  1. what's the opposite of Progress? on How NASA Defended Its Assembly Facility From Hurricane Katrina · · Score: 1

    TL;DR version:
    Survived Katrina, didn't survive Congress

  2. Re:Ramdove on North Dakota Legalizes "Less Than Lethal" Weapon-Equipped Police Drones · · Score: 1

    hey thanks, that's a new one to me -- the one thing Vaughn Bode didn't stick gigantic voluptuous tits on. Gotta love that 70's drugged-out sci fi aesthetic.

  5. don't draw their attention on The Case For Teaching Ignorance · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

  9. goodby bluesky on Group Seeks Test For Geoengineering Tool To Fight Climate Change · · Score: 1

    We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.
