Chris Sevier, a lawyer who achieved some fame by suing Apple for his MacBook making it easy for him to become addicted to pron, has now upped the ante by demanding to intervene in a same-sex marriage case in Florida, claiming that true equal rights under the law requires he should be able to legally marry his MacBook: [^].
Sevier states in his motion before the court:
"Proponents of gay behavior had made the choice to have sex with members of the same sex, and due to the straight forward science of dopamine, they have become bonded together with a person of the same sex upon repeated orgasm, naturally developing a preference that they argue is worth having state recognition and ratification." Unfortunately, for aficionados of the surreal, the presiding Judge dismissed his motion.
The second page of the linked-to story has Sevier's complete motion in full, including sixteen examples Sevier claims illustrate marriage with ... errr ... alternatives. The third page has the Judge's dismissal.
I cannot imagine my computer would want to marry me: why should it ? It already owns me.
“I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.” Jorge Luis Borges

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

If I have to explain the difference you are more troubled than Chris Sevier.

I read that as "Client Server", being a lawyer, I suppose he is though!

Someone needs to just hit him in the head with a ball peen hammer.

It's a good job there's no such thing as a head peen hammer.

I do wonder how his computer has an orgasm so there can be mutual bonding. Me thinks the guy is a twat!

I think he has a bunch of screws missing in his head.
i.e. He is a stupid, dumb idiot.

He's confusing one PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) with another PDA (Public Display of Affection).

Had to send that off to my previous employ; a friend works the help desk there.

So print it; I did.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

One of my laments was our shift from CRT monitors for our systems to flat panels. With the CRT, at least there was the chance I could get one of the hardware weenies to hook the monitor's high voltage supply directly to the keyboard under software control.
User-friendly my ass. I want user-lethal.

After spending the better part of the last decade implementing e-recycle fees on new purchases and diverting plastic waste from being sent to china, all in the name of them not burning plastic - we turn around and burn plastic for sport.
Is burning plastic not the fastest way to trigger cancer?
If so why is 3D printing not considered a major health risk?

This may come as a surprise, but you're not supposed to burn your 3D printed creations.

I'm surprised... Wait, I'm not..

I was referring to how the items are created by heating the chemicals.

Oh you want to be serious, how boring
Well ok, ABS in particular does release some fumes (which you should not inhale too much) when you're printing with it, not as bad as burning it though.

Because not all plastics are the same.

Can you give examples of chemicals that are safe to breathe while being heated?

Dihydrogen Monoxide is pretty safe.
