And yet Trump lives. I guess that proves the theory wrong.

I've never been so disappointed to have a conspiracy disproved.

Seems you understood the spirit of it.

I'm reasonably sure that the level of leadership that's running carriers is still mostly competent.

Of course, President Musk might decide to go down there and take personal charge of the carrier group. That might be fun.

If you don’t chop off the head of the beast, it’s not going to stop.

I think there is something here we can work with.

That's the Fox model. Have your talking head invent visit on the morning program, have them debate it on the afternoon program, then have the evening program report on the controversy.

Yea. Amy order from a judge is deemed to be legal.

On the other hand, in extreme cases, I'd hope they ignore the judges order to massacre the village.

Yea, if we assume for the sake of argument that we should be executing people are all, nitrogen gas seems like a pretty good way to do it. I've never made a detailed study, but I've worked with the stuff, and had the safety training. Apparently there is no "danger" signal from the body, and you just keel over.

Larry Niven is not up everyone's taste, but I find that his Laws, such as they are, stand up reasonably well. On writing, he said this:

f you've nothing to say, say it any way you like. Stylistic innovations, contorted story lines or none, exotic or genderless pronouns, internal inconsistencies, the recipe for preparing your lover as a cannibal banquet: feel free. If what you have to say is important and/or difficult to follow, use the simplest language possible. If the reader doesn't get it, then let it not be your fault.

I wish this was taught in schools.

That's a selling point if I ever saw one.

Not us. The people in power, and their rabble.

The rabble don't know what DEI is, only that it's on the list of things they are told to be against.

True. I'll take what wins we can get.

Thanks for the advice. I've never ever heard of Rust, but then I am a mere dabbler in programming.

I suppose an app may be my best bet.
