Yeah and you end up with gems of absolute stupidity like civil asset forfeiture. That and how eminent domain have been abused, the sickly complex income tax code are things the founding fathers didn't want for us. They protected us from them and in 250 years of wonderful erosion lawmakers have committed treason against the constitution under one guise or another. Creating powers that WILL always be abused without exception.

Re: UAVs in my airspace are allowed
Dear Amazon, I am (your name here) and I reside at (your address here). The airspace from ground level to 400 feet above ground level at this property is under my control as per FAA regulations and I would like to allow you to use my airspace to perform anti-gavron operations as you see fit to ensure that your deluxe drone delivery service remains available so that I and other fun loving futurists can enjoy getting things in under 30 minutes after ordering while gavron and their grumpy like shake fists at the sky.

Accordingly I am requesting you use my airspace as a hub for any drone deliveries with in a 50 mile radius and will even provide a landing/recharging pad on my roof for free access to prime membership. This is effective immediately upon your receipt of this notice.
Best wishes

Comment Give it a shot... (Score 1) 33

as with all artistic mediums it's fine to try different ways of doing things to see how they work. I'm fine if someone wants to make a feature length film vertically oriented...keep trying new things and see what you find. But remember quibi while doing this. They tried HARD to make that a thing. And it was NOT a thing. While there are many reasons it failed, vertical video is definitely one of them.

Comment Re:What does Chrome have to offer? (Score 1) 180

I went from IE to Firefox to Chrome briefly to Opera then back to Chrome and a little Edge but only for work. Firefox lost me when they lost control of memory management, Chrome is almost there which is why i considered Opera, but it didn't seem to be any better. To me browsers are so ubiquitous with everything they do that what do ANY of them do that is really unique? Nothing really. All I need from a browser is to not bloat memory (given that all else is equal). Anyway...

Comment Companies who scam and call it "marketing" (Score 2) 38

Now make cable companies and everyone else who does this shit also. I will never pay for Spectrum again but the idea that they can advertise 29.99 even as a promotional monthly rate when in reality there are fees that WILL be charged including "Broadcast TV Surcharge" fee which is nearly as much as the 29.99 by itself making it a minimum of $60 a month and then naturally you have to rent a cable box from them for $15 a month so it's $75 a month minimum for a $29.99 plan. Total bullcrap.

Comment Colorists... (Score 1) 88

there will always be the smoothbrains out there who let the bright/unnaturally colored thing sway them into buying it. I find it stupid, but consumers at large seem to vote with their wallet wanting the gross orange cheese or the drink that is neon. Which means until it's cost prohibitive to keep doing it, manufacturers will cater to the smoothbrains. They could stop producing all food coloring and I'd be happy.

How many people were witness to the speech either live or via video? I assume not many. Never heard of this award, nor do I care what it stands for unless it's Batman. The only reason I'm even seeing a headline about it is because of this "censorship". So De Niro should be thankful. While I should be, and am annoyed that I had to hear about this non-Batman related award show.
