Of these, most are easily handled. I am in a midsized city and there are plenty of groups that offer music, robotics & engineering, speech & drama, etc. focused towards homeschooled students. That, plus the rise in homeschool &quo

Fuel depletion is _not that risky_ is an interesting take. But hey, it won Chapecoense its first and only Copa Sudamericana, so maybe it isn't that bad after all? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMia_Flight_2933

If the theory is that PIF's involvement is the video game equivalent of sportswashing, this is pretty much exactly what we should expect – the Saudi's expected return on their investment is improved perception and more opportuniti

> sure, threat model matters. no protection is 100%, but more is better. You can't just say "threat model matters" and then treat security as an absolute gradient (poset?). That means you don't have a real threat mod

Again, lazy! Yes: if you have half of a billion dollars in BTC, sure – you're a victim to the wrench, be it private or public. If you're a terrorist mastermind, you're likely going to Gitmo and will be placed in several stre

Ejecting from an airplane is no joke: 18g of force leaves 20-30% with spinal fractures, and ejection seats have an 8% mortality rate[1] It seems to me that continuing flight with inoperative/damaged landing gear while you discuss alter
