The problem with MAGA is that it implies that America stopped being great -- which isn't something most Americans believe.
True for those who grew up after 9/11 and the bursting of the internet bubble, and the housing bubble. But, I bet for most Americans who can remember the 80s, 90s, and very early 00s, you'd get a far different answer.
"The analysis suggests the two black holes that coalesced had starting masses that were just over 31 times and 19 times that of our Sun," And when they finally came together, they produced a single object of a little under 49 solar masses
So, as a non-physicist, I have to ask what happened to the one remaining unit of solar mass since you started off with just over 50 units? I'd appreciate a serious answer, but I'm grabbing popcorn in anticipation of the normal/. replies.
"Blah, blah, blah...Just how did the Pentagon come to be exempt from climate agreements?...blah, blah, blah"
Oh, are the Russian, Chinese, ISIS military following the accords? Yeah, I didn't think so. Once you get the world to sing Kumbaya, then you'll have a valid argument, but until that, STFU.
"As to the case of this oregon man, there was fuck all need for him to claim himself a professional engineer"
I haven't read anything that says that he used the "professional engineer" term, or claimed to be practicing in Oregon. And, that's where these officials fucked up.
When someone is titled as an engineer in one location, and they cross the Oregon border, they don't suddenly become a non-engineer. They simply are not allowed to practice, or be called a PE. This is a clear case of officials who fucked up, but don't like being called out for it, so let's screw with the guy who did.
I'm a engineer from Virginia. If I go to Oregon, and tell someone I'm an engineer, I'd apparently be breaking Oregon law because I'm not licensed in Oregon. That doesn't make me any less of an engineer, it only makes me ineligible to practice engineering when I cross the Oregon state line. These officials are clearly stepping all over this engineer's constitutional right to call himself an engineer, and if you don't believe me, you can simply google some case law at the SCOTUS level.
Actually, according to cases tried by SCOTUS, lying is protected by the Constitution, but it depends on the type of lie, if it was done with malice, and other factors.
"all the test today showed was that there is yet another reason for him not to do a preemptive strike."
That's an asinine evaluation. Why? 1.) He only has a few nukes...current estimates are 8-10, you can google it. 2.) He doesn't currently have the ability to execute a preemptive strike. And do you believe we'll ever allow him to get that far? 3.) He isn't suicidal
What does that even mean? Are you asking if it's against some kind of international rules? If so, other countries have violated them. And what if it's not "OK"? Who's going to do something about it?
It's a test, a single test, and improvements are constantly made based upon these tests. You expect 100% results from an extremely complex system without some early failed tests? At some point in the not too distant future, we'll be able to intercept with energy weapons that can be fired multiple times, but until then, we need to improve on what we've got before NK makes it's weapons viable.
Because it's called out in the Constitution. National healthcare is not.
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense..."
Indonesia? No. Yeah, they have population, but no infrastructure, little education, and they have their own problems as one of the largest Muslim populations in the world. https://www.wsj.com/articles/t...
"This is one of the major reason such companies provide such services 'in the cloud'"
You say this as if it prevents corporate secrets from leaking out. Employees come and go, and many take ideas with them. You see it all the time, and this is no different.
If you're naïve enough to believe that the world is ready for a global organization that can enforce it's wishes on sovereign nations, maybe you should consider some of the idiocy that's come from the UN previously.

That would be boost phase. Where is/was that laser armed 747? Parked in theory.
Yeah, it was parked, but laser work is still in progress. http://www.latimes.com/busines...
"At this point in time, no nation on earth has ever successfully stopped an ICBM attack"
At this point in time, no nation on earth has ever successfully launched an ICBM attack.
That simply does not work when you have a suicidal enemy. Mutually assured destruction requires that your enemy fear their own death, and not all do.
Sure, because the cost saving of doing that is huge...not.

And before that it was the Koreans, and the Japanese.

You must be one of those that kept digging to reach China.
I can wiggle my ears, does that count as exceptional? Maybe these are now being treated like participation trophies.

Just no. Stop calling it that. It isn't.
