    Considering a hurricane possesses the energy equivalent of about 10,000 nukes, lobbing one might have accomplished Chris Samuels not getting concussed on the opening kickoff.  brrrrrr.

  2. Who do you think will face repercussions for the tragedies? People at the top probably skate.

    Maybe middle management that had the final signoff on the report that documented all the changes? As they ran simulations during design work, engineers changed the amount of authority that MCAS has, but many people didn't even know about that until after the crashes.

    This.  AND, when it comes to many of those purported "conservative ideals," many of us who have been paying attention have seen them tried, and fail.  Repeatedly.  Like the Laffer curve.  It's hot garbage.  So, not only do we not support the party purporting to advance those ideals, we don't support the ideals because they're a proven failure.  And we're not so stupid as to keep trying shit that fails.

    I would love to hear the Ds go hard in the paint on this fact in the debates and in '20.

  4. ^ ShareX is also pretty nice. Let's you take a variety of screenshots (including making gifs from video). You can do basic editing on your screenshots.

     

    Does anyone have an opinion on using 7Zip (or similar) to password protect files on personal laptop? I think my version of 7Zip offers sha256 encryption. Are there better ways to encrypt/pw protect files?

  5. Tweeting in the middle of the night. Totally normal. Tomorrow's more boring stuff.

    Can we get the guy from "Armageddon" who showed the rest of the NASA team what happens when you nuke a asteroid on the surface as opposed to from inside it...to show Trump what happens when you nuke a hurricane from the outside?  Or maybe we let Eric commandeer a naval vessel straight into the eye of the hurricane and detonate the device there?   

    You just drive a sub up under it and shoot the nuke into the middle. Easy.

    The answers to all of your questions:

    Ledge. Scotch. 

    Our govt. is non-functional. Dysfunctional would be too generous. House/Senate basically don't even talk. Same w Ds and Rs. Same w Congress members and constituents. Do you think you'll get action if you call/write your rep.?

    DOTUS is undermining major institutions of govt. and society by fiat. Black man passes ACA, so I'll sue until I take ACA apart. Like Chooky said, subpoenas are ignored. Trade wars are started by a man with a middle-school understanding of anything that crosses his desk (being generous).

    You can't turn all of this around on a dime if we happen to need it ASAP.
