F-35A is ~$90M and heading towards $80M. The other two models are in the $100-120M range.

I object to the assertion that all of the founding fathers thought the same thing or believed the same thing. Because the constitution is not some grand treatise handed down from on high by people smarter than we could ever hope to be. It’s a compromised, designed-by-committee, hodgepodge combining…

Nah. Healthcare still involves catastrophic events, one time costs far in excess of most people’s ability to plan for, with or without a UBI. Also expensive chromic diseases.

To be fair, shit in this country doesn’t change that much. Tax cuts didn’t buy growth during the Bush years and they won’t now. Yet that’s still a policy position of the GOP. Krugman could write nothing but zombienomics columns for the next 4 years and it will still be relevant because the administration is still…

Nope. The star of a movie that makes $200 million in pure profit (on top of making back a $300-400M budget) should not have to settle for a $500,000 salary cap. They made it fucking rain and deserve their piece of it. Where else should the money go? To line the already gilded pockets of the studio and distributor?

Yup. Hawking radiation.

As a man, I’m telling you to shut up. Not because you’re a man, but because your point is tedious.

If you’re writing Fortran77, you aren’t even using lower case letters...so sucks to be you?

What if the shop mandates variable width fonts?

Honestly, I get paid more than I deserve to work not very hard for not many hours.

That’s why tabs are better, because you can (with a single IDE setting) set however many spaces you want and it will apply instantly to all code you will ever open without having to alter or rev it.

Spectrum licenses also serve a public service, but that doesn’t stop the FCC from auctioning them off at market rates. No reason why these can’t be auctioned to the highest bidder as well.

I object to the idea that money flows from confidence. It’s usually the other way around. Tons of wealthy people are downright neurotic (and *that* is what drives them) until they get “fuck you” rich.

CS (Computer Science) guy asks question.

You forgot one more parallel: just like America, Vulcan doesn’t have a head anymore.

Of course there’s a third option: Trump isn’t going senile. He simply was this dumb is whole life. He’s still the one in charge because A) he tends to hire other idiots B) he’s mercurial enough to fire anyone on a whim, especially if they challenge his fragile ego.

TBH, the one that’s going to save us from Trump...is actually Trump.

Because nothing, NOTHING on social media (or the Internet in general) is actually private.

Isn’t saying “the n-word” instead of the n-word...I don’t know...infantile? We all know what word is being talked about. What’s the point of hiding it? Legit question. I don’t claim sole (or any) authority on this subject, and won’t tell you how to think about it. I am curious *what* you think about it.
