If a company had done it, it would've cost several times more - the information would've been proprietary, so each company would've had to duplicate it
If you don't know about government contracting, please don't spread this BS. First of all, many of these efforts are handed off to contractors because government personnel rarely have the skill set, equipment, workforce, etc., required to do the job. Your claim that it would have been more expensive is bullshit. I've dealt with government contracts for decades, and the requirements contractors are handed are often ridiculously written which causes the contractor to attempt to fulfill "needs" that don't exist, and the reason why you end up with $500 hammers. As for "proprietary", that can be written into the contract that the government owns whatever gets developed.
Not disagreeing at all. I'm a conservative, but believe we need to get the money out of politics because it's corrupting the system. SCOTUS fucked up when they bought into the "corporations are people" bullshit.
The nose will go over on its own. Apply full power...full opposite rudder if it's starting to spin. Once you have air speed back in the green, level the nose, and you're pretty much done.
I was fortunate to work at an Air Base back in the late 80s where it cost $250 for a block of 10 hours in the Cessna 152s, or a bit more for the 172. If you needed an instructor pilot, that was another $11/hr. I spent around $3k before I was able to test...mostly because we had to wait on the elevator to come from Okinawa (usually just a couple times a year), so I had a lot more hours flight time than was required. I kept flying up and was nearly ready for the Instrument rating exam when my daughter was born in '91, and I had to give up something to make time. It was fun, but also scary flying around Korea with so many military aircraft, and I experienced enough close calls in only ~140 hours of flight time that it just seemed too risky.
As a conservative, I agree with most of your comment up until you tied in the PACs. PACs are organizations, not people. And just like companies, they wield an excessive amount of influence to the point that physical people are unable to be heard. Until we get the money out of politics, we are on the path to ruin.
Honestly, he should be openly and frequently criticizing the prosecutor. When you hold political office, you don't get to push back on political protest.
Kind of like how grenades and IED's are included in "weapons of mass destruction" under federal law, even though they're not. It doesn't make sense but isn't worth getting upset over 99.99999% of the time.
While I'm in general agreement with your comment on the companies, I don't think public school teacher's email addresses should be private. They're paid for by our taxes, so unless there's a specific privacy/security concern, I don't think any government data should be kept private. Am I missing something?
It was $5B in '17 and over $11B in '18. That doesn't mean they're doing anything illegal, or immoral. From CNN...
"This is tax avoidance, not tax evasion. There's no indication of any wrongdoing, except on the part of Congress," said Matthew Gardner, senior fellow at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a liberal think tank.
US tax code allows money-losing companies to reduce their future taxable income.
It's called an Air Speed Indicator. We didn't have GPS back when I flew, but speed isn't your first warning of a stall. Typically, the nose will fall over, and your stall warning horn will start blaring at you. Recovery (at least in small craft) is easy, and learned very early in flight training.
Do you ever wonder why, by a wide margin, the US has the largest immigration of any country on the planet? No, I don't.
mean that the US doesn't have Hollywood, Broadway, and great artists of every genre Because Hollywood and Broadway still successfully tell the myth that a burger flipper can become a millionaire.
As a former burger flipper who's worth more than a million, I take exception to your bullshit.
Ridiculous. This is a common occurrence that they should have planned for. I lived in Korea for many years, and flights to the US often pick up jet stream winds.
Last week, I tracked my wife on a flight from LAX->IAD on a 737-900 at ~715mph. Yes, mph is what Flightaware showed...not knots. The "planned" speed was somewhere in the mid-500s. Her flight had taken off nearly half an hour late, and arrived well ahead of schedule.
As a former (stopped years ago) Cessna pilot, I once flew from Korea to Japan. Normal airspeed in the 172 is around 110 knots, and with a 70 knot smooth tailwind, we arrived over an hour ahead of plan.
The better weapons you have (bigger, more accurate stick), the less you tend to have to use it. Also the less collateral damage. You can be sheep, or you can be the sheepdog.

Trump is a moron! Clinton is a misandrist! Oh, and the prosecutor in this case is a dick who doesn't understand the frickin' Constitution!
Waiting on the black helicopters to take me to Gitmo.
Harass? Yes
Threaten? No
If you can't handle a little harassment, get the hell off of social media.
Up yours you backwoods hillbilly!
There, did that help?

I'll await the RINO accusations.

It's the same idea with the Gulf stream...ships don't sail against it across the Atlantic...they go around it.
Often, the most direct route is not the quickest.
Maybe implied, but I'd say lacking in clarity. Not a criticism, and no need to be defensive, I just added to what you wrote.

My reply was to someone who explicitly claimed that evasion of taxes was neither immoral nor unethical.
Up until you said this maybe...
As for Amazon, so you're saying as long as I mostly pay my taxes it's fine if I skip the rest as long as I buy off the correct people?
The people of NY called bullshit on that for good reason.
He got us to look...that's his job. More revenue for the rag.
Exactly. Do you carry your phone around when you're at home? Is it always by your side? If so, you are the problem...not the phone.
The speed of sound is not a constant.

The new name for this is Sanctuary Science. We're accepting all flat-earthers, anti-vaxers, anti-GMOers, no nuke NIMBYs.
