Farmers lobbying for the right to fix own tractors
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/technology/article88653497.html-
@dolus I am not really sure how I feel about any of it. On one hand it is absolutely rediculous that farmers have to jump through hoops to continue their livelyhood when their machine breaks down. But on the other hand, if you were to replace the word "farmer" with "obnoxious starbucks sipping artist who uses a Mac"... ... ... I guess what I am saying is that I really like to see a cascade effect of such magnitude after farmers are allowed to repair their own machinery :D

Spunk still means what it did in the 60s, right?

@thelastgherkin In school I had to read books about people making deals with the devil and planing and committing a murder.

THE FIRST GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 REVIEW IS OUT
SURPRISE IT SUCKS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Pvk70Gx6c- dolus repeated this.
-
@critialcloudkicker hell no. It's filled with spoilers.
-
@zemichi I saw the "review" an now I am sad, shocked, and amazed. How could they ? Apparently the movie is literally soaked in sexism juices to the brim, which I can understand. Yes I said I can understand it, I do not approve of it one bit though. And that is not even taking into account that this is a beloved franchise. But now it has been "tainted" ( as in violently being sucked into ) a narrative of what I can only think of as some society statement that is going to make absolute zero sense a couple of years from now. And I would be able to forgive that if it did not make green-screen sins or make some cardinal movie logic errors. *sigh* right now I feel like SJW's have raped Bill Murray in the same fashion as that George Lucas raped that Storm Trooper in South Park.
-
@critialcloudkicker It's disappointing.
Fans deserve better than this.

Some people have too much money. I watch the SGDQ marathon and see that a lot of people donating over $100. $100 is quite a lot but still reasonable. Above $1000 is insane.
Saturday, 09-Jul-16 20:32:31 UTC from web-
@adiwan The laws and regulations regarding big money are somewhat scewed anyway. I dare to bet my hiney that any people who donate in amounts over the 750 Dollar ( ballpark figure ) exactly know what they are doing. Probably to the point where they know they will recieve more money back because they made this generous "donation". Examples are self-seeding and ball-funding, or even the fact that charity donations are taxfree.

Could someone explain to me how to stand when you do something like a chain punch ? ( as in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mangoB8YS4uV4 ) I just got the question and, ehmm, I assume it really doesn't matter as long as both your shoulders are equally near the punching bag.
Friday, 08-Jul-16 21:23:41 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker knowing how your legs is the main part of any martial art, for chain punching you keep your legs shoulder-wide with your main leg ever so slightly forward, keep your knees loose (not too bent not too straight) and don't lock them into position, if your think your knees should be different trust your instinct
this provides only stability, as your hips DO NOT move during this kind of punching (fast chain-punching isn't used in a real fight, it's used to train your arm speed and callous your hand to prevent hard punches from hurting you later on) -
@zennx I took a dive down memory lane and found some stuff from my Kuntao hokkien silat days and, yeah, I think I found one that would be good, ( and one backup in case it does not sit/fit well enough ). Also do not worry, it is only for training against a boxing-pillar. Originally not even for myself but someone else asked me after finding the boxing-pillar thingie in storage of the rec-room. But now that I have seen stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pZ8jSmNoYs I might just end up back into the art myself... dammit youtube, why are your recommended video's so viral for my brain ?

I just realized, it is a race. A race between what will be easier when I lose a limb in the future. Will science be able to just grow me a new one from an artificial womb ? Or will I get some super biomechanical interface and a swiss-army knife of a new appendage ?

Can anyone explain to me why old people like Bridge so much ?
Friday, 08-Jul-16 09:32:45 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin But I do not even know how to use such sorts of bridge
-
@adiwan It actually seems more interesting than Bridge, I'll give you that :)
-
@critialcloudkicker I think it's equally as boring as Bridge.

@ceruleanspark Yeah but I'm not an Ingress pro so
-
@ceruleanspark There are not many things I want to slap people for, let alone actually do it. But if there is any trigger that has the potential to cause me to do that, it is tinfoil GPS drifting or flatout hacking/spoofing in a competetive multiplayer game. ... Not so sure about the competativeness of Pokemon Go though.
-
@redenchilada Not with that attitude

Bullapple thing of the day: If your Superhero is going through alternate universes, and he encounters Superhero But Lizard, Superhero But Steampunk, Superhero But Sentient Rock Man, don't make literally one of them Superhero But Female. Ladies aren't a special type of man. The multiverse of all possibilities should have a 50:50 gender ratio.

@adiwan Are you sure you never played Mass Effect ? because that sounds really familliar
-
@critialcloudkicker I started playing Mass Effect 1 but I stopped shortly after because of the awful localization. I look for the UK version for the XBox 360 to get the better voice acting.

I believe today is the day where I get to sing the theme from "Team America" in the shower as loud as I can without giving a damn about what my neighbours think. Should I be confronted with my behaviour, I'll just blame America.

True story or not, this is both a cool campfire story that involves both " narcotics" and at the same time "wearing pants".

So some people get called a grapeing Weeb for knowing and replicating what Hanzo shouts when he starts his Ultimate in Overwatch.

I think I just solved Trump's wall problem. You see, when you make a 30 foot wall, you will create a market for 31 foot tall ladders and ropes. So if you were to create a 50 foot wall, yeah you can see where this goes. So what he needs to do is create a wall that reaches out into space. That way the Mexicans will eventually think "hey you know what, buying a ladder that reaches out into space is just as expensive as creating a rocket-ship into space" and we pretty much kickstarted space exploration. ... I am looking forward to my retirement party in 2060, in space-mexico at the space-beach with a space-tequila in my hand. Just gotta make sure to keep my space-gun on my for mexican-space-tentacles. ... Future is awesome :D

Sharing YouTube vids that make you feel bad is the equivallent of stepping on a Lego brick bare footed and then proceeding to share your experience by throwing Lego bricks in front of people's feet.

I like to think that I do not really have much buttons that people can press. However, when the local janitorial/RA staff fixes things like the tv. And does not tell anyone how it works right now, only to find out later that they couldn't get it to work at all and just shrugged and walked away. That is what grinds my gears

Hey, guess what? A month after the shocking revelation that was Hydra Cap, issue #2 has revealed that Kobik, under the influence of the Red Skull, implanted fake memories of Hydra indoctrination into Captain America's head! Who could have guessed!!!

anyone got any recommendations for password managers or other such protection?
Wednesday, 29-Jun-16 14:14:33 UTC from web-
@tiffany Write them down in a booklet. Optionally you can just add a little cypher ( or a tough one if you want to be fancy ).
Examples of a simple enough cypher that you can do by head is to just end all passwords with "@[number of characters in password before @ sign]" ... So the password to rainbowdash.net could be "thatrainbowhorse@16" but in your book you only jolt down "thatrainbowhorse" -

@hfaust What is love, baby don't hurt me... don't hurt me, no more...
Turns out the answer to the second question I had was defenetily true

@adiwan It looks like an USB powered arduino mini that is displaying active temperature readouts on a very small TFT display. Perfect for... ... ehh... Keeping tabs on your fridge.
-
@critialcloudkicker It's an Arduino Nano. I wanted to have something that is more accurate than those cheap digital thermometers from the dollar store. Also having a graph is a nice bonus. That display has also a SD card slot if I want to record the air humidity and temperature over a long time. The one we have in the house is very old and the springs for the needles are all rusty. They are as reliable as a dice roll.
