- Comment on Are we at a point in human history where we can get robotic limbs and other things to better our day to day lives? Like a robotic arm where I can pick up 100lbs with one arm and so forth? 1 hour ago:
100 lbs with one robotic arm? Can you currently carry 100 pounds on one side of your body? If not… uhh, having an arm attached to you that can carry 100 pounds will be meaningless. The REST of you has to have the strength to carry the arm and the 100 pounds.
Unless it’s like some exoskeleton armature you climb into.

This is EXACTLY it.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 1 day ago:
Ehhh, no. The millionaires right below them will erupt in a frenzy to take the top spot and assert control of as much as they can.
Say what you will, but those most vicious ones at the top spend a lot of energy keeping the ones who are just below them, in their places. I see that a ton of misery would spring loose as the multi-millionaires fight each other to get to the top.
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 2 days ago:
It is precisely why we are here at this point in time.
Watched it unfold over the past 15 years as my grandparents generation passed into memory - their actual experiences of WWII and the warnings for our country - and it’s now only in our memories of them and their stories… and it’s scary as fuck to see the kids - like at that kickboxing fight in Orlando that had 20-something idiots unfurling a Nazi flag.
Stupid fucks.
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 1 week ago:
Yup! The baer where I buy my coffee on occasion has their menus listed with two prices… The card prices are 4% higher. So an item that is priced at 7 bucks cash is listed as $7.28 for card.
Makes me so glad that I have never signed up for a card.
Over 60 with NO credit rating… delightful.

Insurers have never been “honest business”…
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 1 week ago:
…That’s customer service for ALL companies. Nothing works any more…
The insurance company that we use for our cars is delightful to deal with. I haven’t even had to wait long, just leave a call back number and get a response within 15 minutes. Then again, it’s a regional insurer, (Maine, NH and MAssachusetts) not a national one.
Funny as hell, as I just got a bulk mailer for Progressive Auto insurance and it was offering me coverage as low as 67 dollars a month for a basic liability policy… For one car.
::sighs:: My dear, sweet dudes at Progressive… I pay 740 bucks a year… for TWO cars.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 week ago:
Get a spring-loaded window curtain rod, and notch the end that goes against the glass, so it doesn’t slip. Throw on a shower curtain liner (they’re cheap) and call it a day.

Look at it this way… the band’s getting royalties.
Good ones.
- Comment on Is this true? 1 week ago:
Oh hell yes.
I’m playing Horizon Zero Dawn Complete (it includes the DLC) and as soon as I got to Daytower, I ran into a guy named Ohtur who mentioned The Cut… I pivoted and headed up there and by sneaking around everything with higher stats than I had, (which was almost everything) I managed to find resources that got me a wickedly powerful weapon. Game changer. Literally.
Being able to get to any part of the map and find it’s hidden goodies is amazing.

- Comment on google's getting pissy about using their shit while logged out 3 weeks ago:
That is a point you need to bring up in your official capacity with the 911 dispatch you work for. Tell them what is going on and ask for a system account to be set up for each agent so that it’s just a formal login that is tied to the job and nothing else.

Well, thankfully there aren’t that many flock cameras in the state. Even the cops up here are kinda “ehhhhh” on them.

- Comment on Today is my 25th birthday 5 weeks ago:
30s. Those were the fun years. Am 61 now and NGL, once you hit 50 and get gray and wrinkles… you find that people will give you even less shit. Which is amazing! Some say that it’s the aches and pains that come of age that suck the most, but I’ve always been a bit on the clumsy side with a high pain threshold, so it’s been a constant since I was a teenager.

- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 1 month ago:
Firefox and the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension.
Gets you past most of the paywalls. Thing is, sites like the NYT have plenty of advertising, so just going on the site gets them paid.
Unless you also add uBO.

- Comment on If the US Military can offer free money for college education..and is part of the government then why does the average Joe have to pay back a small student loan? 1 month ago:
Simplest answer… the average Joe doesn’t get blown up or shot at while on the job.
