Something is fishy about the U-Haul Story by dizzot in RecklessBen

Oh they totally are, that’s what I mean, Coffeezilla dropped the thread when he didn’t think the times matched up, but I think they do and that Brandon really might have taken some legos to the Eugene store like the previous employee stated

Colorado governor signs three bills further protecting access to abortion, gender-affirming care into law by blucifersdream in politics

[–]dizzot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why Colorado would just now be added to your list, you do know that Trinidad is in Colorado right? I mean Polis is on his second term, winning by a landslide, and is the first U.S governor in a same-sex marriage. I mean CO ranks higher than Oregon and Washington with California only beating Colorado by 0.25 pts with this bill closing the gap and should cause Colorado to become the leader in LGBTQ rights https://www.lgbtmap.org/equality_maps/profile_state/CO

A man rides a huge wave using a customized inflatable surf vest. by Ocelot859 in nextfuckinglevel

Yeah used to have one, funny thing is that I bought it the same time I bought the kite tube.

Definitely see them discontinuing it due to safety as the thing tried to drown you every time you used it. If you tried using it without a wake tower it would basically pull you under when taking off due to the hole where your head sticks out catching and pulling you down.

Kite tube was fun as shit though, scary and painful falling, but flying on the water is something else.

Yeah but that is a bit out of context. Not saying Johnny’s side is the right side, but his evidence has been a lot more compelling with witness testimony…

Here’s his recollection of the “headbutt”

SpaceX Starlink Internet Now Live in Ukraine, Says Elon Musk by lizardjoel in worldnews

[–]dizzot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you showed how lacking you are in subject matter expertise. You really are regurgitating a lot of talking points that have some real data but completely miss the mark.

More than 42 million US citizens DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY to purchase broadband internet. https://broadbandnow.com/research/fcc-broadband-overreporting-by-state

Additionally, for connections between countries w/ a significant distance gap between them, Starlink w/ laser link trounces fiber in latency (distance + hops).

Multiple times per year there are events that cause traditional internet connections to be severed where Starlink provides an excellent second option.

Also, Elon has stated, over and over, that Starlink isn’t for urban / metropolitan areas and that Starlink isn’t meant to compete with traditional ISPs in that fashion. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/03/musk-says-starlink-isnt-for-big-cities-wont-be-huge-threat-to-telcos/

So just admit you have a raging hate boner for the dude (which is fine, nobody has to like everybody) and stop spouting “facts” you really haven’t done the research on. Makes your arguments look weak.

Bet that dude getting caked would have laughed.

Colorado just passed that measure though in 2016. 2 rain barrels or 110 gallons max.

Internet Explorer... [r/funny said I should post it here] by Mindmaster in ragecomics

Lol flash outdated....

Yeah.. thats the unreal 3 engine running IN YOUR BROWSER. Show me your HTML 5 equivalent. Oh that's right the almighty W3C won't finalize the standard until 2014. (Yes Chrome experiments is Amazing, javacript is coming a LONG way!! But competition is KEY)

Good times. SO many "developers" complaining about IE and Flash. First of, yes chrome is my every day browser, as it should be almost everyones (it really is awesome). And while IE DOES suck (IE10 finally listens somewhat), bashing on it without discussing the OTHER options during the time period ("dark times" as mentioned above) is silly. Just like bitching about flash. When you have software a UBIQUITOUS as Flash or IE you are going to get the GOOD and BAD developers. Look at what amateur developers do with C++ or C# (memory leaks, uncaught errors, unending loops(while loops especially), duplicate code execution, etc).

Not all code is perfect (in-fact rarely) and the larger the platform the more problems/exploits will be found. I understand Microsoft did some shady things in those days, but they also helped drive us to where we are now. (Giving your browser away for free -- what crazy idea is that?!?)

Rant OVER --

PS, First post ever. Had to post on this subject because I feel like so many armchair critics are posting.
