🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD

No, that specific comment was focused on the goal of doing something enjoyable without spending more time travelling than you do enjoying the destination.
CoyneTheDup:
So then I take it he would have had to have had at least 14 hours doing something enjoyable in order for it to be worth it? Or did you have some other specific minimum in mind?

Unfortunately, the only "frat" you'd be getting into is the "I make sure the status quo persists".

I have been accused of many things, but never of upholding the status quo.

Bad idea: not wearing your body harness in a play where your character gets hung.

I'm not sure if this is the worst idea I've ever had but...
I'm honestly thinking of getting this. Its about £30 a month but I do read about two to three technical books a month so it would actually save the company money to get it for me.
I have subscribed to safari for many years. It seems worth it to me, though I do have a grandfather price.

Y'know, those pumps don't really work...

Politicians are usually really good at learning from past mistakes.
And of course it doesn't onebox.
Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick said he "deeply regretted" revealing a secret document to photographers when he arrived for a briefing at No 10

Or is this for the Good Ideas thread?

Saw the "malnourished sea lion pup" story on my local TV news website. Given that the restaurant's meals start at $28, the sea lion was probably malnourished because the waiters were ignoring her.

When I was in college, one of my friends took the deadpan serious, Devil's advocate, position that the Japanese only flew to Pearl Harbor to get hamburgers. He was doing a fairly good job of defending it, too, until I inserted, "If the Japanese flew to Pearl Harbor to get hamburgers, wouldn't you say their attempt bombed?"

I bought a screen protector for my work eink reader but I was fucking retarded(I picked the cheapest without reading it properly) and bought a mirror sheen one by accident. What in fucks name? Who thought a reflective surface on an eink reader would be a good idea. Even better a surface that makes it impossible to read it in any light. My eyes are shot from reading it in daylight for two minutes. Yes I'm TR. Luckily I expensed it!
-
TR:WTF: is that you buy the cheapest option and expense it instead of buying the most expensive one.

So... you can use your smartwatch to control your car? Sure, it's not a terribly good idea, but it's not terribly bad either...

"Oh, come on, dear, tell me you didn't forget to charge the key again..."
(Bad idea.)

Which one was that? I'm at work, but would know by name immediately.

"Slide up to unlock display" is not the same as "slide up to unlock car".
Does the thing still work as a key when turned off? That's the important question.
-
It's yet another "smart device" that's likely to fail or break, probably costs a few hundred to replace (and that's if they're still supported), and most likely has security vulnerabilities all around because car makers suck at software.
But on the plus side it can probably run doom.
-
I thought it was just the form factor of the thing that was a bad idea. It looks like you're supposed to slide your finger up between a pair of legs to unlock.

Youtube apparently took it down for being too sexual. I guess that reveals what the Youtube censoring team is into: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYivOM0GX9o

In another stunning case of our politicians being only vaguely familiar with that new-fangled electric light and thus having NFC about the internet we now have this idiocy coming soon:
I'm assuming ISPs will have to present a dialog box via captive portal that says 'Are you old enough to look at porn?', if you click No you get redirected to a blank page. No other way to do it, even wikipedia is full of naughty images.

Pretty sure they are wanting porn sites to do it in a verifiable way. So you will have to give your credit card details to ever porn site, who will have to store them and hand them over when the government asks for them (purely to prove they are doing age checks)...

The Register left a bit out, the Gov actually said:
the limit would not just apply to pornographic sites, but to any that "contain pornographic material" and would receive an 18 rating if they were formally classified.
I can't seem to find the actual bill online though. Either way this is useless puritanical rubbish.
