    Solution to homeless - SF tech execs fund measure to ban them

    Hopefully one of them stabs you dead in the street for your wallet so they get a few hot meals and maybe a shower and we get a world with one less person like you. Please find a way to express yourself that does not call for the death of other members. admin allisolm

    How to make face less red (boozing related)

    Alcohol has a vasodilatory effect. Try using a CNS stimulant the next time you drink (I myself prefer dextroamphetamine or cathinone, ymmv); the vasoconstrictive effects will counteract this. You'll also have a lot more fun. :P I would recommend against combining cocaine and ethanol, however...

    What kind of cable do you use to connect your video card to your monitor?

    DVI. Bought a cheapo 1080p panel (no HDMI or display port connectors) to tide me over until 4K displays were mature several years ago.

    The liberals $43 billion train to no where...

    Still doesn't hold a candle to the conservative's 2 trillion dollar war to destabilize the middle east. As others have said, at least we get some infrastructure out of this, as opposed to hundreds of thousands of dead bodies. The US rail infastructure is embarrassingly obsolete as well...

    Trump's cultural intolerance in a nutshell

    I was going to vote for Sanders because I thought that even though I think a lot of his politics are crap he at least honestly believed what he was saying and I agreed with the thrust of his direction. I don't get that impression from either current candidates. Both really came off as...

    So this is why gun(s) is/are bad? One woman vs. three male intruders..Video of the melee inside

    TBH the way I feel about this is that even if guns don't make me safer I would still want one around depending on where I'm living. Even if it makes me statistically unsafer. Where I live now I don't even worry about leaving hundreds of dollars worth of stuff in my car and freaking out if I...

    Stop saying Islam is a religion of peace: Taslima Nasreen

    WORSHIP ME OR I'LL SEND YOU TO A TERRIBLE PLACE WHERE YOU'LL BE TORTURED FOREVER. <- When humans say stuff like this we generally (or used to at least) put them in the funny farm. What a nice god. Makes you think Lucifer might have been in the right, but history is written by the victors.

    How old do you suppose this planet really is?

    I think your problem is assuming there's steady population growth over time; that's a very recent phenomenon. If you read just a high level overview of world history you'll notice that there are massive human die offs in the past for various reasons that have only been overcome through improved...

    How old do you suppose this planet really is?

    Until you factor in war, disease, famine, drought, rapid local ecological change, lack of industrialization to actually utilize those resources etc. all that fun stuff.

    How old do you suppose this planet really is?

    I like this answer because it's snarky yet still technically correct.

    How is Zen performance looking?

    IPC looks competitive with broadwell at least. So whether or not Zen is a competitive design will really come down to price, clocks and power usage in that order (all unknown at this point).

    Hillary faints @ ground zero?

    I feel bad for people with health problems. :( This forum really sucks sometimes. Politics brings out the absolute worst in people these days.

    ISIS Kills Children With Chainsaws

    Most buddhists are peacefull people I'd agree. But there's violent assholes in every religion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_violence
