Comment Duh... (Score 1) 294

Doesn't surprise me at all, though no where on the page did it say you were donating to their party or even the candidate. People don't understand how to find an actual page and then get taken and complain?

As for the "professional opinion" of that professor. He goes on to say his bookkeeper made the donation. So what does that have to do with him if he never accessed the page to donate?

Comment Arthitis Remedy that works well in our clinic (Score 1) 122

Cherry Juice. Get the good natural stuff that's not full of processed sugar and drink a glass each day. At our Chiropractic clinic a lot of senior patients have gotten really good results with reduced arthritis pain in their joints from this.

Then there's also the geek project to solve the problem... build a small robot system together that he can use for soldering. Something that can tolerate slightly trembling hands while still offering solid and precise control. I imagine a simple robot arm that can attach a soldering arm, controlled by a joystick system with varying motor speed for more precise movements. Add in a large magnifying glass and an adaptable vice to hold the board and you have a precise soldering workshop.

Comment Seri cracks me up... (Score 5, Funny) 366

A couple of months back my family and I were having a debate whether falling thirty feet would break your legs or kill you, so we asked Siri. She responded back with a list of buildings we could jump off in our area over thirty feet high.

I'm all for scientific tests... but ouch.

Comment Re:Debt is the most prized American possession. (Score 2) 281

Expectation of shared childcare is a load of crap. Expectation of shared workload is what's expected out of sensible adults.

That means if the wife is spending all her day taking care of her children (by choice) then the man should be spending all of his day working. Same difference vice-verse for stay at home fathers.

If the couple wants to build a house for themselves, then the wife can easily watch the children while the husband works, or they can simply trade positions and he can watch them while she builds the house, or they can do it together.

When a couple wants to accomplish something like building a house, it's fully expected of both people to sacrifice and commit to the endeavor. The wife in the above example wasn't at home suffering, she was pulling her fair load so the husband could put his effort into building her a home.

Blah blah blah, one country is an ally, so we should turn on them in exchange for trying to win another country that's attempting to manipulate us. Yeah, smart choice there.

Your response also has nothing to do with NK, who would rather starve their citizens and grow opium than improve things for their own people.

This is exactly how I feel. I am more than willing to give up a bit of privacy for free quality products. I know exactly what I'm giving up, and frankly for the free products I'm more than willing to trade.

They can track my websites in exchange for a free product. It's my form of payment, I trade them information that advertisers are willing pay for the privilege of custom advertising to me.

Comment CenturyLink is terrible (Score 1) 396

Your problem is CenturyLink. They bought-out verizon at my parents home and became the only available provider. Though my parents pay for 12Mbps down, they get 2Mbps. We've seen 4 different techs come out 6 times and try and fix the problem. 1/2 the time they've come out, said they were gonna do some tests, and then left saying it's fixed. The latest tech actually ran a line across the neighbors grass and into their outlet. Needless to say, the problem isn't fixed, the solution is incredibly stupid, and I can't wait for the neighbors to start mowing soon and rip the wire apart.

Century link says if they can get my parents to 3Mbps then they are meeting their minimum standard for that package. They aren't willing to try and get even close to the 12 advertised. The problem is squarely with their equipment as previously my parents got 12 down perfectly fine when they were paying verizon.

If you can, run from CenturyLink.
