- Comment on USA President term limits 2 days ago:
I think it’s technically written as 10 years. If a vice president replaced the president, he could serve 2 more terms as long as he only replaced the president for 2 years. If he served out more than 2 years, he could only be president for 1 additional term.
- Comment on In the event you believe a contract killer is in breach of contract, who adjudicates? 5 days ago:
There’s a website set up by a white-hat hacker to solicit work as a network penetrator. It has some odd name that’s assassin related (contractkiller.com or something similar, I can’t remember offhand). He set it up, and forgot about it. When he went back to it, a lot of the messages were people asking him to kill someone.
He sent all the info to the police, and left the website up. Now it’s just a honeypot for people trying to have someone killed. I visited it a while ago, it’s very tongue-in-cheek. But people are stupid and willing to believe anything.
- Comment on New Godzilla Movie in the Works from 'Godzilla Minus One' Director 2 weeks ago:
Super tired of the American Godzilla thing. Japanese Godzilla is back to basics with an uncontrollable monster. But when they eventually cycle back to the campy, flying-drop-kick Godzilla, I’ll tap out of those too.

My first car had a cassette storage tray on the transmission hump. I made a mount for my portable CD that fit there, and ran the adapter wire underneath the dash. So fly…

I love fish sticks. Put them between a couple of buns, that’s a meal!
- Comment on Do drivers in the USA have to yield to alien UFO's? 5 weeks ago:
One incidental purpose of the Interstate Highway System is as emergency landing strips. But a VTOL craft should be able to make use of even the roughest roadways in the event of an emergency. Activate your hazards to alert the craft and any surrounding drivers of extraordinary circumstances.
Be prepared to render aid as necessary.

Not really a secret, it’s yet another military base. Probably used for enhanced interrogation™ during the Eternity War.
- Comment on Why is space 2 dimensional? 1 month ago:
The system starts out as a big cloud of debris orbiting a central point. Each particle is orbiting in its own way, there isn’t any organization. Since there is no organization, most of these particles are going to bump into each other. This changes the speed and direction of the particles, some of them will clump together and most of them ending up gathered at the center of gravity of the entire system. This eventually gets large enough to become your star.
As the remaining particles become clumped together into larger items they will begin exerting gravitational pull on other objects. One plane of orbit will become dominant, and the remaining clumps will gradually settle down into their orbits, in the same general plane, in the same direction. Those that don’t will have their orbital speed reduced enough that the object ends up gathered into the center.
- Comment on Where do most of the famous musicians keep their musical instruments? 1 month ago:
The only reason Tom Petty was in the Wilburys was that George Harrison left his guitar in Petty’s studio, and had to go get it. He brought Petty back with him.
I’m going to say “What is Tom Petty’s studio?”

If Trump is elected, not only will the US continue to arm Israel, but also pressure other countries to arm Israel?

Seriously? It happened to someone I used to work with (last November). Except they laid her off while she was on maternity leave.
- Comment on Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance? 3 months ago:
Because the American system provides for a rich ecosystem of middlemen and lobbyists. If we switch to Universal Healthcare, what will they do? Code?

Until you think about Dance Party planet and how it was destroyed.
Once it was over, I had the feeling Disney only made it so they had a place to put the after-credits scene.

I can’t wait until holographic storage comes in spheres, and you have to bring it to an old Gypsy woman if you forget the encryption key.

I’m sure ocean windfarms are somehow to blame.
- Comment on FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register 6 months ago:
I’ve already had this argument with people I work with. It doesn’t matter if a non-compete is enforceable or not. They’re meant to demoralize and demotivate employees so they stay with the company at low pay. Someone that has just lost their job isn’t going to risk a potentially life-destroying lawsuit.
I know they would sue, because the process is the goal, and they have deeper pockets than I do.
- Comment on FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register 6 months ago:
The company I work for lost a MAJOR customer last fall. Management panicked, and rushed everyone to sign a non-compete agreement. Only after getting all the agreements signed did they let everyone know what had happened, and that there would be massive layoffs.
Fucking psychos had just gone through a huge hiring phase. Some new employees had only been there a matter of months before finding out they would lose their job, and wouldn’t be able to get a new one in the same industry unless they waited two years.
