• Commented on Petsmart Tries To Sell You Something To Stop The Bleeding They Started
  @Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity: It's easier to get a dog or cat calm at home than in a new enviroment. This is actually not true for one of our cats. He's comfortable enough at home to scream, holler,...

• Commented on McDonald's Charges More For Sweet Tea With Anything Less Than A "Full" Cup Of Ice
  FFS, either way they're charging over a dollar for a few cents worth of product. If they're willing to pull crap like this on tea, I wonder what sort of corners they cut on important things (like, say, observing expiration...

  No. No it will not. @JoeTan: "You telling me that if I could get you 20-50K CASH and not pay a dime more a month you wouldn't take it?" Not if it means I have to pay for 30 years...

• Commented on FDA Warns Of Tendon-Rupturing Antibiotics
  @Juliekins: Meh, penicillin sucks anyway. Try being allergic to cephalosporins - the first thing doctors reach for to treat any sort of semi-serious infection is, you guessed it, a fluoroquinolone. Last time I took Levaquin the tendon-rupture thing was definitely...
• Commented on Chase Doesn't Encrypt Your Login Credentials?
  @neworiginals: It's bad form because it generates panic stories like this one (and calls from co-workers), and because it exposes you to possible (however improbable) attacks, as others have pointed out in this thread. As for "slow" encryption - what...
• Commented on 4 Waters Enhanced With 100% Hype
  @linus: $6/month? Where do you live? My minimum monthly water bill is $78 for 3,000 gallons (thank you small town water utility and your decades of gross mismanagement...) Still, at ~$0.03/gal, it's substantially cheaper than bottled......
• Commented on Wal-Mart Fails To Change Your Oil And Lies About It
  @bbvk05: You've never owned a Volkswagen, have you? :| According to VW (or maybe just my former shady-ass dealers in the Boston area), something like 0.9 quarts burned per 3000 miles is still within "acceptable tolerances"....
• Commented on Citigroup May Reinstate Universal Default
  I don't know why companies like Citi don't just start suing their customers to earn a living (see: RIAA) - it would certainly be more straightforward, and they wouldn't even have to pretend not to be a bunch of shitbags....

• Commented on Worst Company In America 2008 "Sweet 16": Countrywide VS United Health Care
  UHC, for the same reason I voted BSBC yesterday - I can get a new bank anytime, but I probably can't (reasonably) get a new health insurance company....
• Commented on Worst Company In America 2008 "Sweet 16": Bank of America VS Blue Cross Blue Shield
  This is a really tough one. Yes, BoA is a Really Crappy Company(R), but do they have legions of staff members devoted entirely to denying you life saving medical treatment? I think even BoA falls short in that area. Plus,...
• Commented on 25 Reasons Why Cable Technicians Hate You
  @Terd_Ferguson: I work with computers professionally, and have for a long long time now. Sure, for many people spyware and a crappy computer is going to be the issue. But for him to claim that because the signal is good,...

• Commented on ABC Tests The Emergency Alert System During The Last Minute Of Last Night's NBA Finals Game

• Commented on Pretty Graphs Track Drowning Dollar
  @Bladefist: I think Bush also deserves a measure of blame here, along with the Congress. We're sustaining the Iraq "war" by printing massive amounts of funny money. The rest of the world is smart enough to realize we can't really...

• Commented on Hybrids Better Values than Other Car Options
  If I'm reading the table correctly, the entire difference appears to be due to differences in resale value. So basically, unless you plan to sell the car after three years, the whole analysis is somewhat contrived. And honestly, you're on...
• Commented on
  This is retarded on so many levels. Safety hazards aside, you really don't want to make a habit of using old gas. I suppose they might have been rotating the oldest fuel out regularly - but honestly, given the story,...
• Commented on Sixteen Sweet Fuel-Sipping Cars
  @Mjolnir427: You ignore them because zero repair bills is not the same as zero repair COST, and certainly not the same as "reliability". I don't care if it's free to fix or not, if a car is likely to be...
