Comment Why do you need an employee to check IDs? (Score 1) 266

- Just put the alcohol into a mini refrigerated walk-in room that's behind a locked door. The door only opens for those who are over the drinking age... there, one employee position resolved. - create a greeting robot (screen with a human face) with preprogrammed messages and potentially preprogrammed responses to questions... there, the other employee position resolved.

"Climate scientists" (priesthood); if questioned they always cite their go to talking points (bible), many of which can be refuted; go against the alarmist orthodoxy and you'll lose colleagues and funding (excommunication); and al gore (he might as well be their high priest, even though he isn't a "climate scientist").

Comment Re: 2018 making up for it (Score 1, Troll) 187

I don't deny global climate change exists. It is debatable as to the overall implications as 1) the climate models are shit; 2) research funding is contingent on only believing in the gcc alarmist orthodoxy; 3) the "97% of scientists" quote is based on a narrowly defined survey - that one might say is faulty, bordering on dishonest, research; 4) a growing body of scientists across the spectrum are in disagreement with the gcc alarmist orthodoxy; 5) carbon dioxide is not the leading green house gas - it's water vapor.

Beyond the costs and regulations, which were initially implemented in order to help whiny cry babies like you net neutrality asshats, there's getting tied into the Internet itself; which, if you're too small, you have to pay to gain access, or you have to obtain some kind of mutual agreement from the big boys (that you helped make big btw, w/ all yo rules, regs, and req)... so all I'll say is pfft!
