what does this mean for PV patients? specifically, those of us with budd-chiari... @mpnrf.bsky.social

pilot, clearly the movie is a late period in the lore, and cements the will-they/won't-they dynamic, which eventually undermines the whole show

FFRDCs invent new weapons tech. Contractors operationalize it. How is the DoD going to function without us? Textbook example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Believing cops tell the truth is like being shocked that Trump was in the Epstein files

ITAR is an absurdity

landing fees alone are probably 3x the cost of the electricity, let alone the cost of a pilot

i could guess from context, but what specifically is a goose show?

sorry this "digital engineering"/"digital twin"/"digital thread" stuff is one of the most hopeless dod catch phrases that's ever existed

Yglesias, Klein, Smith and all of these dorks think you are dumb. They think everyone else is dumb, they cannot conceptualize that their dishonestly oozes off of them and that it doesn't take a Georgetown degree for people to recognize it immediately. Fart huffers club

i know someone who got _really_ good at Latin so they could get into Harvard/Yale as a marginal legacy which worked once they enrolled, they switched majors to Econ and is now a wall street banker at goldman

chronic disease patients are the bulk of healthcare expenses, so pursuing cures saves money but instead they're doing eugenics

6/7 I would be worried if UKR started destroying Russian ballistic missile subs or tens of land based/mobile ICBMs at once (however, 1-2 a week would be a fascinating compellence strategy). And, Putin only wants peace by conquering Ukraine. So fuck him and fuck his dual capable aircraft.

the problem with artificial intelligence is what it does.

whats strange about it is that it is so completely divorced from any notional reality or ideology in any complete sense of the form its so scatterbrained that it makes me think the actual plan is treason...

i am still genuinely in shock at the "build your own cloud" memo. it seems like the most cost (and graft?) efficient way would be to EXPAND the use of commercial software

Yes, but the matrix gets one critical detail of its time period correct: 1999, was in fact, the peak of American civilization

Nothing like coming back from the doctor's office, my literal child colleagues and having one of them tell me that the "old movie" that I recommended was "good" That movie? The Matrix

The prior gif is from Saving Private Ryan (1998). Three years prior, the "looping gif" was invented.

consider also that the OP used a reference to the Simpson's "Homerpalooza" episode, which came out three years before the Matrix (1996) this is you:

"At-will status would create actual or perceived pressure to favor politically expedient research over scientifically meritorious work, undermining the fundamental integrity of these programs and contradicting the conflict-of-interest safeguards that are central to their operation."

No chance. I doubt he gets the nom, let alone makes it past the senate. On the off-chance he gets the nomination, he will eventually commit some massive gaffe, and get himself fired again. Easier to get some boring heritage budget dork through the cycle, someone who they can control.

He's as crazy as Mike Flynn, he just hasn't done any treason (that I'm aware of).
comment in response to post
Kwast is insane. Fired during Trump I for being totally nuts. He has a self described "theory of war" that it "complete", "true across all historical period and domains, including space". He then transitioned to his claim that we should be beaming power from space to high endurance drones.

Ted Cruz/big-defense leadership are more interested in keeping federal aerospace (defense + nasa) funding high vs trying to keep a (dysfunctional) space program afloat If I were Ted Cruz, I'd trade NASA for a few more F-35s...
comment in response to post
I think this ends with NASA getting a Heritage goon put in charge, and the budget getting defacto zeroed out...
