We need the OPTION of "pure technology" programs with no filler and no other goals than giving the student customer as much information and training in the field of their choice.
There's nothing to riot about, yet. The current situation is a day at the beach compared to the Great Depression, and the public are divided between the two Parties so everyone has a plump affirming cawk to suckle on. USians are vocal, but they are too cozy and stupid to change anything, and more important they no longer have any idea about what to change other than breaking government (not a bad experiment).
The Party of Disney is in the White House, and even moderate Republicans like Obama tend to be welded at the lips to the Great Media Sphincter.
What's horrible is the above should be a troll, but it's true.
The Department of Mission Creep (excuse me, "Homeland Security") is also wasting resources in pursuit of IP violations. All well and good until someone loses a Trade Center.
Those who restrict themselves to "moral" methods cannot win large wars. It was easier to fight a two-front war against Germany than have a Soviet Union (which couldn't be cut off or outflanked) push West.
Morality does not win wars.
There being no reason or benefit to not murder Stalinists and their supporters, and every reason TO liquidate them, it was wise to do that and support those who did that.
The fight against Nazism and Communism was an existential struggle. That justifies (by logic, morality is whatever one feels like making up to suit their desires) playing each against the other, be it taking advantage of Spain or taking advantage of the destruction of the Wehrmacht AND of millions of Communists on the Eastern Front.
Let's not forget Franco had plenty of supporters. He wasn't "inflicted" on Spain. The winner was decided by battle, which is what battle is for. People accept that the way to stop Fascists is to kill them, but that applies to Stalinists too.
Franco kept Spain stable for decades, dealt with old-school Communists in the most effective way, and was a reasonably good steward of his country, which he kept out of WWII.

Crosstraining out of Comm/Nav beat the fuck out of staying on Moody AFB in the 1980s! Job was fun (F-4s) but location was a ghastly backwater. They even warned us during inprocessing that Lowndes county had the highest VD rate in Georgia.
Of course I didn't voluntarily crosstrain to nosepicker. I went Engines, then a few years later we were merged with APG by Rivet Workforce. Later, they "un-merged" and ended up with a bunch of noob Engine troops and a bunch of the sharper crew chiefs who were better Engine troops but weren't allowed to switch even if they wanted to.
Avionics is not a fast route to rank, but it beats working. If you can sneak into Gold Flag that's magnificent. I was too senior to get in when it was started, though with multiple AFSCs I was plenty qualified.

I run Windows and Linux on Linux, but have tried Windows hosts and they work fine.
Distro churning is a breeze now. Download any .isos which look interesting and have at it.
If you have any questions, you can surf using the host if the VM isn't behaving itself.
As an aircraft mechanic, I wouldn't touch one of those. Too much liability for me.
"Seems like it would be a great way to ruin your airplane."
The rich folks who buy these curiosities aren't likely to drive them much.

"Sony will kill you and your children, rape your dog, and piss on your grave. then they'll track all your supporters down and do the same to them"
I, for one, find that idea vaguely arousing....
" the melting-pot culture that made this the best fucking country on Earth in the first place."
That melting pot nonsense was always propaganda. Nothing has changed.
Skilled manual trades have intensive, multi-year paid apprenticeships, often assisted by their unions.

Down with retaining customer data instead!
What doesn't exist cannot be stolen. :)
Good luck getting anything useful from my distro downloads.
If China gets it, I can afford the cutter and welder in the same way we afforded the computers we post on.
That and the laws of war. There is no way to defeat a popular insurgency without committing so-called "war crimes" directly or by proxy.
Therefore, only a Hafez Assad or a Stalin can win those sort of wars.
"One world democratic order is a good and welcome thing; and once we cooexist it will be comical to learn of the trivial differences people once had."
That shit doesn't even work in democratic COUNTRIES, let alone scale beyond that.

"Um, people can learn....right?"
American drivers excepted, yes.
Bubba and LaQueefa are too fucking stupid to operate the systems we have now, hence the thirty-whatever K people killed every year on US roads.

"Bah, so shoddily written and obviously fake that's it's not even funny"
That makes it a good fit with the rest of Fox pseudo-news. Yes, really.
Der Sturmer probably had better editors.
That ignores the OTHER "outcome set" of losing, which is subjugation to foreigners, famine, pestilence and death.
Rome and Carthage may not, for example, been hugely different. I'd prefer to have been a Roman for obvious reasons.
The tendency to view war ONLY through the currently fashionable lens of popular "morality" ignores everything else!

Fighting against Fascism in Spain meant fighting FOR Stalinism in Spain. Let's not fap too hard to romantic visions of the Abraham Lincoln brigade.

Quack eugenics doesn't make eugenics a bad idea any more than quack medicine makes medicine a bad idea.
It's common when bidding on Ebay too. If your opponent "thinks round", act differently.
