Of course it does. There's a difference between plain old stereotyping and making a correct guess (as I did) based on typical behaviors.
OP hasn't denied he's an American (and he almost certainly is - that attitude is uncommon outside the States), and you are certainly not denying being an Internet Libertarian.
Internet Libertarian trick #6: pretend that someone who disagrees with you is thinking illogically and suffers from "cognitive dissonance", because clearly anyone who thinks logically would perforce be an Internet Libertarian.
It's uncanny how often you folks try to pull that one, it's like you've got a script.
When I see you people talk, all the self-inflicted drama reminds me of junior high girls.
Seriously, the government is not something to be left alone to go about its business, but the way you tweenage girls carry on you'd think it's scheming behind your back to steal your boyfriend, and called your pants ugly to boot.
Literally an "elephant". The FB group is entitled "Oversight and Government Reform Republicans". I'm sure those folks are really dedicated to eliminating TSA, double pinky swear.
Given the GOP's predilections to strength, security, &c,/and/ that the abomination known as TSA (and Fatherland Security) is their baby, I don't imagine they'll take objections seriously anyway.
I'll be devil's advocate for a moment and suggest that maybe someone had the bright idea that this would cut down on dupes and fakes, without realizing the implications.
I think you'll find that not every school district has a teachers' union. This is no doubt more true the further one goes into the Deep South with the deep social disapproval of unions there.
My wife, for instance, has been a high school teacher for over ten years and doesn't belong to a union.
Bailing out at supersonic speed and surviving is possible. Per Wikipedia:
"In the early 1960s, deployment of rocket-powered ejection seats designed for use at supersonic speeds began in such planes as the Convair F-106 Delta Dart. Six pilots have ejected at speeds exceeding 700 knots (1,300 km/h; 810 mph). The highest altitude at which a Martin-Baker seat was deployed was 57,000 ft (from a Canberra bomber in 1958). Following an accident on 30 July 1966 in the attempted launch of a D-21 drone, two Lockheed M-21[6] crew members ejected at Mach 3.25 at an altitude of 80,000 ft (24,000 m) The pilot was recovered successfully, however the observer drowned after a water landing."
Not to mention the Russian paranoia of having another large military power at their doorstep. They're pretty pissed about the idea of Ukraine joining NATO, for instance. I think a large part of their objection to US/NATO/UN military operations in Syria and Iran is just that.
History (Napoleon, Hitler) shows that their paranoia isn't entirely unjustified, but it doesn't mean it's constructive either.
Slashdot Mirror
A naively libertarian (but I repeat myself) person who posts on the Internet. Obviously.
A lack of humor also seems to be a defining trait.
I'm pretty sure that an average person would respond "no I'm not, fuck off" if libeled in public like that.
Of course it does. There's a difference between plain old stereotyping and making a correct guess (as I did) based on typical behaviors.

Psst, I'll let you in on a little secret:
Just between you and me, I'm an American.

You must be an Internet Libertarian.

Paul Atriedes and Baron Harkonnen have declared kanly.
Nonsense. With modern composite materials you could do it.
Yes, a treb made of whatever materials you make an F-18E out of. Shut up, that's why.
Inside joke from a Usenet group.

This is what I came here to post.

That's probably what it is.

If only you could do that /and/ temp-ban the Slashdot editor "responsible" for this story, on account of not bothering to fact-check.
Are you saying that a Slashdot story was sensationalized? Was written specifically to drive nerd rage?
You have *got* to be new here.

Well played, sir, well played.
I expect you're right.
It's too bad Slack has such a crappy package-management system or I might still be using it.

No, the proper resistance mantra is R=V/I.
He'd have gone through at least two or three of them by now. IIRC those buckling-spring switches are only rated for ~25 million strokes.
I think you'll find this is against the author's contract and they could get into legal trouble if they accept the money.
Tsar Bomba was also relatively the cleanest nuclear bomb ever. Something like 97% of its power was from fusion, resulting in very little fallout.
Not to mention the Russian paranoia of having another large military power at their doorstep. They're pretty pissed about the idea of Ukraine joining NATO, for instance. I think a large part of their objection to US/NATO/UN military operations in Syria and Iran is just that.
