No, that idiot posts the same shit on every article. Just the recent incarnation of shit posters. At least it's short and doesn't reply to itself over ten or so posts like APK or super-long drivel like the GNAA or ASCII swastika posts. Trolling used to be an art.

If it's in flight it's an active mission, if not it's scrubbed until the government is re-opened. Most NASA employees are furloughed and not allowed to work. Very simple really. NASA is funded by the government and have not had their funding approved. Space Center tours, not yet launched missions and missions in the planning stages are on hold.
It is and the AC doesn't know what he's talking about.

" Most NASA personnel will be furloughed until such an agreement is reached, agency officials explained recently in a shutdown FAQ. "Most" is something of an understatement, in fact; about 95 percent of NASA employees won't be able to go to work.
But don't panic: There are "excepted" employees, such as the folks responsible for keeping NASA people and property safe. And "property" includes currently operational spacecraft, as well as the data they collect.
So, operations aboard the International Space Station will continue pretty much as before, and NASA won't have to cancel important upcoming spaceflight events such as the OSIRIS-REx probe's Dec. 31 orbital insertion around the asteroid Bennu, or the New Horizons spacecraft's Jan. 1 flyby of the distant object Ultima Thule.
"However, if a satellite mission has not yet been launched, unfunded work will generally be suspended on that project," NASA chief financial officer Jeff DeWit wrote earlier this week in a memo to James Hertz, Program Associate Director at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. "

Ah, the coming of the railroad. The railroads are also responsible for the time zones.
"American railroads maintained many different time zones during the late 1800s. Each train station set its own clock making it difficult to coordinate train schedules and confusing passengers. Time calculation became a serious problem for people traveling by train (sometimes hundreds of miles in a day), according to the Library of Congress. Every city in the United States used a different time standard, so there were more than 300 local sun-times to choose from. Railroad managers tried to address the problem by establishing 100 railroad time zones, but this was only a partial solution to the problem.
Operators of the new railroad lines needed a new time plan that would offer a uniform train schedule for departures and arrivals. Four standard time zones for the continental United States were introduced on November 18, 1883."
Bullshit. Border walls lost support when the problems of stealing peoples lands to build it pushed the cost into the stratosphere. There are still 85 active cases from that time in the courts.
While I am no fan of HRC, I have to wonder, after 30 years of investigations by overtly hostile congress critters, sometimes repeatedly for the same thing, and all they ever uncovered worthy of prosecution (not the same as nothing at all) was her hubby's blow job, then I must conclude one of three things.
1: She is the greatest criminal mastermind in the history of man.
2: The entire right is totally incompetent, along with the CIA, NSA, and the rest of the alphabet.
3: She is not actually guilty of anything truly heinous.
That indeed sucks. I have a friend with the type that turns letters into jumbles. He has found if he uses red letters on a yellow background he is able to read at nearly normal rates. This has been life changing for him, and turned him into quite the bibliophile.
Good luck, and may you as well find a simpler workaround.
This is the voice of Alexa/Echo "This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours.

Point taken, it wouldn't be as bad now as it would of a few months ago since the R's took a shellacking in the house. Had they remained in control they would of lined up to suck Pence's cock. Still don't want Pence closer to the presidency than he is now.
I actually found it useful, basically for the opposite reasons you didn't. I set filters, and that was it. So it's always been a jumble I didn't care enough about to sort. Now my two Youtube subscriptions of LTT and Scott Manley show up in Social, AAA, other insurance and payroll show up in the promo tab and the rest (I don't use the forum tab) show up in the main tab. It actually cleaned up my messy mailbox.
Email is not primary to my work, so it's always been very low priority for me.
Today however I did have two ads each in the social an promo. First time ever. To GMails credit they are all marked 'AD' but should of been filtered.
Incumbents do not always win. George H.W. Bush for a recent example.
As far as Trump goes, I hope he loses in 2020, but I want him to serve his entire term. Trump is incompetent, but Pence is pure religious ideological evil.
"Just a handful of Republican amendments; it was mostly a creation of the Democrats"
Republicans added 161 amendments to the bill, then refused to vote on it. It was based on the Heritage Foundations earlier proposal (including the hated mandate).

Oh, not because of a college snack robot, but because of how ridiculous the idea of sentient meat making machines.
Who wants to talk to meat?

No, the purpose of organic produce is to sell you the myth it's better for the environment at 3x the price.

Personally, I found Solo to be a good Star Wars movie, but a terrible origin story.
What, you don't like reality TV?
Manhattan?
And you have to ask WHY?
Open your eyes sardine.

Wouldn't work, they'd treat it like a TOS agreement and just click Ok.
No shit, check out North Carolina, where ballots were illegally collected and......oh, wait, that was a Republican scam....never mind.

They drained the swamp so now only the rot at the bottom remains.

One hell of a handful there.
