Sorry, I misread.

Let's talk about dogs. You want to raise your kid to not be terrified of dogs, but dogs kill and main a lot of kids every year. So you have two choices. First, any time a dog comes near your kid, you can shout, "Stay away from that dog! They're dangerous and could kill you!" Or you could explain to them that dogs can be dangerous. They're tough, they have sharp teeth and strong jaws, and some are taught to be particularly dangerous for a variety of reasons. You should be wary when you meet a new dog, and should watch for signs that the dog is friendly or not, and approach it in stages if you want to be friends with it, while being wary that things can change quickly.

One says all dogs are bad, the other says any dog could be bad, and you shouldn't assume differently before they make their intentions clear. One demonizes dogs, the other promotes due caution. Neither one gives the dog the benefit of the doubt, but one does leave the door open for the dog to be friendly.

I'm not sure if Louisiana laws gives sentence reduction for good behavior, in general or in this circumstance. Would you not think merely living with the idea that if you behave in such a way that early release is a possibility and would result in physical castration is cruel?

There are at least twice as many icons s on his desktop as on mine!

A Martian space elevator can be built with high tensile steel, and will be shorter than one on the moon. I like space elevators, but they work better on smaller bodies with higher rotation, i.e., low gravity and lower stationary orbits.

And we, worldwide already have plenty of LEO lifters. Why do you want another, when the government can just pay for one?

Do you know how you get new things? Not by not researching them? You should see the amount of money the US government alone has spent on fusion, and still nothing. Look at the money DARPA has spent! Sure, we got the internet, among others, but these people got the money before there was a finished product! And some of those projects failed!

I forgot Zoolander existed until you did that. Good times!

I didn't think he could look dumber, but then he goes and makes this face.

Settle down, Mr. Shrute.

That seems statistically unlikely. I wonder what Chinese officials have to say about it?
