  • No, it shuffles on, a decaying zombie shell of it's former theoretical glory.

    Still, you put it well. I'm impressed with your literary talent. Tell me, have you ever considered writing a Hungarian phrase book?

  • True, but we don't have that society, yet we do have the ability to automate a lot of people out of a job.

  • We could automate those jobs, yes, but then a lot of people would have no jobs at all.

  • I was an enlisted aircraft maintainer for a term of service, and I don't recall ever being in need of aa box cutter.

    My opinion stands, however. They want knives, let them have knives.

  • "Corruption" that entertains junior enlisted should be viewed with a much less harsh eye than, for example, corruption that enriches senior officers, or contractors, or elected officials.

    It's not a good thing, but it's not exactly what I'd call "important." Plus, I'd be willing to bet it's an artefact of the stupid budgeting system we use.

  • Motivation, mostly. I have half a dozen abandoned projects in writing, model building, miniature painting, electronics, programming.

    I'm a man of many talents, and limited attention span.

  • That's why I specified lady minotaur. I know what I'm about.

    Male minotaur need not apply.

  • If they switched that up for a timid young farm boy and a lady minotaur with huge . . . tracts of land that need caring for, I'd read it. Wouldn't even need to change the title.

  • That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.

  • I think Microsoft may be overdrawn on that particular credit line.

  • I had assumed this was the case from minute one.

  • It would be nice if this served as a pointed lesson to stop putting useless, unwanted, invasive features and AI into things. Or at least to make them work.

    Bread and circuses. It's not complicated.

  • This is consistent with his statements about most of his campaign positions.

  • You're assuming that they know the first damn thing about their strongly held lifelong beliefs about the nature of reality.

  • If my credit card debt vanished, it would measurably improve the quality of the rest of my life. I'm not gonna just pile the debt back up, and not having to make the payments would free up money I could save for retirement or emergency.

  • Has he ever apologized for anything? Ever? Even sarcastically?

  • I plead the fifth.

  • Will no-one rid us of this turbulent dipshit?

  • If everything is a national emergency, nothing is.

    I am appalled at how well "flood the zone" and "move fast and break things" works to destroy a nation. If sanity ever returns, the response to either action needs to be the death penalty. I don't know how to properly write a law for that, but it is clear to me that any lesser response will only cause the bastard to back up, and try again.
