Your view of the U.S. military is about 30 years old. That's not how they work these days, and their attitude towards security is not all that different than your basic hairy FSF guys.
And their view of Trump is that he's a walking disaster just waiting to happen. I agree with your assessment that they aren't attracting the A-list talent. His cabinet sycophants are proof of that. When asked about guns in schools, Ms. DeVos opined about grizzlies in Montana invading schools.
His Treasury nominee does a first class backstroke. When questioned about el Presidente Tweety's remarks about having U.S. debt holders accept less than face value of the debt in repayment, he trotted out the usual Republican b.s. about an expanding economy curing the debt and deficit problem, the latter to be made worse by Tweety's plans to piss off infrastructure money on his construction buddies. When it was pointed out that even their most optimistic projections of GDP growth wouldn't cover the new deficit spending much less pay down existing debt, he whined about the senator using old figures. It was pointed out that the figures were more current than the nominee's. He then proceeded to explain that using dynamic scoring, the figures were in line. The senator told him he was full of shit. Too bad the senator's time ran out then.
In case you were wondering, static scoring is what used to be used to judge the cost of a government program. Then the Republican figured they could make the figures look so much better if they calculated the expansion of the GDP with the new government program. That's about as honest claiming I'll be rich if only I'd win the lottery. It isn't wrong, just highly unlikely.
I did a brief check, there's about 5,000 mine jobs in Wyoming and about 15,000 others in the associated businesses. Wyoming's pop. is roughly 600,000 which puts it behind Alaska (about 750,00) and Montana (about 1,000,000). My guess is that the mining industry is so entrenched that other options that should have been pursued years ago on diversifying their economy were never considered. As coal started being eaten by natural gas, the coal industry doubled down.
The result was the people got screwed yet one more time by industry and government who couldn't get out of their ruts to diversify Wyoming's economy. Now the choices are much harder and more expensive. The state never did seem to consider education a valued notion. So their choices are very much constrained to manual labor intensive industries.
runaway warming will jack with the economy a lot more than green initiatives. Oh, but that's 30 years down the road, you don't need to worry your little head over it.
Well, Trump is a "baby Christian" now according to the Prosperity Evangelicals. This baby Christian has decided that America no longer needs to be accommodating to refugees. Jesus said give up all you have an follow him. So we'll be seeing Trump dump his dough any moment now and offer Trump Tower to refugees...Muslim refugees, we'll be wanting to know he is sincere.
Get it straight, Trump is not dishonest. To be dishonest he'd have to ascertain what is the truth. In Trump's case, he cannot lie because of three other personality traits, (1) he cannot recall what he said before, (2) what comes out of his mouth isn't something he's thought about, it merely exists ephemerally for the moment while he figures it can get him attention, (3) he picks up scraps of data (not information) like a dirty snowball rolling down a muddy hill. This is a man who thinks Championship Wrestling is a sport.
David Brooks nailed it in a column a few weeks ago, most presidents have policy analysis behind what they say because they do not want to walk it back later, and more importantly, it fits into a cohesive and coherent policy agenda they are very interested in pursuing. In Trump's case, he has no problem saying the exact opposite of what he said prior and no thought in what he says current. There is no policy agenda in the sense of a uniting collection of principles to achieve some end. His cabinet choices show that clearly. He's a perpetual adolescent in need of parental approval (substitute societal institutions) but constantly kicking them in the shins because he needs the attention he gets by doing it.
Wow! You can save Apple with headphone jacks and escape keys? Have you told Apple this? Maybe you could apply to be CEO, with insight like that I'm sure they'd listen to you.
Linux folks generally don't get GUIs because that was never part of their education. Most are perfectly happy with a command line interface. GUI development is hard and requires a very different skill set. It is more of an art with a lot of touchy-feely air about it. And one person's GUI is another's bane if not done correctly. Consider allowing the command line interface to be lifted into a GUI. What are the paradigms that must be supported? How orthogonal are the features? How do modal interactions cloud the intent of the commands? Are there even commands?
The Interstate System. NASA's trips to the planets. FDA keeping your food from killing you. SS keeping Grandma from moving in with you. NiH keeping research going on the diseases that might kill you. Need I continue or has your myopic stupidity completely clouded your vision?
Remember when asked to describe what undisclosed information he knew, Trump said, "You'll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday." That was last week or the week before. We're still waiting. Maybe he's too busy watching for Hollywood slights to get back to us on that.
And there is this gem talking about the intelligence services, "I think it's unfair if they don't know," he said. "And I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove."

I wonder what this does to the political parties in the U.S. It would seem the Republican fare the worst, their view is that if you are poor, you should go find a job. The Democrats have a more share the wealth attitude of taking from the rich, it seems they'd fare better. The Libertarians become mostly unemployed and won't accept a handout, they're toast. The Greens? I guess it depends upon how green the bots are.
Are you sure they are bumblebees? Digging holes is something I'd expect from hornets or wasps.
In late summer (although not last summer), I get yellow jackets digging holes in my yard. I used to think they were hornets but they are wasps. Anyhow, running over a nest hole with the lawn mower generally unleashes the Horde from Hell and they don't stop stinging until you more or less assicate the area and kill those that came along as you run for your life.
I found the cure. They like to sleep in in the early morning. So I go out with can of insecticide, any will do, and squirt some into the hole. Then I plug the hole with that foaming insulation in a can, stick the straw down in there and let'er rip. Sometimes they are able to dig themselves out but not generally. A second treatment seems to finish off any of the smart ones. Works like a charm. After they are gone, pluck off the foam potato generated by the insulation and throw it out. I generally leave them in until the leaves fall so I know what holes have been plugged and to check for any escapees.
Hmmm....seems quite close to the Internet of Shit and the plans the appliance manufacturers have for making everything "smart". In your home, you will be surrounded by some immovable drones, all talking to one another, keeping tabs on you...until...they start talking to the Roomba and the new smart tools and learn how to become mobile.
Whatever. Let's check in with the fish. They've been leaving the coastal areas on the Eastern Seaboard for points north and west towards cooler water. Fishing management rules haven't been keeping up so seamen further down the Eastern Seaboard find they can no longer catch fish unless they go great distances.

BS. This is just Foxconn playing el Presidente Tweety's ego. He's such a rube.

Yeah, like Germany.
Yeah, two world wars would tend to give patriotism and nationalism a dirty name. Let's bring them back and see if they are still a threat.

Yep, and it is easy to figure out who did what and when. All you need do is ask them.
Now, now, Trump, go have your hot chocolate and go back to beddie-bye. Melania will be in to tighten your diapers and tuck you in shortly.
I give up, what is it that MS is good at?

Grammar Police, that would be "rote".

Exactly what I'd expect said from an Agile transformation coach; fixation on the process instead of the result.

There's approximately 138 million Muslims in India. Yes, most Muslims left for East or West Pakistan at the time. East Pakistan is now Bangladesh.
So, while yes, most Indians are Hindus, 138 million Muslims is still 10% of the pop. of India.
Please try to keep up to date.
"So I am sure all of these anti Trump/Giuliani posts are perfectly content with the job the Obama administration has done"
Comparing apples and oranges isn't a deep logical argument.

With it 5C hotter globally, the ice caps are no more. That translates into several feet of sea level rise.
And you are also assuming there isn't a runaway greenhouse effect. See Venus for an example.

Fish get to vote. They are smarter than you.
