You do not know what you’re talking about. I deal with this kind of stuff all the time.

Not so much the bailouts (which kept them solvent until travel picked back up), but the fact that the Bush and Obama admins. explicitly encouraged mega mergers because 9/11 was *not* the first time the feds have bailed out the airline industry and they were getting tired of giving them checks every 10-20 years.

Nope. It’s 2017. Compression algorithms are more than good enough to scale things appropriately. In fact, that’s the problem with low-res images. I’m stuck with whatever method the image-maker decided. So if OP picked a lossy, blurry method, I can’t to recode the file into something better. The data is lost, the…

That’s all well and good, but doesn’t answer my counterargument. High resolutions can help one enjoy just about anything, including classic paintings.

Counterpoint: I’d enjoy that image of that painting if it was higher res. I wanna see brush strokes.

Trump and Hitler are nothing alike. Hitler wrote a whole book on killing off undesirables while Trump is functionally illiterate.

Call the office. Nobody gives a shit about emails.

1 Depends on why you’re not interested.

You can, actually, literally, censor yourself.

Yup. Roddenberry was an atheist. Captain Picard was almost certainly an atheist. Klingons believed they stormed their Olympus and killed their gods (which...literally...atheist; without gods, against gods, godless, did not believe in their gods).

Did you vote for Trump? No? Then maybe, just maybe, the OP wasn’t talking about your self-absorbed ass.

Nah, that kind of richness is for poor people. DJT will just point to the asset side of the books and say he owns $10 billion worth of stuff and ignore the $15 billion in debts. The base will buy that because 90% of Americans can’t figure out their own credit card statements.

Christ...Wonder Woman is still out in theaters. Give Jenkin’s agent time to work his/her stuff with the studio. There is zero actual need to have all the terms pinned down this early for a movie that might not drop this decade (given the ridiculous superhero movie pipeline is already filled to the brim.

I bet he pronounced “Evian” like he did [dramatic pause] “Aviato”.

Not sure about you, but when I sit down for some Netflix right now I’m trying to get away from America. In every possible sense.

I’m pretty sure we subscribe to the same newsletter. My co-parent...not so much. She’s more of the “run in screaming and crying like you just saw the news guy say the missiles are incoming and we all have 20 minutes before horrible death” school of parenting.

Best way to get relatives to remember that: start charging them like any other tech support would. Odds are, they’ll just stop calling you with their “problems”.

Are we talking about molten salt reactors or any reactor? Because even the EPR clusterfuck in France is going end up at “only” ten to eleven billion euros. And that program is 2 levels of clusterfuck beyond anything planned here or in Asia.

I said “at minimum”, as in “equal to or greater than”. I’m fully aware these things can have higher budgets, just as I’m aware nukes never even hit budgets.

Here’s the problem with any molten salt reactor:
