The resulting aircraft/technology can be sold to commercial aviation and/or be used for military purposes

That is what companies like Boeing and Lockheed are for.

NASA has no business making airplanes for rich passengers.

We need bullet trains, not more passenger jets.

Speaking of Korea, about 15 years ago a South Korean man went to Amsterdam and blogged about smoking pot there.

He was arrested upon his return and imprisoned because South Koreans are bound by South Korean laws no matter where they are in the world.

I'm not surprised at this point. I'm not shocked. I'm not disgusted.

Like climate change, it's time.

We need to have 2+ functional political parties in this country. One cannot be a terrorist organization fueled by hate.

If you are old enough to vote and do not vote against these people, you are a supporter of Republican rightwing fascism.

And that needs to be stopped before it even starts. If you aren't running, you do not belong at a candidate debate.

You don't get to send your son because you can't handle following debate rules for 90 minutes.

This is a test of whether the GOP exists anymore.

Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged...

Nope. Anybody on hexbear knows damn well it's chock full of racist bigots. They are OK with all that racism and bigotry.

That makes them bad. A lot of racist bigots are polite and friendly. It doesn't mean they aren't scum.

I could say job-related things or my hobbies, but Ima go with Google-fu. Maybe just search engine fu.

I know way too many 'first page people' when it comes to results. No fuckin' way. Learn how to dig. Do not take no for an answer from a search engine without trying a range of strategies to find what you're looking for.

OK, I'm lying. This is part of my job. I teach academic research, and I hear these people with two sources tell me there aren't enough sources for them to do a research paper on a given topic or that all these peer-reviewed journal articles say the same thing.

But it does extend into non-academic life. I was out of town, my older brother needed a U-Haul, drove 40 minutes to a place he knew, but there was a U-Haul less than 10 minutes away that he couldn't find.

I'm surrounded by this.

Now this is where dragging out cases is going to work against him.

Trump needs to STFU until next year.

Fat fuckin' chance of that happening.
