Replying for a friend - why aren’t you downloading the video? He says there are numerous apps to capture streamed vide.

The single biggest performance gain I have ever experienced since back when you could buy a processor that was twice as fast as the old processor came about when I turned Windows Defender on and uninstalled McAfee.

Assuming no negative side effects, would I edit out a genetic disease in my children? Absolutely. In fact, I’d personally view it as unethical to intentionally allow my children to be born with a curable disease.

The unions didn’t kill the auto industry in Detroit - although they certainly weren’t saints. Poor management did more damage than the unions could ever have done.

Very carefully.

4 year signal travel time each way is going to make browsing the alien PornHub REALLY frustrating.

The spacecraft turns into many specks of dust itself.

We need A new fighter aircraft. We also need A new light attack aircraft. That doesn’t mean we need the F-35.

Yes, older platforms had issues. The F-15 started off as an impressively mediocre platform in terms of capability. Numerous upgrades along the way turned it into an excellent aircraft.

To pick a nit, the U.S. military is not particularly interested in creating more B83 bombs, except possibly to replace current ones 1:1. Sure, 1.2 Mt sounds real scary, but they’re just not worth it. We built the B83 and other multi-megaton warheads back when the thinking was bigger = better.

I say you take off and nuke it from orbit - it’s the only way to be sure.

And when I follow my normal routine of buying a computer, wiping it, and doing a clean reinstall of the OS the filter will be gone, and I’ll still have my $20.

Dear lord...reading this useless rant cost me two minutes of my life that I’ll never get back.

If you’re complaining about being cold at work and you’re wearing a thin blouse, a dress, or some other warm-weather clothing, I’ve no sympathy for you. Especially during the winter.

The Electoral College exists because the people who wrote the Constitution, by and large, did not trust the hoi polloi and they did not want the president directly elected by the great unwashed. A great many of the founders were elitists every bit as much as the TGOP says Hillary Clinton is.

As I recall, the recorders are designed to be watertight down to 20,000 feet. The depth of the suspected crash area, IIRC, is no greater than 13,000 feet. Unless the crash caused a breach of the shell surrounding the components, the data should remain uncorrupted for several years - however few or many it takes for…

As VLGI noted - big ocean, little plane.

I’ve had the Soylent powder. It tasted a bit like cake batter. Personally, I liked to add a bit of banana and peanut butter to the mixture and put it in a blender. Occasionally I’d change it up with homemade chocolate syrup (I could make it less sweet than Hershey’s) and a banana, or chocolate syrup and peanut butter.
