Yep, but those spouses are making so many invalid assumptions that you should take that as a warning flag and get out.
Point is what the other AC said about communication. Invalid assumptions wouldn't be made if people just talked out their issues.
Hey hon. What are you watching?
Porn.
What exactly?
A scene with twelve people and a midget in a shower.
Now don't you start getting any strange ideas.
Of course not. Just think of how uncomfortable that many people would be crammed in the shower. It's just a fantasy.

Hey hon. Have you ever thought about remodeling the bathroom?
How would the FAA enforce requiring all drones having ADS-B
The FAA wouldn't. The Air Force would.
We've been looking for a mission for all those A-10 Warthogs. Launch an unidentified and possibly hostile aircraft over our soil and enjoy your BRAAAAAAAAAAP!
It works just fine. Look up some time. All that stuff strung between the poles and transmission towers... aluminum. So is the stuff underground. Even the larger service lines into your house are made of aluminum. Pretty much the only copper left is small wire (branch circuits from your panel) due to the higher cost of terminating aluminum properly.
we'd all be using them instead of copper and aluminum
Probably not. Lanthanum isn't particularly rare. But good luck rounding enough of it up to make a small dent in the copper/aluminum transmission conductor market. Maybe for niche applications like MRI and other instruments.
They should probably be fired for gross misconduct.
Like that's ever going to happen.
I have a friend who used to run a photo processing lab (when film was still a thing). One of his techs told him to come and take a look at one of the rolls coming off their machine. Pictures of the family and kids on the front lawn, with license plates and house number visible. And then pictures of the control room of a modern submarine. Having served in military intelligence (back in Vietnam), he knew this was a no-no. So he called the FBI, who came and took the film,saying that they would 'take care' of the problem. Nothing ever happened to the person (an exec at a local defense contractor) but he lost all the photo business (unclassified) from them and a few other DoD contractors.
The DoD isn't going to lean on the big shots in private industry. Or the next war they fight, they will have to do so with sharpened sticks.
Paste empty clearings in the forest with some logging equipment parked. Maybe a few piles of cut trees.
They use this for some of the wealthy people's vacation homes and hunting lodges in closed (purportedly a watershed) public area near where I live. The area access is secured with CCTV and automated gates. These aren't unimproved logging/maintenance roads. They are very nicely maintained and, if you are nearby at the right time, you can see the occasional Mercedes or BMW coming or going. But Google maps shows nothing other than logging roads and large, stump-covered clearings in the woods.
Domestic terrorism is directed at 'soft' targets (usually civilian). The few strikes against military bases have been by insiders. Who already know where the bases are and what is inside them.
We don't need superconductors. Period. The whole idea of moving energy long distances comes from the big utility model of business. Solar and wind can be generated locally, nearer the loads. What we need is storage. As this problem is solved more economically, the need to shift from generation to use sites goes down. And as this need goes down, the cost of losses to support temporary energy shifts becomes less of an issue.
A side effect of the AC/DC conversion technology needed to support battery interfaces to the grid is that as the price of this comes down, it's use to build DC transmission lines comes down as well. As this happens, we will see more DC transmission used for medium and short distances.
I actually worked in a nearby engineering building, but our techs had shop space in the main factory building. So I'd walk through the plant and watch the planes being built. A lot more interesting than the public tour.
When I visited our shop, I'd take one of a few shortcuts through what is a rabbit warren of passages, offices, store rooms, etc. One area consisted of a bunch of lunch tables with people sitting around, reading the paper or playing cards. When I'd walk through, most of the time, I'd dress casually. So I blended in with the factory work force. But occasionally, I'd wear a suit. And I'd go walking through this area. Immediately, a guy that (I assume) was the group supervisor ran out and asked if he could help me. With a pretty frightened look on his face. So I asked our techs what was up with these people. It seems that their boss had managed to carve himself out a 'do nothing' task and assemble a group of his buddies. Who spent their day just reading the paper and playing cards. But they are buried so deeply in the factory building that nobody would find them. Except for some guy who looked like he was from corporate, wandering around asking questions.
Slashdot Mirror
In my opinion, there aren't enough.
Personally, I blame Slashdot.

Why would someone's spouse give a crap if they watch porn?
Because some spouses don't like to live up to unrealistic expectations created by porn.
and will commit its military
Unless the developers of fusion power also built one of those other fusion things.
less than half the weight and it is why this metal is commonly used
Also to keep the hobos from stealing it.

California has some 'rare earth' deposits worth considering. Seeing how they are pushing alternative energy so hard, lets bring on the strip mining.
aluminum - didn't work out too well.

nothing to do with the OS
Real multitasking OSs don't crash (and take the network with them) when one application crashes.
Remember Windows for Warships? One app divided by zero and crashed the entire network. First time we lost a navy ship to a zero since WWII.

Go back to e-mail. Or IRC, or ....

Google and Facebook try to have it both ways.
Only because AT&T, Comcast and Verizon want it both ways as well. Google and Facebook are just playing catch-up.
Do something about their in-store food prices
Costco is just across the border.
Lots of nice hiding places.

This is Boeing. The original volume figures are probably in hogsheads.
believe that a guard in Canada can be bribed
It's actual US dollars.
