@Regulator_Jack@MartinSkold2 You need to be unusually competent to succeed at a job where you do nothing because the competition for such jobs is very intense
@esrtweet Yeah. Your doctrine needs to not just have an answer to any threat, but a way to cost effectively deal with any kind of threat. Without the a10, there’s an a10 shaped hole in the military’s ability to deal with many kinds of low cost attackers

I do think that there was a ramp up of complexity during this time, where a lot of the protein machinery necessary for complex life but not basic eukaryotes was being developed
It just seems implausible this is what we are made of, essentially, nanotechnology about a billion years beyond anything we can design or make ourselves.
“You’ll get to brush your teeth tomorrow” I explain to her “and the day after that” but I’m suddenly conscious that days are not without end, and I realize that I also don’t understand why she doesn’t get to play with the water in the sink forever
Breaks my heart to see how sad my toddler daughter gets when she realizes it's time to leave the sink, stop brushing her teeth, and go to bed. "No! No!" she shouts, tears streaming down her face. I try to explain to her she’s been at the sink for 20 minutes and
I wonder if that is how I'll feel when I'm dying. I wonder if I'll cry, not understanding why everything that was so beautiful, and now seems like it happened so fast, has to end.
