  1. Eh, "eith" got us to comment on TFA. Otherwise I wouldn't have been interested. But I was curious what the buzzword-bingo word-salad actually meant.

    So, a "win" for TFEs.

    Yah, I saw a vid a few years back about a new Buff pilot flying the same airframe as his dad.

    The 50's and 60's were incredible for the science of flight. Large airframes were perfected during these years. For awhile new engines were the only "real" improvement, for varying levels of "real". Innovative wing designs after that provided evolutionary improvements.

    Since Trump has demonstrated that he doesn't even understand what the nuclear triad is, I wouldn't expect him to have asked to make the squadron ready for alert status.

    Ah, but the generals he surrounds himself with certainly do.

  10. Re:Technology is an accelerator and amplifier on Silicon Valley 'Divided Society and Made Everyone Raging Mad', Argues Newsweek (newsweek.com) · · Score: 2

    And the internet is no different: It accelerates and amplifies. People who couldn't find information in a library can't find information on the internet. People who believe biased newspaper articles believe biased blog entries. To people who use and value information, the internet is a great resource. Some of the stress that the internet causes is just seeing the stupid that would normally be filtered out by more restrictive media.

    Great summary of the issue.

    But it also enables great talents that we'd never know without it: Organized media brought us Payola and heavy rotation.

    Yep, follow the stupid, er, follow the money!

    Sadly, the alt-left has many of the same techniques and the same goal: power over others.

    Yeah, I thought that was an incredibly insightful paragraph from that book. It's said that civil wars are the bloodiest because the people are very similar and speak the same language.

  23. Ha! I remember all the kingly jokes about obama back then, good fun. I did notice that while it was "royal this" and "king that", I didn't see much of the "emperor penguin" type jokes, but I'm sure there were plenty as few actually know the difference between leader-types. I guess everyone was waiting for a new prez for the "emperor has no clothes" jokes to really get going.
