Guillotine. Make sure the guides are sufficiently greased and the blade exquisitely sharp, it will be over in a second or so.

If there's a question about the instance of pain as the blade slices through the neck, rub a numbing solution on the skin.

Anesthesia is essentially what is being done, only on a larger scale. The problem is the companies who make the drugs do not allow them to be used for executions.

As to pain and discomfort, the Constitution forbids it so no, you can't use a chainsaw.

There was one station I would listen to, the local rock station (yes, it played real rock, not that poser stuff) and as of late, it sounds like crap.

The only way I can describe what it now sounds like would be tinny and clipped. Songs which used to have a roundness to them sound horrible. It's as if the treble has been tripled and the bass halved. Reminds me of when my work went from analog phones to the "new and improved" digital phones. Immediately voices sounded off and messages and voicemail could and would be jittery.

Fortunately there are still a few stations to flip through, including NPR, but it's the only time I listen to the radio. Normally I just bring my cds to listen to.

to create self-powered cameras that can live on the internet of things.

Anyone who uses the term internet of things (IoC) when talking about a product should be shot on sight. Things DO NOT need to be connected to the internet.

If we can't secure the basic things already connected, important things such as power plants, traffic signals or government computers, wtf do you think will happen when crap like this is thrown in the mix?

If a photographer isn't holding their camera vertically, they shouldn't have a camera.

Go look at all those wonderful portrait pictures on Tumblr. What format are the vast majority in?

VERTICAL!

Fuck that. If phone makers are too incompetent to correctly add a camera which doesn't cut off the image, the fault is not with the user but with the technology.

The world does not exist solely in a horizontal plane.

So trespassing since you were uninvited?

And yes, people who put flyers on door knobs are trespassing.

Or the asshole cheats on her.

I really wish I could leave mine behind more often and not be labelled as antisocial.

It's not antisocial to not be on your phone. In fact, it's the antithesis of not being antisocial.

Imagine what would happen if people weren't on their phones every waking moment. They'd have to TALK to someone they met on the street. How weird is that?

How did you get a sense of superiority out of what I said?

If people are so addicted to social media that they can't conceive of someone not having an interest to use any of them, the problem doesn't lie with those who have made the choice not to put their private lives on display.

Would you have the same opinion of someone who said they don't have a computer at home because they don't need one? Would you consider them to be superior to you?

Just because someone gives a statement about not having an interest in something doesn't make them smug. If that were the case, everyone on the planet would be smug.

Whenever someone asks why you don't have a social media account, all you need to tell them is:

I'm not a narcissist.

You don't believe your life is anyone else's business, no need to show them pictures of your latest adventure, no need for gratification from the unwashed masses. You are who you are.

Imagine not needing to buy a car (Uber driverless anyone?)

So I have to wait for someone (something?) to pick me up? I can't just get in my own car and drive when I want to?

and only the truly well off will own their own, primarily to have a known nice clean vehicle.

Meaning more societal layering. "You don't have your own car? How quaint."

For some, that ride in to work would be work time,

Meaning working more for the same pay. Employers would be all for this.

Trucks could be scheduled to drive in non-rush hours.

You mean like many are already scheduled to run in non-rush hour times such as 4 AM?

Methinks you haven't thought through your ideas. Where may I subscribe to your newsletter?

to WallE as people become fatter and fatter from less physical activity. Why bother going outside when one can lie on their floaty chair and press a button?

Math can't be that logical if you can use imaginary and irrational numbers to solve a problem.

which often makes for horribly unintuitive or unnecessarily complex systems.

Indeed. Witness the unmitigated mess which are today's web pages, filled with mountains of complex code creating unintuitive navigation and unnecessarily complex layouts.

KISS has officially been abandoned in favor of crazy language tricks just because the programmer could.
