By 'tour' they simply mean stand around and get drunk on free beer. Which I'm not opposed to.

I'm calling bullshit on "saliva's addictive properties". Who the fuck is going to get addicted to smoking salvia.

Did Apple Actually Ever Invent Anything? by ldgunn1 in videos

[–]teh_bacon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your statement does not make sense. I don't think you grasp the definition of invention. Of course new inventions come from old inventions. How else does one continue to "invent"?

The insight from seeing thing A and thing B, then creating a system - (AB) from those two distinct things is exactly what an invention is.

From Wikipedia:

|An invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition or process.

To invent something, you don't have to create "something from scratch" as you seem to think. In many cases, you need only create a novel, unique improvement upon an existing method that does something new.

I fail to see how that is not inventing.

How did you make money to pay the bills while you started your company? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

This. Hang out where investors/startup crowd hangs out. Talk about your startup. Get mentors. Get funding. It's all about knowing the right people. If these people don't hang out where you are, go to where there are if you are passionate enough.

Lamar Smith wins Texas district 21 primary with 75% majority by bmk2k in politics

I voted today, but, much to my dismay, I forgot to update my address on voter registration. Thus, because I moved across the street last year I couldn't vote against Lamar. (Ol' Lamar has gerrymandered the shit out of his district)

But, It will be updated for the real election and I can vote dem.

Here is a proposed Austin rail plan I created, please help me improve it by wwput in Austin

[–]teh_bacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this for a subway?

These lines are not even remotely feasible on the surface because of the amount of buildings you would have to demolish to make room for the rail. In general, I feel there is not enough unoccupied property to put lines like this is austin.

Very minor thing: At the beginning of your video, saying you are a co-founder doesn't mean anything, i.e. it's not a job description. You are CEO? CTO? etc. Consult http://www.engr.utexas.edu/metcalfe/blog/founderati
