- Comment on Thanks I'd rather my beer stay analogue 1 week ago:
“Not bad.” He burped, burped again. “Fizzy, though?”
“Because it’s fast acting. It was ditch water an hour ago. We sieved it, brought it up to room temp, dumped in the culture. It’s live, too—add some precursor, it’ll come back. Survives in your urine. Just save some, you want to make more.”
“Communist beer?” Hubert, Etc said. The best bon mot he could scrounge.
He was better when he had time to think.
“Nazdarovya.” She clicked her cup against his and drained it, loosing a bone rattling belch when she finished. She gave her chest a thump and scared out smaller burps, refilled the glass.
“If it comes out in pee,” Hubert, Etc said, “what happens if someone adds the precursor to the sewers? Will it turn to beer?”
She gave him a look of adolescent scorn. “That would be stupid. Once it’s diluted it can’t metabolize precursor. Flush and it’s just pee. The critters die in an hour or two, so a latrine won’t turn into a reservoir of long lived existential threats to the water supply. It’s just beer.” Burp. “Fizzy beer.”
Hubert, Etc sipped. It was really good. Didn’t taste like piss at all. “All beer is rented, right?” he said.
“Most beer is rented. This is free. You know: ‘free as in free beer.’” She drank half the cup, spilling into her beard. It beaded on the crinkly refugee stuff. “You don’t come to a lot of Communist parties.”

- Comment on President Trump calls on Intel CEO to resign 2 weeks ago:
Jimmy… Intel, has been an embarrassment to this great company. People are saying, folks are, everyone is saying he’s just, the worst. A travesty. Of the highest order. It’s as if he was trying to push the market under. Like a. Well I should, people are saying I should ask him to step down but to them I say I won’t I might suggest it, humbly, in the press. But I won’t ask him to. He will though. We’ve spoken and he told me "Mr. President Mr. president, what can I do and I tell him you got a move the supply chain out of Taiwan. But he doesn’t understand that so he won’t.

- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 1 month ago:
I had a setup for fromsoft games that activated the gyro when I touched the track pad. So I could swipe the pad for fast camera turns and use the gyro for fine aim. My steam controllers battery terminals were both damaged by cell bursts though. I miss the camera agility now.

- Comment on TSA now offers you a choice 5 months ago:
That the security changes after 9/11 weren’t intended to reduce civilian casualties but to limit the ability to kill or maim elected officials and members of the oligarchy or damage federal property and corporate architecture.
If isis employed the same level of planning on an attack on the security line they would likely make 9/11 numbers. That’s without the investment of tickets of flight schools etc.
And that’s not even considering simultaneous attacks at different airports.
