But what struck me the most from my trip to the PPPL was not ...the Houston-style control center where dozens of (white, male) scientists crunched data and ran supercomputer simulations.

Not really
Some people live in areas where you can’t hail a cab from a street corner. If your phone dies, how are you going to get home? Especially if you don’t have any cash?

underwater, in a lead-4 triple bypass security RFID lock chamber
I am very excited for the future where I willingly put a microphone into every room, so that every waking second of my day is recorded and stored on a server somewhere, until a russian 17 year old hacks it. But it’s totally worth it because now I can adjust my thermostat without getting out of bed!

I’m no expert on cockpit doors, but I would be surprised if given enough time and resources, a terrorist group found a way to open the door reliably (consider how high security safe’s are regularly cracked).

They need to add many more rapiscan (rapey scan?) scanning machines to the airport and open up the lines. It doesn’t even matter if those machines are fakes and don’t actually scan for anything; they will serve their purpose well enough.

yeah, that might have been misleading in an engineering sense, I simply meant the map of the stars is reduced so that it can perfectly overlay a map of the cities. In other words, they are both the same scale
Yeah, the boy is a hero, until we reach that site, cut down the vegetation, discover the temple, uncover the shrine, and subsequently find a goa’uld vessel which we open without hesitation
I also had the same question. If I had to guess, if you laid out the constellations themselves on a 2d surface, you would have a map. The brightest stars on this map would correspond to cities on a 1:1 scaled map of Mayan cities.
