Comment Playing with things we dont understand (Score 3, Insightful) 32

Playing with things we dont understand. I am flooded with visions of foot xray machines being useful, asbestos not catching fire, uranium paint glowing not being any problem, heavy lead making gasoline octane ratings higher....

So many useful things here people. Did you know if you take small electric shocks across your temple your vision flickers! Just touch the metal radiator at the back of the classroom that is ungrounded for some reason, then touch your temple. Everyone tried it. I knew better.

Comment Fuck this guy (Score 2) 221

Seriously fuck this guy. People are struggling because Ford wonâ(TM)t sell actual competitive vehicles like those overseas.

Where is the American version of the Ford Troller T4 with a manual 6 speed transmission and diesel engine that can actually get decent fuel economy?

Most hilarious is the small truck we wanted simply being the same F150 size as years ago and only available with thirsty turbo 2.3 that is a detuned 350hp race engine.

Where the hell is the 1.0 manual transmission 1900lb car that gets 60mpg on gasoline? Same car with a 1.5 turbo diesel would get 70mpg+.

People are hurting and want cheap fuel costs. You deny them that with jokes of small vehicles. Your same platform in the VW Amarok is so much more attractive with a manual and tdi engine compared to the automatic gas ranger.

Seriously not a single thing you make is cool anymore.

Comment Weird to respond with a bunch of jargon (Score 1) 41

I find it strange to respond with a bunch of jargon very full of corporate lingo to somebody trying to burn your house down because they hate corporatism.

So just respond with how you will be increasing your synergy and bringing together the holistic approach of a unified team for great success.

His reply was so lacking in humanity as to be almost laughably a mock reply. The guy just doesnâ(TM)t get it. He is applying extra synergy donâ(TM)t you see this fixes everything?

Comment Other Dimensions (Score 2) 57

I feel the vacuum producing particles from nothing is from there being another dimension at play that we cannot observe. This other dimension similar to a 4th spacial dimension would be empty until something in that dimension passed near the vacuum upon which we would observe it as suddenly appearing.

The extra stuff about inserting lots of energy is simply due to interactions with that 4th dimension making it more disturbed thus raising the change of a particle in that dimension moving into the vacuum.

I think this is just confirming a 4th spacial dimension that we cannot directly observe.

I am not a fan of prediction markets myself, but I am extremely happy to see them win this case.

If this is a free country, then let people spend their money how they want. Everyone with a small brain who doesnt like something gets their little five seconds of trying to ban it.

Our society has turned into a bunch of little nitpicking nannies. No different than HOAs screw these controlling Bettys.

They accidentally messed up one time. In 2000 Honda made the 1st gen Insight. A car with a manual transmission made entirely out of aluminum and will never rust. 68mpg city 74mpg highway right on the factory sticker.

I average north of 60mpg daily driven year round in mine and 26years old yet looks brand new because aluminum doesnâ(TM)t rust.

You just care that the money goes to the rich guys spoiled kid from the Ford family who never works and gets DUIs yet magically runs marketing years later. You want them to get the money not the rich Chinese spoiled kid who never works and will get DUIs and somehow still rise in the company.

Neither case involves normal Americans getting money. No they are the ones cared so much for that they are restricted from buying the cheap affordable car they need. To you they should walk and suffer more right?

Comment Office sports betting was my favorite example (Score 3, Informative) 57

Office sports betting is illegal yet at every big company I worked for these betting sheets went around every season with management and the rest distributing them. This was my favorite example of how white collar crime is treated compared to blue collar.

At every level the people who should stop it instead felt it was a harmless office game and thus not worthy of any application of the rules. One dude was dropping over a grand on these while his kids went without coats. Like a closeted gambler and he was brought right into this as if sanctioned by the company.

Yet in other cases petty offenses of lameness would be enforced because âoeit is the law and itâ(TM)s out of my handsâ.

Watching them sports bet on company time and passing betting squares around conference rooms told me all I needed to know about fairness.

Comment Slowly restricting who can be a developer (Score 3, Insightful) 53

Just another screw in the slow eventual requirement to beg the government to be a developer. This whole wild west of people using free speech to write their own applications to represent their own interests or bypass monetized-locked-down functionality by writing their own just couldn't last for long.

First it was just to sell stuff "for tax reasons". Then the free apps got the same rules, now side-loading is getting the same rules.... Eventually I expect to be in breach of some law just by having a compiler and the skills to use it.

How DARE I right....
