one day there will be phone-to-desktop systems that are worth using but it's not going to be until well after stockholders shred the desktop pc market (re: what's happening with dell right now)

i don't think it will ever happen because why not just buy a cheap mini-desktop and wireless sync your files

is it more stupid to buy a dumb gadget or to donate less money but without even getting an actual hardware?

pfffttt getting the wifi to work on the unbuntu telephone is easy. even a simpleton can do it. you simply gksu gedit /etc/rc.local and fix it in there. if that doesn't work, you might need to sudo apt-get install wireless-tools hwinfo and then iwconfig and then hwinfo --netcard. using the info you get from that, it's a simple step to edit /etc/network/interfaces to add the appropriate information. then simply sudo rmod and sudo modprobe. then reboot. it's obvious. you must be stupid or something.

You know what people like spending money on? The new "organic" fad. Ever wanted to drink something that was organic? Well, look no further than drinking some ORGANIC WATER :what:

Ever wonder why electrical outlets (in the US) look so surprised? IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING SEX LOL SO WACKY

Not necessarily awful but this guy created an album while he was having brain surgery. That's kinda bad rear end.

You know what we need? More people spergin over a 20 year old video game. You know what else we need? Sperglords creating a fan made TV series based around said 20 year old video game

Also I'm pretty sure this breaks the ToS for kickstarter.

It was not enough to have one of the highest alkaline waters on the market. The partnership of the precious diamond enhanced water and the extensive filtration process makes Diamond Water unique.

clorox has been selling an even higher-alkaline beverage for years now, and the people who buy Diamond Water definitely need to start chugging some of that instead

a lot of fruit juice is concentrated anyway by removing the water, stored in freezers for literally years then reconsititued later. might aswell sell that waste water to rubes

the only way that this could possibly be justified, would be if they were processing waste fruit/veg slurry using surplus heat/energy from another process

the marketing would be tricky but it's been done plenty of times, people have no problems eating meat slurry, so why not drink the pure water produced by evaporation from mouldy old veg?

i got to laugh at a friend's husband the other day who busted that one out on me


once we were done laughing right into his face he got explained to that vaccines and 1st line antibiotics are both things the government forces pharma corps to produce in minimum quantities because they wouldn't otherwise due to no profitability

he was so mad and just doubled down and ruined the rest of dinner

gf's in med school so she was livid at this guy

also his wife is in a phd program for geology and they have a 1 year old so he basically made the whole room mad at him (he's a server at a fine dining restaurant with only a ged)


my friend calmed down a lot once my gf explained to her that you only need the consent of one parent to get things like shots and other stuff that's obviously in the child's interest


i honestly don't know how that topic never came up before they got married and had a kid but you definitely hafta lack self awareness if you're gonna start that argument with your scientist wife as a goddamn waiter

but after we left we both agreed that that's a perfectly divorceable position to take because jfc
