Because you cannot just “tear down” an existing facility (that requires years or decades of careful review, environmental impact reports, et cetera). And it wouldn’t satisfy the small group of protesters anyway. Existing telescopes are already scheduled for decommissioning.

Except your house in this case is a great scientific instrument that can answer fundamental questions about our existence and this is the only place in the country that it can be built and operate at full capacity. Also, the compound is already there on the top of the mountain. This is more akin to remodeling an…

I don’t know who’s upvoting you, but are they the same ones that would’ve happily upvote Trump when he listened to a few millionaires in Utah over the vast majority of the Utah and Navajo community to strike down most of Bears Ears a couple of years ago?

“Just as we have a responsibility to learn the state-of-the-art in of our respective fields of science, we also have a responsibility to learn the history of our discipline,”

At the same time, so many places in the world are built on someone else’s culture and history. If you found out that the house you own was built on an ancient burial site that a small minority of members of a local tribe believe is sacred, would you volunteer to tear down your home and restore the land back to its…

Or even better, paint a red stripe on the LCS and make it some other service’s problem.

I work in this area (although not currently with the DoD) and it’s a very common problem since SharePoint came along. I’ve personally dealt with private companies that have >65,000 Team sites and none of those companies is as large as the US DoD.

Not in this day and age, bub!  We sit here at our computers and diss anybody trying anything new, it’s the American Waaaay!!

No, I think that’s called Twitter.

As a life-long Californian, a state which has done its utmost to try and curb climate change, it is all too little too late. I blame both parties. The problem with the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States are people who think they owe their allegiance because of sweeping generalizations instead of…

I was born and raised in the southeastern United States, and my parents immigrated here from Pakistan before I was born. My parents are really proud of their Pakistani heritage, and my sister and I had many Pakistani influences growing up. I speak fluent Urdu, I love cricket, and I have visited Pakistan every 1-2…

But how will people engage in consumption occasions when everyone is unemployed? Oh wait it won’t matter because they will have captured short term gains at the expense of long term economic health. And really, fuck you I got mine, will always be the name of the game.

Have to keep some for hookers.

By portraying itself as a victim and not a perpetrator of automation

Automation isn’t so much a force of nature that’s “going” to happen, it’s already happening. And of course they’re not going to voluntarily retrain the employees they let go...why should they? That’s why we need higher taxes on companies like Walmart, so the government can afford to costs of dealing with these…

I honestly don’t stress out about the cleanliness of flights. Call me crazy, but all this “kill all germs” mentality has given us weak ass immune systems. That being said, there are a couple things I typically do. On long haul flights, you tend to get a wetnap of some sort before the meal service. I use that to wipe…

This!

I work in the trades, and we have a limited number of spaces that open up every year (this is also very dependent on the economy). As it stands every time the apprenticeship opens up we have about 500 applicants for 20 spaces. You want to get to that front of the line?

You should be looking at making sure you have a…

I’m having trouble understanding something about this. Why is Amazon able to hire people at these low wages, if the low wages are too low? Doesn’t this fly in the face of capitalism? (Just talking about the problem in Scotland, not California). If the wages are too low, then people won’t take the job. ANd then…
