has yet to reach 1965 levels of space travel technology.

To be fair, NASA has been moving backwards in space travel technology since 1972.

By the time it'll matter, Teslas will probably be the luxury option for self-driving car rides around town. Why own one, and pay for all the maintenance, when it appears when you need it and doesn't when you...don't?

(some might say their phones are contributing to cancer)

No, no, and no. Not only did that "one major study" that supposedly proved it have all sorts of problems, but a much longer, human study found the exact opposite to all those years of supposition. Cell phones don't cause any more cancer than your car radio.

Well, I'm guessing that's great, but unhelpful, considering Apple neither makes nor assembles the batteries for their hardware in the US. Now, when it comes to the carpeting, wood, plastics, clothes and electrical wiring/hardware in their headquarters and other such offices, I'm guessing there's a different story.

Better than a boot loop.

As much as I agree that Amazon is looking to cheap out on benefits for these groups eventually, calling someone shills because they point out your error makes your comment entirely laughable.

Not sure it's possible to take Walmart work home with you. At least not the jobs they offer at part time hours. Management at store level and above is salaried.

Hourly is hourly. You don't pay them enough to care beyond their shift time. If you want workers who are dedicated beyond their scheduled time, you have to pay a salary and give them real benefits.

I thought some of W's more flippant soundbites were more like "If you're not with us, you're against us." or "Mission Accomplished."

My biggest problem with running debit is the liability. With CC, it's not on me if someone clones my card and uses it. With debit, if they clone my card (and likely have a pin reader camera or method to find my pin), they've just stolen everything they need to 1. make purchases, 2. withdraw from an ATM, 3. steal all my money. With CC, getting it resolved is a chargeback process, which can sometimes even happen automatically if the CC company notices strange purchases. If someone empties my bank account, going to the FDIC for fraud is going to take an investigation of months/years before I see a dime.

I know which one I still feel is safer.

It's up to $50 in some retail stores. Which scares the hell out of me. If I was someone who stole a credit card, I'd go around making $49 purchases with their card to escape notice.

This is the real news, right? "Hacker makes monumental achievement, has it stolen by shitty friend!"

You can't prove Godwin's Law by a single occurrence.

Yes, and after the NSA hacking was revealed, Merkel went back in time to a year before she became Chancellor and made sure that events would line up for your post to be true.

Which is exactly why Donald Trump, someone who has held no political office and leans left more than he leans right, is the presumptive Republican nominee, yes.
