent your eyes from falling out. I hate rules and authority with an irrational passion. And yet I rarely change panes without signaling and become irritated at people who do. Maybe that is a politeness thing not a rule thing. I do like politeness. Right up to the point someone is quoting rules at me while my immune system is removing my new corneas.

Comment attitude (Score 2) 1056

Damore is a troublemaker, but his writing wasn't actively abusive. It cited journals and drew conclusions in what was obviously a carefully worded communication he knew would be controversial and even hurtful in some cases. In this case the wording is actively abusive, using derogatory terms that play on gender stereotypes. There is a clear difference in attitude and behavior here even if both people are potentially
  sexist. One person walked the line, the other didn't even try to.

nuclear is only that high because it can *only* be used for base load. It can't scale back very well at all. That doesn't make it bad, it just means those numbers aren't the whole story. Grid infrastructure or storage breakthroughs could modify those numbers without the generation tech changing at all. But distributed grids are also large surface area targets for cyber attack.

Comment implementation detail (Score 1) 333

The current scotus case law is that the legislature can only delegate implementation details of the laws they make. The wording that clarifies the meaning of that phrase indicates that implementation details do not significantly impact the effect of the legislation. So if we see the presence or absence of NN changing the internet in any significant way, then per the current case law, NN is not an implementation detail and hence not in the purview of the FCC. I personally disagree with that case law, but my polling numbers for God-emperor are down lately so it will probably stay for the time being.

Comment provide? (Score 1) 689

My employer provides a vending machine that produces weak coffee that tastes like a mixture of all the flavored options it has ever vended with just a touch of machine grease. It costs slightly less than the Starbucks in the cafeteria. They also provide a k cup machine with a filtered water supply, but it has the same flavor problem and you have to provide the kcup. "Mmmm, hazelnut mocha vanilla oolong cinnamon lady grey Columbian French breakfast Vienna roast, my favorite!"

Comment jaded (Score 1) 296

I guess I've become too jaded. I like window seats because leaning against the bulkhead is slightly more comfortable than leaning back into the seats with no headrest and support in all the wrong spots. I'm only 6ft who did theyake those things for? I also like window seats because I am in charge of the shade and I can keep it down. I don't like natural light it sunburns my atrophied muscles through my translucent skin.

It sounds like that is exactly what is happening though. I only get numbered spam. Also, I seem to get less than my friends and family. I think it is because my number lists as a landline instead of a cell. But that is just speculation. I don't get spam texts either, or is that still a thing?
