And a dart board. Doesn't someone do that annual thing where a monkey and a dart board beat the average fund manager? Heck, just buy the broadest index fund there is and you can sleep at night.

People want to remain in a political bubble. It helps convince them they're right.

Don't worry.

everyone knows they broadcast the fake moon landing from Parkes, bouncing it off the moon so it would LOOK like it was coming from the moon.

out of old VW beetles and surplus train track. But why would you?

when it's resubmitted. Just to remind them it's TWO THOUSAND and freaking FIFTEEN not NINETEEN FORTY SEVEN.

I still have my Dreamcast to fall back on.

Russian _____________ Spinning Out Of Control. OK, easy potshot, but hey - Ukraine, Crimea, poisoned pols, puppet leaders... this well doesn't seem to be running dry anytime soon. For perspective on flying to the ISS a colleague needed to fly some software on a thumb drive to the ISS. Beyond the cargo charge, the Shuttle shakedown of the item involved extensive testing of the sw, the physical device, etc. with the associated cost with a comma in it. The Russian criteria for flying the stuff was a bit more streamlined. It amounted to little more than "did the check clear?" Yes, their flight hardware is very reliable, though actually flying in it beats you up and makes the shuttle seem like a luxury liner.

and we clean things up, we've depleted some money and gained a cleaner environment. If the deniers are wrong and we let things go past a tipping point, we've saved money and depleted the environment. Last I checked it was easier to create wealth than it was to create water, air and life.

"What, I wonder, does someone do with a small selfie in statue form?" Add a few toy dinosaurs and go all "Wash" on it. "Where does this business find its customers?" Curiosity takes care of that. Vanity picks up the spare.

~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/(your device here) or LemonJar or Settings > Privacy > Diagnostics & Usage > Diagnostic & Usage Data Gotta say, when working with Garmin to figure out how their iPhone app wasn't coping with iOS update changes (garbage collection issues) that first one was the most useful.

Your wife's iPhone needs to be looked at. Your 5S is streaming even higher res video to another device on a WiFi network (it couldn't be the home network - nah, impossible) yet here you are, putting a trend line on something with two data points. Yeah. That's how it's done.

I live in one of the states that makes it illegal to have a K&N or Injen cold air intake on my engine. That 17 states make my car illegal and the rest don't is silly. How am I supposed to do the Cannonball Run?

"cars have become too complex and dangerous for consumers and third parties to handle..." Ya don't say? The sucker is loaded with fuel that rates at dozen or more sticks of dynamite per gallon, spews poisonous gas while running properly, and doing the wrong thing to a MacPherson strut assembly can put a hole in something you like too much to have a hole in... Remember the original compleat idiot's guide - about the VW beetle? The story about the ponytail? CARS CAN BE DANGEROUS. They want to lock down the ECU, fine. Just leave the rest of it to anyone brave and sober enough to turn a wrench and think straight.
