More power to government funded privatization of space flight or electric cars. My first comment was about the difference in publicity. I don’t care what was in the rocket. The US is polarized and this affects science funding.

I understand the marketing aspect and understand it drives interest. Thanks for the details on the goal of the test. The payload content wasn’t important which is why it could have been something else.

I would like to take credit for that thought but you read your own good idea into my words. It made me think though and first reaction was no. Like feature creep in software the purpose of the experiment was the boosters coming back so additional requirements could be a problem.

Finally a comment about foreign trolling. Not every bot is Russian. Racists get out of trouble by saying a black guy did it. Right now everyone screaming Russia (wolf) might think that the Chinese, Koreans, and Indians all own computers. And have the exact same motivation to cause discord. Maybe Jack Ma wants to hurt…

The instruments that survive these journeys and last this long are amazing. I get mad when putting your car as a payload is bigger news than this. I do understand the need for publicity.

I went offline too long. I’m just a grey. I got caught by your choice of “good faith”. I am not even questioning your sincerity. Many people believe that the increasing steps will occur. I don’t think so.

Also a real question: can a “slippery slope” argument ever be made in good faith? If you ignore the issue at hand and refuse to address it by citing one of many future theoretical possibilities that, to me, is pretty much the definition of bad faith. 

Asian countries can be racist on their own. Some Chinese don’t even like white guys, hi father-in-law. One thing I can guarantee not a single southern or eastern Asian I have met needed to learn racism from me.

Full hearts, clear minds, can’t lose. Did he date Jules or the female student that wanted to be a coach?

I’m a terrible commenter. You are correct and to crib one of Tom McKay’s replies.

My analogy went to Perdue-Dr-Corner Dealer. How do you trust any of the players in manufacturing, regulatory captured sales, and the bad actors?

Because the patches they already pushed caused problems. I use LabVIEW and Python for real-time data acquisition. University IT and Microsoft destroyed my work in 10 minutes. 32 channels, 1 mhz, stream to disk that ran perfect for five years. An extreme case but it was noticeable.

I agree on your point and I think there needs to be more representation in most places. Also the white people in the room don’t care anymore about dog-whistles. There are 3 sponsor an immigrant programs in the USA currently: H1B (my wife and tech friends), H4 (her friends spouses), and H2B (Trump and Marmalade). For…

I just ran around the Bunker and you nailed it. Walking to find the Vault symbols, you can look down on Thousand Cuts or off in the distance a neon lit arrow points down to a pit, and a skeleton, and something moves ... The DLC was amazing and the re-packaged collection with better load times and without the stupid…

The use of Roland/Lilith/etc as the guides made the game more about them IMO. I am literally playing right now as Zero and am like yeah, sniper that rhymes. But, Tiny Tina? You might have to play all the DLC to get the full experience. Mr. Torgue. Scarlett.

Humpty: Doowutchyalike or that’s the way I swing or as long as I can rhyme on the funk

There is no teaching to his actions. From the “5E” and “7E” models, the first “E”ngagement needs to provide wonder or at the extreme cognitive dissonance. But his actions are being a TROLL. He is literally teaching like the person is posting.

Well, their grandparents own Tazer (Axion) stock, their brother works at the pepper spray factory, and the batons are made at their cousins lumber yard. All purchased with tax dollars.

The cynic in me says rich people were just pulling their money out before the correction. And this XFL will be a Ponzi scheme with him holding more money at the end. Probably a dozen cities lined up to give a tax break and matching incentives, and the small business administration.

That seems positive for the crowds and worse for McMahon/WWE. I saw a link in the suggested boxes about McMahon wanting a GOP product. I’ll read it the next time I need to compile my code.
