Are you familiar with Vladimir Vetrov and the Farewell Dossier? Reagan’s arms race wasn’t an accident and it wasn’t idiocy.

My limited reading of the Star Wars project leads me to believe that it is because of it (not despite it) that the Soviet Union was forced to throw in the towel.

An ICBM is a missile with a range of 5,500 km +. Whether it actually crosses continents or not isn’t actually a criteria.

Once again: he can be ignorant of the functions of the DOE (which, again, is disputed and probably not an accurate assessment), but it doesn’t follow that he’s ignorant of energy policy, which is the problem with the article’s assertion.

So I guess you’re not aware that Texas leads the country in wind generation?

Smaller panel gap too. Small kids can fit into tighter spaces.

We’re on our fifth President since Reagan. The Soviet Union has dissolved and Russia has had what, three or four leaders? I’m not a Reagan fan but come on. . .

Part of me says “Get another job then”, part of me says “why are you sacrificing family moments for your job?”, and part of me says “learn to lift with better form, you’re working in manual labor, of course its hard on your body”. A very small part of me says “aww poor person”.

We would likely be negotiating with the Soviet Union.

Republican or Democrat, whoever was in charge of my rural white ISD in Texas did a pretty bang up job, because it’s one of the Top 1000 schools in the nation.

A couple of points for perspective:

If only we had a stealthy platform with which to launch over half our nuclear arsenal that could be parked at within a few hour missile flight from anywhere in the world...

(we are)

And Military departments seem to behave much like their civilian counterparts. If you don’t use your budget, odds are you will get less next year, since being good with a budget gets you punished like that. So everybody not only makes sure they use every dime they get allocated, they beg that it isn’t enough.

Imagine you run a taxi service and each of your cars is expected to drive 1k miles per week. Under this plan, you can schedule routine maintenance and overhauls and size your garage, tooling, and workforce to meet the load. THEN, demand surges and your drivers are driving 3k miles per week. All of your routine…

Sorry, that’s bullshit. She compounded one crime— albeit one she was made to commit by her parents, or whoever made her come to the US— with another. Identity theft is identity theft. She knew it was illegal, and did it anyway.

I had an undocumented worker using my ssn to work. It merged her name with my credit file and caused a lot of headaches. What Garcia did is wrong and she should have consequences. Those consequences should not involve being torn apart from her family however.

No, she stole a real number. “The New York Times reports that Rayos, who was convicted in 2008 of using a false social security number to obtain employment”. This is code for “felony identity theft”.

Imagine having your identity stolen. “The New York Times reports that Rayos, who was convicted in 2008 of using a false social security number to obtain employment”. This is code for “felony identity theft”.

Also not widely known - the rumble strips at the sides of motorways are to let blind drivers know what road they’re on and what junction’s coming up...
