Gamma male, semi-retired, surfing this ridiculous timeline like everybody else. So hello and/or goodbye. If I hate so fervently, I'm no different than them.
@xisrunbylefties@harryjsisson It employs smart and well-educated workers, for one, and it informs us of the oceans' conditions for science. This administration has little regard for science, education or employment, so it tracks.
@FPWellman The Bosnia pipeline shows the depth of corruption and influence peddling too, Fred. If I lived in Missouri I'd be campaigning for you - best wishes!
@jimstewartson And "intelligence" becomes a consumer commodity, pay to play. Tantamount to paying someone else to take your SAT's, except it's lifelong.
@space_univrs@PhysInHistory I think it was Feynman that said, "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't, because no one does." Or something like that...
@jimstewartson That this kind of banter is even in his brain, and then finds its way to his lips, after which a numb country normalizes it is as surreal as it is horrifying
The symbolism of the Dance of the Little Swans is astounding. 4 yrs ago Xi tells world putin is a nobody; calls him a'wetpup". Now plays the end of t USSR Swan song. even in English it means amen!
Ironically it's Peter Tchaikovsky, a ukrainian , who wrote it. True China needs🇷🇺energy; a lion in a cage needs his keeper 4 nurture. Let's see how that evolves.
@CourtneyLarsen1@TheMaineWonk Hard to believe nobody has commented on this deductive simplicity. Occam's razor is sharp, but this is butter knife material. And I wonder if all that experience & talent now watching from the outside is thinking "it was only a matter of time." TY
@Majora33@KobeissiLetter We’ll be around neither to see it happen nor collect our bets. A million people on Mars is a distant dream, and a permanent self-sustaining colony on the moon should be our focus.
@JamesJimmyD7@stavridisj I'm impartially putting the blame where it belongs on this one, James. The Biden administration could have done better as well, but they were dealt a terrible hand here and I won't theorize if the deck was stacked.
@JamesJimmyD7@stavridisj I'm sick of this response, frankly. It was Trump's irrevocable timeline that Biden had to deal with, while he sent Pompeo to deal with the terrorists directly w/o the Afghan government represented, then did everything he could to make the administration transition difficult.
