The first link mentioned that the two crew ejected.

I just logged onto GooglePlay to look at this app. As of right now 25 5-star reviews and 2176 1-star reviews ( 8 in between). all 1-star reviews had similar language to the parent post (especially the "Nope!" part) and most were carbon copies of each other. On top of that, when I went back to the GooglePlay store, CurrentC was absent from my recent searches and it took until i typed the whole title back in for the app to reappear as a suggestion from the drop-sown menu.

I could care less about Target or Wal-Mart being charged by Visa, et.al. and I could care less about Google or Apple trying to make a pay-by-phone app, but this targeted and clearly choreographed backlash against CurrentC makes me wonder what's really going on here. I smell the smelly smell of something that smells smelly...

SJWs are the new, persistent, invasive, and incredibly annoying trolls (I don't doubt other trolls have stated mimicking their behavior just to annoy others, not to advocate the position). But I would still say people who d0x others and post SSNs, addresses, and spam death threats are the ultimate trolls. That said, SJWs could easily fall into that category, but it's not mutually exclusive to them.

I'd much rather have spider DNA inserted into goats than have people farming black widow spiders en masse for their webs.

Thanks, Rob!!

;-P

Ahh yes, YouTube user "ziv121213". He's world-renowned as an expert on the Israeli side of the debate and would never upload a false video just to troll people.

Still, not as cool as discovering the Jaguar Shark.

No, no, no. His stardom has finally reached the magnitude that it has become observable in outer space, by astrophysicists. Given his take on Shakespeare, I doubt he'd make a good astrophysicist.

Uhm, no fucking shit. Obligatory

I found this app randomly about a month back, and I would echo the same criticisms. Whenever I see a sentence that needs translating the includes The/A/One (using for French, btw) I pretty much shrug and give it a crap shoot. The andriod app does allow skipping the microphone sections, though. So I don't have to call attention to myself while using it on the job by saying "I am a girl who likes apples" and getting cockeyed looks.

All that said, the fact that this is free and I haven't hit a wall where it says "to continue you must pay X amount" is very, very cool. For that reason, I'd actually be more inclined to donate at least $5 (wait, you sure this guy isn't a marketing strategist?).

...disapproves of formic acid

Given this sentence

I'm thinking Anon was having too much fun writing the summary to give the title a second glance. Editors are notorious for making slight changes to titles as well (it's about the only thing they'll "correct").

Well, an aboriginal might not agree. But, they've only been there for tens of thousands of years.

I forgot to add this to a different reply of mine: more transparency from police should be a hot button issue in the U.S. I'd vote for just about anyone who campaigned for third-party investigations of police shootings. Looks like there's at least one bill, but not in my state.

I suppose given the sketchiness on some details, ("As officers closed in, the man pointed a handgun in the direction of at least one of the officers; one or more of the officers opened fire, killing the man, the police said.") and there's always a possibility of planted evidence you have a point. But cops aren't soldiers, (well, shouldn't be) so some confusion from the shootout is to be expected. On the other hand, the dead man's past record sort of seals the deal that this was legit.

I guess we're stuck at "news breaks fast, stories take years".
