Comment Among the stupid statements are yours. (Score 2) 232

How is the weather in St. Petersburg?

Qatar is giving the plane to the DoD.

For use by Trump.

So Trump will never own the plane, will likely never fly in,

Bullshit. If Trump says he flies in it, he flies in it, which he will.

it will be given to the Trump Presidential Library as a gift in the collection

Which Trump will then have use of by the agreement.

What is the threshold where Presidents need to get Congressional approval to accept a gift?

The constitution says that the president cannot accept any gift from another government, so anything would require approval.

It is clear to everyone that this is just a bribe to Trump. Your legal excuses do not fool anyone.

Comment Devil's advocate here (Score 1) 123

Many people are happy by this ruling because speakerphone annoys them.
But why? What if I am having a conversation with my friend Bob? He talks, I talk, you can hear us both. If I talk to my cell phone, and Bob talks out of my phone, you can hear us both. In both scenarios you hear two people talking.
What is it about cell speaker phones that makes you all so uptight?

The funny thing is that many objective metrics of productivity show that productivity is higher with remote work. Of course no one is saying that. They just make all sorts of bullshit hand-waving arguments about it.

Comment I have one (Score 1) 226

Last year I installed a GFCI breaker and 240V/20amp car charger. It did strike me as a bit redundant as the charger has a protection electronics on it already. In that time the breaker GFCI has accidentally tripped once, and I had to reset it. It was not inconvenient because the box is in my easily accessible laundry room, but I can see how it may be a hassle for others, particularly if they are in a rental and do not have access to the box.

This lack of insight and understanding is exactly why Democrats lost presidency, popular vote, senate, congress, and governors to Trump.

No, I think his understanding was pretty dead on. The reason that Democrats lost to Trump is because the American people are morons. For example, the point of this entire news story about Americans not trusting science.

Comment Yeah! no 6 ft! (Score 1) 250

We all know that you are no more likely to get a disease breathing with your nose stuck in someone else's mouth than if you stand 6 ft away from that person! That's pure logic. The 6 ft rule has no basis in reality. Get rid of the scientists who tell us that breathing other people's spew won't get us sick! /s

Comment Still need staff in the stores anyway (Score 1) 55

I went to one of these stores in an airport recently. Cameras all over. And they had to still have two people on staff to explain to people how it worked as they walked in.
Meanwhile a similar store farther down the concourse just had one lady standing at the cash register and nobody in India watching you.
