“Fake Kirk”.

I thought Office 365 ran in a web browser?
- Comment on How much spacing while stopped at a red light? 1 week ago:
You should be able to see the ground under the back tires of the car in front of you.
- Comment on Date set for millions of phones across UK to receive emergency alert test 1 week ago:
Here’s hoping the UK does a better job with this than the US.
- Our emergency alerts go off far too often about things that aren’t emergencies.
- And when there is an emergency (like the floods in Texas this week) they don’t bother sending out an alert.
- And if they do bother, people don’t receive an alert because they’ve disabled them due to point 1.

Safety costs money.

We should be retaking driver tests every seven to ten years to keep our license.
Poorly designed roads, signage, and intersections cause a lot of accidents. Think on ramps that throw you into traffic, and off-ramps that want you to get over three lanes after exiting in order to turn right at your cross street.
Lack of traffic enforcement drives up insurance costs and reduces city revenues. Some states have cheaped out on the reflective paint used to stripe roads, so you can’t see lane dividers in the rain. More of that wonderful “deregulation” and people not wanting to pay taxes I guess.
It also doesn’t help that many states are getting rid of car inspections for some bizarre reason. Not great to avoid shot falling off of the car in front of you when you’re going 70 mph.

I wonder if this email could be legally binding document if somebody sued.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey working on Bluetooth messaging app, Bitchat 1 week ago:
Should’ve called it “Meshchat” or “Bluechat”.
- Comment on As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas; Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters’ ability to coordinate responses w/local emergency manager 1 week ago:
Lots of finger pointing going on. We will probably never know who dropped the ball. And that’s probably by design.
- Comment on US | Pentagon may put SpaceX at the center of a sensor-to-shooter targeting network 2 weeks ago:
The Space X with the exploding rockets and the Starlink satellites that fall out of the sky?
- Comment on Shell denies report of BP takeover talks 2 weeks ago:
Oh yay. More corporate consolidation. I’m sure that will bring prices down and help the environment. 🙄

How about we bring back Windows Phone first.

Looking forward to accidentally paying for someone else’s purchase at the next register over.
- Comment on Ancient trees are shipped to the UK, then burned – using billions in ‘green’ subsidies. Stop this madness now 3 weeks ago:
If you’re going to burn something for energy, burn garbage like non-recyclable plastic waste.

ABC is currently owned by Disney. Here’s hoping Moran lands somewhere else soon.
- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 5 weeks ago:
Contact some animal shelters too. There might be some of it they would take depending on the food and the animal.
- Comment on I guess they hate shoppers (context below) 5 weeks ago:
You could send a tip to an ADA lawyer. Or maybe report them for not meeting fire code.
- Comment on The Washington Post is planning to let amateur writers submit columns — with the help of AI 5 weeks ago:
Sounds like a great way to lose even more subscribers.

- Comment on What's your ideal TV series length and style? 1 month ago:
Short seasons, don’t bother me if they’re done well. My main complaint is having to wait more than a year for the next season. It’s especially ridiculous when that season is short. I shouldn’t have to wait three years for eight episodes. By then I have lost interest.
- Comment on ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ Renewed for Season 5 at FX as Spinoff ‘Necaxa’ With Eva Longoria Sets Summer Premiere 1 month ago:
People actually watch this?

Certainly looks like a federal agency with that dated wood paneling.

7 episodes every two years.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 1 month ago:
It could be better. I read the books and they’re rushing through the story at 90 miles an hour. They’re also overdoing the voiceovers and on screen displays to the point of annoyance. The “rise and fall of sanctuary moon” inserts are a hoot though.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 1 month ago:
So will Prime use this freed up budget to fund some decent programming, or will they just throw it at another Bezos money pit project like the Lord of The Rings tv show?
- Comment on Zach Braff Joins ‘Scrubs’ Reboot in Development at ABC 1 month ago:
Guess he and his Scrubs buddies got tired of doing T-Mobile commercials.
