That is one of my problems with such recaptchas. The other problem, does a stop sign, yield sign, railroad crossing sign, etc, count as a street sign, or do they only mean signs with street names on them? I assume the former, and answer accordingly, but it always gives me a new set of images, with no indication on whether I passed or failed the previous test, so I have no fucking clue.

Seconded. I decided to checkout www.fourthirtysix.com because I was curious about that option, and was surprised to be redirected to studiofourthirtysix.com, which as you mentioned, appears to be some sort of jewelry website. It also surprises me that you seem to be the only other person wondering about it.

I forget who said it, but there is an argument for believing in God which says "if you don't believe, and He does exist, you lose everything. If you do believe, but He does not exist, then you've lost nothing. So you might as well believe."

The problem with that, is which God should you choose to believe in? Zeus? Odin? Amun-Ra? Someone else?

The reason I bring this up, is that cryogenics is a bit like that. If you choose to be frozen, and in the future they are able to revive you, you get a second lease on life. If it turns out that they cannot revive you, it's no different than if you hadn't gotten frozen. So if you can afford it, you might as well freeze yourself. The difference here, is there is no "but which God should I believe in?" problem. At least not as far as I can tell.

And now you have me wondering about something.

How does one balance the belief in an afterlife with the belief that, one day, a frozen body will possibly be revivable? If someone believes in an afterlife, then they believe in the existence of the soul. So what happens to your soul while you are frozen, and is this true for with all frozen bodies, or just ones that were frozen in a lab?

I'm not here to debate the existence of souls and afterlives (I believe in neither). I am simply curious how the people who do believe in such things view cryogenics.

Isn't that a bit like saying "I don't know why jumping out of an airplane without a parachute is such a big deal. It's not something anyone will suffer", just flipped a bit? Yes, the instant of death / falling may not hurt, but it's the dying / sudden stop at the end that I think most people are worried about how much suffering they will endure from that.

Hell, don't even tell them that 9 of your 10 fingers will delete data. And don't offer a finger. Let them grab your hand, single out a finger, and swipe it over the reader on your phone.

Personally, I'd configure it such that none of my fingers unlocks the phone, they should all delete data. But only after.. I don't know, lets say 3... successful reads of my fingerprint. That way I don't accidentally erase my data myself.

Two words: Plausible Deniability.

Now admittedly, I cannot think how that might benefit Amazon. But it could be a reason.

Free to the T-Mobile subscriber does not necessarily mean Domino's does not get paid for the pizza. It isn't clear whether or not T-Mobile was paying Domino's for each and every pizza.

US coins do not contain tin.

I thought the problem was the people foisting this irrational argument assume that you won't pick Zeus, or Odin, or Ra, or any of the many many many other gods that are not the particular god they think you should pick.

Usually, one wants to be the biggest in such tests. Here, presumably everyone wants to be the same.

Verizon charges me $5 per card.

It can be, but in this case, no it isn't.

If Karmashock wanted to shut them up, why would they say "Don't like it... vote to change it through the regular process and repeal the second amendment."? It seems clear to me that Karmashock isn't trying to shut anyone up. What they want, is to have a discussion where actual legal change can occur. Trying to ban guns without changing the constitution is unconstitutional.

And no, I abhor guns. But backdoors are wrong, whether they are for encryption, or law.

Correct.

Incorrect. You have the right to say something offensive, but they absolutely have the right to say "I'm offended by that". And of course, you have the right to respond back "tough shit". Because Freedom of Speech goes all ways.

And those church-ladies have every right to do that, because Freedom of Speech goes all ways. Allowing those people to say those things is not "tyranny of a very vocal minority", it is the very essence of Freedom of Speech.

My current electricity cost is about 14 cents per kWh.
My router draws 1.6 amps at 10 volts, for 16 watts of power.
Plugging those numbers into this calculator gives me a max monthly operating cost of about $1.64, or a yearly operating cost of less than $20. And that assumes that it is drawing the max amount of power 24/7.

10 cents per month is probably still under-estimating the actual average cost, and you certainly have the right to bitch about having to pay any amount, but I'm really curious as to why you made the accusation that you did.
