Heh...I actually knew about this. A friend's cousin was a CH-53 pilot out of MCAS Miramar. One day, he was telling us, someone didn't properly secure one of the (chairs? racks? don't know the rotorcraft term...)in the cargo h

free trade's amazing, seriously! Time was, mercantilist countries would use foreign colonies for resource extraction; and sell the goods manufactured with these resources back to them. It was great for everyone!

You mean the Chrysler-Fiat "Global Large Engine" Turbo I-6. The short answer is, Stellantis mgmt. takes the US market for granted, and is indifferent to what it wants, and is actively contemptuous of its US dealer and customer bas

This is true; but OTOH, no self-respecting pimp would ever be caught dead outside a club waiting for his girls in a Fit.

Eerie similarity to the poorly-though-out GM factory in Hamtramck back in the 80's-complete w/ poorly considered purchasing of automated equipment that painted itself and destroyed the product that it was supposed to be assembling

A friend’s favorite prompt is “Batman & Julia Child; in the kitchen laughing at a ham”. Sounds simple, but has been surprisingly tough.

X was never, ever, designed for high-latency networks. I don't understand what people are thinking when they recommend that use-case for X apps.

Security has no responsibility towards production, just for preventing breakins. Ergo, their process will always ratchet towards not letting anyone do anything. Engine of a lawnmower, brakes of a Rolls-Royce, etc.

Every user should get their own vscode endpoint, on a severely underprovisioned VM with 10mb/sec access to the cluster filesystem.

What the courts did to the studios back in the '40s should be done today. Your company can either commission/produce original content OR you can be a distributor OR exhibitor. Only one.
