That’s a grievously misleading headline. Trump was most unjust in this action, as he is an every action.

Obviously, they were a big fan of The Simpsons before locking us into the cryo-tubes as the bombs dropped.

Most TV is shot on video, meaning that the image going into the camera isn’t recorded by the camera but rather it is converted into a high frequency signal and transmitted somewhere else.

“...Hicks also defended Trump’s use of Wikileaks material including emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016, saying it was ‘taking publicly available information to draw a contrast between the candidates,’...”

“...It’s got me wondering if maybe, just maybe, life wasn’t mostly black and white before World War II.”

Video is the conversion of visual images into an electric signal. That signal gets strung out (at very high speeds) and is used to ‘repaint’ the image at the receiver side, line by line in just fractions of a second, refreshed dozens of times per second...

“...It wasn’t long before it became clear what pieces of garage they were.”

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.

You’re the one who is mistaken. That trillion dollar figure is the projected cost of the program over fifty years. And that is more than just buying the airplanes and spare parts. It’s airman pay for work hours, flight pay for training, and even fuel prices.

“No puppet! No puppet! We’re President!”

Pretty sure they’re talking about this happening well below those figures, though.

... fifty years from now. 

Goes to show what you know. These days, a pilot who comes home during the night did so because of an abort.

We’ve exploited that alien technology as far as we can already. All we got was Silly String.

“...Not sure why it would make you nauseous.”

The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft were the most sluggish, fuel-thirsty 747s you would ever see— when an Orbiter was attached.

I wonder how far off we are from doing away with the flying boom. Any word on anyone trying to increase the flow rate of a probe-and-drogue setup so they can be used to top up heavies in a reasonable time?

Imagine a car mechanic gets conked on the head and wakes up in the year 1889 and has to tell someone the basic principles behind his usual work day. Those people would take one look at him and say “Wow, you must be some sort of scientist!”

That’s perfectly all right. Trump doesn’t need their donations, as he can simply siphon off government funds from various agencies to send his message and support his rallies. He’s got the Secret Service to protect him, so why bother with more security from local law? To protect the towns from his rallygoers? Bah! He’s…

On another forum I once created a thread titled “Why I will never be President...” to detail previous posts that were particular zingers which we would jokingly like never to see the light of day.
